And it's not as if we didn't know this was going to happen. The most likely scenario is that they leave the Texas and California maps in place. We just have to make sure the margin is outside the cheat zone.

Well, sure, SCOTUS is about to endorse the lunatic fringe crackpot unitary executive theory but don't worry; they'll forget all about it the nanosecond a Democrat becomes president.

Democrats should NEVER vote for this performative bullshit from the MAGA Party. Abstain if you have to but don't give it any legitimacy. Peterson and Crow will STILL be denounced as socialists, communists, etc.

Wild how everything is more expensive than it was a year ago when prices were 24/7 news but now all we get are uncommented quotes from Cheeto Mussolini about how β€œold fashioned groceries” are now free

Trump is the short term problem; the long term problem is the inevitable future Trump who is neither lazy, incompetent, nor stupid.

Bad news for all the people solemnly assuring us the military wouldn’t obey illegal orders: every fucking person in the chain of command from Secy Drunken McRapist down to the guy who pulled the trigger had no apparent problem shooting guys in the water

BTW, it's actually really REALLY easy to properly appoint US Attorneys. It takes a special level of incompetence to both a) fuck it up and b) triple down on the fuckup

Way too many people who should know better prefer to comfort of conspiracy theories to the harsh reality of just how fucked up the American electorate is
