• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Turning Point: Biden’s forceful condemnation of Trump reminded the public that the choice is between democracy and authoritarian rule.


Probably one of the most ridiculous articles written to date.

But nothing had prepared Biden to speak on the anniversary of a failed insurrection to overturn a free election. How do you mourn? How do you commemorate? How do you send the message: never again in America?

The Biden speech was indeed brazen—brazen in directly confronting Trump’s authoritarian ambitions. It was telling that Thursday morning, before Biden spoke, former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham told CNN that she saw Trump in the White House on January 6 watching the sacking of the Capitol as he gushed, “‘Look at all the people fighting for me.’”
 
Well, we're not a democracy, and we're not (totally) under authoritarian rule (yet), so what the fvck is this dude trying to say? PS the author looks like a pedo

They have to. Trump was a huge fundraising coup for the, to keep the cash flow alive you have to create the outrage.
Yeah good point. Just shows the absurdity of modern politics. Goes the same way in both directions (pubs and dems) though. Feelings over facts
