Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 405: Pride Month Comes Before the Fall

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well I got blocked by someone I dont actually disagree with over a topic we dont actually disagree on. Not really worth it. Especially upsetting as a trans (genderfluid but w/e) British person to have to put up with all the crap thats going on in my home country then have people on the internet yell at me about it. Pretty upset actually.

Labour is absolutely riddled with outspoken transphobic bigots like Rosie Duffield who is completely drowning in nothing but flagrant anti-trans rhetoric and pushing the likes of party leader Kier Starmer who publicly argued for forcibly outing LGBT youths to abusive parents and has piled on to the beyond f***ing ridiculous cat identity hoax.

Now I'm willing to bet one of two things happened: #1. The parent made the story up. Probably at the urging of people like Matt Walsh OR #2. The supervisor made the story up at the urging of people like Matt Walsh

I thought Dems had both chambers (and with good majorities) during Obama's first two years.

Democrats have controlled congress for literally none of that timeframe

Yeah and that's when they passed a minimum wage increase.

but to answer the question of does it make it less funny? yeah it kinda does, because the reduction of the federal government to just looking at who is the president and acting like they're a king who is the sole decider of what does and doesn't get done during their term is part of the civic education rot that has allowed an obstructionist congress to get away with its bullshit for decades now

The US government is just inherently designed that way. It's a lot to expect voters to follow two legislative bodies (one of which takes more than half a decade for a full election cycle) plus a separately elected executive. There's too many places for things to be blocked and no easy way to know who should be blamed.

Given how difficult it is to get things through, would the move not be to, the next time you had the trifecta, set it that the minimum wage increases each year? Which stops you from going 14 years with a static minimum wage. Of course single bigger increases are still useful.

So that's where Fox has always been.

No age limits, no term limits

We already have age limits

No age limits, no term limits

Lack of education plays into a lot of people voting R anyways. Theyre so brainwashed you can catch them contradicting their own words countless times and theyll still support the party anyways because they want their faces eaten

The revised indictment said that in late June of last year, shortly after the government demanded the surveillance footage as part of its inquiry, Mr. Trump called Mr. De Oliveira and they spoke for 24 minutes.

Two days later, the indictment said, Mr. Nauta and Mr. De Oliveira "went to the security guard booth where surveillance video is displayed on monitors, walked with a flashlight through the tunnel where the storage room was located, and observed and pointed out surveillance cameras."

A few days after that, Mr. De Oliveira went to see Mr. Taveras, who is identified in the indictment as Trump Employee 4, and took him to a small room known as an "audio closet." There, the indictment said, the two men had a conversation that was meant to "remain between the two of them."

It was then that Mr. De Oliveira told Mr. Taveras that "'the boss' wanted the server deleted," the indictment said, referring to the computer server holding the security footage.

Mr. Taveras objected and said he did not know how to delete the server and did not think he had the right to do so, the indictment said. At that point, the indictment said, Mr. De Oliveira insisted again that "the boss" wanted the server deleted, asking, "What are we going to do?"

today the average Congressman is roughly 1.5x as old as the average U.S. citizen. Again, the ratio is much smaller than it was in the early 1900s, when the average Congressman was anywhere from 2 to 2.5 times as old as the average citizen. If that same ratio held true today, the average Senator would be 93 years old! The actual Senatorial average of 63 is downright sprightly by comparison.
