I expect a few new Fettermans will unveil themselves in February.

Every centrist will fight for that tradition. Also, they will fight to keep the filibuster with the same excuse.

So only the definition that you prefer is valid. Not the actual meaning of the word.
Who gets to decide what words mean?
Do you also get bent out of shape when someone says Uncle Tom? Is that not insulting to historical Toms? This is your argument.
Maybe wait for the family to tell people that they are offended instead of you pretending to be offended for them.
-
Virtue signaling – Expressing outrage to demonstrate one’s moral superiority or social awareness.
-
Vicarious offense-taking – Taking offense on behalf of someone else, particularly when that person isn’t offended.
-
Manufactured outrage – Deliberately pretending to be offended to create controversy.

I looked it up.
Shakur means thankful in Arabic according to the internet.
AIPAC Shakur is a perfectly fitting name for Jeffries. It shows that he’s thankful and politically motivated by AIPAC because he has been bribed.
Also, it’s weird to claim that a single family owns a word and therefore everyone using that word is insulting someone.
I suggest you look up virtue signaling, vicarious offense-taking, and white knighting.

AIPAC Shakur never fails to show us who owns him. Capitalists and Israel.

I imagine that Schumer and Jeffries are upset because it puts the spotlight on them for being publicly disloyal to Democrats that are not owned by AIPAC.
Haley Stevens is too dumb and gave away the game just like the Democratic ghoul James Carville did.

I don’t see any way this is a politically coherent move for her.
The writing is on the wall. AIPAC is forever toxic for anyone with even a tiny amount of critical thinking skills. That only leaves the GOP and Zionist owned cable news shows as viable paid options.

Seems like a lot of people in power or seeking power are there to make sure Israel continues to get American taxpayer money, endless weapons, legal immunity and the willingness to go to send American troops to die for Israel.

Haley Steves prefers genocide over a leftist podcaster.
She is very intelligent. She was a very attractive woman in her youth.
She is also a very conservative Democrat (neoliberal tax cuts for the wealthy, dismantling of American infrastructure to benefit capitalists, willing to be friendly with minorities) with an absolute indifference to killing thousands of people as long as it pushes her political agenda and it allows her to go up the ranks in power.
Would have been a better president than Trump.

It’s extremely overwhelming and confusing. The learning curve is huge plus the enemies show zero qualms in destroying your entire party the second you step out of line.
It’s one of those games that pay off after learning the systems but it feels like it’s doing its best to not tell you anything.
It took me a few tries until it really clicked with me. Same issue with Demons Souls on PS3.

Biden’s weak old ass pardons people that don’t need one but appointed useless Merrick Garland as attorney general. I am tired of all the weak centrist Democrats doing nothing but performative useless shit and letting all the Republicans tax cuts stay.

I fully agree that the pardon power should not be a get out of jail card for criminals.
It’s Saturday which means there’s already too much booze in me but I want a robust system that would filter out political reward pardons, wealth/personal connection pardons and any pardon that happens only because the party giving the pardon benefitted from the crime.
Also, expand SCOTUS to take away the federalist foundation’s control over the American judiciary.

Republicans have been using the pardon power to reward their political operatives from the crimes they did to help their political party.
Fascists are exploiting our laws to destroy our democracy.

A pardon is an admittance of criminality and guilt.
They should’ve treated as criminals until they make amends to society.
Pretty much every studio making live service trash claimed that it was 100% their decision and that it was the game they always wanted to make since they were a little baby.
If the writing needs better direction to write a good story then the writers are not good. Also, 2023 is way past their good old days.
BioWare was good but they always seemed to push more and more into a casual audience while expecting the RPG fanbase to stick around no matter what. They took the RPG fans for granted and now they have other developers to care about.
Dragon Age never got a true gameplay sequel. They didn’t waste a second abandoning that genre in favor of dumbed down throwaway games. I was so pissed off for buying Inquisition on day one after the universal acclaim it got in the press. Absolutely boring fetch quest trash.
I don’t see any of their writing in the last decade as anything but tired tropes and juvenile simplistic plots and characters.
Elden Ring’s item descriptions have more depth and character than BioWare’s characters that have endless mind numbing dialogue. I could say the same about the plot.
The company founders left over a decade ago. They weren’t perfect but whatever was left was just IP and not ability.
You do go through so much effort to be offended.
You’re really trying hard to twist something that isn’t meant to be a racial insult into one.
Jeffries likes to rap in public events so the AIPAC Shakur is more directly making fun of his sold out nature plus making fun of how bad of a rapper he is. As in, he’s a fake Tupac.
