@tallslenderguy, this really resonated with me as a great background on the current political landscape. even though folks may perceive my comments as more likely to be right than left i'd argue that it seems to offer a relatively non-partisan explanation. it does seem to offer some demystification. thanks very much for sharing.

Will Trump cuts result in brain drain instead of swamp drain?
nanana replied to tallslenderguy's topic in LGBT Politics
I think this is a very interesting point @tallslenderguy . However, I struggle to see the morality of putting these costs on the back of the taxpayer when they end up as massive corporate profits for big pharma especially. It does seem like a waste to slash and burn programs that generate value but I’d like to see that as leverage at least in negotiations on drug prices and other consumer goods that benefit from this tax redistribution. -
I think you have a great point @tallslenderguy it’s always incredibly reductionistic to speak about giant groups in short sentences. I’m sure you’re right that many Democrats didn’t feel particularly well represented (this is not intended to be a partisan point true of Republicans and even my party the Libertarians). I regret structuring the headline I created without more laser focus. I was reacting to memories of conversations with a small sample of Democrats I spoke with many in my family who seemed almost programmed to regurgitate talking points. I don’t think only Democrats do this BTW think a large cohort of partisans of any stripe put loyalty to the group over loyalty to truth. Another dynamic I was pressing in particular was Jake Tapper’s behavior. He sets himself up as a trusted partner of truth but clearly (IMHO) obfuscated for years about Biden’s mental health and now when it’s obvious he was either lying or in deep denial…. ….&nb When someone does that to me I write them off as unreliable (much as many Republicans did to Nixon). If my initial post doesn’t inspire introspection among my Demo-bros I will only have my self and my bludgeon-style prose to blame.

My mom suffered from dementia and died last October. She progressed from forgetting how to make coffee to chasing the little real versions of NaNaNa that were 2 years old. Even though I became the pretend NaNaNa last year, I knew that mom loved me. You can still love someone and not lie about them. Democrats, were you really not able to tell? If you couldn’t, do you really think Jill Ashley Hunter and Camilla (and of course, closer to home, Kamala) were unable to tell? How do you think your ability to tell or not reflects the trustworthiness of 1) your judgement; 2) the judgement of your preferred media; and 3) the trust anyone would put in your party going forward? am I just being mean. or does credibility have a value outside of the partisan chorale (yes chorale with falsetto cows mooing in high octaves)? would you invite Jake Tapper to moo at your funeral? maybe it’s time for a Whig revival…

Top FDA Official and Doctor Never Took COVID Vaccine
nanana replied to nanana's topic in LGBT Politics
Hi @brnbk, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I saw her speak, and her concern was for the effect of the MRNA vaccine on her pregnancy and her fetus. She also was a strong advocate of medical freedom and believed that each of us owns our own health, and that doctors are advisors but do not get to take over our health choices. If your suspicion is correct, this would still put her at odds with the US Federal guidance of that era that natural immunity is inferior to the Pfizer or Moderna shot. Can you help explain how you are making sense of whether or not she already had COVID? I agree with you that it is important to read between the lines, but I am having a hard connecting the dots on your hypothesis. Thank you! -

Joe Biden was an absolute freaking *disaster* for gay ppl
nanana replied to harrysmith25's topic in LGBT Politics
I think the Clinton Administration still ranks higher in terms of the number of Feds furloughed. As a former Fed, I was sickened by the number of people who express sympathy for me rather than sympathy for the taxpayers that overpay for a 25th annual date with the government. I can definitely appreciate that other countries find Trump’s style a bit oafish, but I’m surprised they haven’t realized that he’s talking a mean game until he sees that they’re coming to the table. Amen to that. If the President has determined that he can get results for less than Congress gave him, he’s behaving EXACTLY like a CEO of a Fortune 50 company. Huzzah! And love the chart! -

Hi NWUSHorny, just checking to see whether you are going to affirm your position that MAGA people of all stripes “always” believe they are the real victims…? Very respectfully this comes across as hyperbole. Perhaps you were triggered to caricature a class of people? peace, NaNaNa -
Not making fun @harrysmith25, just enjoying.

Hi @SDCumPup, It’s been over two weeks since you wrote your smack. Although there’s an off chance that you’re still polishing your response, I’m going to conclude that you really weren’t mounting a substantial argument, you were just expressing a dislike and maybe listening to your gut more than your scientific savvy. I ‘m a big fan of people who listen to their gut. I’m also a big fan of scientific savvy. It’s a really good idea to know oneself and the difference between gut and savvy before one picks up the pen.

nanana replied to harrysmith25's topic in LGBT Politics
upon further reflection, which seemed worth it given the less-than-charitable response, I illustrate that my initial point had nothing do with inflation CAUSES, but instead with the EXPERIENCE of losing purchasing power. this might have been picked up on by anyone who has empathy for folks who lose 20% or greater purchasing power, but probably not picked up by anyone who is focused on defending the reputation of a politician. it is certainly a great topic (not my focus) to expand the conversation to the causes of inflation, and I would happily concede that I fell into the bad habit of Americans since the Reagan era (Reagonomics yes, but not Carteromics) to attribute all economic performance to a sitting President. it's wonderful to practice coexistence by having AND conversations rather than BUT or EITHER/OR conversations. @Rillionperhaps next time you are triggered to MadLib a choice architecture for my character for me (and all others on this thread), perhaps you will breathe, take a beat, and consider whether the initial point and your adrenillated points might be COMPATIBLE rather than OPPOSITIONAL. Peace and joy, NaNaNa -

nanana replied to harrysmith25's topic in LGBT Politics
I think you have a more thorough and more accurate description @Rillion. I agree that the uniparty passed bills in both the Trump 45 and Biden administrations that jacked up the money supply and debt, which has a cumulative effect over multiple institutions’ and administrations’ decisions. While I think your underlying analysis is good, I found the Biden administration particularly tone deaf in acknowledging the effects of inflation on the public and particularly willing to attribute it to things like the Putin Price Hike and claim victory over inflation when people were still suffering. As to whether I’m a fucking idiot, a liar, a partisan troll, or a liar, I leave that question for each to answer as they will.
