It doesn't necessarily have to, but then you have someone like Trisha Cotham in NC who switched parties to give the GOP a veto-proof majority and has been voting with them in lockstep ever since.

If they weren't planning on acting as Republicans they could just as easily become independents.

"Person we hired to say things says the thing" more at 11.

Really irresponsible reporting, to be honest.

The goal isn't to create successful states, it's to create politically safe states. Doesn't matter if the state crumbles as long as that crumble is red.

Not just US interests, but European and Ukrainian interests as well. There was a multi-national effort to remove Shokin. You think Joe Biden orchestrated all of that to get his son a cushy board membership? It's laughable.

I get incredibly anxious about her finding incriminating things that I didn’t do and I know don’t actually exist, but what if they do somehow?

This is the fruits of the GOP strategy that’s been going on for decades to strengthen their support through Christian believers. The Pope is just recognizing the impact of that from the religious side, whereas Barry Goldwater warned of it’s impact from the political side.

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them.

It certainly is a terrible damn problem, and we’re knee deep in the shit right now.

Probably exactly what has been reported. Putin waited for things to settle, weakened Wagner troops by taking their weapons and splitting their numbers, then they killed leadership. Occam’s razor certainly points to this.

But, of course, the way it was done certainly leaves the door open for conspiracies.

When there’s domestic problems that you haven’t even offered a solution for, point outward.

Would have thought it crossed his path when he was calling for the death penalty for the Central Park 5.

Easy to say when you won’t be the one fighting it.

A viral tweet stated that we are not a Democracy, we’re a Republic, and Republicans collectively nodded their heads in agreement.

Aside from that, I think many Americans don’t believe American democracy is currently working in their favor, leading to apathy or outright hostility towards democracy itself.

The issue of climate change is routinely one of the most important issues for young people, so perhaps she played a role in that.

The question itself is pretty useless because how could we possibly quantify a single activist’s contribution to a global issue?

Memorization is a skill humans are generally really, really good at. If you put in enough time, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to regurgitate what you put in, both in words and actions. That’s enough to get you through most schooling. When you step outside of memorization is when people like this run into trouble.

If there’s one thing to take to heart from Joe Rogan, I think it’s this quote of his:

I’m not a doctor, I’m a fucking moron
