Did you know Angels in the Outfield has a 31% on rottentomatoes? I'm scared to watch it again because I remember it as a perfect movie.

If you won't accept the results of an investigation, then why call for one in the first place. You can do one or the other, but both is dumb. Don't move the goalposts, just admit that you think X happened and you are now rejecting any evidence you disagree with.

My point is that it's very odd to focus on the Democrats specifically when Republicans brought the bills up for a vote, and Republicans also basically unanimously voted for it...more Republicans voted for it than Democrats, and a Republican president is signing the bill.

Republicans pushed it through, Democrats voted for it also. You are allowed to criticize either party for voting for it, but you are being inaccurate if you are saying the Democrats are disproportionately responsible for passage, as the term "pushed it through" means.

Republicans pass legislation through the two houses of Congress they entirely control, a Republican president signs it.

You: "The Democrats pushed this through."

They exist for the important work of censoring critics.

There was a police investigation.

They just didn't investigate Boeing about it because the police investigation determined they weren't involved.

If you truly believe there should be investigations, you have to accept when the results of the investigations don't match your expectations. That's why we have investigations.

My town had an extremely generically named "spa" that I passed by all the time and joked that it must be a drug ring and I found out that no actually they were a human trafficking ring and they got shut down by the police.

I hate the schadenfreude journalism. I will never meet this guy, I don't care how he feels any more than some random South Dakotan. The reason he's relevant is his outsized impact on government and the country, tell me about that.

If you think in terms of "lanes" AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.
