Fuck the appeals court very much for lowering the bond on TFG

I am super worried about the elections and I have been desperate to find signs of hope. I love you all on here, and lovey fellow progressives everywhere, but we are not the hope I seek. We are not going to change minds. But I found a group who might: Republican Voters Against Trump. They have a better chance of changing minds than 'us'.

I like the settlement in the FL 'don't say gay' lawsuit

I watched all of ScarJo on SNL before watching Katie Britt. Am I doing it right? I am, aren't I ?

Just caught Ali Velshi talking with Ruth Ben-Ghiat and I am having stomach cramps because I know Cheetofuck could be president again. I know that not in my panicked progressive guts but in my political scientist brain. Sorry to shit on your Saturday, tho.

I am still drinking coffee and so functioning is not optimal, BUT: the star informant for the case to impeach Biden is a Russian operative AND the MAGA asylum says Taylor Swift's relationship history is a Psy ops maneuver???? I either need to up the caffeine or switch if to something else entirely
I may be mature but this made me giggle

Navalny dying in a Russian prison is very sad but utterly unsurprising. He was 47. There has been no progress in international affairs, or human interactions, or anywhere. Gulags, dictators, death and destruction. We are learning nothing and we are proving that progress is a myth.
For those who remember the story of our friend the gay pastor being pushed of the Library Board last summer, the lawsuit has been filed. There is a chance at justice of sorts. Mayor, city council, Christianist pastor who started it all, county Republican chair who supported it, are the ones are being sued.
I just logged on to see how y'all were phrasing that Cheetofuck is not immune and you did not disappoint.

The Republicans have censured Sen. Lankford, the arch-conservstive who wrote the draconian border bill, simply because TFG wants the bill to fail. GOP shall henceforth stand for Gelding Operatives Posse.

Please tell me I am not the only sicko waiting for this to be used. Or am I ?

In the blue corner we have an 80-something Catholic with a stutter. In the red corner we see the nationally televised cognitive decline of a convict who would like to imprison or kill rivals. The whole thing is an aberration, but by God the choice is not difficult.

Nikki Haley said "America is not a racist country" and she is technically right because America is a continent and not a country. But otherwise fuck me sideways I may have been explaining the Three Fifths Compromise in the Constitution incorrectly to undergrads for twenty years.
#Politics
Iowa caucus-goers are, in their own minds, working on saving America. Some of them also think that God chose Cheetofuck to be the one they vote for. We got a problem. I.e. we are fucked.

Happy MLK Day! Can we please get away from banal quotes and focus on how Dr. King was a socialist ? That would be an awesome celebration
One last #Politics post for 2023:
I understand being disenchanted with Biden. But anyone who lets that lead them to not vote for him on account of naive idealism and their own ideological purity, is childish and selfish: they are unable to see past their precious little chickenshit preferences. They don't get that politics is not about their own entitled individual opinions. It is about avoiding #authoritarianism FFS. Yes, I am angry and scared.
#Politics
TFG not being on primary ballots may be exciting but:
- SCOTUS unlikely to bar him from general election ballot - they are more likely to shriek about atates' decisions and rights and shit and do nothing
- if TFG is not in the primary ballots, the Republican Convention could rebel against form and tradition and give him the nomination regardless
- Biden can't strategize until he knows who he is running against
- have you thought about a Haley presidency?
