You act like a bible can be opened.  Even if one could be opened, there is no way it could be read.

We should house the homeless
We should treat addiction like a disease
We should feed our poor
We should heal our sick
We should welcome the alien
We should not hoard wealth
We should pursue peace

nic if you sincerely believe all of those things then i think you might technically already be on the "other side"

I got some news that’s going to blow your mind, we literally do all of those things

For those things to be virtuous, they must be done of free will and out of the kindness of hearts; not thru coercion or violence.

For virtue to exist means cannot justify ends. Both means and ends must be virtuous.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Both sides agreeing to expel George Santos from the House is a tiny glimmer of hope!

I like people that act like this is unprecedented because of "due process".  It's unprecedented because until recently, politicians would have resigned when a scandal 1/10th this bad became public knowledge.

Both sides, my ass. Majority of Republicans didn’t vote to expel. Republican leadership didn’t vote to expel.

More than zero voted to expel. This is major progress.

All 3 Kansas 'pubs voted to expel!

He'd be entertaining, but the dirt would be pretty useless, since you can't believe anything he says.

Spending cuts. I typically lean left, and I support them.

I am in favor and agree with many conservatives that we need to do it. I am OK with ending spending on wars, but object to favoring Israel over Ukraine as many evangelicals seem to be leaning.

I am also in favor of vast and painful federal spending cuts. I’d like to see them treat this like a corporate M&A deal and cut and wait to watch the bleeding and bring things back on a case by case basis.  This seems to be in alignment with many conservatives.

Also, there are MANY things that Dax and Nicname and Purplewood and I can agree on….IF ONLY the Evangelical Christians, White Nationalists, and Isolationists could be sidelined.

They MIGHT say the same to me on a few things if the left could sideline progressives and whatever other colorful fringe flavor they find disturbing.

For virtue to exist means cannot justify ends. Both means and ends must be virtuous.

Buddy, we live on land drenched in Native American blood. You pay property tax on land that was plotted out and surveyed while the bones were drying in the sun.

Our state motto should be means justify the ends. If you want to get to the bottom of that ethical dilemma for how we created property rights here, then you can start getting on your high horse about using the violence of the state to force people pay property tax to fund schools.

My typical problem I have with spending cuts from the right comes in two forms, either they want to cut valuable social services, or they want to give tax breaks to those who definitely don't need them and give token tax breaks to those who do (see trump tax cuts). I tend to agree we spend an insane amount on the military/wars but quite frankly even what pubs will do is no different then dems, and again yeah they'd rather see our allies suffer and die than meaningful cutbacks like strategic realignment of bases, reducing waste/military size all out of virtue signaling to China/Russia/et al that we can keep doing what we did under Reagan.

In my idealized world you tell the military to tighten its belt a bit, tell our allies nicely but seriously to step up their spending so we don't have to (like the only thing conceptually trump is right on but lord does he make it so embarrassing it undermines the whole thing, use some damn diplomacy not bullying) they need to tell the rich to pony the eff up, and give tax breaks to the middle class who spur demand side economics that will actually spend and cycle money instead of hoarding it and strangling out innovation at the top. Then maybe you can examine some of more the more parasitic departments and either combine them or stream line them a bit, but not ones that provide services.
