I think that’s what he means. He’s saying there’s no reason not to do what’s right, because compromising on the issues is a dead end anyway.

I think Ds should oppose this but in a “zomg, look at these freaks obsessed about where people shit and piss” way. Long term war over trans bathroom issue will be won by the side that is more chill, imo.

No. Special election.
R’s put more effort into marginalizing a trans rep than dealing with one that uses illegal drugs and bangs underage girls.

Biden spent 7 years telling us all Trump was an existential threat to democracy then invited him for tea and a photo op last week to celebrate his win.
Dems are the absolute nut low at messaging anything.
The gop are Sid Vicious and Sex Pistols drinking and fucking everything in sight while screaming fuck it all and have fun doing it. Dems are the 60 years old school marm chastising the punk for wearing ripped jeans to assembly.
We all know who wins that popularity contest.

I keep seeing this comparison and it keeps feeling really wrong. The GOP may be going balls out but its all on shitty bullshit.
There is only one party who wants to take away your drugs, and be next to you in the bedroom watching you fuck, and it isnt the Dems. And they aren’t watching you fuck in the fun way, they are watching you to see what you are doing wrong and stopping you from fucking.
They aren’t rockstars. They are the biggest scolds on the planet and are just fucking loud about it.
Their speaker of the House MONITORS HIS SON’S PORN USAGE. They literally want to BAN PORNOGRAPHY.
Like, stop with this Clovis. I agree the dems suck, but it isn’t because the Reds are the party of drinking and fucking like there is no tomorrow. They want every kink back in the closet and will use their jackboots to make sure that happens

Governing is about more than dunking on Republicans. Upholding norms about the peaceful transfer of power is important. Biden’s messaging is good.

Yeah, maybe I would’ve liked to see Biden not look so fucking happy to meet with Trump, but I have zero problem with him being cordial and presidential. Incoming presidents meet with outgoing presidents in front of the cameras every election cycle.

Georgia officials have dismissed all members of a state committee charged with investigating deaths of pregnant women. The move came in response to ProPublica having obtained internal reports detailing two deaths.
ProPublica reported in September on the deaths of Amber Thurman and Candi Miller, which the state maternal mortality review committee had determined were preventable. They were the first reported cases of women who died without access to care restricted by a state abortion ban, and they unleashed a torrent of outrage over the fatal consequences of such laws. The women’s stories became a central discussion in the presidential campaign and ballot initiatives involving abortion access in 10 states.
“Confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outside individuals,” Dr. Kathleen Toomey, commissioner of the state Department of Public Health, wrote in a letter dated Nov. 8 and addressed to members of the committee. “Even though this disclosure was investigated, the investigation was unable to uncover which individual(s) disclosed confidential information.
“Therefore, effective immediately the current MMRC is disbanded, and all member seats will be filled through a new application process.”

You guys are living in the past, the new norm is being a petulant pissbaby during the transition then inciting an insurrection during the official certification of election results.

Well now we known for sure it’s wrong.
At this point in 2020 Biden still wasn’t receiving national security briefings because the GSA hadn’t acknowledged him as the winner of the election.
You are missing the point of MAGA. They never talk about the stuff you are saying. Trump doesn’t talk about banning porn. Only politics nerds like us even know that.
Trumps fans 100% see him as punk and fun if you are a white man.
It’s not an accident 80% of them have credible sexual assault charges. It’s a feature not a bug.

Sad to say, but I think banning porn would be one of the few things that would really move the needle with people, you don’t mess with the bread and circuses and porn is definitely part of the latter.
Of course it’s really just the true believers like Johnson that would want to get rid of it, I would think the cynical grifter wing of the GOP would be smart enough not to touch it.

Ya. Iron legit thinks it’s 1992 pre-Gingrich. He is why dems keep bringing a spitball gun to a bazooka fight.
The thing about norms is that they aren’t really norms anymore if only half the government are following them.
In an ideal world should Biden be inviting the incoming president from the other party? Sure. This isn’t that timeline though. Like clovis said you look like a clown and a fool inviting Trump in for small talk, tea and crumpets. It isn’t just that Trump didn’t do it in 2020. It’s that Trump has done a myriad of completely evil things and is about to unleash a tidal wave of more of the same. Meanwhile the Dems see their best play as upholding norms right up to the point they get loaded in the trains to the camps. It’s weak and the behavior of losers.
