Ethics like the leaking of court opinion in the dobbs case or the targeted illegal protest of Supreme Court justices along with an assassination attempt?

It’s weird to see you guys up in arms about a friendship with folks who share the same values where there isn’t a crime involved nor did the investigated report ever find any evidence of influence.

Silence on actual crimes but pearl clutching about this where it seems to be another attempt to smear Thomas.

Literally the one with the problem. The other person could care less what he does. The anger that festers in the hard right is so strange to me. Are they afraid of life/death? Are they just super unhappy with their own lives? Bored as fuck? Some total deep rooted panic inside their tiny brains that comes out in anger and violence because they cannot cope.
All they do is go from entity to entity and harass them until the puppet masters lead them to their next target audience based solely on greed and power. The puppet masters could really care less about the targets. They just help them complete their lies, by hiding behind christianity, conservatism, and patriotism to make it all morally acceptable on some level. Ironically they are the three things they embody least. Ultimately the puppet masters can control even more of our lives for their own selfish reasons, and the pawns/sheep/droids wonder why they are so up against it. They are literally fighting a battle against themselves. It is cosmic hilarity.

Are you still trying to make some weird point that the transgender community is the dangerous one, or all transgender people are terrorists? Lol.

Are you still forgetting that you can only bully (like you do constantly on this board in every thread) some groups before some will lose their shit and cross a line. Lash out?

You talk about the media ignoring it but you are the king of pointing out every lgbtq, or liberal, or muslim, or minority that commits a crime while remaining silent about the large majority of them that in this country are committed by hard right lunatics. The ones whose crimes aren’t born out of being pushed too hard for too long, marginalized, discriminated against, made to feel inferior…. but just pure hate.

No crime is excusable, but your hypocrisy isn’t either.

What happened to that SCOTUS investigation of the leaker? You seem thoroughly convinced it had to be some liberal - we are on the same page here. I'd love to know who leaked it.

“But it seems clear that the Court’s rules at the time all of this happened did not require that gifts of personal hospitality be disclosed. This includes the private plane trips.

Chico still going with the radical left as a champion of the ultra maga radical right. Only read a couple of the best lines from this comedy classic. Sorry. Super busy. Tomorrow is Easter. The day when flags get raised that say he has risen ….. with a picture of Trump standing on top of a tank or something.


“All the extremist-related murders in 2022 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds, who typically commit most such killings each year but only occasionally are responsible for all (the last time this occurred was 2012). Left-wing extremists engage in violence ranging from assaults to fire-bombings and arsons, but since the late 1980s have not often targeted people with deadly violence. The same cannot be said for domestic Islamist extremists, but deadly incidents linked to Islamist extremism have decreased significantly in the U.S. over the past five years. “

You won’t find any credible studies that say anything different. The extreme right is by far the most violent.

“Over the past decade, right-wing extremists have committed the majority of extremist-related killings in all years but one—2016, the year of the shooting spree at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, by a person motivated by Islamist extremism. Of the 444 people killed at the hands of extremists over the past 10 years, 335 (or 75%) were killed by right-wing extremists.4”

I just read that article and IMO I think it clears him of a "Nazi" fetish as that seems to be just a portion of an extensive collection that ranges from the extreme left to the extreme right. Heck he has statues of Churchill and Thatcher who he claims are his hero's. Nothing indicates the latter is not the truth and if Churchill is his hero that is a big indicator that he is not sympathetic to Nazis. I hate when people seize on bits and pieces about anyone (left or right - my co-worker does it all the time about Biden) to paint a disingenuous picture.

The conservatives are talking about disingenuous pictures. Was it disingenuous when SCOTUS tossed 50 years of precedent in the shitter and took abortion rights away from women and gave it to the states? Was it disingenuous when a radical SCOTUS judge tried to hide his wealthy friends paying for plenty of his vacations for the last 20 years?

I love John Stewart. Honestly think he should be in Office. Watched the whole clip . I all so want to say I have two daughters who are married to Military men and have been living the a Military family lifestyle for a long time. Stewart makes very good points BUT so did she. Stewart tried to tie up audits and taking care of your personnel and she was right it's two different things. I work for the Maryland State Government and auditors and the budget writers are two different factions. Auditors are concerned with where is it and do you have and can account for all you are suppose to have.

Taking care of the Military personnel and their families is a whole separate issue. Deciding where that 850 billion goes is not up to the auditors but to budget committees(not sure what they are really called). No argument from me that more needs to be done but John was wrong saying the can't show them where the money went in an audit. I thought she was pretty prepared for him. To add this has been an issue for decades not just under Biden but my kids have lived through this with trump, Obama and Bush and they all failed!

There is an easy answer to this. It is cities in general not just capitol cities. It involves land claims from centuries ago. It involves segregation. It is why all the rural areas vote mostly right.

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
 

We need WAY more interviews like this across the spectrum. Huge fan of asking legitimate tough questions to government officials and making them actually answer. So many interviews are just cute little toss-ups to whoever is being interviewed, even if organized around "tough questions". Most times a tough question gets asked, and then whoever answers just goes on some tangent w/o actually answering the question, then they just move on. I hope Stewart keeps doing interviews like these, for government officials on both sides.
