What a dirtbag.

Ah.

you’re on the internet too much

Oh, when was that, when two people were honestly debating their views and policies? Was it Nixon? Reagan? Bush? other Bush? Which Republican was it?

what bullshit

You can be critical of a politician and still support that politician. Why that’s suddenly a super difficult thing to understand is beyond me.

…so then you totally did understand, you just wanted someone to waste their time explaining it so you could immediately come back with jill stein nonsense. that was a dick thing to do.

It wasn’t for you. Your posts are banal and amateurish. It was for other people.

Back in the before times, bills would come to a vote and bills that had virtually total support would go thru with unanimous consent. Now, bills are blocked from being voted on so that Senators aren’t on the record being shitbags. As you quoted Vance saying, ““it’s idiotic for us to take the bait” in regards to Democrats using the bill to force Republicans to publicly declare whether or not they support IVF.”

Think about that statement from a Senator, then marvel at how fundamentally different he sees the job of a Senator from say, you or me or regular humans.

Duckworth is putting a face to whoever opposes a wildly popular issue, IVF treatment. It causes people to think about the issue, because legislators are in fact advocators (you know, in complete contrast to Vance trying to hide what he advocates for). There’s nothing performative about it.

in my opinion, it is the standard democrat cynicism. it is simply something that in the future can be used as a bullet point for her future candidacy. without context, one could write ‘honestly’ she “fought” for IVF.

For Duckworth and for many people, IVF is a opportunity that is basically magic. It changes their lives and it gives them the opportunity to have children. There are few things more powerful than that, and it’s tone deaf to an extreme degree to think that something is performative just because it isn’t targeted at you.

I mean, usually I’d say you’re being a petulant childish asshole, but I’m trying to be better too.

It’s ok if everything isn’t important to you, champ. It can be important to others and we can support that. There will be Republican supporters of IVF that wanna know too.

Engineering is the usual path into SCADA, but most firms require specialists and networking is certainly a needed specialty.

If we’re casting around looking for good advice from relevant people, James Carville would be way down that list.

Who is attacking Haley? Can see a case for everyone.

I know this story has been written a thousand times now so people are looking for a new spin, but this isn’t it. Politicians being immune to donor demands is, objectively, a good thing.

I mean don’t get me wrong Biden is wrong on the whole fuckin thing, but the framing here isn’t great.

I’m not trying to convince. I’m trying to say use less words.

coughs between drags

yea prolly. fuck that.

Your entire comment can be boiled down to “I don’t find this “tenable” and the issue isn’t important to me relative to other issues”.

That’s fine. You can think that. Just go the brevity route next time. It respects the reader more than a wall of text.

That’s a really easy conclusion to come to when you weren’t the one being targeted.

And that’s a lot of words to say this isn’t your issue so you aren’t doing anything about it. Nobody needs the hand wringing. You can just say it.

He can still think it sucks though and nothing you said changes that.

Hey guys remember when Brave packed in a crypto miner with their software and didn’t tell their users?

Man that was cool

No, they’re just suggesting it so that if (when) a justice sides with him, they can say that’s why. Nobody, not even the lawyers making the argument, believe that being acquitted during impeachment proceedings magically erases criminal liability.

When you’re suffering from imposter syndrome or you’re wondering if you can challenge yourself to do stuff at the highest levels, remember that John Roberts is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

He’s the “smart” conservative and he’s dumber than a box of shit.

Good post. Thanks for doing that.
