No, it's idiots who voted for the orange shit stain in the first place in 2016. You can also blame all those who voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. This gave SCOTUS to the Republicans, which ensured that everything took as long as possible in the courts. I mean, if we are going to get reductive.

I'm glad the children are here to witness this authentic expression of Republican circular, double-talk, "pass the post" parsing logic.
Kristi Noem Is Running An Organized Crime Syndicate Unqualified and incompetent Kristi Noem instructs her gang of masked Jan 6 terrorists to continue to commit assault and battery and kidnap random people on the street.

... well, this case just went in a whole different direction!!!
The thing is most prosecutors would never take a case to grand jury unless they had a pretty airtight case. Now incompetents are bringing charges they can't really prove. Most prosecutors don't try to get an indictment on a ham sandwich. They set up a exquisite five-course meal.

However they were both repressive police states. Also, the workers never really owned the means of production.
It is now or never if we're going to rise up and save our democracy. Now or never.
I'm not queer... but if I had to guess, I think most queer people understand that when JD Vance is made fun of for wearing eyeliner, he’s not being made fun of for eyeliner He’s being made fun of for being the type of guy who makes fun of queer men for wearing eyeliner while he is wearing eyeliner
Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners
... and when they all have to sell, Trump's private equity will be more than happy to pick it up with cents on the dollar.
Dems should swap out Hakeem Jeffries with Jasmine Crockett. They need that kind of fire.
That aged nicely...
Probably the same jokers who thought Brexit was a good idea.
"The Rule of Law in the US Just Took Its Last Breath" With the raid on Bolton's home, and the new investigations against top Democrats, we should be prepared for a new two-tiered system of laws. Rules for everyone else - but not for Trump. Another must-read for Zeteo from @kimwehle.bsky.social

Sure, but the 80s and 90s need a marketable name. Neo-Classic?
Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
Devastating news.
All over a logo? It's not like the food was all that.

I guess no one will think to clime it at night?
As of May 2024, there have been at least 202 3-pitch innings in MLB history. That is all. #MLB #DetroitTigers
There is only one way to respond to this GOP gerrymandering power-grab: hit them back harder. Newsom has shown what we can do when we’re not afraid to play their game. Time for other Dems to follow suit.
Things I do not care about: Cracker Barrels logo. Things I care enormously about: America’s descent into fascism. Let’s focus, folks.
I’m a (nearly) 90-year-old gay Japanese guy. Do I count? Because his face is very sandwichable.
This only helps oil companies, there is not need to tap into this area other then greed.
The US government is again moving to outright force drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, threatening both caribou and the Gwich’in people in northern Yukon who depend on them. thenarwhal.ca/yukon-old-cr...
The days of playing nice are over. If you’re not willing to get down and dirty you need to step aside. #ForThePeople
Art of the deal.
Donald Trump has no feel for grand strategy. He does have a great feel for theater.
This tickled me because they really are matching the crazy 😂
The reason this is transparently AI is because Democrats do not treat politicians as heroes or Gods. Most of us view our political candidates with something closer to contempt rather then adulation.

open.substack.com/pub/carolina... Laura Loomer is really gunning for him. The question is does South Carolina care about ‘LadyG’. When she gonna get to little Mikie Johnson & his lack of financial transparency ….
Literally the least surprising or interesting thing I have heard all month.
Well girdle your loins because if Newsome keeps this up he will be the most high profile Democrat running for president. Which means that how ever is your favorite will be, at best, a not close 2ned at best.

Sure, but the Republicans won't. Why are we disarming again?

You crazy liberals could never understand the tender, tender, lovemaking that occurs between an octogenarian dictator and his favorite court jester. www.thebulwark.com/p/laura-loom...
With all due respect, I don't think the Conservatives on the high court give one rat's ass about how insistent we are. By all means though, keep the litigation going.
When people say, "anyone can grow up to be president," they always seem to think it's a good thing. I don't. But if it ever came down to it ... I would pull the lever for Stewart in a heartbeat over any MAGA clown.
So is 52.
Yes it does say everything.

Rarely does karma put a cherry on top of the sundie like this. "The owner of Trump Burger, a MAGA-themed food chain based in the Houston area, is facing deportation proceedings." www.sacurrent.com/news/owner-o...
.... and that was after he wrecked the USFL.
... and not a Drag Queen among them
What we need t do is eliminate single seat districts. You vote for a party and then allocate the seats accordingly. Cuts down on voters who vote for personalities and it would give third parties a fighting chance to win seats.
But our state leaders keep saying the Utah economy is doing great thanks in part to federal policies by the current president
Wait until they find out Jesus was a liberal.
Give me the willies just thinking about it ... apnews.com/today-in-his...
Trump didn't fire Dr. Erika McEntarfer because she manipulated America's jobs numbers. He fired her so he can find someone who WILL.
@voteannjohnson.bsky.social answered a question from CBS correspondent, Ed O’Keefe with a #CupOfJoe full of nuclear power. “No. Running from the fight is flying to Cancun while your constituents freezes to death.” ☕️💥 #DemsUnited #MessWithTexas
Trump doesn't care about "Democracy".
The journo here asked all the wrong questions, and did not fact check the lies.
One of the things i am not hearing mentioned during tariff discussions is how weak the dollar has become since King Midas took the throne. The dollar has fallen approx 10% on average to other currencies. So as an importer, you’re not only paying tariffs, but also buying with a weaker dollar.
Chicago has a lower violent Crime rate than the state of Louisiana ... Also, 8 of the top 10 violent crime states are Red.
Republicans have enough votes to pass or confirm whatever and whoever they want. Attacking democrats instead of electing them will only make matters worse. Voting with the opposition when it won’t change the outcome is a part of politics. It’s often done to secure votes on a future topic.
Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat. The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections. Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.
“Both of them.”
Some people love to tell us that they will not vote for Democrats because they are merely the lesser of two evils. A couple of points ... 1) Even by a harsh critique, they are way, way, way less evil. 2) They are not specifically trying to undo the democratic foundation of our republic.
Nothing says “our policies suck, so we need some insurance” quite like mid-decade congressional redistricting.
In Iran if a 12-year-old girl is raped and impregnated by her father, she must carry the baby to term, or be thrown in prison for life. Wait, sorry, no. That's Alabama.
Petty cheating at golf is a window into his rotted soul.

Let me get this straight ... in order to "punish" India he is going to raise taxes on US consumers after lowing them for billionaires. What a tool. apnews.com/article/trum...
Was it a privilege for all those girls who were abused to find themselves on Epstein’s island?
lost opportunities... sad.
I have been saying this since he screwed up the USFL ... Donald Trump cheats at golf. If he cheats at golf, he will cheat at anything. youtu.be/O-Fkz7F8PgE?...
On one hand it's typical behavior for Republicans to be hypocrites, especially when it come to sex crimes. One the other hand, why are sex crimes there only crimes that GOP can't seem to get over when the entire party is knee deep in financial crimes? oklahomavoice.com/2025/07/25/p...
Jennifer Araoz was only 15 when Epstein sexually abused her. Her testimony is hard to listen to but equally important as we need to give a voice to survivors.
