Holy fuck! As if Citizens United wasn’t bad enough. Our government is fully for sale now.

Most countries have a functional mental health system. The US does not. We fail on both accounts.

And the growing LGBT hate. And the potential revival of the Comstock act. And the attempts at banning artificial insemination and contraception…

More of a stampede than a creep these days.

Amazing that they will do this and then turn around and complain about the destruction of western culture.

Donald Trump, the convicted felon who admits he still has a gun he has not surrendered as is required of convicted felons?

Bullshit. Your finger doesn’t move after the first pull. That makes it automatic by the legal definition. This is a bad ruling by “judges” who don’t deserve the honor of the name.

Sports bra season, closely followed by yoga pants season.

Gorsuch has a libertarian streak that leads him to side with individuals against the government. Bad when those individuals are a corporation, good when they are NA tribes.

That’s a really roundabout way of socialising healthcare.

The liberals were right. Those things happened because of actions Trump set in motion.

I used a convection toaster oven in the kitchen.

That fried the circuits of 1/3 of the house. Some amateur electrician tied in several new circuits into the same kitchen breaker. They used undergauged wire on top of it.

Cost us $6k to fix and that was a hell of a deal from some Covid - unemployed union electricians. They put in 3 breakers where there was one before. The electrician had a hell of a time tracking where all the lines came from. That included a 3ft fireball shooter ng out of the wall because a line was love when it shouldn’t have been.

Nothing liberal or hyperbolic about facts.

Would you bet your life on that?

If you think there are fascists on both sides, then you don’t know what fascism is. The left definitely has problems, but being fascist isn’t one of them.

Remember during Covid when supply lines were interrupted, people started hoarding resources, and the store shelves were bare? That was just a comparatively minor disruption compared to what would happen if we “burn it down”. Think seeing children starving in Gaza is horrifying? It would happen here in much larger numbers. Our millions of guns would be turned on us by our neighbors. It would be The Purge in real life. The Rawandan Genocide would be tame by comparison.

People who say “burn it down” always assume theirs won’t be one of the millions of lives this plan ends.

I just checked and he was a Jedi but eventually fell to the dark side and took over a planet.

There was even a Hutt Jedi

I want to see him behind bars, but it would be almost as good to see him forced to do community service helping undocumented immigrants.

I’m not so sure. It’s MUCH harder to avoid punishment after you are convicted. Michael Cohen got 3 years for the exact same crime, plus he pled guilty and agreed to testify for a shorter sentence. Obviously Trump will appeal, but it’s entirely reasonable for the judge (who Trump has taken every opportunity to insult) to rule he must start serving his sentence while the appeal happens.
