You guys know that both parties are garbage and 90% of the politicians in both parties are total pieces of $#!t, right?


Yes, that is why we want to drain the swamp.

This is insufferable. You're allowing these idiots (the politicians) to cause the two of you to argue about which side is worse? Both sides are awful...

The purpose of political parties is to help their colleagues gain and keep power. The Libertarians would be the same if they were a party that actually tired to win elections.

What is the point of this, to demonstrate that a basketball coach agrees with you? Doc Rivers made his point and he did it in a very well-spoken way.

I like Doc a lot
He has some unique insights
because
He is a huge supporter of the police because he's the son of a police officer
Yet
He knows white privilege
White privilege prevented more deaths at the capital yesterday

Swamp creatures don't drain swamps; they just occupy more of the swamp than others.

We're too intellectually honest to try to actually win. Thank you for noticing!

Prove it. You can cry, "White privilege," about lots of things, and you'll often be right. You can't cry it about everything, or pointing out instances of it will lose any meaning. I've made my point and have tried to provide examples; you just keep restating your thesis.

BLM would have probably been permitted to occupy the Capitol Building for multiple days, just like they were permitted to occupy the abandoned police stations elsewhere.

I’d like to point out that not immediately arresting people doesn’t mean they won’t later be arrested. They always start making lists of people identified and collecting information on unknowns.

That's correct. In fact, the news was talking earlier about people that are actively being searched for now that everything has calmed down. Additionally, a Western PA Federal judge has as much as said that you'll do well not to be in this district if you're one of the people known to have been in the Capitol Building yesterday.

I’m legitimately worried Donny will try to pardon them on his way out the door.
