I’d imagine a lot of those people are on food stamps so that’ll hopefully impact that disapproval as well. This is pre-losing snap, it’ll be interesting to see polls after.

About 25 years late with this article. Roberts betrayed America for George W. Bush when he argued before the supreme court that Bush won despite being behind (or about to be behind as votes were still being counted and gore had the momentum, can’t remember) at the, at the time, current vote total. Bush rewarded him with the position of Chief Justice. Fuck him. He’s a large part of why we are here.

Ah I see, you’re not missing something. I was basing it off of her AMA on reddit from a long while ago now when Jan hadn’t announced her retirement yet.

Still think she deserves criticism for running in a district she doesn’t live in and for moving from texas to Illinois and within a year running for Congress there. But she at least is running for an empty seat. There are also several other candidates in the race who are just as progressive who actually live in the district.

Edit at the top: the seat she is running for is going to be empty so that’s at least one area of criticism she shouldn’t face.

She is running in a seat currently held by a Democratic congresswoman who, to be fair, has been in office for a while. It’s a primary and she’s running against her. Not an open seat unless the current congresswoman has recently announced she won’t be running which would have had to happen in the last couple weeks and I think is unlikely.

The indictment specifically accuses Abughazaleh, among others, of banging aggressively on the windows, hood and other areas of the agent’s car, pushing against it to “hinder and impede its movement” and etching the word “PIG” on the car.

This is so dumb. Oh no! The ICE agent was scared! Almost exactly like how he makes everyone else feel!

Kat is a really good voice to have and this is the dumbest thing you can throw against her. Criticize her about how she’s not running in the district she lives in, how she moved to Illinois from Texas and within a very short time decided to run for congress against a Democratic congresswoman who the community of the district genuinely likes and has been rather progressive ( I have been corrected, the congresswoman is retiring). About how she’s acting like she knows a lot about the district saying she lives right next to a bus line that is a few stops away from that district despite the fact that bus line doesn’t go to that district. Not this horseshit.

In fall 2022, ahead of the midterm elections, Garland opted to freeze both the classified documents and election investigations because of what some officials believed was his overly cautious reading of a DOJ policy not to take any public action close to an election.

So fucking fun how this always applies to investigations into Republicans but never into Democrats. We couldn’t possibly be investigating a Republican who isn’t even on the ballot within 60 days of an election but we absolutely can send a letter to congressional Republicans about new emails being discovered in the Hilary Clinton investigation a mere 2 weeks before the election despite willfully knowing it would be leaked.

I genuinely believe that Garland, a known Republican, voted for Trump in 2020 and was upset he didn’t win and knew he was going to be the candidate again so didn’t want to put the fucker in prison. Then went and voted for Trump in 2024.

Fucker should have been fired.

So what they accused Obama of doing in 2010, got it.

Ive been on hrt since 2016, so same. I’ve been stocking up on my estrogen (also switching to injections and lowering my spiro dose, which the higher dose turned out to be needless since my lower dose keeps my T down super low) so that I can at least have that for a year or more. Then there’s DIY. Such lovely conversations to have about losing care because the government doesn’t want us to exist.

Paused my ass, he fucking froze as if his brain was broken and was very clearly trying to fake technical issues despite obviously swaying back and forth a bit. The cnn host had to cut with the claim of technical issues after Stephen refused to respond to the host saying “Stephen? Stephen are you there? Can you hear me?”

The dude realized he said Plenary authority, regretted immediately and instead of pivoting and making it seem like a mistake by correcting himself to “plenty”, his brain broke. Fuck off with this sane washing NY Times saying he “paused”. That implies he resumed after a couple seconds.

Wait what has he been capitulating on?

I dunno about that, they’ve gotten rid of several anti-trans riders in the past couple of bills, including removing them from the BBB. The Dems in the Senate have almost always unanimously voted against anti trans stuff. Occasionally you’ll get a couple of defectors but usually not.

I imagine one of her stipulations would be to ban all trans healthcare.

I’ll always remember on here when, during the election, I was talking about how bad Project 2025 was and how terrifying it was. I then had several folks say simultaneously that Project 2025 was nothing to be afraid of (was a boogeyman that they wanted me to be afraid of) and that Biden had already actually implemented about 80% of it. Crazy stuff.

Project 2025 was always Trump’s plan and I wish the media, and people like the commenters I mentioned, would have done better at understanding how bad it was and how his supposed distancing was all fucking BS.

Tucker has claimed multiple times at least since last year that Pete is actually straight. All because of his Gay Producer seemingly being the decider of who is and isn’t gay. I wouldn’t be surprised if either the Producer is just pulling it out of his ass, or he heard Pete might have dated women before coming out in 2015 so just assumes that means he couldn’t be gay. Cause obviously there’s no such thing as being in denial. That Producer might be experiencing a real Gold Star Lesbian thought process.

Either way, Tucker only knows anything about sex as a gay person because he’s had sex with that demon (obviously an incubus) that supposedly scratched him last year. They were love scratches.

Tucker is a Demon Fucker. Pass it on.

Andrew Cuomo also happens to have an Andrew Cuomo problem.

Good

And they’ll still reelect him next year.

There is no clean way out of it. Split, civil war, fascist dictatorship crackdown, world war against the US, war with Mexico and Canada forcing the US collapse, sending every possible minority to a concentration camp and ruling for decades only to eventually collapse like all fascist dictatorships do. There is only messiness in the future.

Yeah they want one party rule so they can do whatever they want forever. People will get more and more upset with the things they do while in power but won’t be able to stop it so they’ll stop participating which will guarantee even more Republicans win. They want to make the Democrats non existent, they would have already made them illegal if they felt like they could.

The more they push the more I think the US will not last that much longer, maybe a decade, and then it’ll split into multiple countries. People who are liberal and leftist on the west coast can only be so useful if the feds ruin everything they do, so they could split off and make their own thing, as has been talked about more and more recently.

Since noone is posting it, here’s a list of the states:

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wyoming

So almost entirely red states that went for trump. I live in one of these states right next to an Air Force base. It’ll be terrifying if I go to some places this or next weekend and happen to see National Guard. Fucking nuts.
