Was fighting the Brett Kavanaugh appointment a waste of political capital?

Fuck that. Fight even if you're going to loose because it literally costs them nothing to fight it.

People should read the first chapter of "The Ministry for the Future". People will start dieing by the millions due to heat waves, it's going to happen even if we stop burning oil now because of how long the feedback loop takes. Drilling more lengthens this trend into a future where billions die.

Between the lines: Tariffs are going to be used as a tool to transfer wealth from the bottom to the top. But there are some global players who want in on that action, so Trump is going to pick hand pick some winners in exchange for foreign policy.

This fucker is getting ready to retire so he is getting ready to blame ethics standards for his leaving. This is to justify even more flagrant violations by his to be named successor.

Last decade we would say facts have a liberal bias. Now I would say context has that bias as well.

Go ahead and defend the system but don't say the majority voted for this, because the rules expressly allow for minority rule.

Trump did not get the majority of votes and if the house was not gerrymandered there would be no GOP majority there as well.

It's a simple fact that people who don't understand context are easy to manipulate. And now it can be automated 🙃
