Exploring history, the rise and fall of civilizations, and constantly scratching my head at todays politics. Presentism should not influence history. 📖 📚 ⏳
GavHands doesn't believe in socialism. He doesn't believe in anything, really...except Gavin. He will say whatever he thinks he needs to say to whatever audience is in front of him at the moment, then turn & say the opposite to you a second later. He is a vacuous shapeshifter.
We can send people into space, hit targets on the other side of the planet, and arrest a sitting president without a single casualty, but somehow we’re told it’s impossible to implement the Save Act.

Nobody cares about or watches these female superhero movies. I think there’s been maybe one that didn’t flop this century. Female led action films in general are almost always a dud. There’s no audience for it. Nobody wants to see some 105 pound girlboss action hero. It’s a comedically absurd premise, and there’s no getting around that. The studios are of course aware of this market reality. Yet they keep churning these out anyway because they’ll willingly lose money for the sake of pandering to women who want these movies to exist in principle but don’t actually care to watch them. That’s how female-centric our society has become.
AOC has absolutely no interest in, or knowledge about, foreign policy, foreign wars, the US Security State, the CIA/NSA, or geopolitics.
Her real passions are identity politics, shallow social justice issues, and standard liberal economic reform.
It's one of the many huge flaws in her ambition to be a national politician, but also one of the major reasons she's so representative of the modern-day mainstream DNC-dependent America "left."
The widespread liberal rehabilitation and embrace of George W. Bush (and Dick and Liz Cheney) -- and then their whole circle -- makes a complete mockery out of everything they pretend to believe.
Everything they say about Trump now is what they said about Bush and Cheney then.
@TimJDillon We underestimate what teenagers are capable of. Many now reach 18 with little real-world experience or direction. Protecting our youth is important, but I think we’ve swung too far, and the pendulum will eventually swing back toward responsibility and independence.

🚨 On Thursday, the SJC ruled that the ballot question to reduce the income tax from 5% to 4% will not be on the November ballot, citing failure on the part of Attorney General Andrea Campbell to provide a fair and accurate summary of the question.
“This is a disgraceful outcome for Massachusetts taxpayers and a direct result of the Attorney General’s failure to do her job properly,” said Paul D. Craney, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance.
“More than 100,000 residents signed petitions to put tax relief before the voters. They followed the process, did the work, and earned a place on the ballot. Now, because the Attorney General’s office produced a summary the court found to be significantly misleading, voters are being denied the chance to decide for themselves whether Massachusetts should lower its income tax.”
This decision doesn't make Massachusetts more affordable.

People in Massachusetts get so worked up about the federal government, but it’s always crickets when it comes to holding our own state government accountable.
Massachusetts citizens rallied behind a ballot question to lower the income tax from 5% to 4%. More than 100,000 people signed petitions to put it before the voters.
Now, because of a flagrant and indefensible error by the Attorney General in describing the measure, those citizens have been disenfranchised.
I am stunned by this level of malpractice. Once again, Beacon Hill gets away with ignoring the people, and once again Massachusetts voters are the ones who pay the price.
