It's appropriate that the Queen's birthday is on No King's Day 😁

But the only reason it appears 50-50 is because of the 2-party stranglehold. More than half of registered voters across the nation are 3rd party or unaffiliated. Start listening to those voices, break the 2-party hold, and just about every race WILL be competitive.

That fear is meaningless until they grow spines.

I'm constantly reminded of that old query lately....

If "pro" is the opposite of "con", what's the opposite of "progress"?

I would rather my tax dollars pay for every undocumented person's medical services than Trump's golf outings, the disgustingly gaudy gold plated crap he put in the WH, retrofitting a plane that will later be gifted to him, bailing out Argentina & Israel, or paying Lying Leavitt's salary.

😍😍😍😍

If he's that paranoid then he shouldn't be in government. He should be at home holed up in a bunker.

A few months ago I flew for the first time in several years. Got to security, showed by ID & pass. TSA told me "stand there, look here" and before I even realized it was a camera he'd taken the picture. Glad to know I can opt out in the future, but they aren't warning people at all.

So Ghislaine Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking girls to nobody?!?!

I honestly hate this holiday. Always have. This isn't due to politics. Just the abject asshattery of my neighbors.

Worth pointing out that Republicans had no opposition to nationwide injunctions being issued by district courts against Obama or Biden actions.

Honestly, I bet Uvalde was heavily on their minds when passing the bill. They don't want kids scared out of their minds & getting gunned down to have the ability to communicate. Because they don't want the public seeing/hearing it for fear of stricter gun laws.

The delay is simple. He's thumbing his nose at Congress because he believes he is above the law. And every single time he's allowed to break the rules without consequence, the more it emboldened him.

😮🔥😍

This really has Nichael Scott vibes. Except Michael was entertaining.

Of course they are. They're very busy writing strongly worded letters and social media posts.

I doubt the decision to deny ICE entry had anything to do with a political or moral stance. ICE's presence would hurt business & risk confrontation.

Dodgers didn't want to hurt their bottom line.

James, you have absolutely nothing to contribute to any discussion involving common sense. Crawl your MAGAt ass back into the rotting cheeto corpse.

Republicans never seek solutions. They want the problems to continue so they have something to campaign on.

Though, honestly, same can be said for most Democrats. Especially the "old guard."

And sadly, it just goes to show how authoritarian we have always been.

The event was sparked by a kid throwing mud. A soldier responded by using the butt of his rifle to break the kid's face. Onlookers were outraged so the soldiers called for back, then started shooting.

Same spin we see today.

I'm sure the cops will spin it that she "wasn't following commands", "advanced on police lines", and that they mistook her microphone for a gun.

"To quote this very well-researched book, in 1999 George Bush signed an EO..."

Um, lady, George Bush wasn't in office in 1999. He didn't take office until Jan 2001. So that book you're quoting isn't even moderately researched.

No, I didn't know that. But #GaelicStorm taught me that donkeys drink whiskey.

Meant Feinstein, not Boxer...it's been a long week lol.

Dems didn't learn that lesson with RBG. Or with Boxer. They likely won't learn now. Because it would require a level of self awareness that, at their age, they would already have if they were capable of learning it.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

If you see this, post a smile.

If you want to remain blissfully ignorant that's absolutely your right. But don't make a post asserting claims on such a topic & then get butt hurt when you're corrected

I never claimed to be super smart. I'm just pointing out that you apparently are confusing concepts

The fact that you think holding a job or buying goods is somehow inherently capitalistic demonstrates this.

Both of those predate Capitalism by eons.
