Oh, for heaven sakes, it’s not a defining aspect, it’s just a little side action and usually in response to provocation anyway.

Other than that and senseless investigations into non-issues what exactly do the republicans want to do. Watching them do their performative skits in congress these days it’s tough to see that they have any other agenda. At the state level the only agenda they seem to have is hurting people they don’t like and controlling the ladies’ bodies.

I know I’ve asked this question repeatedly and only ever gotten a wish list of stuff that Republican politicians most definitely do t seem interested in doing (at least judging by the utter lack of any legislation being suggested by any of them with regards to these wish list items), but I’ll ask again. If not own the libs and control how people live their lives WTF does the current Republican Party want to accomplish?

... WTF does the current Republican Party want to accomplish?

Their decision to simply not issue a party platform was informative.

Their decision to simply not issue a party platform was informative.

To be fair, they had a good reason for not doing it after I investigated it. They didn’t have enough people during .cO.vI.d times meeting to give the representation they felt they needed to give to issues.

Besides, do you think it’s really going to change much from year to year? if you showed me the past four platforms for the democratic party I probably couldn’t tell which platform from which year.

perhaps the Democrats are just more monolithic OneNote thinkers, perhaps there’s not as much diversity within the party and fewer people can create their platform. I don’t know. I know they have a bigger central organization than the Republicans do.

Now that we’re out of covid times has the Republican Party put together a platform? Or are they sticking with the nonplatform they’ve been working with for 6 years now?

But thank you for at least attempting a response. Based on your response I’ll assume that like the half dozen times I’ve asked before, the Republican Party has absolutely no platform that can be explained to someone who asks what their platform is. Thanks for confirming.

well, I agree that finding a way to put together a current platform would be a good step toward getting back into the swing of things.

This funny thing happened: a Stanford University faculty member violated Stanford free-speech policy by shutting down the talk of a federal judge appointed by Donald Trump. The federal judge was speaking at an event on campus.

She berated him for many minutes about whatever it was he had done from the bench or thought about doing and she would not let him speak.

While that was not a good thing, Stanford University put out a policy statement that she had violated their policy and she was wrong. This is excellent! I can get behind this response and think the issue need go no further than that.

But now it turns out that this employee has left the employment of Stanford, presumably of her own accord and Reportedly due to cool relations she’s having with fellow faculty members.

Hers was probably not a fireable offense, but since she was the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Officer of that faculty, she had a Teflon cocoon around her. God forbid you fire your DEI hire.

If only Anheuser-Busch had immediately put out an apology for their marketing head’’s , snarky, disrespectful comments about their customers, I would’ve gotten over the Bud Light fiasco months ago.

sincere apology offered in a timely way goes a long ways with me

....I would’ve gotten over the Bud Light fiasco months ago.

I think the real fiasco here is the "beer" itself. An apology would consist of making "real beer".

I don't know who or why they should apologize. (Other than Bae's comment about their watered down excuse for beer). I even googled "Bud's snarky comments"?

‘AB InBev apologizes for erroneously assuming that trans people might want to drink Bud light.’
