There was also a separate full vote. Every single Republican present voted against it.

What exactly do you expect them to do? They’re impotent because we didn’t give them any power.

You can be friends with someone and recognize they’d be terrible to live with.

He’s good as a comedian who criticizes politics, which, to be fair to him, is all he seems to want to be.

I said the guy is milquetoast and refuses to take real stances on much of anything and the rebuttal is to say he once stood for an incredibly safe and uncontroversial thing, which does not disprove my point.

To be a politician, you have to actually stand for something and come up with a platform of policies you’d enact at the risk of alienating people. Every time people ask him what he would do on a topic he’s criticizing, he always dodges the question. He’s a political coward that has far more in common with Chuck Schumer than any of you people downvoting me want to admit.

I’ve been watching the man for 25 years and I’m able to separate the fact that he’s an enjoyable clown pandering to an audience from his actual politics.

Ah yes, one of the most milquetoast stances possible. What’s next? Is he going to take a brave stance like childhood cancer is bad and raising children is good?

Maybe he’ll hold another Rally to Restore Sanity, telling the left they’re just as bad as the right and that they need to compromise with Republicans more and be nicer to bigots.

Stewart is a milquetoast both-sides-er. He can criticize and he’s good at it, but he stands for very little and instantly retreats behind his “I’m just a comedian” shield when pressed to take a stance.

The hand would have an ace pop out of the sleeve. I think the robot did something too.

And all the senior management that believed their horseshit.

The Republicans wrecked the world economy in 2008, destroying half the wealth in the world, and were only out of power for 2 years. No matter how bad it is, there is nothing that can pierce the reality distortion field generated by the right wing propaganda machine.

Because enforcing that is basically impossible.

The difference in non-voters between 2020 and 2024 was enough to swing the election.

Huh, I had no idea Biden was Prime Minister of Israel. I’d always heard it was that Netanyahu guy.

People keeping old ass industrial equipment alive. I had to buy some CD-Rs recently because it was the only way to get files on or off an ancient Win95 machine that had no network or USB ports. The machinery it interacts with costs a million dollars, so replacing it is no small thing.

Might be a regional thing, but in the US you only hear snuck unless the person is trying to be cutesy, like pretending to be a cat.

Yeah, but people will look at you weird if you use sneaked in serious contexts.

They’re a news program. What exactly are you expecting them to do instead?

No, but .ml does have a bunch of tankies who defend Russia or try to distract and muddy the water every time Russia does something abhorrent.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all the party members who aren’t loyal to him get charged with corruption and thrown in prison. All modern dictators put up a charade of legitimacy. Even North Korea pretends to have elections.
