Pretty sure that’s literally one of Eco’s 14 characteristics of fascism. Publicly accusing the opposition of doing the exact (awful) thing they’re doing.

Don’t be so pessimistic! It really adds up if you do it enough!
Plus, the cushy job after leaving office is the real prize. Why don’t you just go ask John Boehner? Motherfucker spent a several decade career demonizing cannabis, blocking its decriminalization and putting hundreds of thousands of people in prison for it. He was the third second(? do you count the president?) person in line of presidential succession for at least a decade (think about that). Now he works at a pro-cannabis legalization lobby group (at least as of the last time I looked. Not going to google that piece of shit right now).
Republicans have no morals or ethics. They have no values to stand by.
The fact that they concede that they can’t stop themselves from raping and murdering folks without some kind of threat of cosmic torture is a pretty big self-report.
What a strange comment.
I just can’t imagine what type of person spends their entire lives studying law and justice, applying the Constitution to real life cases, etc., and is then able to just throw that all away for a few boat trips and a vacation or two…
Like there has to be malice here, not just incompetence. Thomas and Alito, at the very least, are purposely setting alight the Constitution they have dedicated their lives to and swore to uphold out of some form of anger or vengeance. It’s the only explanation.
They know exactly what they are doing, probably better than anyone else on the planet given their credentials. And for what?
It’s sickening.
What the actual fuck. This country is a joke. I’m shocked we lasted this long to be honest.
And got a fucking polonium pin prick for it… While in London.
Unless we’re talking about different people.
You still seem confused about who you’re replying to, because while I don’t remember what this discussion was about, I can tell you for sure that I never accused you of being a bot.
Hey, good thing our Supreme Court just ruled that people like her (and ultimately, them) will be the ones deciding ALL OF OUR REGULATIONS.
And stupid fucks like Boebert are actually desirable in that situation. Moreso than the more clever folks that will just get corporate lobbiests to literally write the regulations themselves for an $18k “donation” to their “campaign,” and a promise of a job after they’re voted out in two years or whatever.
If Congress does not codify Chevron deference before Trump (or any other conservative) takes office, then kiss “the administrative state” goodbye. And if you think you’re ok with that, or have some clever retort about “bureaucracy bad,” then you’re gonna find out real quick…

Except when those “socialist” policies are actually explained to those people, then they support those policies. While continuing to vote directly against them.
The Mojave wasteland makes me wish for one…
Yeah ok, but as we’ve established in this thread, Blu Ray discs don’t cost $25 a piece. At any level. So.
How can I afford to buy Criterion Collection Blu-Rays for $14.99 if blu-ray discs cost $25?
Vote for his administration, not the man
Fascism is internally inconsistent by definition. It’s all just to cause discord and confusion.
Yeah turn their godlike cult figurehead into a martyr. Let’s see how that works out in the long run.
This thread is about AOC. You forgot which Democratic party figure you were supposed to be railing on in this thread.
I hope you understand that it will be reflected on your next performance review.
Do you understand how Congress functions? Do you think they’re fucking dukes and duchesses or some shit?
Don’t ask a question like that as you may be disturbed by the answer you get.
