I know maybe I should but it’s impossible for me to have sympathy for the ladies who signed up to the murder squad so they could legally murder people.
“Alito’s next opinion piece in the WSJ is about to be ‘I am a little king, actually. The Constitution doesn’t explicitly say I’m not,’” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) quipped.
Gorsuch is really weird. He’s always gonna be theirs but he’s gonna side with us in really weird ways sometimes. I don’t think he’ll ever be Alito levels.

Economic analyst Steven Rattner on Monday shared a pie chart showing that all but 1% of the $3 billion in investments in former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s private equity firm Affinity Partners came from foreign sources after he “spent much of his White House tenure cozying up” to Saudi Arabia and...
It also works to help obfuscate Democratic corruption as it's nowhere near as bad and when pointed out is immediately compared to the much worse Republican corruption, which in turn pushes the envelope (full of cash) forwards even more. It sucks.
You will be no better than the people you'll fight against. I've seen it happen on every pro-men subreddit, and if this place isn't aggressively moderated to dispel hopelessness, negativity, and prejudice, it'll just turn into hate....
It’s been fun seeing so much of Kirk this season, but does that mean he’s now a regular? I don’t see how he could take a position on the Enterprise for years yet, so would that imply he just keeps coincidentally visiting all the time? Starts to strain plausibility after a while.
Disengagement is the wrong term when “disengaging” people is a deliberate political strategy. Also your state is famous for stuffing ballot boxes. That history lingers.
I’m very much looking forward to the musical episode. When Buffy did a musical it was a nice change of pace and a lot of fun. I’m hoping for much the same from SNW’s musical.
You’ve never heard of social security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, housing opportunities, mental health services, food banks, soup kitchens, etc etc etc
Like Jesus Christ with that comment. How fucking stupid are conservatives? Go hit your head with a hammer and see if it helps. Seemingly it couldn’t hurt.
Donald Trump had recently finished a familiar riff about banning gender transition surgery for children when the former president, speaking to an audience of Evangelical voters, moved on to something new: a policy that would affect transgender adults. “I will ban all taxpayer funding for sex or gender transitions at any...
I am so over pretending there is any space in society for these Nazi fucks.
Let’s be real - across the globe the right wing has marched happily towards fascism. Fuck them all, forever. There are no good right wingers. There will never be any good right wingers. We can’t just beat and kill them this time. We have to salt the earth of their communities.

While Democrats questioned Wray for ignoring warnings about Jan. 6, Republicans sought answers to a slew of conspiracy theories and culture war grievances that go a...
They’re consistently rated as the most right wing alphabet agency. Mueller let Trump walk and the feds have been suppressing leftism and propping up right wingers forever. I do not understand this view of them liberals have but I imagine a lot of it is based around formerly held delusions about Mueller and television.
Yeah, see, this is what I’m talking about. You have no data necessary to make that statement and we’ve seen nothing to indicate that there is a presence within the FBI that has a burning desire to fight Republican corruption. In fact we’re literally in the comment section for an article about the agency behaving exactly the opposite!!!
Florida Democrats ended their annual summer fundraising dinner with a drag show, a move designed to highlight what the party said is intolerance by Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans.
Pretty much no one except creepy weirdos gives a FUCK if you dance around in a dress. Independents, if they care about this at all, are generally against Ronald Disney Princess’ campaign of hate
Sorry fam but post covid that’s gonna happen pretty much no matter what. If “it’s okay to do drag” is a losing position your state is already lost. Best to move the culture forward at large and loudly proclaim that people who are different from the norm are still valid and have a place.
Valuing short term optics over acknowledging and celebrating identity is in the long run a losing position. Look at the captured black and queer votes. Those are massive bases for Democrats and aren’t going away for ages, but embracing civil rights lost Dems the South and you but 60 years ago were making this exact same argument. But look at the culture now. Sure, there’s a reaction under way but the vast, vast majority of people are against segregation, are fine with miscegenation and don’t give a fuck about who you fuck. That’s because people took unpopular positions and made them popular.
I’d rather have safe, out queers than a DINO senator.
The vote occurred nearly two weeks ago, shortly after the Georgia Republican had called then-fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert a pejorative in a verbal fight on the House floor.
