you should probably build your arguments on better foundations that dumb rhetorical flourishes i used in a post i gave about 4 seconds of thought to
If that were all it were, you wouldn't call people "Blue MAGA" repeatedly, or feel the need to defend it half as hard each time you do. You'd abandon it as a jab that fell flat and move on. But you keep going back to it knowing that people will likely call you out on it because you truly believe it fundamentally.
First thing that comes to mind about Biden is me being thankful for not hearing about every stupid little thing the POTUS does anymore...then realizing I probably hear less about Biden than even Obama. Might not be a bad thing tbh.
Oh I believe theres truth to it, its just not that serious. Im not posting an editorial on Salon.com, Im writing a 4 second post on Board8.Again, if it weren't serious you wouldn't care to defend it. You would move on, but you're actually incapable of doing so, even to prove me wrong.

President Biden, speaking at a Texas fundraiser: "Just the other day, this defeated looking man came up to me and said: 'Mr. President I need your help. I'm in crushing debt. I'm completely wiped out.' I had to say, 'Donald, I can't help you'."

Literal comic book villains.
Seems to me that mtg is mad about Johnson for the same reason as last speakers... he passed a budget?Republicans hate it when people attempt to govern.
Seems to me that mtg is mad about Johnson for the same reason as last speakers... he passed a budget?Yep, all of the GOP speakers since Boehner have fundamentally fucked by the fact that a substantial fraction of their caucus are very mad about leadership doing basic government functions like passing a budget without getting absurd concessions.
For reasons not entirely clear to me, the appeals court has ruled that Trump can post bond at $175m instead of the full $464m amount. They're giving him 10 days to do so instead, instead of today being the deadline.Even dumber given he tweeted recently that he had the cash to pay it.

To be clear, the judgment amount is still $464m and if he loses the appeal he still owes that full amount, it's just that the amount he needs to put up to keep the state from seizing it while the appeal goes on has been lowered from the full amount to $175m.
justice system just works different for rich white men as usual
Wonder if he still can't make this reduced amount.
The UN Security Council has finally passed a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, the US abstained rather than vetoed it this time. Looks like even the US governments patience with Israel has finally run out.
I think the notable thing is that its a slightly Republican leaning marginal district (Trump +1) and she won in a landslide. Though of course it needs all the usual health warnings of it being a special election and there being local issues and so on.
Republican Teddy Powell lost his bid for a seat in the Alabama House to Democratic candidate Marilyn Lands on Tuesday despite internal polling conducted in December which suggested he was on course for a comfortable victory.
Lands flipped the previously Republican district with 62.4 percent of the vote against 37.6 percent for Powell, a Madison City Council member. However, an internal poll conducted by Powell's campaign in December put the Republican on 47.7 percent of the vote against 36.8 percent for Lands.
Ahead of the vote, both the Powell and Lands campaigns released internal polling suggesting they were on track for victory. In January, Lands published a survey conducted by Impact Research between December 16 and 20 that showed her on 43 percent against 40 percent for Powell and with 17 percent undecided.
Referring to their own internal poll, Powell spokesperson Dalton Dismukes responded: "We believe our poll more accurately represents the district.
"Frankly, it's surprising that our opponent, who spent tens of thousands of dollars on an unsuccessful campaign just over a year ago, would boast about being within the margin of error of an internal poll.
