I had the same two nights off as my dude so this weekend he helped me fight off a bunch of multi-floral rose briars (anybody familiar with farms will understand the struggle) and attended a family event, but it's great to see the irk levels remain pretty even.

What's happening with the news?

I think its beneficial to point out how quickly paradigms can shift.

What used to fit under the definition of liberal will now get you labeled as a conservative. 

To expound upon this a bit:

 - Wanting to hold govt to fiscal responsibility and accountability is now labeled as a conservative talking point. 

- Not wanting kids to be Frankensteined is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Pointing out the clear and obvious two tiered justice system is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Not wanting experimental drugs forced upon a population with threats of loss of employment, fines and censorship of speech (this went beyond threats to blatant actions) is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Pointing out the crazy amounts of propaganda being churned out by media is now a conservative talking point.

- Voting for people outside of the duopoly and saying that you wish more people would is now considered a conservative talking point.

- Not wanting continuous wars is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

- Saying you believe in equality instead of parity is now labeled as a conservative talking point.

In fact, these were all considered to be liberal values not very long ago. Definitions don't usually change that quickly, but paradigms do. 

Hell, it's so ridiculous that calling somebody a conservative doesn't even have the sting that is intended anymore. Its a complete lack of understanding and critical thinking that drives this behaviour. It's remarkable at how easily this was done because it didn't rely on force. All it required was volunteers for the job.

Just saw a poll that 54% of Republicans believe the traditional family "gives children the best chance to succeed".

Actually seems a little low.  But Democrats?  Only 16% agree.  Unbelievable.  You wouldn't think this would be political or that we would be divided over it, but is the tail wagging the dog here?  Do Democrats push these policies because that's how their voters feel, or do voters feel that way because Dems push these policies?

Has anybody else heard that the feds have raided P Diddy's homes and that he's on the run right now?

If so, what for?

Might need its own thread.  Looked like SWAT and/of FBI....no less than 3 govt agencies.  Saw a few analysts claim you only get that response (raided with assault weapons, the real ones not the pretend AR-15s) when there's drugs AND weapons involved.  And also sex trafficking - speculation at least one victim is underage.

Have not heard he's on the run.  Was supposedly traveling to NY, but was not at the homes raided.  Haven't heard of a warrant for his arrest or anything.  But if I'm BILLIONAIRE P-diddy facing R Kelly charges, I'm already in a place with no extradition...

I think AOC started off as a true progressive agitator before the establishment made her get her mind right (ie: Bernie Sanders).

Saw a blurb about how Beyonce may be starting a fashion trend with her new country style....And I wondered - isn't that cultural appropriation?

We've come a long, long way in 10 years from when country music was considered racist.

Her “country” song is fucking trash.

If those guys had thought it through, they should have beat his ass knowing they'd be out on cashless bail with a misdemeanor.

Stewart responded to the backlash he was receiving in an X post on Wednesday: "OMG!! I've been caught doing something not remotely similar to Trump! I guess all I need to do now is start a fraud college, steal classified docs, bankrupt casinos, pay hush money, grab pussies, discriminate in housing, cheat at golf and foment insurrection and you'll revere me!"

We need quid-pro-quo vigilante justice.

These victims should get the to have a champion, of their choosing, cold-cock these losers.  Mike Tyson would probably be happy to do it for $25 a pop.

Or turn it into a game show.  She gets to choose from 3 doors - one has Connor McGregor behind it, another has Sammy Sosa with a bat, and the third is an ill-tempered German Shepard.
