i stopped when he had milo y on and complained about being cancelled. and then it came out milo y is in favor of kids getting groomed and molested in gay clubs.
Watching her be a rep for Seattle it became clear she's about herself and her party above all else. She's a socialist version of trump, which is the last thing we need on the left.
Now that Donald Trump has earned his fourth criminal indictment, the MAGA base of the Republican Party has rallied around Trump’s dismissals of the legal charges he’s facing.

i beleive it. i work in a union warehouse and we can be made to work overtime or take an attendance point. if the company isnt hiring, or not hiring enough, then the poeple who do work there will have to pick up the slack.
A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.
and so far theyve done fuck all about it happening. lock this walking crime spree up already. hes a flight risk and hes attacking judges and intimidating witnesses.
Sounds like some of my coworkers. I'm not vegetarian but some of the comments about the products in the warehouse are laughable. One coworker said he'd never eat fake meat. Same guy can't understand how someone could be transgender. He's a good person from all accounts I've heard but is stuck on that mindset. It's nice to have something to snack on that something didn't have to die for.
“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.
While I agree on the point that dems should be trying to reach disaffected voters in red states and that these Republicans who would vote against ethics for tc justices should be replaced. I don't see this doing that if they couldn't already with how corrupt the republican party openly is now.
It's not an excuse when it's describing the reality of the situation. Dems can't call a vote here and if they could somehow force a vote it would get voted down just by numbers. Republicans don't care they are openly corrupt.
What are democrats supposed to kidnap them and force them to vote? I could agree that dems need to be much better at messaging but they can't force people to pay attention to what's happening.
If people aren't paying attention to how openly corrupt the republican party as a whole is, this vote won't do much to change that. There's playing hardball and then there's giving your opponents an easy W.
You're just making that realization... we've been in this place since Republicans first blocked trumps impeachment solely on political grounds. Hell at least since Obamas last Supreme Court pick was blocked.
If you can't already hear thomas boasting "I just beat a Democrat led witchhunt..." I don't know what to tell you. And the republican base would eat that up. It's would be a very easy win for Republicans.

No shit. He's corrupt af. Between the bone saw incident and him potentially selling out our secrets from trumps trove of classified documents he should be under the jail. If I can see it it should be painfully obvious to anyone who can actually do anything.

Nah fam. Your wage is between you and the employer. The cost of coffee, in this case, is between me and the owner. People should be paid a liveable wage off top and not need to ask the customer to cover your wage twice, once with paying for coffee and the second with the tip.
