Moore seems like one of those guys who can grasp the perspectives of the middle class, but his conclusions and solutions are too ingrained that the only time he's reasonable is if he's overwhelmed by it all

That's not Moore's issue.

Moore is a good example of the "He Who Fights Monsters Risk Becoming One Themselves...." trope. Like a lot of liberal, Moore came out of living through the Bush II administration radicalized towards the idea that the Democrats can NEVER lose power ever again and since the Neocons played dirty as fuck, the Democrats need to play even DIRTIER. To the point in the same stage play where he basically predicted Trump's election as the ultimate "fuck you to the elites", Moore also opined that Hillary should EMBRACE the whole "Killary" meme and say "yes, I murder people that oppose me or get in my way!" as far as the idea of marketing Hillary as a bad-ass anti-hero in the same vein as Tony Soprano, Vic Mackey, or Omar from "The Wire".

Adding to this, Moore has pretty much gone full commie to the point even Bill Maher can not help but calling him out on his bullshit where Moore says the DNC needs to become a full-on communist political organization.

As such, Moore has moments of clarity towards the solutions for the problems of the world around him, but he's so utterly shellshocked from having lived through of 2001-2008 and how the neocons were one terrorist attack away from one party rule and a Thousand Year Reich, that he will put aside common sense for beyond the pale shit purely because he truly believes the ends justifies the means at this point in his warped little brain of his.

The year is 2021. Can't believe the threads about to match our year. Anyway did you hear the gay nightclub shooter is non-binary and cnn misgenderes them? Btw what's with the flux of mass shootings lately and why do they always happen around election seasons?

I wonder if trump will ever get a similar treatment.

Trump ran a pretty successful administration when you get away from the nonstop histrionics in the media. However, 2020 was a rocky fucking year for sure, and one for the history books, Trump's response towards the riots was somewhat mediocre, but if you want the appearance of "government doing stuff" Trump would get high marks. Obviously we understand that the vaccines are unsafe and ineffective, but in 2020 Trump did a decent job of getting governmental organizations to handle the covid stuff. There will be debate over the lockdowns for the US until everyone on this board is 6 feet under, but given Trump's position and the dozen of authority figures and specialist telling him it was required I doubt you would find a President that wouldn't take that route. His foreign policy endeavors were excellent and his economy was far better than his predecessor's which was weak at the knees through most of 2014 and 2015.

Joe Biden: "This is the last pause on student loan payments. There will not be another! Read. My. Lips."

*Student debt relief is tossed in the courts.

Also Joe Biden: "I am once again extending the pause on student loan payments."

If the student debt bubble collapses because of nearing on 3 years of default it presents an opportunity to fix the issue.

Let it fail. No 18 year old should be approved for a loan with nothing down and no prospects for return.

I want to see these colleges get so desperate that they actually start to offer an education again. CRT was born and bred in universities that never had to worry about money and put an entirely arbitrary price on extending adolescence forever.

Edit: Happy 2022, I hate everything about it.

Is this one of those things that could lead to Occupy or worse?

Sorry I'm retarded and didn't add context.
SCOTUS via Roberts acting as chief justice today ruled that the House can have Trump's tax records, conveniently before the Republican House officially assumes their roles.

I don’t think anybody was. At least I’ll have the memory of being in DC and seeing a souvenir shop with a shirt that said “Bill Clinton for First Lady” for sale.

They don't want someone in there who is good at the job. They don't want someone who can properly answer questions that hold the Government to account. That is the point. The black lesbian aspect is so anyone that criticises her can be labelled a racist and homophobe.

EDIT:

I also think there's an aspect of gleefully putting someone shit in the job to show their contempt for the people because it doesn't matter. They're in complete control now. They enjoy it being a "fuck you, what are you going to do" to the people.

You make it sound like the left have already achieved their progressive utopia. And all that’s left is to hand the reins of power to the captain who’ll stay the course.

It would crush pension funds which invest in "AAA" assets. It would fuck Unions, municipal pension funds, and elderly people. Occupy was driven more by the 20 somethings whom were positively furious that Obama let the banks get away with crashing the economy and furthermore making billions off the crash, the student loan bubble bursting would just be a wet fart because boomers wont burn shit down, give them credit, blacks and Zoomers(in black bloc) will smash shit up and burn it when the government is fucking with them.
