    Red team shuns the rule of law.

    deceit, wanton rule-breaking, a willful disregard for collateral damage—is, in real life, more likely to get one branded a winner

    if you can get away with it.

    It's the first opportunity to do so since the Twin Towers went down.

    Nobody is going to piss this opportunity away.

    These states are hiring Covid trackers by the thousands, stockpiling information 24/7.

    You murder someone and they take your name.

    We need a secession. All the lefties that want their utopian authoritarian world can have their own territory. Those that want freedom and are not afraid of fear mongering from MSM can have their own Confederacy.

    Yep. And we've only ourselves to blame.

    Remember RICO statutes? "Oh, it's only for major drug dealers. Regular people have nothing to worry about."

    What'd they do? Catch a john & a , seize the car then turn it over into their fleet for undercover duties.

    It's what they do. Anything less is a mistake in their book.
    If it doesn't work, they'll get out the hammer and chisel tomorrow and pound away 'til it works.

    It's a great writeup by Taibbi, and if you read past the headline, he mentions clearly that Republicans have abandoned them a long time ago (he's obviously right)

    This is far from a new condemnation on Democrats. He points out areas like the Patriot Act, which they always supported and clearly clashes with other civil rights issues.

    Something I think most here have denounced as clearly something the party (and the previous admin) has been wrong about (nobody would expect any better from Republicans).

    Unfortunately, there's still a big section of Democrats in Washington that are the old warmonger school... Biden is one of those guys too. Then again, I suppose it could be worse. Your party could be co-opted by somebody like Trump, tbh

    Republicans throughout this time were usually as bad or worse on these issues,
    Since TSA agrees with the article, I assume he agrees with this statement in the article

    Being a warmonger doesn't necessarily mean there's going to be war. And frankly, war is here no matter who's in charge, so that's really out of the question.

    With that said, having a clown be the face of your party is clearly destructive in the long run. I will always take a semi-competent person, even if I don't agree with their foreign policy.

    no co-opting.

    Trash is 100% Repug, but being so more blatantly than the Repugs.

    Euro-white male supremacy, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, America-first nationalism, cutting taxes, govt dysfunctional, mortal deregulation, suckering Christians on social issues.

    100% Repug.

    this will always be a problem in this country.

    The rights of individual privacy versus the good of the whole.

    You have a credit card with your name on it.
    You have basically been put on a list and given people the opportunity to take your money.
    but you will live with it just like the rest of us because of convenience. merely because you want to buy stuff. yet you worry about lists of possibly dangerous people...
    this will always be a problem in societies that try to interact through information.

    Snowden probably did one of the greatest illegal things in the past decade.


    realize the problem and try to mitigate it, or go live on an island.
