Someone that actually wants to disrupt the ills of the system could have tried effectively using the DOJ to imprison every pedophile, traitor, and corrupt politician currently in office, that would leave a nice heap of missing seats in the senate, getting a majority would be much easier. Remove the filibuster and pack the courts with a fresh set of folks like KBJ.

While you're at it, use the DOE to enforce radical a climate agenda that disrupts the power of oil. You could even use the climate emergency to justify massive reductions in military presence around the world, letting the military budget go towards jobs programs for local green development. They could actually follow leahy laws and cut all military aid to Israel.

I would have hoped from the Trump presidency, more folks would realize the rules are largely built on biased interpretations and that you can bias those in other directions to make the country better. Now maybe you think I am absurd in my views, but maybe we can compromise a bit further than spending months with websites and means testing to slowly roll out partial student debt relief while giving all the time in the world for the right to send court cases against it. Put simply a Trump of the left would have done the effective thing of simply abolishing the debt unilaterally and giving the courts the much more difficult task of reinstating debt, rather than moving slow enough that it's stopped before it starts.

No one outside the alt right would judge you for dating a jewish person or an israeli person, why did you feel the need to make this strawman? Do you have experience with being judged for dating zionists and feel the need to make their objection less palatable?

I am unreasonably upset by this treating of Arrested Development as a deep cut 😠

I heard this take, and I can't shake it honestly. If it had been a small strange hero shooter with complex mechanics from some guys behind apex and TF2. I could absolutely see a devoted following that grew maybe akin to deadlock.

But this triple A, next big game highlight from Dorito Pope himself, about a trailer of a hero shooter 'with a cool interesting style', really was such the wrong vibe for it to start with.

Yeah, Match Their Energy! You've seen it?

To give a comparison, this is the sort of energy you often see in stars, cars, or springs.
