the bill, which already has broad public support. A recent Harvard CAPS/Harris poll of 1,999 registered voters found that 71% support the SAVE America Act.

I highly doubt that most of those people polled have any idea of what Republicans actually mean by "proof of citizenship". I would bet money they just think it means showing your driver's license and/or social security card.

In reality, it means having to show a valid passport (which is a massive pain in the ass to obtain) or having a copy of your birth certificate (also a huge pain in the butt to get).

Polls lie, always have and always will. It's not about the question but how you ask it.

Two things. First, Kirsten Sinema can get fucked, she seems to have screwed every person who's ever come into contact with her, especially her constituents in Arizona. But second, this is the most ridiculous lawsuit I've ever heard of.

North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allow jilted spouses to sue for “alienation of affection” to seek damages from a third party responsible for the breakup of their marriage.

This is the kind of corn fried bullshit one can expect from these fucking Southern States. Marriage isn't sacred, it's not even all that important. I think if we reduced it down to contract law like it's should be, things would be a lot simpler. In fact limiting marriage contracts to 20, 30, or 40 year lengths and adding in specific stipulations would probably improve a lot of people's experience with it.

P.S. also a not quite third thing. Her lawyer's last name is Epstein. And I just realized how much it really must fucking suck for anybody who has that last name right now.

Honestly, seeing the ad, I think this only works in his favor. But then again I guess I'm one of the "radicalized left" and the GOP is actually trying to scare Christian Nationals away from voting for him.

The deep fake stuff is creepy and actually should be illegal. But it's also a two-way street. I think the DNC needs to fight fire with fire.

I looked up KCD2 and at first I thought it read Kingdom Hearts 2 and I began wondering what kind of sick bastard would... But then I realized my mistake. I mean, you're still a sick bastard but there are levels. 😒

Yeah after reading this I'm honestly wondering how much oil futures he has invested in. Like, what can the Federal Trade Commission do if the President buys oil commodities then starts a war to drive the price up in order to make a billion dollars?

Because Texas is dominated by Christian nationals and the GOP has framed themselves as the only choice for "true" Christians to vote for. Talarico is flipping that narrative on its head.

No, that's angels. The God of Abraham would be better defined as having no gender or sex whatsoever.

if you really love communism, why not move to a communist country?

First, there are no truly communist countries. Just authoritarian ones that use communism as a method of control. And now we live in an authoritarian country that uses capitalism as a method of control.

I also didn't say anything about "loving communism", whatever that is supposed to mean.

Prager U doesn't make a distinction between socialism and communism. That's the same propaganda we all got growing up in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. Conflating one thing with another. And that is the problem. Prager U is going to tell kids that paying taxes so that a poor person can eat is communism and taking your property away to give it to someone who doesn't want to work for a living. They're going to tell kids that taxing rich people will prevent them from having enough money to create jobs for good hard working Americans. And that giving things away for free will make people not want to work.

These are the same lies we grew up with. Only with the failed state of the USSR as a "good example" of how communism(socialism) always fails. Ignoring the fact that it was deep corruption and authoritarian rule that actually destroyed the USSR.

Edit:

capitalism is about owning your own busisness

No, it is not. It's about using the labor of other people to enrich yourself.

Any such thing, even if it were to emerge tomorrow, would be swiftly destroyed by all the other platforms that already exist. Because it would be an absolute threat to their business model.

Following your example to its logical conclusion.

There is something we can do. We can hold the other grenades accountable for their explosive nature. Something that has traditionally not been done. Which has led to the situation as it stands now. The company line has always been grenades explode, that's just their nature.

We've been indoctrinated into believing that if we step in and tell a man to back off from harassing a woman that we are "cock blocking" them and that is impolite. It's not and men aren't entitled to being allowed to talk to women just because they want to.

He also did it to help Russia recover economically.

I'm a GenXer and I have literally been fed anti-communist propaganda since I was a very small child. It's only in the last 20 years or so that I finally "woke up" and realized how absolute bullshit it all really is.

I don't think this is necessarily due to age. I think it's just that circumstances have made capitalism look so bad that you realize that the propaganda was exactly that.
