Didn’t move the voting needle, one iota, did it? Because as I recall, he lost the next election.


I saw it. And I laughed at it. Because it was funny.
Fuck Charlie Kirk, and these butthurt GOP hypocrites who regularly spew hate and bile and vitriol every time they open their mouths. They can dish it out, but they sure can’t take it.
edit: here is their response:


If Democrats have any hope of winning the 2028 election, they need to learn how to walk and chew gum at the same time


protected from what, exactly?


“Mishter Ryan, mosht thingsh in here don’t react too well to bulletsh”


It really is both, though
Kitties are solar powered


Only 200? Imagine if they had 200,000.


OK. You make a very good argument.
Perhaps it’s time for me to reassess these people.
FWIW, I listen to these people as a counterpoint to gain perspective, but perhaps I’ve let my own perspective of them slip a bit. Maybe it’s time to recalibrate.
I appreciate the dialogue. Thank you.
Edit: also, fuck Bill Krystol. Those are dirty hands that cannot be washed clean.


This Schumer son of a bitch has got to go


That’s a big fuzz!❤️


I really don’t think this is a fair characterization at all. Do you have any specific examples of things they’ve been talking about recently which you can cite to back up these assertions? Because I’ve been listening to the Bulwark a lot lately, and I just don’t hear from them what you’re describing.
Sure, there’s plenty that I disagree with them on— and I’m definitely not gonna argue about the established facts of their collective past, but, still, I don’t think your characterization of their present is quite fair.
Look, I’m not trying to have an argument or be confrontational. I simply disagree.


I think most people just are very confused about the idea of transgenderism and what it actually means, both to those who are transgender and for everyone else.
And the answer to this? Education.


She’s an ex-neocon, and I’m not entirely sure about the warmonger part. Having heard her speak a lot recently, it really doesn’t seem that way to me. She’s definitely spoken out against both the wars Israel and the United States are participating in, the genocide and Gaza, and the war between Ukraine and Russia.
Of course, she and the rest of the crew at The Bulwark are a bunch of ex-Republican never-Trumpers (which they’re very open about), so I wouldn’t exactly call them a bunch of lefty liberals. And they definitely carry around some of their old bad habits. I can definitely understand why you don’t like her.


Hmm… OK, I can understand that criticism. I’m not a really big fan of Hasan Piker, myself, but I do think that some of her criticisms were unfair and even mean-spirited.
I like The Bulwark because it helps give me a more balanced perspective, but I have to remember all of them are a bunch of ex-Republican never-Trumpers, and it seems they still have some of their old bad habits.


I have seen that arch. Pictures of it anyway. And, from an architectural and design standpoint, it is pretty cool. I’m not particularly into Middle Eastern art styles myself, but it is a pretty cool… Memorial Gateway? It’s not quite an arch, but Kinda. It’s definitely very representative of the culture in Iraq, though.
And what a fucking waste that war was. And the one that followed. And the one that followed that one. If nothing else, it should be commemorated… For the lives lost.


What’s your problem with Sarah Longwell?
Just saying “nuh-uh!” And then doubling down doesn’t make for a good counter argument.
