Republicans: the crazy ass congressperson who has credible sexual assault charges pending against him should stay on his committees because Trump likes him.

Democrats: let's tear down the person who did more than anyone else to flip Georgia and give us the senate because she took her mask off for a second to take a picture.
 
Teen suffers apparent overdose from fentanyl-laced marijuana at Connecticut high school, police say
https://thehill.com/changing-americ...suffers-apparent-overdose-from-fentanyl-laced

According to the Bloomfield Police Department, the overdose is believed to have been caused by fentanyl-laced marijuana. Fentanyl is 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine and the primary driver of drug overdose deaths in the United States, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Thursday’s incident comes less than a month following a previous fentanyl overdose at a nearby school.

The Hartford Police Department and EMS responded to the Sport and Medical Sciences Academy on Jan. 13 for a report of an unconscious 13-year-old student suffering an apparent fentanyl overdose. EMS performed CPR on the teen before transporting him to Connecticut Children’s Hospital. He died two days later.

The police discovered about 40 bags of powdered fentanyl in two classrooms and the gymnasium at the school and later located an additional 100 bags of fentanyl in the teenager's bedroom. It’s unknown how the teenager acquired the drugs.



How did the young man acquire it? Good to know......but where are the majority of these deadly drugs sourced from? Is the supply slowing down or accelerating here in 2022 ?

Should be interesting to see how Nbc and Lester Holt decide to edit the Super Bowl sit-down with 46. Yikes.

It's supposed to be a big party day :dancing:
 
Georgia (the country) can certainly attest to the dangers of Olympic Games.

I still want to hold on to hope that Ukraine proper seems a chunk too big for Putin, though. It needs to be considered that while the occupation of Crimea happened quite openly, Russia was extremely careful to keep up the appearance that there were no troops in Donbass.

There's so much uncertainty even within expert circles about whether Putin is still a rational actor who skillfully plays his reputation for being capable of anything in order to get the best deal, or has he himself gone so far down the rabbit hole that he is fully committed to the belief that only an invasion into Ukraine can prevent some dangerous NATO expansion. And even among those who think he's still grounded in reality, no one's quite sure if he may not moved himself into a dead end which he will find impossible to escape from other than in a confrontational way.

So at the end of the day the problem remains, no one can say with authority whether or not a Russian invasion into Ukraine is going to happen or nothing to be worried about.

They present complex solutions to complex problems. Their voters expect results and are mad when they don’t get it.

Republicans sell fear and loathing. Their voters expect revenge and feel thwarted by the other side when they don’t get it.

100%

The biggest thing standing in the way of success for the democratic party is not Trumpism, the GOP, coronavirus, the economy, Russia, murder hornets, Newman, the NFL's overtime rules or even voter suppression.

The biggest thing standing in the way of success for the democratic party is the democratic party. Everything has to be complex and perfect. Take some fucking wins you hosers.

Problem solving will be easier when one party has the House, Senate, and White House.

See a lot of comments about how can the USA be trusted when we keep saying war is imminent, but we’re trying to blow any surprise by Putin based on intelligence / spying we’ve picked up.

The messaging today does seem to be more urgent than what was put out last week.

I hope the West is ready for any cyber attacks that’ll come our way after we sanction Putin and his inner circle.

I still worry about what Russia and others were able to hack into during the Trump years.

:eyebrow: Let me know when the composition of Congress is more to your liking.

The current administration could've put forward a more palatable general spending bill and passed the thing. They chose not to, and the debate is now over with an !

We have trillions (and trillions) in emergency covid dollars from presidents Trump & Biden already roiling around the economy. Everyone knows how their day-to-day bills have changed...let's take some time to digest it all :shrug:

The more accurate quote is:
Problem solving will be easier when the Democratic party has the House, Senate, and White House.

Republicans show time and time again that they can't do shit except pass tax scams that favour the rich and find further ways to destroy the democracy that is the USA.
 
At some point there has to be some accountability right ? Trump stole classified documents and kept them at his FL residence.

Any other human being would be immediately indicted for such a thing.

We all held out hope that Mueller was going to drop the hammer, and he did lay out multiple obstruction of Justice, no one bothered to pursue.

Garland seems to be in the same mindset.

It would be nice if the 7m+ votes that Biden won by were better reflected in the *evenly split* Senate and 6-seat majority House, but that points to deeper structural issues I know you’re aware of.

Could they?

Mr Manchin’s political strategy/brand is “what do the Democrats want, and how can I stop them?”

Ms Sinema’s brand is incoherence.

These are not D versions of Romney, Murkowski, or Collins.
 
The issue is not that the Democrats are too complex. The issue is that they means-test things to the point where they become useless, or compromise to the point where things become useless. They offer nothing packaged as something. But materially nothing is nothing, and the people who need material improvements notice when they don't get better.

The Democrats are bad at messaging because people realize you're selling them bullshit when it actually arrives.

The Republicans' offer is things getting significantly worse, with a group of people to blame for it getting worse. The Democrats offer nothing as conditions continue to deteriorate, and a guilt trip for not being appreciative of what they've done for you.
