President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Only the best lawyers …

 

"Chesebro." That's just lazy writing for this season. Like George Lucas naming the heavy-set pilot Porkins in Star Wars.

 

Rushing yards > millions of additional Americans receiving health care via insurance.
SEC Values.

 

For all the psy-ops used to suck people into a cultic group, experts say it takes just as much savvy and precision to help them out. Pat Ryan, another former cult member-turned-deprogrammer or exit counselor, says when a family hires him to meet with a loved one, his first step is to do a kind of intervention on the family. He implores them to change their tone, to be less adversarial or less mocking. It's not only because that's counterproductive, Ryan says, but also, if he gets the family to back off a bit, he scores instant points with the loved one he's ultimately trying to reach.

 

True as that is in the longer term, I think the immediacy of an existential threat from the cult or the cult member also has to be a consideration.

You're not going to deprogram Patricia Krenwinkel when she's standing there with a knife to your throat.

Nor are you going to deprogram MAGA thinkers like this on election eve:

Republican says party ‘will never lose another election’ in Wisconsin if he wins

 

Also a good month for the other party I was brainwashed not to see as racists back when I was an acolyte in the Church of Alma’s Comfort.

Israel elections: Netanyahu election win propels far right to power

 

You don’t. They’re write-offs.

 

What a (soon-to-be-reelected pr*ck)

 

If he knows there's a legal requirement that must be met, fucking prosecute him for those first flights.

 

If Democrats were playing by Republican rules, they would be blanketing the airwaves with calls for Thomas to resign. But Democrats don't have the balls. And never will.

 

I feel like Trump and the Redcoms are one and the same. And now DOJ is going after Dan Snyder. Next Wednesday morning should be interesting. Or maybe Lucy will take away the football again. Who knows.

 

Merrick had 20 months. And he had 1 job. And he failed.
