I voted for this man, what a fucking joke. Hearing him say shit like this really makes me regret voting for the guy.

I mean.. he is right though. I dont like him either but its better to have an opposition.


True. But why republicans and not, say, an actual left wing party that resembles the popular parties of Canada/most of Europe ?

Overall, it seems the protestor with the best and most unique/recognizable attire was Jake Angeli. The horns, fur, and buffalo pants, I love it. He looks like a stereotypical Viking/savage. The only thing I'd change about his outfit would be for them to get a shirt that matches or goes well with their pants. The bare chested thing is a bit too unchaste for a lot of people and he needs a shirt to deal with cold/air conditioning better.

Yes and it's fully justified in my eyes. The crowd had been chanting about killing officials and were getting closer and closer to them. A single shot is fired at the first person trying to get past a barricade and it just so happens to be a lethal one.

A centrist party would also work. Currently the US only has right and far right. That is not really befitting the "bastion of democracy and protector of the free world".

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) responded “absolutely, unequivocally not” when asked if she was considering switching to the Democratic party.

Liz Ruskin, an Alaska public radio reporter, asked Murkowski if she was planning on becoming a Democrat amid speculation of her identity with the Republican party.

“No. No. Absolutely, unequivocally not,” Murkowski replied.

Welcome to the Nekostan-e Gharbi. Our ancestors were a group of genetically enhanced Israeli cats raised by two Iranian Jewish women, Rachel Davidi and Esther Moshel. We are a constitutional monarchy where a line of benevolent and powerless feline queens “guide” the citizens or more precisely are the subject of their constant gossiping.

Current Queen: Sarah IV (House of Moshel)
Current Prime Minister: Dr. Elisheva Cohen (she is fine with Elizabeth for non-Hebrew speakers) from Likud

Wow. It's kinda impressive that, in THIS of all cases (you always alluded how rotten it is) you jump on a genuinely bad hill, defending a tragic incident and justifiying it, to the defense of a rotten system?

Cannot think of a name wrote:I think you're reading that quote wrong. He's not saying we need the current Republican Party in it's current state, it's more about the second part, a principled and strong opposition to stress test ideas. The Democrats are miiiiiiiiiiles from infallible whether you sit to the left or right of them. LIkewise, even with the best intentions whatever adjective you use to describe those further to the left than the Democratic Party (without comment about how much space that represents) aren't always going to come up with the best ideas.
I too have fondness for the ideas put forward by the Hardliners tovarich, or are the Republicans the reformers?

It gets very hard to tell, fortunately it is possible for hardliners (or reformers) like Gorbachev can come to power. I am concerned about the disobedience of the KGB Alpha Unit in putting down the insurrection, only for the KGB Alpha Unit to recover their honor by putting down the insurrection by government officials in the White House.
