That’s to say nothing for the idea that if the election WERE stolen, it would be an uncharacteristic display of technical competence the likes of which we’ve never seen from this administration before or since.

Nazis from the past used the Nazi time machine to travel to the future and destroy our society here in 2025.

Don’t take it the wrong way, guys.

She’s probably saying this with pride.

The Texas ruling gets applied to California, Texas appeals it, gets a stay to do it anyway pending appeal, California doesn’t get the stay because the supreme court ruled that each jurisdiction applies only to itself, and by the time it all gets sorted it’s irreversibly one sided and fucked.

Except that’s a lie - an investigation by the IRS does NOT prevent you from releasing tax documents. Not even by tradition.

It’s absolute nonsense.

It’s very simple…

He doesn’t care if the files, which don’t exist, get released, which he could do unilaterally, but he won’t, since he doesn’t care, because he’s not in them, and they’re a political hit job by the democrats, or they would be, if they were real, but they aren’t.

Got it?

I will celebrate anybody who does the right thing when they do the right thing, regardless of their general alignment. That doesn’t mean I FORGIVE them the other stuff, but being right is being right, and by that criteria, Fetterman can fuck right off.

Don’t have to. For these idiots, the fact he SAID it was coming is just as good as having done it.

This is just a distraction from the Epstein files!

I could completely believe passing this test is impressive to his supporters and that most of them would fail it.

Wouldn’t work without also instituting rent control. The moment landlords get wind that people are getting money from a UBI the rents will double. So many parts of our system are so beyond broken that it’s like playing whack-a-mole with all of the worst elements in society.

I 10000% believe women should have unfettered access to reproductive healthcare.

But is this post implying that it should be available in less than 7 minutes? Like, you could order a pizza and then go for a counseling session and be done with it before your pizza arrives?

Trump: Does horrible thing

Two weeks after it matters: People: Sue over horrible thing

One year later: Court: Trump shouldn’t have done that horrible thing.

Result: Horrible thing is done. No consequences for having done said horrible thing. Lawyers get paid. Courts give themselves pat on back. Democracy manifest!

That calculation only matters if opinion still carries weight, which it doesn’t. Trump controls all the levers of power, with only Congress having any POTENTIAL to countermand him, and by the time the midterms come around, the institution will likely be so neutered and weakened in the face of unchallenged executive power that it won’t matter.

I’m NOT saying give up or trying to be defeatist, but there is no room to feel like things are “turning around” until he is well and truly GONE. Until then it’s all just noise.

They’re in no rush. Every day the shutdown goes on, Trump and cronies can get rid of employees they couldn’t get the courts to let them fire, and that’s not counting the ones who quit because they can’t afford to be without income.

Meanwhile, Trump can executive order anything he considers critical to be essential and therefore funded anyway, and none of the machinery of fascism misses a beat. There are no jobs reports to alarm people that employment is collapsing, and the stock market keeps climbing.

Meanwhile, Congressional republicans cry crocodile tears. “Oh, no! Please don’t play hardball with us!”

This is what happens when you try to exert leverage when you don’t have any left.

…I happen to agree with that last one.

This headline has been true for almost a decade at this point.

Impossible, he’s far too powerful

Absolutely. Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Enjoy the consequences of your own actions, idiot.
