More likely than Joe Biden to have committed an impeachable offense, but enjoy your cult.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?

Re: Politicial post something for no reason
A nice read here about one editors firing for being too fair.
‘Are We Truly So Precious?’: James Bennet’s Damning NYT Portrayal
The former Times editorial page editor clears the record on his controversial 2020 firing.
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/ ... g-00131826
“The Times was slow to break it to its readers that there was less to Trump’s ties to Russia than they were hoping, and more to Hunter Biden’s laptop, that Trump might be right that covid came from a Chinese lab,” Bennet writes.
“The Times’s problem has metastasised from liberal bias to illiberal bias, from an inclination to favour one side of the national debate to an impulse to shut debate down altogether,”
“The old liberal embrace of inclusive debate that reflected the country’s breadth of views [gave] way to a new intolerance for the opinions of roughly half of American voters.”

And:
“One of the glories of embracing illiberalism is that, like Trump, you are always right about everything, and so you are justified in shouting disagreement down,” Bennet writes. “This is how reasonable Republican leaders lost control of their party to Trump … [and] it is why the leadership of the New York Times is losing control of its principles.”

Amazingly, there have been fairly swift consequences for these actions. Weird.

Cool, I must have missed the consequences for the tranny tap dancers and the swearing in on child porn! Can you you fill me in please?

Get back to me when they are even remotely a serious problem rather than a distraction to get fragile conservatives into a froth.

Re: Politicial post something for no reason
Hilariously, the belief of those "Democrat Slave Owners" are much more aligned with the current GOP.
Keep re-framing history to fit your narrative though.

Just because your party's history sucks balls doesn't mean you get to swap it out with something else. Own it, B

Re: Politicial post something for no reason
I can't own it. It's been illegal since the 1860s.
Why does the concept of evolution so difficult to understand?
Oh, right. You're an unserious chaos agent, who oddly seems to be A-ok with the current Conservative "platform" and belief system.

So being pro-choice, anti-death penalty, anti war, pro-cannabis, and open to socialized medicine is now conservative? Interesting

Repeatedly calling it a coup doesn't make it any more true, son. And what vigilante murderer are you talking about?
