If the red states do this, here is a map of Illinois with ZERO majority GOP districts.

Bo Watson having a TikTok account is surprising. That it features a bunch of politicos drinking in a back room together is a choice, for sure. But him talking about extremists on “both sides?” Jesus Fucking Christ.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Yes, chanting "Genocide Joe" is definitely how you win elections.

This is how politics always works in this stupid country. Democrats have to answer for the actions of Leftists who would never even vote for them, yet Republicans get to pretend Republican governers don't represent their values.

@rocketpatrol.bsky.social Good to see you! I'll try to be on here more.

Winning a plurality is the opposite of a land slide.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated.

Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

I mean, I know if you're looking for a shining example of Conservativism working your options are limited, but Florida!?!?!

Of all the states they could to aspire to be like, they chose Florida?!?!

Also not beating the “CEOs are the jobs most replaceable by AI” allegations

A handsome coyote with a fluffy winter coat lies calmly on a rise. There are trees in the background. It stares at the viewer with an intent but benign expression.

Extreme Friday -- quitting time, and the end of the work week -- has swept into most of the Coyote Continent.

For those of you on a M-F schedule, Affirmation Coyote welcomes you to the weekend!

They wish those working tomorrow strength and perseverance.

The tech bros trying to program AIs are morons. I'm not even joking. I know someone who's working to help train one. And the people he's working with are utter morons. Imagine the dumbest possible way to train an AI. That's how they're doing it. I wish I was exaggerating.

Coyote standing in a meadow full of wildflowers. It looks at the viewer with a wise-ass expression.

You made it over the hump!

Enjoy the easy roll to the weekend.

This is perfect.

I'm a Recovering Catholic and none the less, I miss Pope Francis. He did good in the world and we're a sadder and dimmer place for his passing.

That's hilarious.
Also, two years in Purgatory, but hilarious none the less.

Incidentally, I think all the conservative Justices need nicknames. So for others so far I have Justice Kegstand, Justice Zealot and Justice Spineless. Not sure about #6. Maybe Justice Union-Buster?

You can tell the Supreme Court has a problem when @saraphinamarie.bsky.social can tell me the decision against Trump was 7-2 and I automatically know which two Justices were the dissenters.

It was Justice Bribery and Justice Corruption, by the way. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Spoken like a true Tennessean.

As a Tennessean, it brings me endless delight that Jim Comer, the dumbest person to ever serve as a committee chair in Congress, is from Kentucky.
