I think secretly funding the equipping of would-be rioters is pretty important. If there's a crime here, they would likely be implicated.

Does it get tiring being an internet Karen?

And how many "suspicious" people do you report to your local officials a week? Bet they recognize your number the minute you call in and roll their eyes while mumbling "not this Karen again."

Where is the outrage over the big new bill? I expected to see a lot of discussion about it here. Am I in the wrong thread? Or have we all just given up? I think I have. At this point the only way Republicans give up power is if they are forced to. Elections are stolen (read an article today about signs of fraudulent voting in PA last election) or we won’t even have them or shrimp dock will get 99% of the vote like Putin. America is dead.

My outrage ended in the late '90s or early 2000s when it became clear that neither Republicans or Democrats cared about being fiscally responsible.

The last president to actually show concern about fiscal responsibility was Bill Clinton.

Thanks I must have ignored that thread by accident so I wasn’t seeing it anywhere.

First, you have to be pretty old to break out that chestnut (Joe did so once and subsequently apologized)… oh, wait, first is the Shakespearean antisemitic slur

Honestly I had no idea that our president was such a bitch.

Trump doesn't know Shylock from Shinola.

That line is from one of the anti-Semitic Project2025 implants in his administration.

Disagree. Trump’s dad was a huge antisemite, as is Trump himself. He’s undoubtedly heard and used that phrase hundreds/thousands of times.

Trump was an equal opportunity bigot. He and his Dad were sued for blocking African-Americans from buying or renting their property.

Stevie Wonder even wrote a song about it.
