Palestinians knew who they were when they elected them.

False narrative.

We have less than a dozen morons here. They don't represent anyone but themselves.

Meanwhile we have entire factions of the Republican party at war with themselves from the Lincoln Project to the infighting in the House just this week.

The left has always had its share of morons.

Well-meaning morons, but morons nonetheless.

The issue is that the centrist and right wing media latch on to the narrative of these fringe weirdos and pretend that they represent the entirety of the left wing, even though there are WAY MORE lefties who find them disdainful.

We could have used that attitude when he handed the election to Bush. I guess it only took a Republican war of choice and a catastrophic economic collapse to make him realize that no, Democrats and Republicans aren't essentially the same.

2hrs of the same tired "dur... Woke is dumb!" joke over and over? Hard pass.

Also, cleaning a cut is woke now?

I grew up in the 80s, I'm just ten years younger than Bill Burr, and I can't get on board with this sort of plot at all.

As if society passed these people by, and they're just now discovering decades of social evolution.

These characters haven't watched the news, used social media, or seen a movie in 20 years? Come on.

So, in other words the FBI must have had tons of specific information that this insurrection was going to happen ... Yet we had very little law enforcement there or on standby.

This is the part of Jan 6 that has not received nearly enough attention. Either law enforcement was grossly incompetent, or they were deliberately held back to allow the insurrection to succeed. In other words: a coup.

Trump should have been behind bars since the afternoon of Jan 6.

He should have been impeached immediately, and arrested and indicted for inciting an insurrection.

And every Republican in Congress should have been 100 percent on board with that.

But... If we set aside for a moment that they are a party of traitors, that still doesn't explain why Merrick Garland wasn't putting the cuffs on Trump the day he was sworn in as the new AG.

IT'S ABSOLUTE MADNESS THAT TRUMP IS ALLOWED TO WALK AROUND FREE. In our entire history, we've never come closer to losing our democracy. Including the civil war.

That there wasn't a single mainstream Republican who stood up to Trump during his presidency.

I mean, come on. Who wrote this?

We're supposed to believe that EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN in government went from taking about how unfit Trump was when he was a candidate ... to standing behind him 100% even when he cozied up to Russia, paid hush money to a porn star, and lied about a Presidential election?

She and Bill Maher sure sounds like scabs to me.
