Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
So the Biden DOJ prosecuted and jailed the very FBI informants they planted to make it look like MAGA? And not a single one revealed the story? Truly a dizzying intellect...

Will UT Bend the Knee?
Oh he's not here to address the issues. Just wants to make sure to point out perceived hypocrisy. Obviously there's no defense to what the Trump admin is doing, so they wait to find a surly poster's reaction to criticize. It's literally the only kind of "conservative" perspective we see on this site anymore.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
I see you've adopted the ChickenSandwich and Ani approach to the CR lately - ignore everything going on, and smugly criticize Surly's reaction to the events. Swell.

Whatcha reading?
Anyone have some recs for my 9 year old daughter who is powering through books above her level? She has read all of the Percy Jackson books and their spinoffs, and this summer she read all of the Harry Potter books, and is now re-reading them. She also just read Tales of Despereaux and Ms. Frisby and the Rats of Nihm - both of which she enjoyed. I've got the Narnia books lined up. Lord of the Rings too advanced? She did tell me the other day that she really prefers fantasy, magic, etc. We tried the Redwall series about a year ago, but I think that may have been too soon, so she's not that interested in trying again. Just seems like she's in a weird period where she's probably not mature enough for some of teen content, but is advanced enough that she' may find books targeted at her age not much of a challenge?

@statsman And yet another example of a "conservative" penning paragraphs of invective against Dems and their policies, and disappears when shown IDENTICAL behavior by their side. Happens on a daily basis around here.

- Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
part of the problem is that the GOP will elevate some random's tweet as the national Dem policy. Oh, look at this woman - who's running for city council in Portland - saying that police funding should be slashed! Dems want Anarchy! And then the people who only casually pay attention, see this regurgitated by every conservative media outlet, TikTok video, Podcast, etc., and think "hmmm, Dems are crazy!"- Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?
I appreciate you coming here seeking honest discourse. I think a lot of the antagonism you're receiving is based on your dismissal of Harris based on nebulous vibes and feelings. Is there something about her policy or platform you disagreed with? is there something that appeals to you about the Trump/GOP platform? TBH, a lot of the hate towards the Dems on a national level are based on untruths, intentional misinterpretations, and stereotypes. I've mentioned this on other threads, but take a look at the legislation passed every year in California - worker protections, improving access to healthcare for all, union protections, protecting LGTBQ, sensible gun legislation, women's reproductive freedom, etc. Take a look at Harris's platform in 2024. Compare that to what's happening in Texas, other GOP states, and Project 2025 (which at this point is obviously being implemented.) But if you take a passing look at the national media, you'd think that all they do out there is make Furries the official state animal, and give "illegals" checks every month. When you compare the two, which one is more appealing to you? We need to stop voting or siding with parties/candidates based on vibes and gut feelings. Read and compare the legislation put forward by candidates. Study their policy positions. It doesn't take that much time. When you see GOP politicians whose platforms solely involve things like "making America more free, protecting our God given rights, and fighting for the constitution, ask yourself why they are unable to articulate any tangible policy. The answer is simple - their policies are unpopular with the majority of Americans. That's not an opinion - polling overwhelmingly supports this. So they deal in platitudes and feel-good slogans that, in a vacuum, are difficult to criticize. If one is a voting for the GOP these days, it really only makes sense if you fall into one of the below categories: 1) Top .01% and/or 2) believe America was a better place when their was both intentional or de facto discrimination against Blacks, women, and immigrants. And that's not even considering the current administration who just yesterday declared that Americans in the largest cities are the "enemy from within" and that they will be gleefully sending American troops into those cities to teach them a lesson. You should be able to see why when someone stands in the middle while this is happening, they are, at best, mocked, and more typically, reviled.- Do I get to start the James Talarico thread?

Memoir by a Taiwanese-American kid who went to UC Berkely in the 90's as he tried to figure out an identity despite always feeling like a foreign kid.
