Discussion Thread: House Jan 6 Public Hearings, Day 9 - 10/13/2022 at 1 pm ET by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

Right now the loudest criticism of Schumer has been that he’s not done enough to address issues of climate change, but as you point out, he can’t take unilateral revolutionary action on that while Sinema and Manchin make up his majority.

People give Pelosi and Schumer a lot of flack these days, but in a time of crisis, like on Jan 6, their level of proactive competence and governing ability is reassuring and straight up patriotic.

As 49ers lament another injury on turf, a look at what the data actually shows by Gambit08 in 49ers

[–]Gambit08[S] 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Per the NFL’s own research, as shared in Tretter’s 2020 letter:

“Players have a 28% higher rate of non-contact lower extremity injuries when playing on artificial turf. Of those non-contact injuries, players have a 32% higher rate of non-contact knee injuries on turf and a staggering 69% higher rate of non-contact foot/ankle injuries on turf compared to grass.”

Get rid of artificial turf, I obviously hate that our players are always getting injured, but I want our team to beat the other because of better play and athleticism, not because an opposing teams starting player went down with a serious or season ending injury.

Vote for or donate to Barnes if you are able. Supporters of insurrection have no place in government, let alone the U.S. Senate.

Herschel Walker claims ex-girlfriend, whose identity he says he knows, is lying about abortion by Gambit08 in politics

I would have to agree, it looks like she finds herself in E Jean Carroll’s situation.

Then file a suit for defamation.

I have a sneaking suspicion you won’t though because of discovery and possible Anti-SLAPP statutes.

With a little modification and you could probably turn it into a cool looking Last of Us costume as a Clicker.

Judiciary GOP under pressure to remove tweet seen as supportive of Kanye West by Gambit08 in politics

[–]Gambit08[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, though at the risk of sounding overly cynical, I think it important to note that when it comes to disavowing anti-black and antisemtic messages, Republican priorities appear to match up with demographic voting patterns. It’s not a morality stance, one group has more political crossover potential for them.

They’ll stand by Kanye and Candace Owens for their White Lives Matter nonsense, but apparently antisemitism is when it is a bridge too far.
