Roberts will die happy and comfortable, with his only passing regret being that he wished he could’ve been more openly racist

Um, are you forgetting that he has a cold?

So, what I’m hearing is that remote work is causing your increasing lack of loyalty to your local job creator?

The court’s finest judicial microscope:

Probably true, but I feel like I remember him doing a lot of what he said he would.

Like putting Hillary Clinton in prison?

I just feel like “fighting for ordinary folks”, “telling the truth”, and “knowing right from wrong”, is a weird way to characterize Trump, but I guess Obama sees something in him I don’t

Every day history continues to punish the 5-4 podcast for their optimism.

In other words, Trump’s “anti-war stance” is identical to Obama’s when he ran against Bush: a calculated lie.

and yet, here I am. doing just that.

in order for it to be bribery, one of those hands needs to be black

The logical path of progression from here is that “there are no Jews, there are only ‘Israelis’” and "Hitler was right that they were foreigners incompatible with German culture, but his regrettable mistake was not “returning them all to Israel”. From there it’s a simple commitment to ensuring the racial integrity of the “Israeli homeland” by restricting the immigration and citizenship of “Israelis in denial” who are guilty of “autoantisemitism” for not wanting to “go where they belong”.

Personally, I did not find that paying dues to a liberal anticommunist organization for the opportunity to do unpaid labor funneling donations to the Democratic Party was a worthwhile investment of my time, effort, or money. Others experiences may vary.

He doesn’t remember that?

No

Every imperial media outlet would agree that the US blowing up Nord Stream is exactly the sort of “disinformation” that they want to harden their population against. The prevailing concern isn’t the accuracy of the information that a population is presented, the concern is who controls access to that information.

If anything, I think the heightened cultural emphasis on “propaganda” is a byproduct of the consolidation of who is permitted to define “truth” for a population. “Propaganda” is essentially any speech or idea that originates from outside or contradicts the established arbiter of “truth”. Whether or not a thing accurately reflects or conflicts with empirical reality has no bearing on whether it’s considered “propaganda”.

I don’t think “propaganda” is really a useful term anymore, if it ever was, to describe the accuracy or inaccuracy of a piece of information. It only really describes whether the effect that information has is helpful or harmful to a particular ruling class. It’s more a value judgement than a measure of accuracy.

I always assumed that was a deliberate business decision to drive anti-tax sentiment among consumers by charging more than the posted price.

Elon Musk is afraid to go on this sub because of woke

But how are you gonna file your taxes when the IRS starts requiring a Meta account for citizenship verification?

I’ll bite: “Hurricane Katrina never happened.”

It’s an byproduct of this site’s podcast fandom origin. Some people don’t understand that Chapo’s “bullying is cool” bit is comedic irony aimed at wealthy journalists and politicians on twitter who never actually experience bullying and just have no context for seeing negative feedback to their broadly unpopular opinions.

It’s also just common regional chauvinism. The same people here who say stuff like “just open a window dipshit, it’s worse where I live and I think it’s comfortable!” will go on to lament the seriousness of climate change elsewhere, then go right on to another post about low temperatures in winter and comment something like “just put on a sweater dipshit, it’s worse where I live and I think it’s comfortable!”
