Great! Hope to see you out in the protests! Are you going out on Saturday? Should be one in your state capital if you can’t make it to DC.

That’s fair. I’d like to see a real progressive platform. A liberal bias would be too close to an MSNBC clone.

Of course you’re “both sides” on this. You do understand that the Secret Service oversaw the server, and that Trump’s DoJ investigated it?

Do you also know that the NSA explicitly advised against the use of Signal for any governmental purpose, citing recent exploits by Russian hackers? Hell, Gmail even states that it reads your emails during signup. Still, Republicans are refusing an investigation.

This is not a both sides argument anymore. Get off the soapbox. Ya done.

That’s true. I think I prefer it that way. If I could choose, I’d rather Fox and Truth Social didn’t exist over adding a left-wing loyalist media platform.

That it does. Check out the acoustic videos of him in the woods/grass before the concert stuff.

Booker is killing it! I’m so proud of him. I really hope this sparks some unity in the Senate.

Not sure how you feel about protest folk, but this dude Jesse Welles absolutely kills it.

Agreed. A piece of me died when they closed CBGB’s. It seems like the grunge apathy stuck around far too long too.

Pig manure makes for good fertilizer and compost material. I wouldn’t insult it with such a comparison.

Sounds like he should be pursuing Equifax then.🤔

Maybe that’s a good reason to stop providing classified intel to an unelected, unconfirmed official who has taken no oath to defend the Constitution of the United States.

They don’t need it with a $53B endowment. Any university with pockets that deep, that folds under this pressure, simply wanted an excuse to align.

I hope the defense leans into this, as well as the claims of guilt before trial, as evidence of bias. Would they be doing the same if a white person allegedly shot a migrant? Or a Christian allegedly shot a Muslim?

I’m with you there. I’ve been doing that since the 90s. Most of my friends are Gen-Xers. Wanna talk about a frustrating group to engage?🙄

Exactly why I make comments about accomplishments of Democrats. I point out their accomplishments because they don’t do it for themselves. I only like them more than Republicans. There’s plenty to criticize, but that’s taken care of by the masses.

Sure, idealism is great, but none of that will happen by November 2026. I’m suggesting we use the system that is already available to us before condemning its efficacy. Why is that sentiment worthy of contest?

I agree with both age and term limits. My comment was meant to illustrate the hypocrisy in people complaining about the lack of efficacy of a system that they don’t even use.

It would have resulted in a mass termination of non-essential government workers that they would’ve blamed squarely on the Democrats. There was no clean way out of it.

This is a well thought out writeup on the consequences of the shutdown:

We directly elect Congress. My point was poor primary turnout results in more of the same. Your argument is pointless criticism. Throw your hands up in disgust somewhere else.

They should have. Dissent made them look weak. I’m just saying it wasn’t a simple choice to give up leverage that people seem to think it was.
