Watching @joyannreid on #MSNBC cover some states' positions of not just wanting criminal penalties for abortions, but including the death penalty among possible penalties, and I literally cannot fucking process what is on TV. #Politics is tricky but this is *different*. Like a state rep saying a child dying of abuse is not good for the child but a benefit for society because lifelong services won't need to be paid for. There is a newly naked cruelty.
We got some political discourse, you could call it. In a truck. Outside of Target. Facepalm. #Politics

It is State of the Union day so I am wearing aviators as a show of support for Sleepy Uncle Joe who whipped the economy into better shape than anyone could have predicted. And whom I still don't want to run in 2024. This is also a reminder to all of us pol junkies to use #s when posting / commiserating about the speech tonight.

Quick reminder about the Brandenburg decision since it is going to be mentioned a lot now that Meta is back to licking the ass of TFG (for lack of balls). Hot take: fuck the Brandenburg decision and
classical liberalism and make the ban perpetual.

Now that George Fuckface Santos is on a committee dealing with space, I would like someone with good connections to talk to The Universe and make these two things happen please:
1. George Fuckface Santos gets referred to as Space Cadet GFS
2. He gets sent to Mars. During the multi-year trip, I am sure we can either come up with something or someone can hack his life support.
Pretty please! If you have her number, call The Universe.

Remember when Biden was screeching possessively that those were his very own fucking documents? Yeah, me neither.
#Politics
I believe I still have enough fingers and toes to count the *pages* of classified docs that Biden kept inappropriately. TFG had more *boxes* than that. Sure, Sleepy Uncle Joe has done and fucked up. But he hasn't *lied* about it. He rushed them to the National Archives. TFG obstructed justice. I am so fucking tired of facts not mattering on the MAGAt side.

The "right to bare arms" was a most frequent and most frequently ridiculed typo in government classes. Now, in Missouri, it is a battle for female legislators. So much facepalm for my home state

Biden's bravos haven't made it to our un-modernized kitchen yet to confiscate the gas stove, so I am cooking some mean Hungarian chicken. Although the entire country is only the size of Illinois, it matters what town the paprika is from.

The classified documents found by Biden's aides briefly made me consider whether the American public was capable of comprehending what a false equivalency was. Then I laughed and laughed.

My current mental image of Nancy Pelosi is one where she is sipping a cocktail.
#Politics
I don't see Kevin McCarthy's speakership as a head of lettuce. I see it as an avocado: took exceedingly long to get to ripeness, and after an insanely short time, it turns to shit.

Fuck Kirsten Sinema. Leaving the Dems is logical but fuck her regardless.

Griner is freed, Whelan is not. Biden says he is working on getting him too.
#Politics
They had to give up a fucking arms dealer in exchange for an athlete, which irks me, but at least Griner is free
