Didnt the mafia or CIA gun down Kennedy?

 

[Edgar Friendly]

That whole party has become a fucking snakepit.

 

[Joe]

So more deserving presidents got worse fates

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Well, they railroaded Sanders -- twice.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Not that I'd have voted for the old Commie kook, but that doesn't mean I don't feel a little sympathy for him.

 

[Joe]

Funny thing you Republicans jeering at Biden after his debate performance

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Not so fast; I'm not a Republican. I did point and laugh, though, fair dinkem that.

 

[Joe]

But then you cant wait to rsh to his defence snd protect him

 

[Joe]

Crocodile tears

 

[Joe]

But then you cant wait to rush to his defence snd protect him

 

[Edgar Friendly]

It's not about the man; it's about the principle. I don't like to see people get gamed like that, on either side.

 

[Joe]

Politics a gentlemans game with rules?

 

[Edgar Friendly]

It's just real rich 'n' thick, seeing undemocratic shit like that from the 'Democratic' party who howls about 'threats to our democracy'.

 

[Joe]

Trump snd his party have amply demonstrated otherwise

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I didn't see a rigged primary from them.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

I'll give you this, though: that 'secret vote' to replace Yertl the Turtle was distastefully shady.

 

[Joe]

Trump is a criminal & his followers fawn on him like suckups

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Everybody wanted Rick Scott, yet /somehow/ McConnell's protege snakes it. Sus.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Sure. And I'm sure that if we got eleventy-billionteen different prosecutors to throw a fucktillion things at any politicians, we'd have 'a criminal' inside of a month. That's what lawfare is /for./

 

[Joe]

The cult of Trump reminds me of slavish devotion to a dictator

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Maybe it's just that the propaganda's effectiveness has worn off and only the die-hard zealots still buy it. You can't have a 'cult' that comprises over half the country.

 

[Joe]

For some reason tyrants have that effect on their followers

 

[Edgar Friendly]

What's he done that was tyrannical?

 

[Edgar Friendly]

His whole M.O. is stripping power from unaccountable Federal bureaucrats and returning power to the elected (accountable) State-level representatives. That's kinda the /opposite/ of tyranny. That's what he's really a threat to. Not democracy, but anti-democratic dynamics within the government. And, naturally, they're howling that the sky is falling. Theirs is. Ours isn't. But best believe they want you to think it's the end of your world, so that you'll defend them.

 

[Joe]

His directive to drain the swamp isnt any diiferent from Hitler or Stalin conducting their great purges of party undesireables

 

[Joe]

Its the same thing only in another time snd country

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Yes, I'm sure he's planning to have them frogmarched out onto the steps of the rotunda and shot.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Or at least, you'd think that's what a pink slip is, according to their braying.

 

[Edgar Friendly]

Hey, here's an idea for the 'resistance'! New protected class based on the sexual orientation of 'Fucking the taxpayers'!

 

[Joe]

Weaponizing DOJ & the Supreme Court to protect him against his enemies yes its the same thing
