Well, it's how left-wing movements burn out, anyway. The far-right has already succeeded in overrunning one of America's two major political parties, and that comes with a sort of permanent legitimacy akin to being in the UN Security Council. No matter how evil you are, you'll always have a seat...

If corporations are people, then it stands to reason that they deserve the death penalty when it's clear they have killed people on purpose.

It does make one wonder why there are so many Americans willing to loan so much money to their own government under such generous terms that it's never had to actually pay any of it back. They've always been able to do the equivalent of opening a new credit card account to get the debt...

I want to have a good laugh about this, but as long as it remains cheaper (and legal) to just import those from third-world countries that use slave labor, those deposits will probably stay right where they are.

And the credit card companies won't cut you off because of the implied threat that you'll come to their houses and murder them.

Generous indeed; the more and better reasons he has to not seek reelection, the more certain I am that he will anyway. Not that anyone else who has a chance of winning would be any less ineffectual as a leader.

Also it's direct-to-streaming, which probably means they're putting little to no effort into it.

I'll be shocked if it takes them that long. They probably had articles of impeachment written up and ready to go the minute they walked in the door this session, and the only thing stopping them from presenting them immediately was that they had to go through all the boring routine stuff like...

There's always someone to fire. Even if the person you think should be fired has made it impossible to fire them, in which case you find who the hell let that happen and fire that guy.

DX has been rereleased on so many platforms at this point, I'm pretty sure whatever data they'd need to bring the original to any modern platform without just running it in an emulator was lost a long time ago.

So he's copying Reddit. And DeviantArt. And probably a bunch of other sites I'm not zoomer enough to know about.

If the Republicans want to lash out at their former corporate overlords, I say let 'em. Either they'll learn the hard way how much power those people really have, or they'll succeed in toppling the oligarchy that's been keeping both parties from being much more than puppets of big business...

They might as well come pre-equipped with white flags. Luckily they're pretty easy to make.

At least it will be a very public jive show. The more explosive, the better. When we come to the 2024 elections and nothing has gotten done in two years, no one will be able to pretend they don't know why, and Republican voters will be as demoralized as the rest of us are literally every year of...

Honestly I wish one would. Just rip off the veil of civilization that these clowns have been slowly picking away at for the past couple decades.

Thing is, that used to be enough to motivate them to fall in lock-step behind whoever seemed to be the majority at the time, so as not to let their infighting keep them from getting a win. That's one big reason why they've always been so hard to beat: even if they can't agree on anything, they...

There's an old saying about the definition of insanity, but I never thought I'd see such a clear-cut case of it with my own eyes. Yeah, that's what blows my mind here. This is one of the least significant things the Republicans could possibly find to split over right now. Like if there were a...

And I'm sure he's grateful that the (weirdly obsessive) attention has been taken off him.

I don't think the President has that kind of authority; Congressional procedure is governed first by the Constitution, and then by rules enacted by Congress themselves. Even the Supreme Court could only weigh in if it's in question whether those rules are constitutional or not.

So what are they even doing? Are they just immediately holding the vote over and over again with nothing changed? Because that's... that's not how run-offs work.
