While we debate the future of the executive branch, there should be no question that we need to focus ur efforts on the legislative branch. Vote blue to take back the House and expand our hold on the Senate. We’ll need them both to be fully functional and committed to fortifying - not unraveling - American Democracy. #Politics

We often clamor for transparency then recoil when we see beyond the surface. But in the case of medical information about President Biden’s health in light of his debate performance, we deserve to know the truth, however distressing. #Politics

This is why I dropped my monthly contribution to the ACLU. At age 71, I’m not interested in a generations-long “solution” to an existential threat. I worked for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in Massachusetts in the 1970s. Calling for new Amendments is ridiculous. #Politics

As a would-be tyrant gleefully bends the levers of power to his vengeful and depraved will, a sense of mourning in America pervades our #Politics and discourse. Why are we letting one man diminish an entire nation? Yes, America is on the ropes, wracked with an exhausting fever, infected by a megalomaniac and his cult followers. Don’t write our obituary just yet, though. The cure for our present ailments and for future recurrences rests in the ballot box, and a massive dose of voter turnout.

Morning Mika is so, so worried about the state of American #Politics this morning. Well, Mika, maybe if you and Morning Joe hadn’t normalized Mango Mussolini by hosting him on your show on MSNBC day after day, gazing adoringly at him, lobbing him pre-approved softball questions, jonesing for a Mar-a-Lago invite, even fixing his damn hair, we wouldn’t BE in this mess now. Spoiler alert: he never gave a damn about you two sycophants. You threw America under the bus for a handful of magic beans.

I’m grateful that famed dissenter Notorious RBG is no longer here to see how #SCOTUS has been consumed by corruption. #Politics

Two strong “I dissent” arguments from our pack. #Politics #SCOTUS

Since the Judicial Branch of our government is irreparably compromised, please spare a thought for the Legislative Branch which, along with the Executive Branch, will be our only hope in the battle for our Democracy. We must strengthen Democrats’ hold on the Senate and retake the House. If you’re in a position to do so, please consider donating to or volunteering for your “blue” candidates. They can’t prevail without our help. #Politics

#SCOTUS issues a gutless 6-3 ruling generally favoring the Insurrectionist-in-Chief. Rule of law, my a**. Forget my idea to chisel off the word “Supreme” and just take the wrecking ball to this dump. #Politics

Remember: no political party “owns” the 4th of July or “patriotism” in general. Fly your flag proudly (and right-side up, please) and show your love for our beleaguered nation. There will be better days ahead if we keep up the fight, turn out the vote, and consign these MAGA traitors to the ash heap of history. #Politics

1/Brief #Politics thread. I wish I’d brought my noise cancelling headphones to the gym this morning. Our local MAGA folks were practically high-fiving each other and mocking Biden’s #PresidentialDebate performance. I usually hear NOTHING political at the gym. Today was nothing but joy, with several of them noting that if MSNBC saw Biden’s performance as a bad, that was awesome in terms of owning the libs. There were one or two remarks to the effect that “Trump didn’t do himself any favors.”

P for projection, Trump’s signature “tell”
That he understands that this will not end well

Free Republican moral compass. Never used.

Good news from North Carolina on the #Politics front. Definitely true in my home county where we are planning a blue tsunami!

Bogus video of President Biden “freezing” are the latest MAGA political shenanigans. Could the projection be ANY more SPECIFIC?? #Politics

After the next mass shooting, folks ought to surround this dump with crime scene tape. #Politics #SCOTUS

It’s ironic that supposedly brilliant legal minds like Justice Alito can fall for the old “off the record” conversation trick… and that they marry equally witless women who haven’t a shred of decency or decorum. #Politics #SCOTUS

Okay, Mango Mussolini, riddle me this: if everything is “rigged” by the all powerful
President Biden, why wouldn’t he have rigged his own son HUNTER’S trial?? #Politics

Listening to the Trump revenge tour underscores the message: “I’ll hurt the people you want to hurt.” His besotted followers never imagine that he’ll then turn on THEM. #Politics

With regards to Mango Mussolini’s freak out over sharks and electrocution risks from a sinking boat with a battery, I’ve had a thought. When the Titanic - which pretty much had an entire power plant in it - sank, there were survivors who spent extended time in the water without dying of electrocution. #Politics
