That is the current era of politics. Buy a pardon, buy a scotus, buy an hour. Everyone has a clear price.

The saying with the current MAGA crop of "Every accusation is a confession" seems to be worth exploring here.

The issue about us believing his lies or not is inconsequential. What really matters is; do the GOP voters care if he lies?

Will they try to reduce the complaint to a misdemeanor of assault with a ham sandwich again? </snark>

The US has more school shootings in the last 14 days than Canada has had in "ever". There is no surprise that the US media audience is not merely numb to such events, but claim it to be "unthinkable" simply to mean they won't think of it.

Remarkable? Yes. Surprising? No.

Let’s imagine that we had a special election each time instead of an appointment. What would that cost tax payers?

Whatever excuse they give will almost certainly be a lie.

Why follow the law or even a court order when you have a complete pardon dangled in front of you?

Shut it down. Cave, and the votes will turn on you.

Where should we send a subway coupon for a ham sandwich?

After that kind of ride, I fully respect someone saying β€œI’m done”.

There is some massive defect in a person who even thinks that kind of thought.

What I find specifically interesting is the increased margin of the results from last year's election using Harris' margin as a benchmark.

Here's the USDA's contingency plan to keep SNAP funded during a shutdown. The USDA just deleted it from their website.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

Increasing suffering is the MAGAt way. Keep it shut down until they negotiate.
