It doesn't matter if it's false or not - it's not like the Jan 6th committee is going to call out any lie that demeans Trump with that roster, is it?

This is a purely partisan show trial. Jan 6th was the DNC's Reichstag fire, with the added benefit of not even needing to burn anything down.

Because Geico's insurance was for any harm suffered while in the car (where she caught HPV off the guy), and that is what they charged the guy for

The fundamental problem is that Geico didn't think about the terms of the insurance they were offering, seems like.

... so, just to clarify, the main difference between the FBI and the East German Stasi is that the FBI has better funding?

. you are not trying to give representation to black people you are just trying to piss off white people from your virtue signaling high horse

Pretty much. This, it seems, is a big bunch of media companies trying to tell white straight guys that their role in the future of the country is done.

I suspect that they would be even more explicit if they weren't worried about getting sued by somebody.

Simply proving that, given a choice between removing your right to defend yourself and their preferred racial hierarchy, there is no group the left is unwilling to throw under the bus. They can always re-introduce their preferred caste system after they've conquered your country.

Also indicative, perhaps, of how much of a problem racism actually is for people like Salon, if they're happy to drop it for a solid strategic goal like removing or gutting your second amendment.

Honestly, it's not easy to keep resetting your expectations of just how terrible lefties can be.

I recall a quote:

If you want to find out what a man is to the bottom, give him power. Any man can stand adversity — only a great man can stand prosperity.

By that metric, the left has failed abysmally. They don't even have a great deal of power and they can think of nothing better than to abuse what they have in an attempt into parlaying into yet more power to abuse.

They don't. They value their freedom of expression.

I can only repeat what I've said elsewhere:

... I don't put this much effort into my own sexuality. Why on earth am I supposed to care so much about yours?

On that note, look at the current behaviour of the Democrats.

They're desperate - more so than usual - to disarm the populace; they're committed to entrenching a fusion of state and corporate power in the media, at least, and they're actively working towards reducing everybody outside the wealthiest classes to poverty and dependence upon the state - the Biden administration isn't even trying to hide the inflation any more, instead saying it'll perform some transformative magic on the US economy.

What does that tell you about the intentions of the Democrats?

The Democrats have seen the future, and it seems to look rather like Soviet Russia of the 1930s...

Most importantly for these types, I suspect, the suburban house is yours, so you get to make decisions about selling a chunk of it off for a new house to be built.

If it's all apartments, owned by the state (or corporation), these budding authoritarians have already seen the possibilities to install as many soon-to-be-crack-dens (because nothing says "liberal city" like rampant crime and drug problems) as they want without you having any possibility of interfering.

Well, strictly, fascism is the state and corporate entities operating hand in hand to achieve hegemonic control over society.

Can you point out where that isn't happening right now?

More accurate to say that they don't care, and are relying on their friends in the media to tell everybody you're racist if you notice their terrible worldbuilding.

Still, it begs the question of "how?" It's not like schools will want or be able to force unwilling kids to actually learn things.

Oh, that's very, very simple. If you cannot drag the bottom end up, you force the top end down.

I don't know how we can have any sort of peace or understanding with these robots.

You can't, when your fundamental premise is that your stuff is yours - the actual liberal position - and their fundamental premise is that your stuff is theirs.

Seductive, though - as it's designed to be.

Much, much easier on the ego to construct some vast network of oppression keeping you down rather than accepting that your failure was because you were fucking about at school, isn't it?

The downside of the powers this one would wield - unaccountable barriers to entry to the job market on the basis of politics - is that if she becomes politically toxic enough, she may be subject to the exact penalties she advocates for others.

I'm guessing it's a play to ramp up the paranoia so that they can go big on postal voting.

Because that has never, in the history of elections anywhere, resulted in problems.
