On the bright side, definitely better that the Bo Bergdahl swap.

The Bezos-owned media are far too busy criticizing Shark Week for portraying white men as "experts" to be concerned about an international criminal conspiracy involving white men.

if you continue to caucus with the party you left, what's the difference?

She has actually pushed back against Schumer on a couple of issues. While I don't agree with many of her positions, she has been better for AZ than that POS Mark Kelly. I'm not optimistic, but maybe this will encourage other Dems that want to take a more moderate stance...? Like I said, I'm not optimistic.

Part of the hive or conservative.




Bari not hive mind. Bari now conservative.

It's that funny, tender Liberal trend where they cannot possibly function with alternate pieces of information (that come from outside MSM) or alternate viewpoints (from people that believe we are Free) so they call it misinformation and work to shut you down, shadow ban, regular ban, or censor because you "violated community standards". But the primary issue is that a person, even delicate Liberals with their pure emotion talking points, benefit from being exposed to alternate information and viewpoints, because without them, they cannot claim having an informed opinion.

You know someone has had the urge to or has stuck their dick in that thing.

I'd be willing to bet it was "adapted for medical use", rather than "designed for".

WPs slogan is and always has been the biggest blatant shadow projection, hiding in plain site, there ever could be.

I would have assumed that you'd be in favor of reducing the power of the proletariat in electing the members of the government.

I mean, that's how it used to be back in the good ole' days, when only white male landowners could vote, and women & negroes knew their place. A time when gender was fixed and binary, homosexuality was a criminal offense, and the only safe space was the one between a person's ears.

Oh, I completely agree. I was just trying to appeal to Brainey's nostalgic side sense of anemoia.

Is it technically nostalgia if it occurred prior to your birth? What's the correct term for pining through rose-tinted glasses for a bygone era which one never personally experienced?
