Anyone who says “reach across the isle” in the primary is an automatic no. These people are not interested in governing. They are openly hostile.

We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.

^ Maybe we should prevent this sort of thing, no?

I vaguely remember a movie or show that was compiling something with cmake which has some pretty clean output.

Yes, I misread it.

Reading comprehension smh

She wasn’t facing me. I remember most of the room went quiet at first including her, but I don’t remember what happened after that. So I guess, shock?

Not me, but I witnessed it. ~7th grade 2 boys were playing a game between the rows of desks where they interlock the fingers of one of each of their hands. Then, they smack the back of their interlocked hands with their free hand until one of them quits and let’s go. The teacher was walking up and down the rows… apparently okay with this. I’m not sure of the exact sequence of events, but somehow, the planets aligned. One of them quit while the other was mid swing and he slapped the teacher’s ass. Hard. Hard enough that it made a loud clap. The look on that kid’s face… blushing red and turning pale at the same time.

A kid got hit on his bike in my community recently. I’m not sure of the outcome. What is the town doing about it? The local police are stopping kids and giving them fines for not wearing helmets…

Or logic

You’re right. I’m giving the clowns too much credit.

They got $50k sign on. They started with a years earnings. Wonder if the motivation for that is a situation exactly like this?

Holy non sequitur. That argument might make some sense if he was an engineer or something. You don’t need any education to be a podcaster. Just start yapping.

I’m sure conservatives could get involved in some subjects… I have yet to meet a conservative with a rudimentary understanding of statistics. Shit, I think that’s a requirement for being conservative.

I think they completely fucked up by going after the rioters. In my opinion, every one of them has an ironclad defense. Imagine for a second that, instead of living in a fox News fantasy world where up is down and the sky is orange, they just lived under a rock for 4 years and lean right:

The president they voted for told them the election was stolen. They’re just pions. He has access to intel that they do not. Who are they to question his claim? He’s the fuckin president! The left must be stealing the election!

In the fantasy where that is true, storming the capitol kind of is the correct move. They cut off the wrong end of the snake.

That was a movie reference to her doppelganger.

I’ve thought about this a lot since Luigi. The power of these alt reality movements is derived from their mouthpieces. Without their army of apologists, every ridiculous lie sounds as stupid as it is and always was.

Being a professional shill/propagandist for these people should be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, and I’m surprised that’s not the case. So, smart move on Ben. He should hang up the towel, and find a real job.

He likes that it takes 10x longer to read everything he writes.

Could turn facial recognition back on them…

Guess we’ll just have to stick to throwing sandwiches at them.

Yes. Someone more creative than me should make a funny Richard Stallman copy pasta out of this.
