Re: The Board Members You Miss Thread

Re: Trump/Republican Coup Thread

Trump’s conspiracy theories claiming that the 2020 election was rigged, which led to an insurrection and riot at the Capitol building that left five people dead , was not an impeachable offence. There, fixed it for you. Idiots. Could Trumps lack of actual defense just be taken as a "guilty&quo...

Um, because this already happened? We had 8 years of Republicans doing their obstruction in public during the Obama presidency. What makes this time any different?
Noticeably more seething rage among the general public.

You know, the fact that you rather be snarky, rather than acknowledge the once in a lifetime chance we actually had to actually improve the state of American and world politics as whole, just shows you're just a piece of shit.

Depends on the clearance but yes. But security reviews don't happen often enough and people change over time. Someone who pegged as reliable in 2018 can be utterly nutty in in 2020 and the manpower to keep track of that is not small.

Re: Biden declines to cancel all student debt, supports only minor loan relief

That's not entirely true... There's also the option of joining the military and risking life, limb, mental health, and your morals. That's honestly probably a factor in why there's so little federal interest in making school more affordable. Suddenly it would be a lot to recruit people to join the ...

If he really does have it, so much for any campaigning -though he could get a lot of sympathy votes.

I'm not sure there's a way to ban these statements without it being overly broad. The moment you police speech in this manner is the moment you allow the current prevailing social currents to dictate thought. Furthermore, penalty for life is absurd, for any situation. It basically tells people "...
