How much further can the Democratic Party's approval rate fall? Are we really better off now than if Schumer had refused to invoke cloture? I'm genuinely not so sure.

In 2011, before I really cared about politics, Rand Paul proudly argued that the 'right to healthcare is slavery'. And that's when I really know some of our political leaders are exceptionally stupid. www.politico.com/story/2011/0...

Paul: 'Right to health care' is slavery
He says the notion of expanding federally funded community health centers is not constitutional.

This is how I calm myself before I go to sleep. It includes taking climate change seriously and switching to a non-car centric society.

It's interesting how he calls 'em warfighters and wants to focus on military lethality while also touting Trump's supposed record of peace and NOT excluding using the military against the American people. America's murderous chickens are coming home to roost unarmed citizens like they did overseas.

Unbelievable. Hegseth takes after his master: lawless and unstable.

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Tim Kaine's questioning of Hegseth clearly establishes the latter believes that no moral failures are disqualifying for the Secretary of Defense.

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
So, just to recap the Hegseth confirmation up to this point: He's focused on the lethality of the military and won't commit to ensuring that he won't turn the military on American citizens or foreign allies.

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Absolutely disqualifying. The answer to Senator Hirono's question should've been a resounding "no".

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Hold up! Hegseth was denied serving as a guard for Biden's inauguration because his own unit identified him as an extremist? How the hell is that *not* a problem?
021
majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Someone finally asked for specifics. That's really all I want. Where are Hegseth's receipts and why isn't anyone other than Gillibrand asking for them?
001
majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Oh c'mon. The senator obviously meant "jag officer", which stands for Judge Advocate General's Corp officer.

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 14/01/2025
Man...fuck Hegseth. This dude clearly wants a military unbound by laws and restrictions to "increase lethality", where the capacity to murder is greater than the rule of law.

Where's the evidence that you can evaluate that evidence? The concept of evaluating evidence for your beliefs has been around for all of human history too and yet...here you are...not doing that.

Lol this is a trap if I've ever seen one. Legitimating illegitimate perspectives based on demonstrable lies and sinister duplicity does not a centrist liberal make. How do you resist violence while calling people illegals and supporting their forced and violent deportation? I call BS.

So, you're implying that any and all numbers about abortion are necessarily only about convenience abortions? Basically, all abortions are convenience abortions? Is that what you're saying? If not, you might want to tell me what you're saying instead of leaving it up to my interpretation.

Do you have *any* evidence that most abortions are due to convenience issues? I'll take literally anything outside of your mere assertion.

I mean...I still disagree, but at this point, I'm just being pedantic because I know what you mean. Facts tend to stand alone. I get it!

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 07/12/2024
I moved away from media like that too, but we still do the work of determining which facts are relevant and which aren't. That the sun's hydrogen atoms are being fused into heavier elements is meaningless in terms of the authoritarian threat, for example. Both are facts, but only one is relevant.

majorpremise.bsky.social @majorpremise.bsky.social · 07/12/2024
But facts are meaningless without the interpretation of them; framing facts gives them meaning. During the last 4 years, Fox News characterized the highest rate of border encounters as a failure of border policy, as if each time anyone is caught at the border, we have failed as a country. U

Today's smuggie isn't so smug. Drawing things helps me turn them into emotions. Sharing them helps me move on. Thanks for reading this comic, it's my self-therapy. English title is "unspoken". French title is "non-dit". I'm okay. #smuggie #smug #webcomic #depression #grief #toxicmasculinity
YOUNG ADULT: Patriarchal gender norms convinced me feelings are for the weak, so I won't tell you the positive things I have to say about you.

EARLY 20s: I'm going through bad times, depression and emotional issues prevent me from telling you I appreciate you as a person

EARLY 30s: We've had this distant relationship for so long that it feels natural, why disrupt our statu quo by saying nice things

LATE 30s [standing next to a grave]: Well, you're gone now. Gone forever. I never told you a single positive personal thing throughout our interactions. And it feels bad.

NOW [in a clown costume]: I learned literally nothing from this (smug?)JEUNE ADULTE : Le patriarcat et les normes de genre me disent que les émotions sont pour les faibles, donc je ne te dirai pas que je t'apprécie

DÉBUT DE VINGTAINE : Je traverse des difficultés et suis émotionnellement fermé, je ne te dirai pas les choses positives que je pense à ton sujet

DÉBUT DE TRENTAINE : On a cette relation distante depuis tellement longtemps que c'est naturel, trop tard pour ruiner le statu quo

FIN DE TRENTAINE [devant une tombe] : Tu es parti maintenant. On ne se reverra jamais. Je ne suis jamais arrivé à te dire une seule chose personnelle positive. Ça me rend triste.

MAINTENANT [en costume de clown] : Je n'ai littéralement rien appris suite à ceci

[TV News] New law makes every orphan forced to voluntarily step into an orphan crushing machine, thus finally putting an end to society having to deal with orphans. Let's ask a Peppa Pig pez dispenser for their thoughts on this topic.

I'm a Peppa Pig pez dispenser. I literally have no political thoughts. I'm an inanimate fucking object. How do you expect me to answer?

Well thi is it folks, our interviewee seems to have no issue with the new orphan crushing law. Next we'll be asking a Markiplier mpreg fanfic for their thoughts on rising leftist antisemitism.

[person in chair] Fascinating. I will willingly watch this on a loop 24/7.[TV News] Le gouvernement passe une loi forçant tous les orphelins à volontairement se rendre dans une machine à broyer les orphelin, ce qui résoudra pour de bon le porblème de l'existence des orphelins. Demandons l'opinion d'un distributeur de PEZ Peppa Pig sur ce sujet.

Je suis un distributeur de PEZ Peppa Pig. Je n'ai aucune opiniong politique. Je suis un objet inanimé. Comment suis-je censé répondre ?

Comme le prouve cette interview, les gens ne sont pas opposés au broyage des orphelins. Maintenant, demandons à une fanfiction mpreg son opinion sur l'antisémitisme de gauche.

[Personne dans son salon] Fascinant. Je vais volontairement consommer ce contenu télévisé en boucle 24/7.

Amazon and Walmart are the largest US companies by both revenue and number of employees. But 87% of jobs for Amazon and 91% for Walmart pay less than $20/hr. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos is worth $229B and the Walton family is worth roughly $270B. See the problem here?
