I dont go looking for any of that nonsense

i should also add AOC antagonizes it so of course she is going to get more "hate”. She loves the attention and being the moron she is, likely thinks it means she is doing her job.

Lmao. Got it. Didn't happen.

Yes bright minds like yours know to pin their opinion on the outliers they like.

Nah i am just indifferent. I dont respect any politicians. So i dont really expect them to have any standards of behavior.

Seems like a copout to me. But you do you.

Are these things systematic or one offs?

does it matter?

should we be ok with one party allowing one of its members to openly fantasize about killing another member of congress? 

or maybe should we expect that our parties maintain a level of decency that at least means we can condemn that as much as, say, Republicans who supported the infrastructure deal?

being cynical about politicians is one thing. politics can be dirty business. but there are still lines, and I tend to think sharing a video where AOC is killed and Biden is attacked by Gosar deserved a public reprimand from the party at minimum. 

because if you let that go, it just moves the line further. broken window theory congress style.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Boasts About Being Unvaccinated Against COVID-19

Of course she is unvaxxed, not wearing a mask and cheerfully spreading disease, not just of the idiot mind, but of the viral kind.

What a POS.

 

Hooray for the new GOP!!

i don't think anyone would disagree that mtg wearing a mask would benefit all americans.

Yes it matters supremely. That you cant grasp that shows youve been sucked down the drain with the emotional snowflakes.

treat it like the nothingburger it is. If you give them the attention they want, thats how you feed the extremes

Anybody with emotions, any emotions, is an emotional snow flake to you.

 

There is something wrong with you.

Nah

we all have emotions even me. But most are terrible at processing and controlling them. Which is my most are unfit to lead or teach much of anything and should be ignored.

by your own admission there aren't enough people who "are capable" of suffocating these issues. 

whether you or I like it or succumb to emotion-driven arguments loses relevance when you live in a society where how people feel about things actually matters.

acting like it doesn't matter is simply ignoring reality, and projecting your preferred but non-existent state of reality on it. it's irreconcilable.

for all your talk of how we should let the facts and data lead us, you sure do selectively ignore a lot of facts that you don't like.

and that's what aspd looks like, folks.    

 

 

Toast Jenkins thinks a member of Congress posting videos of themselves killing other members of Congress is a nothingburger because he’s a sociopath.

He is likely playing a character, and is in reality an emotional wreck who cries himself to sleep every night.

Ignoring stupid and overly emotional people in your career is probably a good thing. And it's something that's manageable because choices you make can directly impact that.

When it comes to matters that involve the public as a whole, you can't just ignore the real and tangible effects that stupid people with lizard brains and poor impulse control have on public policy and the social zeitgeist. Because it DOES effect us, and our only real ability to control that is to vote and/or get involved in politics directly. 

You can walk away from your job, your career, or even your family if the situation is untenable. 

Short of surrendering your US citizenship and living on a private island with people you've hand-picked, you cannot choose whether or not Gosar is a member of congress. Nor can you simply decide that the public reaction to something he does doesn't matter, because insofar as it effects dialog and shapes policy it DOES effect you.

A censure in Congress is just a public scolding.  I doubt Gosar even cares.

Sure. Ideally he'd also be stripped of committee memberships, but McCarthy is a feckless loser so that isn't going to happen. He's too busy figuring out how to get the 13 who voted for infrastructure pulled from their committee assignments, because obviously that is a much bigger deal than Gosar being exactly the type of emotion-driven d-bag that @ToastJenkins is arguing we should cut out of our lives and bury.

 

 

Nothing screams Freedom, like a state mandated religion.

 

The new and improved GOP.
