The GOP is just the party of spineless cowards at this point, and they deserve to be ruined.

They’re terrified of Trump starting his own party.

Re: Potato Head

The article I read said that Mr. Potato Head and Mrs. Potato head will continue to be sold at such. It's the entire brand that is merely being changed from "Mr. Potato Head" to simply "Potato Head." Which actually strikes me as being more accurate, considering they have multiple members of the Potato Head family. Maybe they want to add more? Make the hair gray and call it Grandpa and Grandma Potato Head. Add in some "lil' spud" Baby Potato Heads. Etc.
“Hold that Tot — your main spud, MR. POTATO HEAD isn’t going anywhere!” the company said. “While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the ‘MR.’ I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD.”

Former U.S. Gymnastics Coach Charged With Human Trafficking
The former U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach John Geddert, who owned a gym where athletes said they were sexually assaulted by the former team doctor Lawrence Nassar, was charged with human trafficking, criminal sexual conduct and other crimes, prosecutors said on Thursday.

Mr. Geddert was the head coach of the 2012 Olympic gymnastics team and formerly owned and coached at Twistars, a gymnastics club located in Dimondale, a suburb of Lansing, Mich.

Dana Nessel, Michigan’s attorney general, announced the charges on Thursday at an afternoon news conference. Mr. Geddert faces 20 counts of human trafficking — including 14 counts of forced labor resulting in injury and six counts of trafficking a minor — as well as charges of racketeering, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree criminal sexual assault and lying to a police officer.
We just recently watched a documentary on Netflix called Athlete A that chronicles the Nassar story. I hope everyone involved in perpetrating and covering up these horrors dies in a gigantic tire fire.
Geddert took the easy way out and offed himself.

Neocon's back in business.

The Biden administration conducted an airstrike against alleged Iranian-linked fighters in Syria on Thursday, signaling its intent to push back against violence believed to be sponsored by Tehran.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the attack, the first action ordered by the Biden administration to push back against alleged Iranian-linked violence in Iraq and Syria, on a border control point in eastern Syria was “authorized in response to recent attacks against American and coalition personnel in Iraq, and to ongoing threats.”

Why do we have American service men to get shot at there?

I was gonna ask something similar earlier today. For the democrats in this thread, do you have any confidence that Biden represents your values? Not on the face because he can talk all he wants but in action

Not entirely sure. The meme above is a good example. Foreign policy seems to stay the same regardless of president.

I also think of the political compass stuff where a lot of I have Biden as well as Obama in the top right portion

Of course that's not a perfectly objective measure. And I don't mean you shouldn't have voted for Biden, of course he's better than Trump, but it feels like for the past what...40+ years? All presidents have been different shades of the same archetype with small variations

I feel like most liberals fall in the bottom left. Hell, I fall in the bottom left and I consider myself a centrist.

also I don't mean that as a"gotchya" or anything. Just curious

I'm guessing most answers will be "no I don't think Biden represents liberalism but he has the best chance to beat Trump" which I get, but according to that (likely flawed) chart, no major Dem candidates other than Sanders are on the left side

I don't have strong feelings about what happened. I don't know the details and will have read about it tomorrow. I think Trump should have obliterated that airport In Syria a few years ago when he make that token attack if that helps whatever you are looking for.
