Conservatism is a movement that's frequently pre-rational and anti-empirical. Evidence has a fraught place within conservative thought.

I didn't get my check the last time, but I still showed up today anyway.

What do you even say? Emmer is an imbecile. In this one statement he reveals he's a conspiracist and that he doesn't understand anything about how ppl organize to help each other. 'How could it be that ppl care about their neighbors?' this chud seems to be saying.

Trump's deplorables enacting who they are, which shouldn't surprise any of us.

Tone deaf to an absurd degree. In the moment when we need strong, principled leadership, Klobuchar is in legislative functionary mode. During an authoritarian attack on Minneaopolis Klobs is having a nice, comfortable jaunt up north.

Nope, the Dems will demand more funding as the homicides in custody stack up, as kids can't get to class, as people back out of medical appointments, as businesses suffer losses and employees lost income - the Dems will ride Minneapolis into the ground unless they're forced to do otherwise.

This is the obvious fact that most congressional Democrats can't seem to understand or admit. ICE is no longer about law and immigration, but about intimidation and silencing dissent.

...on the ground here who are making the city safer, or delivering food to people terrified to leave for work or for medical appointments. Ongoing harm to public safety, public health, education, human rights and local businesses need our support. Klobuchar is once again calling it in.

It's painfully obvious that we need better leadership from the Democrats. They will and are defending ICE funding. They have no publicly stated plans for investigations and prosecutions of innumerable ICE crimes. Klobuchar can't even be bothered to show up to her own state and stand w/ppl...

I think there needs to be some serious strategizing among secularists and others about how to curtail the influence of Christian nationalism. It's not enough to defend church/state separation.

They just need body cams and QR codes and everything will be all right, right Democrats? (I'm disgusted with Democratic inaction.)

The water fish, the route fish in Canada that, he didn't protect the water, no one's drinking any water anymore, just these fish, you know fish drink water, so how are we going to fight fires if the fish are drinking it, which is why we need Greenland, beautiful Greenland, they also have fish.

I'm hearing the voice of a child in Trump, whining that he didn't get the candy that the other kids did.
