There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Imagine Republicans like Burchett shutting down the entire U.S Government in order to avoid swearing in a duly-elected representative from Arizona, because it might lead to exposure of rapists and pedophiles now in the halls of power.

Oh, wait. Don't have to imagine. It's ongoing.

Imagine lying as easily as @RepTimBurchett does. Nobody is paying the millions of people who will be out there.

Wanting better for your country isn’t hating it, Tim. Quite the opposite. It’s real patriotism. 🇺🇸

Throwing out the constitution to cling to power is the real hating your country.

"Busy" is the one thing that #SmarmySmile Johnson has NOT been. The House has been in session only 20 days out of the last sixteen weeks.

Apropos of nothing:
I love reading Proust, especially these days. His fictional Combray is a desert island of peace, sanity, and safety. It is hack-proof, surveillance-proof, resistant to meme-ing and degradation, and closed to anyone lacking gentleness. It may prove my last refuge in this world.

I think the idea of "cancel culture" persists mainly because it conveniently is some outside force acting on someone rather than them torching their reputation all on their own

What was that. Jon Stewart line?

U.S. AG Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade!

Russell Vought says we need to illegally shut down the CFPB because it’s terrorizing small mom-and-pop lenders. The CFPB only regulates lenders with assets worth more than $10 billion. The amount of blatant spinning and lying in this administration is disgusting

And they're betting that suppression will affect the other side's voters more than theirs, which seems questionable.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.
