*endless screaming*

really burying the lede here, but I guess it's not surprising that WaPo is doing more serious journalism than NYT

see?!

first of all, gross. second, how the hell are the Chiefs the underdog? they've been to 4 of the last 5 Super Bowls and they have the entire Swifty swarm cheering them on.

pfft, BTS name-dropped Usher in Butter in 2021 😒

lol welcome to the entire American South. spending billions on fancy football stadiums while the schools languish and crumble is standard operating procedure down here.

and y'all wonder why I fucking hate football.

AND TRUMP. let's not forget that one of the CURRENT CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT is also using the dehumanizing language of FASCISM and STOCHASTIC TERRORISM.

TEXAS: STATES' RIGHTS! YOUR LAWS STOP AT MY BORDERS!

ALSO TEXAS: wtf you can't get abortions or transgender care in other states, WE made that illegal!

WE COULD HAVE HAD ELIZABETH WARREN

HIS SECOND IMPEACHMENT WAS LITERALLY FOR INCITING AN INSURRECTION YOU DRUNKEN FRAT BRO RAPIST HACK

um, the events of January 6th were definitely organized - we have literally convicted the non-presidents who organized it - and the effort was definitely concerted, and the goal was definitely to overthrow the government - specifically to use violence to override the government's certification of the election results in order to replace the duly-elected president with the loser. so how is that not an insurrection?

except the voters aren't going to be deciding whether or not Trump is FIT to be president, just whether or not they WANT him to be president. and as Republicans have already made clear, they want him to be president no matter what he does. hell, they would vote for him to be president if his J6 speech had literally said "I AM LEADING AN INSURRECTION AGAINST THE US TO SEIZE POWER INDEFINITELY AND DISMANTLE THIS UNION AND ITS DEMOCRACY." they are not voting with integrity.

actually, I'm pretty sure the drafters of the 14th amendment just wanted states to stop sending literal Civil War officers and traitors right back to Congress. like you just got done trying to destroy this country, you don't get to saunter back in and pretend you're going to represent its best interests.

first of all, one state barring Trump from the ballot doesn't give that state control over the entire election. Trump's not going to win Colorado even if he IS on the ballot.

but individual states decide elections all the time. Trump was only president in the first place because of Michigan. if you don't want "one state deciding an election" then abolish the fucking electoral college already and do this shit on a national popular vote.

well it SHOULD'VE been Congress, but they abdicated that responsibility because the GOP is a fucking cult. barring that, it should be the judicial system, same as any other J6 defendant, but nobody has the balls to charge, try & convict Trump of insurrection even though they've convicted the rest of the J6 organizers of insurrection.

it definitely should NOT be the national electorate, who has also abdicated their responsibility to keep despots from power because THE GOP IS A FUCKING CULT.

just because something is politics-adjacent doesn't mean it's political. yes, if you are ACTUALLY being political, then by definition you must be partisan. and as a reminder, "partisan" is not a swear word, especially when one side has actual morals and beliefs and policies.

getting a little tired of seeing this headline every month

fuck them. plenty of countries and people didn't agree to the creation of Israel but we made it anyway, because it was THE RIGHT THING TO DO for a people facing attempted extermination. now the shoe's on the other foot and we're supposed to do a 180? fuck Bibi, fuck the bigoted Israelis, let the CIA do its thing and make this happen already.
