there is no way a sane person thinks thats a win for JD. there is nothing there that i ready that is remotely a win and if he wants to complain about a culture where congressmen dont act like whiny children should look inward at his shitty maga party
A culture that offers redemption is better than what the alternative is
"I am your retribution"
Not the same guy!
Are we talking about individuals or a culture?
We are talking about a tweet from the vice president.
But:
A culture that offers redemption is better than what the alternative is
That's what the tweet says!

This is why I don't interact with you. This is why I say you spread misinformation. This is why you get replies from me like "I wasn't talking to you."

Have a great day, warrior.

I did. I totally did. And it totally is. That’s where you’re missing his point.

A deranged lunatic with TDS intending to shoot him?

I mean, I'm open to competing theories, but I haven't heard anything.

But he didn’t shoot him. He didn’t even fire his weapon. So where’s the forgiveness? Why no redemption for him?

Well he hasn't asked for redemption like the other... Oh wait

You're trying desperately to draw some equivalence between a guy who was going to shoot someone and a guy that said something mean on the internet. Think about why this isn't working.

What's to forgive anyway? Like I said, he's a lunatic.

It's remarkable how obvious it is in retrospect to see that Republicans were always just controlled opposition, always more than willing to allow liberals to set the frame, until about now.

You don’t know he was going to shoot him. This isn’t Minority Report.

If he wasn't intending to shoot anyone, then that's even less reason to bring him up in a conversation about redemption!

But while we're on the subject of assassination, isn't it weird that we still don't know anything about this guy?

Disagree on that. I think the red team was trying to follow public sentiment and in this specific case I think that the public was convinced and the red team ceded that "words are literal violence" to the left about a decade and a half ago, but as the left's behavior signaled that words it didn't like were in fact worse than actual literal violence being committed in the streets and terms like *phobe and *ist became weapons used to hurt people, the pendulum swung the other way. I worry it's swung too far though as Musk's behavior seems unprofessional and out of control. He needs to tone it down before federal courts go in and reverse DOGE's actions or all he did was burn his good will to the ground.

Not when he’s being detained for it.

We are really equating edgelord posts on internet with attempted murder. That is happening.

B was right. We need a 30 day time out here.
