Different set of standards, sure, but can be equally intolerant and equally fantastic. You are more than welcome to. Most of the jobs I've worked at had people of mixed political ideologies. In all cases, I found the left leaning individuals more grounded, realistic, and reasonable than the right leaning ones. This is of course merely anecdotal, but it has generally been my experience.

Of course that's not the purpose of this act at all. It's all political posturing to throw meat to the "Let's Go Brandon!" mob. They won't find any definitive evidence either for or against linking COVID-19's origins to China without the cooperation of the Chinese government, which they know they'll never get.

Loyalty to Trump matters more than actually being a Conservative, I guess. Wyoming GOP votes to no longer recognize Rep. Liz Cheney as a Republican This may be the first step in the end of the Republican party. If Liz starts a new conservative party around classic conservative principles that is....

I'm hoping this will force the parties in (current power) to concede that they will probably be extinguished, and be forced to implement voting reform (like ranked choice) as a means of dodging/delaying the inevitable, establishing third party legitimacy because it will be the only way they remain relevant themselves...

One can hope for it, but we have to see more pushback against Trumpism before I'll believe it has any real chance. Perhaps I've missed them? But I want to see more conservative denunciations of Cruz, of Hawley, of Boebert, of Greene. Instead, we get Cheney excoriated by her House leaders and by her state party leaders. Oh. I should put that in quotes. "Leaders." My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted November 17, 2021 Report Share Posted November 17, 2021 I find it odd that a man who kissed Trump's butt so hard would even try to say anything like this.

At a Nascar event, apparently a large chunk of the crowd began to chant "F***K Joe Biden". A reporter there either thought they were actually praising the winner (Who was named Brandon) or tried to cover it up a bit for the censors. I suspect the former, at least at first. She claimed they were chanting "Let's Go, Brandon!" So some on the right felt it was a good way to mock the mainstream media AND say '@### Joe Biden' in code, and thus it caught on.

Well, taking a glass half full view of it, a guy who lives down the street from me had a "F*** Joe Biden!" flag and has changed it for a "Let's Go, Brandon!" flag, and I consider it a definite improvement. This is particularly true since the guy's house is across the street from the playground of a public park, and I don't think the parent's of the kids that played there appreciated having to explain to their children why that word that they aren't allowed to say was on a flag next to the president's name. Yep, some people are real classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
