rushmc 23 #376 October 11, 2018 tonyhaysQuoteThe left also just might want to put a hold on all of the laughing at the right wing claims of winning and winning. From their perches they definitely are winning. Tax cuts, regulations evaporated, science denied, religious interests strengthened, those pansy Europeans got a talking to, the Chinese got sent a bill and were put on notice, brown people are being dealt with, the LGBT community is under attack, the courts are being packed with right wing ideologues who will be there for decades to come, and, in spite of himself, Trump hasn't blown up the world. Fucking A they think they are winning, and winning is motivating. Let's face it, the Dem's retaking the House is hardly guaranteed and counting on it is dumb. And the right is going to continue to "win", regardless of whether the Dems take back the house. Expect Roe v Wade and marriage equality gone within two years.

kallend 2,099 #378 October 11, 2018 rushmc***FBI director Christopher Wray just testified that Kavanaugh's investigation was "limited in scope" due to "direction from the White House." Let's all imagine what would have happened if Obama had "limited the scope" of the investigation into Hillary Clinton, and insisted it had to conclude in a week. Right wingers would have been threatening to kill FBI agents. We already know that the investigation of Hillary was limited! Indeed - only 8 GOP led congressional committees investigated HRC, plus an EIGHT YEAR Whitewater investigation, + 4 year investigation by the IG of the State Department in which Obama did NOT limit its scope, and a 4 month FBI investigation. Clearly very hurried. By comparison, the Trump-limited investigation of Kavanaugh was leisurely and thorough.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Who is it that, just last week, wanted protesters to be 'taken care of'? Who is it that asked supporters to 'rough up' a protester and even offered to pay for an attorney? What group calls for the banning of books the most? Particularly science texts for schoolkids? I think that the reactionary right's problem with the 'censorship' of modern social media is that they are starting to crack down on the blatant lies and propaganda. Insisting on truth and accuracy isn't censorship.

SkyDekker 1,465 #388 October 12, 2018 Yes, protesters should be stopped. News is all fake, Qanon is real. Oral testimony is unreliable, but a book full of oral testimony is gospel. If one thing the last 2 years has made very clear is that republicans have absolutely no backbone or principles. Edited to add: next step is to dismantle the 17th Amendment and control State voting. Make it harder to register to vote, make it harder to stay registered to vote, close polling stations in areas not favourable to GOP etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've still got the code around here somewhere.

It doesn’t make you privy to a higher level of information. In fact anyone who’s been around skydiving for a while also knows a bunch of special operations folks.
