There's a lot of "Weekend At Bernie's" going on in Congress these days huh?

Ironically Bernie is one of the least comatose of the bunch.

We saw his whole circus of clowns on January 6th. We're not scared.

gentleman ,

@Heresy_generator m/liberalgunowners r/liberalgunowners we need to be prepared for round 2. Heritage Foundation and Trump’s shadow cabinet are already planning for the police state that will follow if Trump gets in and GOP states have been working for years to cut out opposition voting.

The kbin link format is @liberalgunowners

It would be ironic if sufficient liberal gun ownership finally brings Republicans around to supporting gun regulation, like Reagan did when he was governor of CA because the Black Panthers started open carrying.

gentleman ,

@DarkGamer That would be ironic, but irony is not the Right’s strong suit. Thank you for help with the format! I think it is crucial that liberals embrace gun rights before the next election/coup attempt. There are more of us than people realize, we just don’t tattoo it on our foreheads or make it the center of our beings. I saw that shit go down before and frankly I’m way too fucking old to tolerate an attack on our country like that again

Meh. Kinda just sounds desperate at this point.

nevernevermore ,

even more pathetic than desperation is this is the kind of edgelord meme 13 year olds post with a picture of heath ledger as joker

Like that ultra-cringe DeSantis ad from a couple of weeks ago.

Unaware7013 ,

Of course he's desperate, he knows the noose is tightening.

I was listening to one of the newer Beau videos last night, and the letter he got from the special council is very bad for him. Between the witness tampering charge (someone he pressured not to flip, flipped and tattled on him) and the general surprise from his legal team (and pants on head defenses I've seen recently that the heritage foundation asshole is trying) he knows that the powers that be are fucking tired of his ass.

Add in the chatter from people about DC judges being absolutely tired of his shit, plus the fun coming out of Georgia and Michigan, we might be getting close to being at critical popcorn levels.

What we all know is these types of bigots are on the outs. Shame the fuck out of them, they don’t do anything positive for your communities. They are wildly thrashing (with seemingly powerful national voices). They will never completely go away but they are reacting to a change in the norms that’s been coming for decades.

wagesj45 , in Republicans try to stop military’s electrification with mind-bogglingly dumb proposals
@wagesj45@kbin.social avatar

These are unserious people and it is shameful that we (collectively) have elected them to positions of power. If you've ever wanted to run for office but doubt your own abilities, just take a gander at these nimrods.

Col3814444 OP , in ‘He Kicked Me in My Balls.’ Fight at Michigan GOP Meeting Turns Physical: Report

Mark DeYoung, who chairs the Clare County Republican Party, said he heard Chapman’s attempt to enter the room and opened the door after seeing someone flip him the bird through a window. “He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” DeYoung said of Chapman, speaking to The Detroit News by phone from the emergency room.

Both parties are not the same.

Grumps ,

You can smell the testosterone supplements from this description alone. The door was locked and everything was under control... But DeYoung couldn't let a middle finger stand so he opened the door. For what? To shame the other person? No, for confrontation. And he got it. Now he's injured and asking, "why is everything so divisive?!"

Both of these people are children walking around in adult costumes.

This is fucking 19th century America shit right here. Are we really not better than this?

jubilationtcornpone ,

You know the country is headed in a bad direction when it’s turning into the setting for a Charles Dickens novel.

Col3814444 OP ,

To be honest - no. Your workers rights and social support systems are extremely lacking. You have allowed corporations and those with wealth to control your representatives for over a century and this is where it got you.

@AdmiralSnackbar@kbin.social avatar

Yep, and we’re going to reap what we have sown. I have no optimism for our future.

wagesj45 , in Conservative women are embracing extremism under the guise of motherhood
@wagesj45@kbin.social avatar

These highly organized local action groups are really concerning to me. We had a group of ultra conservatives running for our local school board as a group. Very worrying that they're organizing so effectively.

1chemistdown ,
@1chemistdown@kbin.social avatar

It’s like they have weekly meetings about this stuff and plan it all out. The Sunday church crowd is the loudest group of thugs ever.

HandsHurtLoL ,

They literally hold big workshops to explain the play book. We rarely hear about it until a secret recording from their covert meetings is leaked.

On the other side of the aisle, there is similar training and it has the light of day on it.

Consider supporting or signing up for Elect Her, the Action Network, and Downballot Progress.

I wonder how many children these "conservative" groomers have already brainwashed into their organization (which we happen to know for a fact is filled with pedophiles)?

Hairyblue , in Man cited in Supreme Court LGBTQ rights case says he was never involved
@Hairyblue@kbin.social avatar

The Christian web designer who says she was harmed by a gay couple asking her to do a webpage for their wedding was LYING. This Christian took a case to the Supreme Court claiming she was harmed by the gays but she was LYING. And the Christians on the court ruled to cause harm to the LGBTQ community by allowing their bigotry to be legal.

keeb420 ,

thats what i dont get about this whole thing. i thought in order to bring a case you had to have standing and courts would examine if your case was legit. how did it even get this far? wtf? i hate this country sometimes.

Drusas ,

The liberal justices' first criticism of the decision was that the court shouldn't have heard the case at all because the plaintiff didn't have standing.

So yeah.

e_t_ Admin , in [News] Attorney General Garland says in interview he'd resign if Biden asked him to take action on Trump

It would be inappropriate for Biden to request a specific action regarding Trump, but the overall wording gives the impression that Garland intends to be idle in the face of Trump's criminality.

Eatspancakes84 ,

A special prosecutor has been assigned for this purpose specifically.

Garland is a stooge anyway

rafoix , in [News] Bill Barr says he’s willing to testify against Trump at Jan. 6 trial

"Willing to testify" is not the same as "willing to testify against". He's a corrupt man that has an expertise in protecting powerful republicans.
