Don't think I saw this mentioned but if you want to feel rage then...

https://twitter.com/garyrosenWSJ/status/1327297893926055937

In an interview Charles Koch concedes that his GOP partisanship and activism badly deepened America's divides. Or, in his own words, "Boy, did we screw up! What a mess!"

Literally trying to go "whoops" on decades of this shit.

(Also, despite this "revelation" he, of course, donated over 12-to-1 for Republicans in 2020 and is right now dumping money into Perdue's runoff.)

There was reporting a few months back about how Minneapolis's reforms were caught up in red tape and planning stages. Not too surprising but clearly the council is split on the issue

and so it ends where it began - the WH lying about crowd sizes in DC: https://twitter.com/ddale8/status/1327668601827037184

Dale doesn't have an official number but reporting characterizes it as anywhere from hundreds (NYT) to thousands (WaPo.) WaPo reports the "million" number exaggerates it by around a factor of 200 so... 5,000 people lol?

On a different note, there are over a million Trump supporters in DC right now. No burned down buildings, no riots, no attacks on police.

Hmm

Give it time. They all think Trump is still going to win an election that is over.

Also haven't checked the footage but I'm guessing it's a safe bet that there are next to no masks. So yeah, that alone will result in actual deaths.

From what I understand, the Dems are back to their 3.4 Trillion Dollar plan and Pelosi is touting new leverage in the negotiations with Biden having won. Republicans are at 500 billion and stating that the house should understand they lost seats in the election and didn't take the Senate because voters disagree with the direction of Pelosi.

So, lol... yeah.

Pelosi also pushed a relief package that the GOP ignored because ultimately, Republicans DO NOT WANT TO PASS IT. Say what you will about the Democrats, but at least pushing for too big of an amount is because they want to get the best for the American people possible. The GOP wants to lowball things as much as possible so that the amount is actively offensive to anyone with basic human decency, and they eventually get what they want, which is no relief bill at all.

Imagine a world where Trump actually blackmails the Republicans by saying that if they dont support the biggest stimulus ever, hes going to endorse both Democrats in the Georgia runoffs so they could pass one with a Democrat majority in the senate. Wouldnt that be something.

also right now this thing is still in doubt for them, theyre not going to do anything crazy while Trump is still president and potentially still will be

when this thing gets officially officially called for Biden / when hes inaugurated is when I would be concerned some of these people could get dangerous

Lmfao nope, they just create conservative safe spaces so they can keep living in their alternate reality where Trump won.

Once again Parler has been talked about by like every conservative on my Facebook feed so I don't buy it.


Theres definitely been a large influx of people to Parler and some of them are claiming to be done with Twitter. My fake Dan Bongino account that I made back in June or something has like quadrupled its follower count since the election.

it appears to be basically 99.9% aggrieved conservatives who are using the app, and then .1% people like me who just want to gawk at the other 99.9%.

also its objectively not a good app compared to the the more established social media. Ive received misdirected criticisms of the app from some users who complain about the lack of a group DM function and the limited ability to share links or DM people if you dont go through their identity verification process.

From what ive seen it seems to be exclusively the absolute worst conservatives who use it. One of those app complaint messages I got seemed very reasonable and intelligently written. I checked the guys timeline and immediately first thing I saw was one of those memes about Michelle Obama being trans. Bummed me out. Its a vile place.

Well, yes. Basically all alternative social media at this point falls under one of two niches. Either the privacy-conscious who are concerned about data collection and corporate control, or something like this that's very loosely (if at all) moderated and therefore attractive to people with hideously vile views and opinions who hide behind "free speech" when called out on or banned because of them.

While this is great news and I think the correct decision, it highlights the potential problems Biden could face if McConnell obstructs him from appointing cabinet members.

As mentioned, by law you can't just name anyone the acting director. By the law's stipulations if the GOP decided to stonewall basic appointments like this, his only real option would be to find solid career civil servants who have stuck with the departments in question throughout this nightmare. While I'm sure they exist it is far, far from ideal.

Well, yes. That is the optimal outcome.

Though as much as I want to believe in GA - and I did believe in them for the presidential election! - my pessimism in Dem turnout in non-Presidential elections is very strong.

Admittedly this is a weird one because this situation is just unprecedented with Trump sowing distrust in elections themselves but idk a constant Democratic problem has been getting people to show up when it's not November in a presidential year.

prove me wrong, georgia. please.
