@The Aspie Corner No kiddin'. It's scary what's happened over there ever since they parted with reality.

And full imperialist.

@lotlizard the capitalists continue to rake in massive profits. But that's one connection no one is allowed to make for fear that if people figure it out, the whole operation will come crashing down.

they can’t be serious.

Alas, after investing so many years and so much energy and heart among Democrats like those at TOP and other forums, I know all too well that they are indeed quite serious, in the sense of being 100% emotionally invested in such extreme, performative methods and manners of expression.

I fear that Newton’s third law applies here. “For each action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” For every person expressing themselves like your sample Democrat, there will soon enough be another person whose response is, “Well, then, how about if I take Alt-Right white nationalist, basement-dwelling weirdoes (if that characterization is even correct) over people like you?”

It’s like in Germany, when writers post opinion pieces, the gist of which is that Germans can’t die off and be replaced by immigrants fast enough to suit the Left, and then wonder why right-wing populists and nationalists do better and better in the polls.

@dkmich

Unless someone is a masochistic sheep, I have no clue why they would be at that other place. Its' stats are thru the floor even during election season.

The video below is only 5 minutes.

There’s a small but vocal group of American scholars who say that anti-Russian hysteria is on the rise. We met with two of them to hear their admittedly unpopular case for the rightness of Russia.

few tools we have
@lotlizard
left to deal with these asshats.

is now a “moral imperative,” says Kos, speaking ex cathedra as vouchsafed unto us through the Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/11/trump-protest-harassment...

on public shaming.
@snoopydawg
Especially in public restaurants.
There is no better way to protest this admin than to shame them in a public place, confront them while they attempt to swallow a bite of pork chop.

“Public shaming of Trump regime officials isn’t just useful, it’s a moral imperative in these difficult times,” says Markos Moulitsas, the founder of Daily Kos and the author of last year’s The Resistance Handbook: 45 Ways to Fight Trump, which offers practical advice for protesters and advocacy groups.

So far the democrats have voted for everyone of Trump's policies except for rescinding the ACA which was their total failure to give us a functioning health care plan when they could have passed universal health care.

For Moulitsas, though, that’s exactly the point. Excluding Trump officials from the public sphere is a powerful political tool. He says it’s up to Trump officials to decide whether destroying other people’s lives is worth the public shame. “None of them should ever be allowed to have a peaceful meal in public, unless they want to spend all their time in rural flyover country they pretend to love so much. They are destroying lives every single day, literally killing people in many cases, so they don’t get to be treated like royalty. They need to be confronted with the reality of their choices.”

I think that should go for Bill and Hillary who also destroyed lives every single day because they passed welfare reform that sent millions of families especially women and children deeper into poverty and is still affection millions of us to this day. I love the selective outrage, Markos.

BTW. Guess who paid the people who harassed Kirsten of the DHS? None other than Barry Obama's new OFA PAC.

@gulfgal98

Critical thinking skills seem to be non-existent over there.

Markos himself, on March 15, 2016, wrapped all the critical thought on his site in bubble wrap, put it in boxes, and shipped it express to this place care of JtC.

JtC found it a great gift, unpacked the boxes, and kept it here, as it is today!

seem to be non-existent over there.

Again, Markos and his staff refuse to discuss policy from a positive perspective. Instead, they focus their readers on the outrage de jour and tribalism. The entire purpose of that site is a massive propaganda push designed to keep us divided. And the narrative they keep pushing are not only divisive, but extremely dangerous.

I rarely go there any more, mostly because I would like to keep as many of my remaining brain cells intact. But when I have visited that place, it is a very frightening place to see how Markos (post purge) has herded the remaining members into a small corral, all of them nodding in agreement with whatever gruel Markos and his front pagers are serving up.

And a cruel gruel it is, too!
