Republican voters have demonstrated that Republican rulers can do whatever they want and still get re-elected. They wall themselves off in a Fox News information silo and only discover that their rights and benefits are lost when it actually happens to them.

Not the first time I've seen a Republican bemoan their bullshit party just to cave when it comes to actually doing something. It gets them press. They disgust me.

My governor just called the National Guard in advance of the planned peaceful protest tomorrow. Nebraska protests have never been anything but peaceful. He has declared war on all progressives, and me personally.

I've heard a lot of people wonder why Trump didn't start a war. The reality is that he and Fox News long ago declared war on the working class, and they have just now sent in the armed forces.
Donnette Thayer (@donnettethayer.bsky.social)
The cold war of the corporate-funded government on the working class is now an openly armed conflict.

I went to see Bernie Sanders in Omaha, and it was the same thing. Several hundred people were turned away at the front door, and a good five hundred people were stuck in the overflow areas and the foyer outside the meeting hall. They had changed to a larger venue at the last moment losing more.

California, the 6th largest world economy,, should strategically propose secession, which requires 3/4 of the states to agree to secession. it would force a bunch of red states to cry and beg CA back, admit they rely on California to survive, and maybe shut the hell up about hating on California.
Donnette Thayer (@donnettethayer.bsky.social) reply parent
It would be an appropriate response to this sickening gambit by the turds putting conditions on aid to a US state in a time of crisis. It would also have the delightful benefit of making red states cry like babies to keep us around after hating on Californians for decades.

So per capita, we have 4 murder offenders per 100,000 white people, 16 murder offenders per 100,000 black people, and no real information on the number of murder offenders who are also undocumented immigrants in the dataset provided. I agree with your call that the data are inconclusive.

This turd's action is called a "cut direct." Amy Vanderbilt was so disturbed by the cut direct that she refused to describe it in her book on etiquette.. We Nebraskans are generally not simply polite, but genuinely kind. I find this creep's behavior to be anomalous, shameful, and odious.
