I hate that I see stuff like this - that would’ve been a huge scandal 3 years ago - and just assume that nothing is going to come of it. I really hope that someone smart is keeping track of all this for later
“The Social Security Administration’s internal watchdog is investigating a complaint…” oh cool, so probably nothing will happen
Not saying this makes it right, but I believe that quote was given by a Muslim, and they do point out that he is the head of a conservative think tank, so I don’t take it as an endorsement. But I do understand the question of “why even include the quote in the first place?”
Don’t know what year this was, but this might be the most early 2000’s photo I’ve ever seen
I assume some of y’all are just going off the headline, but “chooses his words carefully” doesn’t have a negative connotation as far as I’m aware of
Maybe I’m too willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but I’m really not seeing what everyone’s talking about. The article doesn’t seem to imply that he’s conflicted, just that his messaging is different when it comes to really serious stuff like terrorist attacks.
Better security
It’s like the one guy driving on the side of the road past a traffic jam going “I’m so smart for being the only one to think of this”
My point is that they weren’t “right” about anything that the rest of us couldn’t plainly see as well
Wait, I think I’m a little lost. Is dark woke the same as woke 1 or woke 2, or is it a separate thing? I think I might need a chart
Smart politicians would know that they have the strongest voice and can actually affect people’s views. Do you think the whole country just started caring about trans kids in sports out of nowhere? Republicans pushed that shit relentlessly because they aren’t afraid to drive the discussion
But they knew that Trump was bad! They were the only ones saying that he would do bad things, absolutely no one else was also saying that
What were they right about? That Trump was bad? Could you not put that together yourself?
Which suggests that ironically crime might go up soon, which republicans will of course use as fuel to blame democrats somehow
Now all your neighbors have guns! Uh oh, that doesn’t feel very safe! Better bring in a shit ton more police now just in case
Holy shit are they actually blaming AI for this?! I can’t… well I guess I can actually believe it but it doesn’t make it any less insane
I went to Ireland last year and got to talking to some locals. I told them I was American and they responded with “oh, I’m sorry”
Omg I was just gonna say this reminded me of that!
I did vote for Harris (among other work I did) thank you very much. That doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to criticize her. If you don’t hold your leaders accountable, what’s even the point of voting?
You know that thing where you “annihilate” a countries navy, but it’s totally not a war?
lol looks like he’s yelling at HW
Yes, and?
The Atlantic and Mother Jones are in the same column?! It’s also crazy that AP is considered “far left”, I guess because they report actual facts?
Meanwhile most of the actual reporters who gave us the truth about that war and others are out of a job
They also could’ve shut down ICE years ago, but chose to fund them more, so they don’t do much when they are in power either
But yes, let’s keep blaming liberals for practically begging Harris to be a candidate that would’ve beaten Trump
What’s your point? That the voters should’ve known not to vote for the candidate who was openly anti-war (since he was lying), instead of the candidate that was weirdly cryptic at best? I mean, yeah they should’ve, but we all know that’s never gonna happen so why not focus on what we CAN control?
Yes she could have? Also he could’ve changed his stance at any point
OK then get mad at Trump and see if that’s any more helpful
That’s literally the point of the post. That’s why the quitting would be the courageous thing to do
