New in PN: Lindsey Graham and the rot of modern conservatism
"Lindsey Graham died a coward. From Gingrich to Trump, he embodied the movement-to-racket transformation of modern conservatism. Has America ever witnessed a capitulation so self-abnegating as his conversion from snarling Trump critic into swooning cheerleader and apologist?" https://t.co/6w153kvSr7
Hey media
Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"
I’m sorry, but I’m not gonna be nicer about this. Neocon boomers are mortgaging my generations future by amassing trillions in debt, turning America into a pariah on the global stage, and getting our troops killed for another failing war.
I have to watch these neocons lie about the state of this war on TV every single day. Then, the moment I push back and assertively ask, “hey, what’s the actual goal here?” I have a legion of neocon boomers telling me I should know my place. Or I should wait my turn to talk with the grown ups.
Fuck that, genuinely.
I’m not claiming to have all of the answers or be all knowing. But young people deserve a seat at the table to fight for our interests as well. 95% of media is made up of boomers in suits who created these problems, and being nicer isn’t going to fix them.
I just want to scream! Definitely a vacuum on this platform, but the absolute hypocrisy and lying about everything is making my head spin. Never thought the good days were gone, but I am pretty well convinced we are irrevocably lost and never going back.
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
It’s really important as a society that we don’t become desensitized to the sheer brutality and evilness of a “skull being broken” by “immigration officers”.
I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?
I don't blame Lovo for taking a 3X salary bump, I would of stayed loyal to Albuquerque but I understand he is not from here.
But, dang bro, no thank you, no goodbye!? There is a right and wrong way to leave. Coach Pitino did it the right way, Fernando and Bronco not so much ✌
Benedict Lovo what a cold hearted creep with that video after being introduced at CU. That guy makes me sick and regret ever supporting him whatsoever. We were nobody’s in his book. Zero statement about UNM, fans, supporters, etc.
