Who cares about political "accountability"?
Oh noes, they had to say "I don't recall" more than a dozen times!!
Maybe start talking about criminal accountability and rebuilding things?

You can defend suburbs all you want, but if the other person is a proud city dweller ... facts don't matter. They'll stick to stereotypes when the facts don't apply.

As a suburb kid and adult, I really get tired of the mud slinging. The amount of McMansion condescension is out of line with the number of those things.
I've learned that disgust with suburbs has absolutely nothing to do with them and absolutely everything to do with identity.

There's a huge variance. I grew up in poor suburbs where that's absolutely not true. And I've lived in suburbs where it felt strongly exclusionary.
I think the exclusion tracks with wealth, which correlates with suburbs. I don't think suburbs are that way.

Especially when the head of the administration has a literal get out of jail card and can generate all the get out of federal jail cards he wants.
All he has to do is say that he's judged that it's in the best interests of the USA that he stay unprosecuted and on the job.

It's viral marketing. It's signal boosting an advertisement.
You make the reader answer a question (like WTF is this) and that makes it far more memorable.

A lawmaker who thinks that we should have peer pressure rules ... why did she want to get a job making laws (which were followed here) when she doesn't want to achieve things via laws??
What exactly would disapproval do other than make a couple people feel better without changing anything?

I'm 53. I'm ready to retire the 9/11 stuff. Definitely was scary at the time - definitely past time to stop worrying about Muslims and the war on terror, which seemed to create more terror than it resolved.

Always thought it was mullet-lite for the mullet curious who want some party in the back but don't want to be seen as southern or a teens-twentysomething.

Conservatives are so hierarchical in terms of power, they really seem to blur the lines between government and culture and religion. It's just power.

No one is this dumb.
Dems seem to notice that the media holds Republicans to a different standard. See, eg, the NYT had a good amount of these emails when they published the "but her emails" crap. See also, the Major Questions Doctrine applies to Biden but the Unitary Executive applies to Trump.

Dems should (but won't) do something purely for show & politics, like retroactively impeaching Garland. If leagues can retroactively take wins away from a sports team, then the US can retroactively take away the honorable end of his career.

"How many arrests were made out of those 186,000 fraudulent accounts?"
If the answer is under 186,000: "Why not more?"
Oh, you mean the list held names of people who had died, not that the service was being abused.

Yeah man, so cool!
Really government and the flight for democracy is about whether you can dunk on people who care.
You're so cool!
Imagine if you had decency to have values instead of mockery. Imagine.
But you're soooooo 😎

I too get angry at people who describe authoritarianism. Why not? It's a waste to get angry at the authoritarians, they don't care, but regular people do.
So, remember, if you want to be angry at the court that's giving away democracy, get angry at people describing it instead!

Like children, pets will push. You can push back and be in control, or you can let the kids/pets decide.
