Hey Cowgirl! Thanks for the mention.

I wasn’t comparing moral, ethical, legal, spiritual or any other equivalency. I was simply stating that both sides have reason to dig in. The impasse remains regardless of who holds the high ground. Still, if there are real elections, Rs will, one hopes. pay the price for their cruelty.

The shutdown has no easy off-ramps. Dems can’t surrender; their base will feed them to alligators, and health care is critical. Rs can’t surrender because Trump can’t look weak. He needs to dominate. We may be in for a long winter.

I’m getting a whole batch of MAGAgrams, bots, and, I guess, OnlyFans recruiters. Probably a sign of the Sky’s growing popularity, but it was so nice before they showed up.

Very snappy Nazi salute. They’re getting the hang of it. Cosplay for monsters.

MTG is going through some shit. Feels like she’s figured out some of the grift and she’s willing to speak. That in itself is quite something. But then you see how hard she struggles with her old MAGA devotion. Strange days.

Trump is dying. A little too slowly, alas. But he is most def winding his way down.

She’s flat, singing-wise. Tin ear.

I know a rabid raccoon who is a better American than Trump. And an earthworm. And a rusty shovel.

Pretty sure if people could afford it, they’d rather go to a grocery store. They’re at the food bank because they need to be there.

Ditto. Feels very strange.

Right on schedule. As the MAGA blitzkrieg stalls & Trump faces growing opposition, they respond with more threats and attacks. Revenge is on the menu now, and the hunger for it is too hard to resist. It’ll be messy. They have power but not a lick of sense.

You know, my honest answer is we haven’t begun to grasp the damage to our country, with much more to come. The old US ideal is gone & ain’t coming back. But I also think they will lose in the end. Their strength —hatred — is also their weakness. We may end standing on rubble but we will rise.

True dat. Come on, people, the Democratic Party has some housecleaning to do. Well-intentioned people [read: Schumer, Jeffries, et al] may be too tired or comfortable or scared or too old or out of ideas. We have nothing left but the fight. If you can’t lead us to the sound of the guns, sit down.

Anybody have any actual knowledge about what has become of Alligator Alcatraz and all the kidnappers, many of whom at last word had simply disappeared. Haven’t seen an update yet.

Gutsy call. Pointing toward actual science around here can get you a one-way ticket to Sudan.

Yeah, but the Constitution does have a few loopholes they can crawl through. When the bottom falls out beneath MAGA, we’ve got our work cut out. SCOTUS top of the list.

Well, I did think the “traitors and killers” line kinda pointed toward my intentions. Then there was the bit about them promising to be better traitors and killers. Kinda snarky. Finally, there’s the Garland call-out about norms. Felling like that should suffice. Jeez.

Sarcasm was a little too nuanced for you?

I have never seen her be so intense with a Trump Republican.
