@mattyglesias As a person of the left who definitely thinks monetary is less important than @mattyglesias thinks it is, I agree with the article that the whole climate change piece of the Fed Chair argument is pretty dumb.
But letting Republicans run important institutions is insane
@Ollie__Tabooger@TerryMcAuliffe Yeah I remember Gore warning in 2006 that by 2021 we would be experiencing widespread flooding, fires, and more and stronger hurricanes.
What a dumbass!
So let me see if i got this, last year some grifters told y'all to take random shit for COVID, and you did, and it turned out it was a big lie and you all looked like idiots, and now the SAME PEOPLE are telling you to take some random shit for COVID and you're doing it again?
@SenTinaSmith So, the plan is to get 60 votes in the Senate? How is that possible?
You know it is not possible. You are just grandstanding on the issue to raise money, with absolutely no plan for how to address it.
Usually you only get to lose twice, so I'm also happy to amplify your primary opponents, but since none of them have crossed my feed, I'm with you (for now)
@beyerstein Is it a black guy? because then definitely yes. if it's a Democrat, I mean, he probably knew she was going to get an abortion, so we can sue him. A god-fearing Republican man probably was trying to STOP her having an abortion but she went behind his back so he's good
@RealKidPoker FWIW this question doesn't upset me. There are some wrong assumptions. 1) It upsets me the way many pigs, cows and chickens are treated. 2) There is a difference between killing for food and other kinds of killing, such as for sport or for gambling purposes.
@MrNMath@DougPolkVids@NateSilver538 I would like to hear this too (doubt they will get into it as I don't think NS or DP know anything particular about VA state politics) but one important factor to realize is that in 2017 it took an extraordinary effort to overcome a severe pro-GOP gerrymander. maps better now
@StateOfVA@TerryMcAuliffe Mussolini had people who disagreed with him kidnapped and murdered by secret police, after taking power by storming the capital with an army of paramilitaries.
UR asking how that's different from a candidate for governor talking about using tax policy to increase vax rates?
@PurpleHatKid@mattyglesias It's amazing how the idea that the lives of foreigners have value suddenly materializes after 20 years of killing them for some vague benefit to American security when it is useful to those who don't want their war party to be over.
@DLT649 The last 20 years has been this conversation over and over again:
Hippies: We should get out of Afghanistan.
Very Serious People: No, then it will fall into the hands of the Taliban!
Hippies: That will happen anyway.
VSP: No, give us six months!
Repeat every six months
@disgruntledmoon@ProfTalmadge It doesn't really work like that in Afghanistan (or anywhere really but especially Afghanistan.) It's a warlord system. Bribes and promises of protection and kickbacks are exchanged in lieu of fighting. Read Filkins'
"Forever War."
