Seems like your efforts would be better spent focusing on the dozen or so Democratic campaign consultants and politicians who convinced those 2.5 million to stay home. Unless you're willing to give up on the whole democracy thing and just impose the leadership you think we need on voters like Lenin or something.

The Democratic party's leadership makes that much more difficult than it needs to be and they will keep blowing winnable elections for the rest of us until they are removed from power

That second sentence deserves its full context

Another uniformed ICE agent stepped out of an unmarked police van at 11:53 a.m. and pointed a matte black rifle at protestors and press, including this reporter, screaming “Get the fuck back!” An SFPD officer stood by and watched from a distance.

I will support him until the day I die.

I bet she would have at least a few doubts in the final moments if things go according to Stephen Miller's plans

I'm sure he's the only person in venture capital with extremely bigoted views and that there is nothing about working in the industry itself that ruins people's brains while also giving them the power to ruin all of our lives /s

I don't think it's by design, I think they're arrogant idiots who thought deporting tens of millions of people would be an easy thing to do, but I think the end result is that they're making concentration camps and slave just like you say, which puts our genocide doomsday clock at about 11:59.

I try to think of it like having a rambunctious friend who takes me on inconveniencing but entertaining adventures

A couple of decades in the future the addition of "Presidented" to American English (verb: to arbitrarily make a declaration or issue an order, implicitly illegally) will really confuse things

Imagine thinking Brian Tarbell Brian gets to decide

Its gratingly bad.

Completely agreed

people today do not understand good music anymore.

I don't think that's anymore true than it's always been, we just have a biased impression of the past because the best stuff from that period stays in rotation, but there was plenty of chart topping crap back then too

Bad covers are frustrating, but I love a good cover where an artist is able to highlight what's different about their approach to music and also pay a bit of respect to a songwriter they like

Because it's the best written song they've ever performed (because they didn't write it)

 

The Supreme Court on Friday in a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines allowed President Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship to go into effect in some areas of the country, for now, by curtailing judges’ ability to block the president’s policies nationwide.

Ruling that three federal district judges went too far in issuing nationwide injunctions against Trump’s order, the high court’s decision claws back a key tool that plaintiffs have used to hamper the president’s agenda in dozens of lawsuits.

But it does not yet definitively resolve whether Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship are constitutional, a hefty legal question that could ultimately return to the justices.
