Not for the upper managers though, right? I've also had clearances, and I know about some shocking things that some of the government managers did while never so much as being investigated for them.

Contractors are different though.

I honestly had to think about it for a hot second first because people talk mad shit about AOC as you said

AOC called Stein unserious, so the clown comment is about Stein.

Firing squads have some guns that are loaded as blanks so nobody is really sure who fired the fatal shot, and in the case of Trump I think this is unfair to the people firing the guns.

I don't think it was a bluff, unfortunately. Neither do I think they should not criticize the Republicans for their behavior.

Nintendo of America only allowed the blood in Mortal Kombat to look like sweat on the SNES. IIRC, the second game had blood though.

That bill was a super republican bill, I honestly do not know why the Democrats keep bragging about this as if every "bipartisan" bill has merit.

I've been attempting to respond to your original comment. The Democrats are not using this to brag. They are using it to highlight the failures of the Republican party.

I walked around knocking on doors in an unfriendly neighborhood for Bernie Sanders, so you don't need to talk to me about criticizing Democrats or wanting them to move left.

You're not understanding me. Yes, the bill was awful and should not have had their support.

So given that, what exactly is the Republican justification for not supporting it? That needs to be highlighted so that perhaps enough GOP voters just stay home on election day - especially in swing states.

Like it or not, Republicans must not win this election so that our democracy survives. We will have lots of work to do after the election to push the Democrats back to supporting the average person and not the rich, but that's the next fight and not this one!

Hold your nose and vote for democracy.

That only underscores the point of advertising their refusal to pass it: it should have fully satisfied Republicans and given them most of what they want, but the Orange Shit Stain said not to pass it so they could complain about immigration during the election.

Democrats should use it as a loud and constant example of how Republicans are not leaders and have no solutions for America.

Well said. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Or as that war criminal Henry Kissinger said, "there are no allies, only temporarily-shared interests."

You're permabanned too then, and the living can't hear you. There will be no Sto'Vo'Kor for us.

Because every day their investments in open source projects are making our ecosystem better?
