Vote. But it'll take more than votes.

@feloneouscat @tgraph52 And barely that to hear Stormy Daniels tell it.
@feloneouscat Teamster leadership has always been infamous for corruption. Which provided the ammunition for GOP to demonize all unions and get public support for union busting laws from the very people lifted into the middle class by unions.

The eight stages of Trump’s guilt:
1. “I didn’t do it”
2. “I didn’t do anything wrong”
3. “I didn’t do anything illegal”
4. “The people accusing me are guilty”
5. “The law is illegal”
6. “Prove it!”
7. “What happened didn’t happen”
8. “It’s fine, I did it and I’ll do it again...”

^^^ This is the crap Fox 'News' feeds the idiots who still watch them. Fox is REPONSIBLE for their complete stunned disbelief when Trump loses again. They LIE and brainwash these idiots who they KNOW are clearly so dumb as shit they'll believe anything and have zero critical thinking skills.
But these same idiots will be the ones trying to overthrow the government in January or sooner because they were fed all about how the Dems are in disarray and Trump can't lose, so it must have been stolen.
@kob I hope the same, but think it's unlikely the GOP can ever recover. The nation needs a conservative party, but as Kinzinger pointed out at the DNC, the Republican party is NOT conservative.
Too many real conservatives have been purged, and too many cult members put in positions of power. I think it will have to be a new party, perhaps founded by Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush...
@QueenOfEverything @feloneouscat I think it was Jordan Klepper who said the border wall was just like his **** - he couldn't get it up.
@Tarnagh @BenA @JV3MJD You're right. Also, as some here pointed out, it was written with lower case letters which T is unable to do.
Likely one of his campaign staffers, who have been begging him to shut up the insults and try to behave like a president or just a normal person, posted it on his behalf. And when he sees it, enraged, he'll fire the staffer and go back to taunting Kemp.
@JolieSaboteuse Ha ha! Perfect.

My hopes are high that this diversity that comprises the United States is about to reclaim their identity.

A lot of speeches (and I didn't listen to all of them) I ended up tuning out. Not Vice President Harris's. I was on the edge of my seat, hanging onto every next word. It was a riveting performance.
You could not fairly listen to that speech and not see that Vice President Harris is ready to be President today and has been ready for a long time.
@badkoukla @LiberalLibrarian You're right. Above 3rd grade reading level means staffer. When TFG sees it he'll fire the staffer and hurl childish insults at Kemp.

I feel like I need to send Kinzinger's speech to my conservative friends. #DNC

@Iveyjanette1 @QueenOfEverything Do you think he knows the difference between Stepin Fetchit and Frederick Douglass? (Whom he thinks is still alive.)
@Iveyjanette1 @QueenOfEverything Cue the AI to generate an endorsement by... What's her name? ... Aretha Franklin... All these Black singers look alike to him you know, people are saying 😉

The Rs say that they believe in small government. But they sure always seem to think that they know the best way for you to bring up your kids, and in what way their behavior and sense of style reflects on your parenting skills; and they think they can judge you by whether you've had kids, and how many, and at what age; and that these should be matters that determine someone's fitness to vote or hold political office.
That kind of obsession doesn't sound 'small government' to me.
@Cosmichomicide @feloneouscat Agree with you on Wood and Klepper, but would put Desi Lydic also in top tier. Ronny Cheing and Stewart are good, second tier. Troy Iwata shows promise for the next generation. But above them all, nobody matches Trevor Noah, we want you back man!
