The only real story here is that Trump supporters are so neutered and locked in their own mental prisons they can’t just say what they feel when given the planned opportunity. Something tells me if Trump hung with any of these people, he’d immediately tell them all to grow a pair.

Everyone’s rhetoric veers off into flights of fancy. Team red or team blue, every argument spins wildly into some hot take completely detached from reality. It’s like one group compiles a list of facts which are neither here nor there, and the next group weaves it into some rhetoric designed to rile the mob and crystalize some false narrative.

I feel like this presidency is underwhelming to those who were expecting Biden to transform into Elizabeth Warren. Really, Biden has done what he said he’d do, and you guys are mad you lost the election. That’s fine, I would have preferred someone more to your tastes too, but to say he’s weak is to just give the right more ammo.

I don’t know if the divide here is actually left or right. I think any reasonable person can see the complexities here. What seems to have a party divide is the interpretation of these complexities.
What really strikes me most about the whole matter is that we seemed to have tripped over some loophole - where if you’re feeling particularly predatory one night, and you hear about a riot breaking out, you can grab a gun and see what kind of trouble you can get yourself into.
These things get complicated. Personally, I figure he was hoping to shoot someone and so I hope he gets the book thrown at him. But, that’s a personal opinion based primarily on media recountings during our ongoing culture wars.
At the end of the day, I don’t know what happened here, nor do I know Kyle or what was going through his mind during this. It’s entirely possible that, legally, he was in the right.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter that Musk is right and he can manage the money better, the other billionaires need to be brought to the well and Elon is just going to have to take the hit.

Yeah, I’d say they are. I personally think the Democrat’s war is the more correct one - mail-in, early voting, automatic registration are all things that seem OK to me, but I can put myself in a red hat and see how they could see that as an out-and-out attack.
From my perspective, Republicans pushing Voter ID, the constant recounts, and the insistence that everything is doomed constantly sure seem like an attack to me.
No space, biology, chemistry and time aren’t good enough reasons to justify forcing others to keep you alive. You’ve no objective reason to force others to pay for your healthcare beyond “society” and “everyone else is doing it”, you’re just appealing to bandwagon and authority.
Objectively speaking, healthcare is a universal need as it’s something every living person needs. Logically, since we know everyone needs it, and we understand morally that barriers such as the ability to pay for help shouldn’t block someone from receiving help, the only reasonable thing to do is off-load the cost away from the individual.
In fairness to The republicans, I don’t need a commission to tell me what I already know: Some republicans are willing to stage a revolt, try to mame other Republicans in their way, and then all pretend it never happened out of loyalty to the party. It’s hard to even process how dangerous this is. Had this insanity succeeded, Republicans would clearly have supported it. With this, they make clear that the Republic is one flash mob away from getting overthrown, and in some circumstances they support it.
This is the Republican thing to do when Democrats are in office, they did with Obama too. They’re only willing in participating if they own the process from one end to the other, which sounds petty and juvenile. Hard to believe these people are running the largest, most influential, government in human history.

Hot take, but I think it’s within the realm of reason that the officer did mean to go for their tazer but was confused in the heat of the moment. This reaffirms my belief that an armed police force so willing to meet escalation with escalation mostly serves to make tense situations worse.
If you’re looking for a libertarian view to latch onto here, consider that I (and any criminal not sentenced to death) have a constitutionally guaranteed right to life.
What is this, feudal china? We should open the fucking borders, let’s stop being afraid of poor people already

Greedy capitalists play woke on TV but do business in China against all morality and decency, this should outrage us all. How would a Libertarian non-interventionalist policy help end Chinese re-education camps?

I don’t understand, if it was premeditated days beforehand, and they all met at a Trump rally, where he directed them to execute their plan, how is that not incitement? The premeditation hurts his case, especially if it can be proved that he knew about the plan beforehand - which clearly he did, telling them to march down. Would be a big coincidence if he decided independently to do it too
What doesn’t bend, breaks. What would fill my heart with joy, is that instead of saber-rattling, if he were to acknowledge this horrible cycle and try to do something positive about it. Republicans like Mitch McConnell actually working towards bi-partisanship would not only be a sight to see but might actually heal some wounds.
