Also extremely incompetent. They were warned she was tricky to put an IV in, tried anyway and fucked it up so the drug went in the muscle instead. Then they just kind of stopped trying and put another shot in the muscle as well. So they fucked up her arms real good, but the poison never went where it was supposed to go.

I’m guessing the people applying to these jobs probably aren’t the cream of the crop. But why would they be?

The rest of the world is largely getting their cues from the US, though. I wish they wouldn’t, but with the massive presence of US media and popular culture, the propaganda hits more than just the US.

He does. Paxton stated that his poll numbers were hurt by Trump’s midterm convention. Trump doesn’t respond well to comments like that.

That whole premise doesn’t make sense. At the time of voting, you do not know what party would be in the majority. With slightly different results nationwide, Fetterman could have been the tipping point in the Senate. If he voted with Democrats even just a single time in those conditions, that would be better than Oz.

If we’re looking at his current impact given the results we got, it’s probably better to consider what he voted against. Democrats obviously can’t pass anything right now, but which Republican bills have failed? Not a lot, Republicans mostly vote in lockstep, but there have been a couple of budget bills, and most importantly the SAVE act failed by a single vote. Fetterman voted against it. With Oz in that seat it would almost certainly have passed, making it a lot easier for Republicans to ratfuck the midterms.

Regarding your comments on Fetterman reflecting poorly on Democrats, I have never seen anyone make this claim before. In general, people understand that Democrats don’t control Fetterman, and whatever he says only reflects poorly on himself. This is a lot like how we felt about Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin. The sentiment I’m seeing is to primary them next time and move on.

I also find it cute that you announce preemptive victory if I don’t respond to your comment, considering I already said I was going to disengage. This time around I’m actually dropping the thread, though, so feel free to lay the logical fallacies on thick in your inevitable reply.

There’s certainly going to be lawsuits claiming it’s effectively a decompilation as well. We’ll see how it goes.

Name one vote any of the other Democrats made a difference on. They’re in the minority, none of their votes can do shit!

I have to assume you’re arguing in bad faith at this point. I’m going to disengage from this conversation.

Whether it qualifies as a clean room implementation is going to spark some debate (and some lawsuits).

That’s self-contradictory. If he’s sneakily voting with Democrats now just to flip when they’re in the majority, why would he say that stuff and blow his cover? Is he being sneaky or not? Make up your mind.

I think it’s far more likely that he disagrees with Democrats on some high profile stuff, but still agrees and votes with the Democrats for a bunch of other stuff. That’s still better than having Dr. Oz, who would vote in lockstep with Republicans on absolutely everything.

You could say that about anyone in the minority party at any time. You’re assuming Fetterman would change his voting pattern with Democrats in the majority, with no data to back up that assertion.

I don’t like Fetterman either, but the time to fight him is in the primary. In the general election you pick the lesser evil, and the lesser evil is never the Republican.

You think Dr. Oz would have been better? I have my doubts.

Yes. In old planes every seat has an ashtray.

Instructions unclear, put a D20 in the fuel tank.

In the most roundabout way possible. Just remove the tax on undyed diesel, then.

I guess Canada doesn’t, but what’s the other one?

Depends on my mood. 95% of the time the ramen on the left is superior, but once in a while you get a hunger which only instant ramen can satisfy.

Didn’t the DNC largely get taken over by progressives already? Which is probably why progressives are sometimes winning primaries now: The DNC aren’t ratfucking them anymore.

For those complaining that the DNC not endorsing progressives until after they won the primary – that’s what “not ratfucking the primary” looks like. The DNC is not supposed to play favorites in the primary.

It’s going to take a while before there’s traction in actual Congress, though, because they take longer to replace. But as soon as you have enough progressives to get actual leverage, you’re going to start seeing a lot more happening.

I do, but I’m not hoping for it.

Uh, the guy in the meme got away with it. What am I missing here?

The gullible out of touch at the other end of the age bracket are the ones making the laws.

Perfectly logical. Both showering and not showering is fine. It’s the transition which sucks, where you’re cold and naked without any warm water hitting you.
