No, but 100 dead troops is enough to grandstand about to get enough outrage to justify an all-out war in the region.

No, it’s more like “if Larry gets a 10% grade reduction for turning his paper in a day late to you, then I shouldn’t be getting this 20% grade reduction for turning this paper in a day late to you.” It’s more of a call for things to be fair and give everybody equal treatment.

There was a recent court decision regarding Donald Trump that, more or less, appointing a special counsel for the purposes of DOJ impartiality is not constitutionally acceptable. As a result, Hunter Biden, who was investigated and prosecuted via special counsel in order to maintain impartiality from the DOJ since his father is the sitting president, essentially argued that “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” Meaning that if Donald Trump should have his case dismissed under the pretext of special counsel being an invalid idea, then so too should Hunter Biden. That decision was already generally seen as fucking silly, but the silliness was put on full display for partisan hacks and their audience.

I was certain that a gander was a group of geese. Why? Because apparently everybody who has ever used the phrase “what’s good for the goose is good for the gander” around me was using it wrong. I just learned this week that a gander is a male goose. So based on misuse, I thought that the phrase meant that what’s beneficial for one is beneficial for the greater group, but what it really means is that what’s acceptable in the case for one should be equally acceptable for others in the same situation.

I’m nearly 36 and I would say that I’m smarter than most people, but this was a gaping hole in my knowledge that was pretty damn humbling to learn of and correct.

Bullshit. I’m all of those things. The important part here is a piece that you haven’t brought up: do you want freedom, opportunity, and prosperity for everybody or just for you and your fellow cis white guy gun-likers? Republicans aren’t interested in feeding children or treating the ill unless they or theirs are the children and/or ill. You’re either arguing in bad faith or aren’t paying enough attention to understand that none of what you claim to be has been demonized in any way by either party.

And why do you think that is? Could it be because media outlets are businesses which tend to benefit from Republican policies of helping businesses? And so they feign impartiality but frame stories in a way that serve right wing agendas?

Careful, conservatives have historically been against desegregating spaces.

Lmao. Yes. And I own the book. You should read it at some point. And understand that it’s satire.

Now I can’t tell whether you’re doubling down on your whooshing of me or you just got whooshed really fucking hard by his obvious character that he was playing.

I can’t tell whether I’m being whooshed by you or you were whooshed by his republican character he was playing in his Colbert Report years.

Just dropping a link to the relevant, most recent upload from Some More News aka Cody’s Showdy. TL;DW: the cyber truck is an oversized, overpriced, unreliable, terrible design that’s dangerous to everybody in and around it.
