dhork, to politics in Trump cites Biden’s 'disturbing grin' in effort to terminate limited gag order in hush money case - ABC News

I wonder how much of these lawyers filings are dictated by Trump himself. "He’s looking at me funny – Get the judge to make him stop!’

dhork, to politics in Massachusetts school can in fact ban 'there are only two genders' T-shirt, federal appeals court rules

I admit, I’m a bit conflicted by this. On the one hand, it’s kind of a dumb thing to put on a t-shirt, and seems to be a message that is only meant to trigger queer people. On the other hand, though, doesn’t he have a right to express himself? Is simply viewing a dumb slogan enough to cause enough distress that the slogan needs to be banned, on its own, without any other provocative action on the part of the student? (I admit that a student who thinks a shirt like this is OK might do other provocative things, but the article doesn’t mention any).

Let’s think about things that might merit a ban at school. A shirt with a swastika on it would qualify, even though the symbol has been around for centuries before the Nazis appropriated it, because the Nazis were so abhorrent that they ruined that symbol, like everything else they touched.

But, what about an athiest edgelord who decided to wear a “God is a lie” shirt? Or even a hockey-themed “Jesus Saves, Satan scores on the rebound!” Both of those shirts relate beliefs that are objectionable to certain Christians, and may cause them distress. Should the school ban those as well?

(And does it make a difference if the hockey shirt has a picture of Miroslav Šatan scoring that goal?)

dhork, to politics in A Majority of Voters Backing Biden Are Mostly Motivated by Stopping Trump — Poll

The opinions of Biden seem to be all over the map, which is weird since he is the incumbent, and we all ought to know where he stands. There are lots of people (like you) who see the progressive things he has managed to get accomplished, even with a divided Congress in these past two years. Yet, there are others who perceive him as a right-of-center false choice.

He has always had trouble defining himself, which I think is part of the reason he was a perennial Presidential Primary loser. His stutter didn’t help matters, nor his tendency to go off-script. But Trump’s ascendancy gave him the perfect opportunity to create a definition, even if that definition is “Not Trump”.

dhork, to politics in Trump vows to ‘drill, baby, drill’ despite rally attendees wilting in extreme heat

dhork, to politics in The Proud Boys are back: How the far-right group is rebuilding to rally behind Trump

dhork, to politics in Tommy Tuberville Tries to Argue Putin Has No Interest in Ukraine

He’s gotta be the dumbest Senator ever, even dumber than the guy who brought a snowball to the Senate to prove that climate change was a hoax, or the other Senator who said the Internet was a series of tubes.

dhork, to politics in The Wall Street Journal’s story about Biden’s mental acuity suffers from glaring problems

I posted this in another thread today, but I want to remind everyone that this all goes back to Roger Ailes, a Nixon advisor who thought that Nixon’s real problem was that he didn’t have his own news network who could attack his opposition and tell people what to think.
