Ever seen a president cry?

Obama did iirc

of course it's the day i'm in class at 9:30

I'm they're great for people they work for

But I'm skeptical every time I hear about these "wonder" drugs and can't help but think about what kinda horrid long-term effects will pop up 30-40 years down the line

nightmare blunt rotation

"I don't want new things, I want the media I experienced as a kid 100 times just regurgitated back at me exactly the same as it was back then"

wtf are people bitching about?

Its strategic rather than performative though. The point was to put Hamas sexual abuse in headlines and build support for the invasion. If she voted yes it would be reported as a unanimous resolution.

Okay but like Hamas should also stop raping people, so even if the resolution was performative crap, don't expect me to be too negative about it.

In terms of things going on "House votes unanimously to condemn the use of sexual violence by Hamas" is not the worst thing that could happen lol

Like it's clearly just a performative vote to show support for Israel, and it's mostly bullshit.

But the fact that she voted "present" puts her motives and (more importantly) her political instincts in question.

Like this is the same thing with the university heads being questioned by Congress and then royally fucking up the answer to "is calling for the genocide of jews something that would result in expulsion?"

clearly a stupid, performative question, but instead of just playing along and waving it away with something like "Yes of course that behavior is not accepted at our institution" they gave some weird non-committal evasive answer.

You don't need to swerve away from an obvious lay up like that. Sometimes playing along is best lol

Fair enough, but that number also doesnt include Muslim non-Arab americans, and either way I think the point is made as to why this protest makes sense for Tlaib and those invested in saving Gazans.

I mean nationwide Trump received 50% of Muslim voters who consider themselves white or "non-Arabic".

Like it's clearly just a performative vote to show support for Israel, and it's mostly bullshit.

They gonna do that vote for IDF as well?

Probably not, because a good chunk of Congress has an unhealthy love affair with the Israeli government

Enclave posted...

A pointless preformative bullshit vote that doesn't actually do anything nor changes anything? Literally just a waste of congresses time?

Literally a vote just saying "do you condemn this group for using sexual violence on its enemies"

Performative or not, it should be the easiest question to answer ever.

Am I missing something here?

The census counts children and non-citizens, which would make up a portion of that.

In addition, this assumes that Biden got 100% of the vote from that group, which I assure you he did not. IIRC exit polls in 2020 showed something like a little over half to 2/3rds of Muslim voters breaking for Biden.

Doe posted...

since theres more Arab & Muslim voters in Michigan than the margin Biden won by in 2020

this is not true

Here, let's balance things out a bit, a link to all the times Biden has said dumb shit

https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/bidens-history-getting-away-racist-remarks

did you seriously just link to the fucking heritage foundation lol

Need more CE adjacent discords tbh. I like the community here but I use the site less frequently than before lol

feels like dems just don't have any big names right now

wat

TotK has more content, but the phrase "wide as an ocean and deep as a puddle" comes to mind.

Like it has tons of new shit, but it's kinda integrated really awkwardly into the world and isn't especially fun to do

I hope not. Hopefully if Trump loses again his supporters will finally give up on him and just move on with their lives

lol we know thats not gonna happen.

I mean you'll recall on Jan 6th when proper law enforcement was mobilized that's exactly what happened

The reason it was not mobilized sooner was directly due to Trump's power as president at the time.

Biden/Harris would not be so hesitant

DarthAragorn posted...

And even if we manage to avoid Trump we're left with Biden.

Seems like he's done a good enough job the last 4 years

MFBKBass5 posted...

and a worse version of Jan. 6 takes place

this doesn't have to be how it shakes out

Who is asking for a game like that.

this is always the stupidest piece of media criticism

Like, living in a house or apartment with carpeted floors

It's all hardwood this and that nowadays

AbsolutelyNoOne posted...

it's almost as if people that aren't fascists don't like fascism or something wow isn't that a crazy revelation

(it will take republicans several years after Trump dies to realize this)

they're gonna be campaigning on Trump for decades to come

Hell Reagan's been pushing daisies for 20 years now and they still don't shut up about him

Are people really trying to use this as evidence that Biden will win in November?

Polls consistently show that Pennsylvania is among the best swing states for Biden. But Biden is losing to Trump in: Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.

The only poll that matters is the one on election day

hehehehehe

Wait Matt Gaetz has a wife?

I thought... yknow because of Nestor that he...

Ah well it doesn't matter

Barbara Lee is a jackass, but not so much for this

The Holdovers made the list

Man's got good taste

Conservatives formed the "silent majority" starting with the Nixon years and stretching through the 1980s. They had a solid lock on most cultural/social issues in this period.

However, since the 90s, they're slipping. They have a hard time winning elections nationally, as the internet/social media spread, their hold on the culture loosened, the fact that places that usually skew conservatives (more rural-based communities) got absolutely gutted by free trade and the 08 recession, then mix in 20-30 years of radicalization from 24 hour media like Fox and viola

does she have pasties on wtf is that outfit

Dolomedes and Lost all senses bailed and are on discord among a few others that left here.

where is this discord

SkittyOnWailord posted...

Yes, but is the decline of malarkey a good or bad thing? Give me the deets.

Malarkey is bad

The Trump years were full of malarkey

SkittyOnWailord posted...

I'm confused. Would Biden winning make more or less malarkey than we currently have?

You can clearly see on the graph that since 2021 there's been a steep decline in the level of malarkey nationwide

The graph doesn't lie

Don't get Wings started I put him on ignore because of his rabid Palworld nonsense

Wings isn't a bad guy but he's the sort who gets very obsessed with one particular subject at a time and if someone doesn't match or questions his excitement in that subject he's prone to lashing out

ok?

so non-story then?

relax dude, people talk about things. it's fine lol

SALT TEEEEEEE

I mean great for the devs and people who are still into it, but anyone could've predicted that there would be a drop

There's probably going to be a further drop and a sizable chunk of people won't come back

Doesn't mean it's a bad game, but it's how these things tend to go with early access games

NoxObscuras posted...

Disagree. The bones of the game are good. It's going to have staying power.

The amount of times and the amount of games I've heard this said

I mean I said when it blew up that this would happen. It's very much a "flavor of the week" kind of game.

Yeah and there should be term limits for Congress

There's already term limits. They're called "elections".

Legislative term limits are one of those things that makes you feel good when you talk about it, but they're really not good when you game it out

I thought it was fake.

That was so fucking pathetic of him lol
