Re: Vivek ramaswamy
“I hope that I can continue to be a part of making that ‘a more perfect union,'” the 84-year-old Supreme Court Justice told the jam-packed Marc Theater, referencing the famous opening line of the Constitution. “The idea of a Constitution that is still being perfected but is ever more inclusive is something that will drive me. It’s a tremendous honor that I have this job and this huge responsibility.”
Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Re: Vivek ramaswamy

(pssst…that why they’re called that)

It was an "old" (84 - as it says in your post) Jewish woman who died with cancer and while she was greatly admired, she kind of fucked Liberals - so you should probably be a fan of hers.
On a semi related side note, if she had died with Covid I would have expected an oh well, she was going to die anyways, so who cares, from you. Well, she wasn't fat so maybe not. You tell me.
No, not a Justice who wanted to "change the Constitution". A Justice that right there in your post was "referencing the famous opening line of the Constitution" and then said - "The idea of a Constitution that is still being perfected but is ever more inclusive is something that will drive me. It’s a tremendous honor that I have this job and this huge responsibility".
YOU have a problem with that? I feel ANY and EVERY Supreme Court Justice has a duty and responsibility to feel that way. You disagree?

Biden is the deep states puppet, nothing more

America 2023 = Having to deal with satire and bigotry being the same thing at times - and how people are either massively offended or not offended at all and should probably be something in-between?

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
That's dumb. It's satire. I don't agree with it and think the regular framing of all conservatives (so, like, half the people who vote) as bigots is lazy and inaccurate. But when the newspaper calls this bigotry - I just find that appalling.

That's why I open so many of my FB posts with: Just because you're a republican doesn't mean you're a bigot, it just means you're OK with bigotry.
In my experience, both of the republicans I know who aren't bigots, appreciate the distinction.

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
I just take issue with the fact that a newspaper is essentially attacking satire itself as a form of expression.
A better response from them would have been to find a cartoonist to create one satirizing the left's tendency to call everyone racist.

Much like nearly "everyone" who criticizes Israel is considered antisemitic.

Re: Vivek ramaswamy
That's a pretty shitty comparison. The comparison there would be not everyone who criticizes a black person is racist. And it's true - but it depends on the criticism. But that's exactly what some liberals pulled during the Obama years, calling anyone who criticizes him racist. Just like there are some, though I'd say far far far fewer, who call any criticism of Israel antisemitic. I certainly don't. But I sure as hell call anti-Zionism antisemitic.
Re: Vivek ramaswamy
People who've been here a while got the reference, I regret that you didn't.

Bernie has some quote like “it’s not antisemitic to be critical of a militant extremist right-wing government in Israel”
