Meanwhile, in a move that by complete coincidence comes alongside a huge Qatar deal that Trump is attempting to claim credit for, Boeing has been let off the hook for intentionally breaching the plea deal that got them off the hook of being prosecuted for killing hundreds of people with engineering they knew was defective. I'm sure that'll make them learn their lesson and be safer next time.

Is that the code for being wrapped in anchor chains and dragged behind as shark bait? Because if so then yes.

Remember when we thought Sean Spicer lying about the inauguration crowd size was a bizarre new low? Ah to return to those halcyon days…
-
Yeah. And?

Didn’t the poorly educated try and overthrow a legitimately elected government because the election results weren’t as favourable to them as the polls had suggested? I guess they’ve forgotten about that already. After all, they are poorly educated.

Right - you’re an eye for an eye guy. You accuse me of being happy that Chauvin was assaulted in prison? No, you are happy that Chauvin was assaulted in prison. That’s what you think should happen to violent criminals in prison. Even if he was innocent (he isn’t, as you know), you don’t care, just as you don’t care about any other wrongly convicted person being beaten up or killed in prison. It’s just the cost of doing business. Of course it’s politically inconvenient for you to admit that right now, so you’re lying about it. Unfortunately, all of that is a lie. Your first set of facts were that if only you had been there to help hold Floyd down, Chauvin would have been able to let go. The real facts are that Chauvin didn't let go when two other cops were already helping hold Floyd down, he didn't let go when Floyd was unconscious, he didn't even let go when a paramedic told him that Floyd was already dead. What exactly have you changed your mind about as a result?

They did such great work on the committee to find out how to weaponise the federal government.

Didn’t the blanket layoff of probationary employees across the government mean that all the trainees in the pipeline were fired?

So you're saying that hiring and promotion in technical fields in results driven industries is not, in fact, done purely on merit? That it is always a subjective process driven by the personal preferences of the person doing the hiring? It's like you're so close yet still so far away from having a really important revelation.

He's a true man of the people. A veritable hero of the down home working class!

Yes, you claim to oppose discrimination in theory but in reality scream and shout and insult anyone who wants to reduce the amount of discrimination that happens. Why? Because the everyday racist reality of the workplace suits you quite nicely.
-
Right? At least it blows up all the pathetic excuses that Winsor and the like always deploy to deflect the truth. "Everyone who talks about racism are the real racists!" Well this brazenly white supremacist administration is laser focused on talking about racism now.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cpqe7rp388vt The emboldening of the racist right is quite something.

He ain’t gonna change, just let him do his racist thing.

What exactly do you think that comment has to do with the post you're replying to?
-
Except that you literally do support them. You voted for them. Even now if the election was tomorrow you would vote for them again, because you support what they're doing.
-
Clearly far more important for a next gen fighter is for it to be coated in gold leaf from tip to tail with a kind of Doric motif at the front. That always looks super classy.
-
Well isn’t life full of happy coincidences.
-
Good call. Just keep believing that even though the far right literally tried to overthrow the government at the direction of the president, the far left is just the same. Best to ignore anything that would upset your fantasy world.
-
Do they though? Really? Or do they see it as ‘why should my tax dollars pay for someone else’s….’? I’d say we’ve all heard that phrase too often to count, don’t you agree?

After all the movies about the dangers of the singularity, who would have ever thought that an honest(ish) AI would be trying to protect us from the radical politics of its megalomaniacal creator?
-
Not exactly. Start with the simple fact that right wing social and economic policies are fundamentally more selfish than left wing social policies and already you start to doubt that they are sure their policies are better for society rather than just better for them. Then you look at the number of times their rhetoric and their actions are diametrically opposed and it becomes clearer that the power is the number one goal and the rest is an afterthought. As one prominent example look at Marco Rubio right now. We know for sure that he genuinely believes that opposing Russia and supporting Ukraine to the hilt is the right thing to do but in order to stay close to power he instead throws Nato allies under the bus and publicly licks Putin's balls because Trump told him to. If he had a shred of sincerity he'd have resigned after a week and joined John Bolton on the TV pundit circuit.
-
That's just lazy bullshit thinking though, isn't it? The far right is now in near total control of the Republican party. The far left is barely represented on the fringes of the Democrat party. They are not the same, no matter how much you would like to feel better about your decisions by pretending they are.
-
Hence the question, are you insane? Nothing Joe said hinted at anything remotely in that direction and you know it. This is just more of the naked double standard you and your political fellows apply where the Democrats have to have the perfect candidates with the perfect policies and the perfect campaign starategy in order to even be considered as an alternative to the unethical, criminal and incompetent dumpster fire on the other side.
-
Are you insane? In what way is ‘and then do what’s right’ in the current Republican playbook? Project 2025 was nothing to do with the campaign, it was the behind the scenes playbook on how to consolidate total power after the campaign, and use it to push a nakedly anti-democratic agenda.
