Disgustingly corrupt: "Instead, his clemency decisions have largely awarded allies and supporters — such as nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — or people who have money to pay well-connected lobbyists and lawyers."

All the hearings of this political era lay out in stark terms that our democracy may be irrevocably broken as the view from opposite sides of the aisle reflect incompatible views of reality. It is cold comfort that the Democratic side is the factual one when so many voters believe the other one.

Pre-internet: Non-experts lacking higher-ed were smart enough to realize they shouldn't be leading in areas that require both. Post-internet: Non-experts lacking higher-ed are stupid enough to believe they know more than anyone else after an hour of "doing their own research".

Mike Brown complaining about free throws after the game is laughable! Where were you in 2010, Mike? You thought tonight was bad? Welcome to the NBA. In game 7 of 2010, the Lakers were awarded 21 free throws against the Celtics' 6 in the 4th quarter!!

It's often depressing to see how ill-informed people are. What about when gas was $4 under Biden? Well the reason for the spike under Biden was when Russia invaded Ukraine throwing the global fuel market into panic. Today, the price is high due to the whims of one idiot.

One thing about this president, he's impossible to use as an April Fool's joke since everything and anything, no matter how ridiculous or idiotic, is believable.

Great to hear people regretting the three times they voted for Trump, but How did you decide to vote for him after he led an insurrection that had people dead and feces smeared in the people's house? Was it his tireless charity work to that allowed you to vote for him a third time?

2/2 We may want to consider that electing public servants as leaders is a better choice. Qualified people who genuinely want to help others and have made sacrifices for the greater good - or we could continue down the road of "all politicians are bad so we might as well elect the worst."

The irony of arguments that government should be run as a business and who better to elect than a businesMAN (albeit a failed one) is now our business has been run into the ground by a lunatic CEO and there's a faction on the board who refuse to vote to remove him because of personal benefit.

We are now being led by an unhinged religious death cult and there is nowhere near the reaction that this deserves. I guess we'll have to keep waiting for elected leaders, particularly from the pedophile protection party, to be pressured into action as the market crumbles.

Nearly every conservative person I talk to repeats the same untruth: "We can't afford it." This is the richest fucking country in the world and sane tax policies along with fundamental changes in tax code could make an amazing amount of equitable changes benefitting the majority very possible!

The key sin of immigration, particularly undocumented immigration, is it exposes how underfunded public services are in virtually every aspect of life in the richest fucking country on Earth. A far more productive task is to investigate how and why that has happened (start at who benefits).
