"Take control of what they are saying." Oh HELL NO fucker. LIKE HELL you will
We are NOT about to let some former billionaire from another country tell us to give up our basic rights. WE ALREADY HAVE BILLIONAIRES *IN THIS COUNTRY* TRYING TO TAKE THEM AWAY!
Go back to sucking up & groveling to Bibi
Part of me is wondering if he is in the Epstein files and is now scared shitless so he voted no
Pfft. My law degree is better than yours. I studied law at the University of Late Night Wikipedia Browsing.
Resign NOW.
The Dems had a god damn royal flush in your hand and you guys FOLDED.
You are a weak and ineffectual leader and your party just handed over all your leverage to the Republicans for nothing more than a loose promise they will break. You destroyed any chance of extending ACA subsidies.
I threatened a primary this morning on both of my senators unless they call for Schumer to step down from Dem leadership. Enough is enough.
I hope everything Senate Democrat that voted yes enjoys their last term in office, because you are ALL getting primaried.
Your only "concession" was a "pinky promise" from a party that will happily lie, cheat, and use you until the cows come home
This is treason against every voter that voted blue
To every Senate Democrat that just voted to end the shutdown by sacrificing ACA subsidies and healthcare for millions of Americans while capitulating, get ready to get primaried for betraying a LARGE swath of your voter base tonight.
Enjoy your last terms in office before you're all voted out.
Republicans: "How can we blame Dems for the shutdown while getting people to trust us and side with us instead?
Oh...I know!! Let's forge some emails!!! That'll show people we are respectable, trustworthy, and worth voting for! GENIUS!!!"

Same here. Voted early in NJ for Mikie
Yeah that was an odd decision
THEY DID!! They brought back the laser peacock!!
Exactly
"You know what fans want to see more of at the #NHLDraft? Garry Bettman!"
said no one, ever
#NHLDraft: "Congrats on getting drafted!! Let's meet your new team.......*Zoom call connection interrupted*. Oh wait nvm, you'll meet them tomorrow!" 🤣
How many ex-Flames does it take to beat the Oilers in a Cup final?
If I had a nickel for every time a bunch of ex-Flames beat the Oilers in a Cup final, I'd have two nickels....which isn't a lot but it's still hilarious it happened twice in a row. 🤣
Of course it's Marchand lol
Marchand probably: "Trade me to the Panthers. I feel like I haven't traumatized the Leafs enough."
How is it always the Bruins that beat you guys? Even when you're not playing the Bruins.....
*is not caring in your eyes.
And you've clarified that anything under "willing to risk danger to yourself of others close to you to take a stand" is not caring.
Which is very black or white thinking.
Don't tell me I don't care. My family LIVED THROUGH that. I want fascism all over the world to end. It's literal hell.
I couldn't agree more! I just think bashing people without some level of empathy or understanding isn't good for anyone.
Again, he could very well be wholeheartedly loving Putin. I'll never know.
But just because you say you "have seen no evidence" doesn't mean there isn't, you know where to look, or that there ever will be. If a threat like that were ever levied, we would NEVER know. Putin wouldn't let that leak.
If he was a citizen of a free country like the US and his family were here and he were publicly supporting Trump, I'd say yes fuck him. But his family lives under a dictatorship where even oligarchs have had family disappear for not being loyal enough to Putin.
Dictators crave absolute loyalty.
and we only find out decades later that they did it under duress out of fear and no one knew that bc that was kept under wraps.
It's a CLASSIC part of the authoritarian playbook. Pressure and blackmail of public figures under the cover of silence.
I hate how the Internet only thinks in black and white. You either stand for the right thing, screw the consequences, or you support it fully in your heart. There's no middle ground
Despite the fact that there have been MANY times in history where public figures have publicly supported a dictator
It's easy for us to take a stand in the US/Canada because our right to take a stand is *protected*. We don't risk jail or death or worse for speaking out. So we expect everyone to take that martyr-like stance or denounce them immediately as a sympathizer without considering their situation.
My argument is that I've seen what living under a dictator looks like, and I have no fucking idea what's happening and refuse to pass judgement.
It's easy to say you'd denounce a criminal even if you're risking your family's safety to do so. It's much harder to put your money where your mouth is.
Also yes. If he was getting "you'll show Putin in a good light as a public representative of the Russian people or else", would you or I know? You don't think Putin is capable of that?
I'm not claiming that. I'm claiming I have no idea and refuse to pass judgement of a guy not knowing his circumstances especially when I know people in a communist/totalitarian regime who faced similar terrors. Hard for me to judge without knowing all the facts.
