A great idea. Then, when you have to spend four donalds for a carton of eggs you'll remember why voting for con-men is a bad idea.

I believe the traditional response to "the peasants have no eggs" would be, "let them eat cake!"

The interesting thing about Lemmy being an echo chamber is that I feel like it is the 4th or 5th echo chamber I've been accused of being in.

It's starting to seem like voter suppression and propaganda were the real problems after all and not people like us being "in an echo chamber."

Gym wouldn't recognize free speech even if it raped his high school students.

She's older than the antivax craze, sadly. So her parents likely screwed us all over by being responsible.

I see Elon brought his body armor.

Based on the sample, this seems like a disingenuous poll.

• We always deported felons. Yet, P01135809's deportation rate is actually lower than Biden's.

• We always fought to eliminate fraud and waste. The GOP has invited felons convicted of fraud into the government.

• The border isn't closed and hasn't been.

If you're asking these sorts of questions it feels more like push polling propaganda than an honest assessment of feelings.

Politico’s Lisa Kashinsky noted that Lau’s appointment was a sign that the party is “taking a stay-the-course approach to staffing despite the party’s losses in November.…

Politico is not an honest participant in any political conversation anymore. Lamenting that a Warren staffer from 2020 is a long-time insider only serves to rile up people who are already predisposed to "corporate Democrats" bullshit.

That was the "joke" from the first time around. The French version uses brioche which is just even more fancy bread.

Maybe a parallel would be "the peasants have no eggs!" -> "let them eat omelettes!"

Have you instructed your servant to search more thoroughly?

Yeah, it seems like there's one party actually holding greater than 60% of their bad actors accountable and another one rewarding bad behavior... But, sure, let's complain about how 60% is not enough instead of dealing with the reality we find ourselves in.

Since 1994. When Newt Gingrich first slithered onto the scene to start spreading lies and dumb bullshit. Prior to that it was just lies.

Yep. But there's also a cross section of ages spewing propaganda. I mean, RFK Jr is ancient. He should remember the time of bloodletting yet here we are.

And the misinformation campaign is oppressive. When my first born was at his 6 month (?) pediatrician appointment, the doctor started in on, "I'm required to inform you that vaccination is a personal and religious choice ..." I cut him off and said, "I believe in science" and I could see the immediate relief on his face. I don't know what he didn't have to say, but it surely wasn't good.

And who benefits from weakening the US military?

Canada.

Yes, we know. We even know the names of the spies: Gabbard, Musk, Trump, etc.

Just a joke, bro.

What little money USAID was allocated is going to be stolen or flushed down the crypto drain.

Having read the transcript, no, he does not. There's absolutely no reason beyond "both sides" bullshit to connect the two. Unlike Kirk, he didn't go on hateful tirades about groomers, drag shows, or pedophiles.

Having been disappointed by Newsom several times, what he did say in the podcast continues his disappointing trend and gives unacceptable levels of support to crazy conservative garbage thinking.

You can think Newsom said something terrible without taking the opportunity to make Kirk seem like he isn't a hateful extremist.

I agree with that.. sort of. They also need to do loud centrist events. Because rags like Politico will 100% run articles saying, "Democrats double down on leftist policies that cost them the 2024 election" without a moment of hesitation.

We know that the far right media gets its talking points from Russia. After watching their disingenuous takes and "anonymous insider" bullshit (e.g., Biden only running for one term was a Politico rumor) I'm convinced Politico is also intentionally sending misleading information into the public conversation.

I guess that's my point. If the poll is not based on anything other than bullshit, what's the point of giving it any consideration?

We may as well be discussing a poll on everyone's favorite Teletubby.
