No, this was real. NYT loved to boost never-Trump Republicans.

At one time, liberal and conservative centrists alike hailed Vances bestselling 2016 memoir of making it out of rural, poverty-stricken Appalachia, transforming himself from a tempestuous teen into a successful Yale law school grad.

A chunk is missing towards the top. Not much.

I'll just consider you a bullshitter then if you're just here to insult instead of actually discuss this. You made a claim that seemed ridiculous to me, I made a 'wat' comment, you replied back implying you have to 'dumb it down' for me then when I ask for further sources for your claims you just say I don't know shit and further insult me.

I'm a liberal and I certainly did NOT like his book at all.

So far, a lot of pro-Palestinian accounts want Maduro to stay as leader of the country.

Well, MAGA isn't opposed to a political dynasty so long as it's their side.

wtf is this guy??? i keep asking, but how is he a real person???

the guy is a caricature. wtf lmao. there's no way he's real.

Only one?

wat

Al long as it was only some glass or bullet shrapnel that hit his ear, no big deal, right fellas. But of course, even if it was a bullet, it only grazed him, so no big deal, right fellas. It's no big deal no matter what actually happened.

The judge said Williams had threatened to terrorize the health facility and delivered on the pledge with violence and physical force, preventing some people from getting health services that day.
An indictment said Williams boasted on her livestream of the protest: "This is going to be a wonderful day. We are going to terrorize this place. And I want the manager to hear me say that. We are going to terrorize this place. More people are coming.

I definitely think he regrets Vance, no doubt. But if he was going to make a move anticipating a tight race Rubio would be the smart move. Hopefully he doesnt do that. I was so glad when he picked Vance. What a dumb move haha.

No, but then I don't really believe the allegation anyways. Even if it were to be true, there is probably facts and context that is not yet known.

Like I don't even know what to say. She doesn't believe much of any of the project 2025 stuff is going to happen and the worse that will happen is Trump is going to be buddy buddy with foreign countries doing his business deals. Doesn't think project 2025 is going to happen cause too many people will vote against Republicans if they do try that stuff.....

She believes Dems will just burn money with there regulations and she dislikes the fishing regulations they just put in place which doubles seafood costs or something. She thinks a lot of the tax stuff they are going to do is just embezzlement....like I don't even know what to say to her....

probably buy a gfaqs account

Explain "uncharismatic challenger" being "likely true." Does that mean Trump is uncharismatic? Because he actually owns a fucking cult, so idk if I'd say he's a charismatic guy, but I wouldn't say he's "uncharismatic."

Colorblind?

the victim said they were not groomed and most of people I see pushing that angle are following it with "die t slur die" and shit on Twitter, so I don't really care. the shadman thing means nothing on its own unless you want to cancel a ton more people, a ton of people just thought he was a funny edgy guy until a few years ago

J6 is its own thing, much closer to the Beer Hall Putsch than to any kind of legitimate protest.

Undirected riots that aren't protests any more would be things like the LA riots after the Rodney King verdict.

Protests can have a variety of reasons for taking place and they definitely can be very organized. They generally don't have the same intent as the ones you're describing though. You did a good job of explaining one type, but you can't just pretend that things like organized union based protest don't exist. Those are also things.

The public sometimes confuses them for having the same purpose, which seems to be the issue you're getting at here.

I've heard this from a few different people all at once, recently. Who started this? I would consider boycotts a form of protest, and those can be effective. But otherwise, this just makes protesting sound counterproductive and petty.

There's an old saying "those who make peaceful protest impossible make violent revolution inevitable"

IMO a protest is essentially fair notice that people are really pissed, and are being peaceful, for now.

It is not, as already noted, any kind of normal political argument.

I wss responding to a post that wasn't yours.

But I do not agree with your assertion tat because they supposedly "cannot be controlled" that means that its valid for it to be a free for all with easily cooped messaging and unclear intended goals.

I think there's a pretty hefty distinction to he made between that and other protests, and you yourself acknowledged there have been astroturfed protests as well.

Thats not all protests tho

And the problem is that a lot of times those free for all protests end up hurting the people they're trying to help, either directly or indirectly.

Protests piss me off because they're ultimately toothless.

I remember when there were legions of people protesting outside Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas' houses before Roe v Wade was overturned.

And I kept thinking "yeah, keep waving your signs and doing your chants. It's pointless; the judges don't give a shit. Nobody's listening."

The whole "the protesters are being paid" thing pisses me off every time I hear it. The idea that no one actually feels passionately about something horrible that happens and needs to be paid for fake a protest is just demeaning. Especially since they only apply that logic to causes they don't agree with.

its about the double standard

ava was rightfully dragged over the coals

but jimmy is not

jimmy also has connections to shad but that is not getting the same attention

I know some might say "Genocide Joe" will be his legacy,but I think history will consider his presidency as one of the better ones in American history.
