Today in Fascism

Both parties have litmus tests. Can you name a Democrat who favors right to work laws or a ban on second trimester abortions?

You may happen to agree or disagree with those positions. But it’s any Democrat who is on the wrong side of thise two is in for a very tough time.
Standards maybe, litmus test not exactly. Allegiance to one man is the GOP now and authoritarianism.

If you can't name a counterexample, it's a litmus test.

Democrats do not tolerate anti-union ideas in their caucus. There are 50 Senators in the Dem caucus. Can you name one who opposes prevailing wage? Or a Republican who supports a wealth tax?

Any time you have 50 people who all think exact the same, it's a sure sign that they aren't thinking.

You are talking policy while I am talking ass kissing. Apples and oranges.
And “Republicans” “conservatives” don’t believe the same things they did at the beginning of the 2016 primary cycle. Dems pretty much still believe the same things and remain true believers in democracy, not hypocrisy.

There seems to be some sign that conservatives are digging themselves out from under t's diapers and becoming an honest political choice again.

It will be a long time before I trust any of them again.

A very few, like Cheney and Romney, deserve respect. The rest were spineless little toadies.

If you have any doubt on where today’s GOP stands, look at the house vote on whether to hold Trump officials in contempt for refusing to testify.

Two Republicans voted for accountability. 203 voted against.

Kudos to Cheney and Kinsinger. But the rest do not look like a group capable of digging themselves out from Trump’s diapers, as you put it.

I don't consider many of the current Republicans in Congress to be conservatives. They have become opportunistic t-cultists.

Being rude is an industry. I didn’t see many hats, t-shirts, hoodies, flags, bumper stickers, all sizes of stickers, banners, billboards, etc. rudely complaining about the previous resident. There were some but the message wasn’t as blatantly crude. The constantly aggrieved aren’t afraid to show how fragile they are. Women cried over Hillary’s loss then organized. These people find anything as an excuse to pout.

I remember t-shirts with “86 43”. Not crude, but certainly a reference to political violence.

(86 is slang for kill. 43 referred to the 43rd president.)

I didn’t know that.

I worked in the restaurant industry in my younger years and it was used all the time to indicate being out of an item

Never heard of it. I’m sure all kinds of things have been put out but not at this level (I see it everywhere in Arizona) and not a message pretty much everyone from 8 to 80 knows the meaning of. Do you know what Blink-182 means? Most don’t and yes it is crude as well.

My kids went to Poway HS so they explained it to me.
 
86 is slang for throw it out in my experience.
There are more line chefs than mobsters. The restaurant definition was bound to become more popular.

Eventually, someone will devise a sex or drugs reference, and that one will replace the others.
 
"They are nothing more than dirty, stinking niggers…. We are being forced into a corner by these enemies of the People. If it is a civil war they want, they will get it in spades. Perhaps the best way to pull us back from the brink is a good public lynching.”

-- Hampton Virginia Electoral Board Chair David Dietrich, referring to the Secretary of Defense, among others.

He resigned today after initially refusing to do so when that public FB posting was reported by Virginia newspapers.

I thought that was gonna be a quote from 1860, but nooooo, that kinda thing is still alive (even more so in recent years) and being unashamedly bandied about in certain circles. Some places that kind of talk is just everyday conversation.

You.....Are a Fool and a LIAR.

It is not crude.

" Allow me to explain: DeLonge and Blink’s co-founder Mark Hoppus have for years responded to questions about the name’s origins with a variety of joke answers, collected self-satisfyingly in a sidebar in the band’s 2001 book Blink-182: Tales From Beneath Your Mom. Explanations of “182” include the number of times Al Pacino’s character Tony Montana says “fuck” in Scarface, the number of the ship on which Hoppus’s grandfather served in the Marines, and Hoppus’s ideal weight. Ultimately, though, the book claims that the number is meaningless. The band was first christened Duck Tape, then simply Blink. They added the digits after Cheshire Cat caught the attention of an Irish band with the same name, who issued a cease-and-desist. In a 2010 interview with Amy Schumer (who briefly hosted a Fuse show with Hoppus!?), Hoppus says the group chose the number on the spot during a phone call with their record label. "
