He will keep threatening people, he always has. Jail him. He can be tried from custody.

I'm not sure what can be done besides packing the court, given that impeaching a federal judge requires a 2/3 senate majority, as well as the majority of the house. Republicans are not going to hold their own accountable.

It seems like it doesn't matter where the parent company pretends to be on the political spectrum, they all hate unions. I hope they remember who their customers are.

They don't form opinions so much as inherit them from authoritarians via social pressure.

DarkGamer OP , 10 months ago to Politics in News: Texas A&M will pay $1M to Black professor following botched hiring and internal review

The university had signed an offer letter in a public ceremony saying it would hire her as director in a tenured position to revive its journalism program. Soon afterward it reneged on the offer amid right-wing backlash over her work for The New York Times and interest in diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Texas A&M System acknowledged in its review that system and university administrators made mistakes in the hiring process, as certain procedures were not followed. Race and gender were not involved in any of the decisions made, the university said.

“The (Office of General Counsel) did not identify any other evidence that race was a factor in the internal hiring process. In addition, there was no evidence of gender as a factor in the hiring process,” the internal report said.

Some of the documents released with the report show what McElroy was up against.

"A win for Aggies! The leftwing "journalism" professor/DEI advocate that A&M tried to recruit won't be taking the job. After she was exposed by @Texas Scorecard for her racist beliefs, she decided staying at UT was a better fit," says a photo of a tweet under the name Michael Quinn Sullivan, the publisher of Texas Scorecard, a far-right website. The site published stories about her hiring that focused on her diversity work. The tweet that was part of a text from a board member included a photo of a Texas Tribune story about the hiring mess.

They scream and shout about "cancel culture" while pulling shit like this. Add it to the pile of right-wing hypocrisy.

DarkGamer OP , 10 months ago to Politics in News: Barr obliterates Trump's defense: 'He knew well that he had lost the election'

The way to prosecute someone in a criminal conspiracy is to get their cronies to flip on them.

DarkGamer OP , 10 months ago to Politics in News: Barr obliterates Trump's defense: 'He knew well that he had lost the election'

Something flipped a switch for him, could have been Jan 6 stuff but not entirely clear.

Criminal liability has a funny way of doing that. I suspect he's smart enough to not end up under the bus via defending or breaking laws for Trump in a losing legal battle.

DarkGamer OP , 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago) to Politics in Analysis: The Horrifying Results of Defunding The Police? - SOME MORE NEWS

They do present information in an entertainment format, but I don't see that as a bad thing. Cody & Katy do long and deep dives on subjects that might seem rather dry without the jokes and comments interspersed throughout. I think this makes it more, not less, accessible. The important thing to me is that their information is well-sourced and cited, and it is, (links and sources are available under each youtube video.)

I feel like we could use someone to fill the void left by Daily Show era Jon Stewart, as his tone and demeanor has changed a lot in his new show. He seems to be doing more of a serious presentation these days based on what I've seen of The Problem with Jon Stewart.

Trump has shown time and time again that he has no problem throwing anyone under the bus if it's in his interests. Choosing to trust him in a prisoner's dilemma is totally foolish, he's definitively proven himself untrustworthy.

I wasn't aware this clown was running as a Democrat. His father would be ashamed of what he's become.

The only reason both he and his donor are noteworthy and capable of polluting our political discourse is because of inheritance; name recognition and wealth. Were they not born connected and wealthy we never would have heard about RFK Jr. or his terrible, hateful politics.

"If elected we plan to make you and your descendants suffer as much as possible."

DarkGamer OP , 11 months ago to Politics in Analysis: Even as third indictment looms, many Republicans still stand by Trump

And they're willing to embrace all manner of cruelty, irrationality and hypocrisy in order to win. That lady at the town hall said it best, for modern Republicans politics is about, "hurting the right people."
