True. Chicago’s problems are even worse and there’s less visibility.

It will be interesting to see how Biden approaches the Middle East, if he seeks to expand the nations normalizing relations with Israel.

@jon-nyc said in Traveling to the inauguration?: @loki If you were at the march but didn't breech the capitol I doubt you have anything to worry about. I mean, assuming you weren't assaulting cops or whatever. Off duty police from across the country who attended the rally are being outed and their social media posts not just of the rally exposed. Just saw that this morning. I think buzzfeed.

@george-k said in "Kitbag": all the while he was waging a romantic war with his adulterous wife Josephine. He conquered the world to try to win her love Oh, FFS.

@doctor-phibes said in Video of Magat vermin beating cops: treasonous traitor Redundantly redundant.

This thread is womentally draining.

Heh, the warmth is a big part of what I like in a whiskey. It’s the biggest reason why I prefer Monongahela Rye and Dad’s Hat in particular. The heat doesn’t go away on the second or even third sips.

@jolly said in Trump in a few months: @mik said in Trump in a few months: @loki said in Trump in a few months: No clue. I can see both sides of this. Anyone who thinks they know is kidding themselves. Yep. It's all up to him. If he wants to stay in the public eye he knows how. Oh, he's coming, unless he gets a helluva deal. Trump has an entire movement (conservative populism) behind him. My prediction is that Trump is going to go the same way that Bruce Jenner went. He's already dying his hair and spraying his face like a Hollywood housewife. Rumour has it he sprays Chanel No. 5. on what's left of his knob. Remember, folks, you heard it here first.

Sid: "So you think you're pretty special with your claws, eh Boris? Take a look at these claws, whydon'cha. Yeah, and I can fly, too. You got nuthin' on me, kitty."

Wrongthink. Don't worry, AOC will fix this so it doesn't happen again.

The precedent is as terrible as the situation.

@jolly wow. That sounds tempting!

@lufins-dad said in What the hell were they thinking?: I'm also willing to bet that the guys that walked off with this stuff weren't running around wearing flag paraphernalia and Don't Tread on Me shirts, but were probably in suit and tie or uniform and looked like they belonged there and would not have been stopped... Maybe like Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, or Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi or, if in uniform, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis?

The new House on Unamerican Activities Commitee. Maybe they will use McCarthy’s playbook.

@loki said in Helter Skelter!: Unfortunately based on January 6 it will be used as evidence for a long time. What’s the time frame? Can we sound the all clear horn in 6 months if it doesn’t materialize? Seriously, most people I know aren't giving 1/6 much thought at all.

It is impossible for Mr. Biden to take any risk, he is covered for at least a couple years. But in 2 years or so, the "we want Kamala" movement will get louder. Time for Joe to move over.

@xenon said in Ban Twitter from Apple, Google, Amazon?: @george-k said in Ban Twitter from Apple, Google, Amazon?: The FBI warned law enforcement agencies prior to the assault on the U.S. Capitol last week that there would be potential violence, reports the Associated Press If true, why would political leaders - chiefly Trump - pour gasoline on the fire? Because it was a cunning stunt?
