And no refunds! If only you were so eager to support the American people like that instead (as opposed to foreign asset-adjacent behavior - I believe you [Biden] are the president of the US, not Ukraine) Biden is only worried because he knows that he will be investigated for his and Hunter’s business ties in Ukraine during impeachment next year.
Vermillion Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Roberts' allies circling the wagons to save a nonexistent legacy. Period, full stop. Ignore the palace intrigue about Ginni Thomas as the leaker to lock in the vote, not much good that revelation does now... Expand the court. Onward.
Vermillion Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Pence needs the base but can't separate himself from it. Trying to have his cake and eat it too. Part of me honestly wishes he'd try to be more subtle about it.

Ignore the palace intrigue about Ginni Thomas as the leaker to lock in the vote, not much good that revelation does now... Expand the court. Onward. Biden AND Senate Democrats personally oppose every single measure they could have taken to respond to Roe being overturned. It's been painfully clear this whole time that they've always been half-hearted about the whole thing, and they never really cared. They liked having it as a cudgel to beat people into voting for them with, but that's about it. They are unaffected by pretty much all of the damage the Court could possibly inflict. The Harper v. Moore case will actually be great for them, because it means they'll be a permanent minority from now on, and they can fundraise better from the position of "feckless opposition party that is powerless to halt anything the GOP actually wants" rather than "impotent governing party that functionally gets nothing done."
rihannabiggestfan Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Biden, for the first time, plummeting to single-digit "strong approval" in the latest Associated Press poll impressive, considering Trump never managed to achieve that. I guess people who lose 103 states in a row don't have organic strong support

Can't find that he's tweeted any sort of justification for his vote. Doesn't seem like there's any reason other than being against Pelosi profiting off of NVIDIA shares.
Kassi Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 I just started following this Nancy Pelosi stock tracker after the whole FAKE news with NVIDIA (where she actually lost 250k on the call option) and… All those try hard idiots who got themselves worked up over her portfolio now being confused why it’s a loser. Wish they would understand that she doesn’t need that money, most of it is tucked away in a safe investments. While Paul or whoever is trading is literally just gambling for funsies. Hope they lose all their money trying to copy her trades.

And technically, she can't be completely independent and uncensored on Youtube (and she would know, both her channel AND The Hill have gotten temporary bans on Youtube, and wbk that big tech and lack of free speech are problems, etc), but she can definitely be more independent and uncensored on her own than with The Hill. And this will be her first vid on her channel in like 3 months+. (I wish she would drop the right-wing culture stuff tho and return to the left-wing populism that she used to have tho [same with a certain former Congresswoman but that won't be happening] )
Mean Trees Posted July 27, 2022 Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) @Communion nnnn. Was it Kim? I honestly haven't been watching. @rihannabiggestfan No problem. Youtube is def cracking down so yeah, she'll still be controlled somewhat. And I agree, with the Culture war nonsense being ridiculous. I do wonder what she's going to say in her response though... Is it going to be like Krystal and Sagar's leaving video or if its going to be scorched earth. I'm watching Sabby Sabs rn, and someone in the chat said that she saw Kim in DC and she said something a long the lines of she was waiting to ''explode'' because she was being somewhat censored on the show. Anyway, I've seen y'all replying to me but honestly, this site is so slow and it gets it's worse when you're replying to multiple quotes so I've been trying to avoid replying.

The left is, frankly, not as big a market, and has completely disengaged after Biden winning the nomination and subsequently the presidency. The entire notion that Biden could be moved to the left has turned out to be a complete farce, and yet his messaging has convinced everyone right-of-center that he's a leftist demon when everything collapsing is the result of centrism/neoliberalism, giving those centrists an avenue to wash their hands of responsibility for the damage they've caused.

I follow Esperanza so it was nice getting to see her do an interview though. I think Bad Faith has its appeals when it is either a one-on-one interview with someone interesting (like Marianne) or knowledgeable (I don't personally find the subject of if Roe v Wade could actually meet constitutionality noteworthy but admire Norm Finkelstein and thus find any expertise he has elsewhere interesting) or a panel who largely agrees dissecting a topic. But even when I like Briahna, and glad she largely condemns deadnaming as an immoral act, not even she can make me find "debate me, bro" videos like this interesting. I hate when losers like Vaush do it and I hate this here. I don't think it's productive to have two materially opposed people try and debate who's right over such issues. Kim shows she lacks any real knowledge or argument here.
