There is a distinct possibility that some people are too stupid to participate in a democracy

Sweeping flight delays. Plane crashes. Attacks on air traffic controllers. Excruciating TSA lines. Now, official threats to shut down air space.

This is one thing Republicans do when Americans wake up, begin rejecting fascism & GOPs realize they can only kill, threaten, extort & lie to keep power.

The Champions League commentator’s analysis just now that that “Arsenal will have to settle for a corner” demonstrates a serious lack of awareness about the team he’s covering.

Go vote.

An “I voted” sticker. It says “Yo voté” at the top and “I voted” at the bottom. It has a picture of a frog on a pedestal, drawn by a school kid, and the year 2025.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Jeffries: "The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program. That's the reason they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva."

Trump just told CBS he doesn't know who Changpeng Zhao is — the cryptocurrency billionaire he pardoned last month with ties to the first family's own crypto venture.

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

Just noticed when I took this screen shot long after the games were over, they still were missing one match update at the bottom the table. I give up.

America has no idea what's about to hit them. "Young Republicans" are fully steeped in neo-Nazi edge lord talking points. Fuentes is the present and future of the GOP. After Trump, this is the new form of MAGA. The establishment isn't built for this fight.

The Firewall Against Nick Fuentes Is Crumbling

The white-supremacist influencer is entering the MAGA mainstream.

* ADRAN Premier. I don’t even know an “Adrian” and my iPhone won’t let me type the league name without changing it. Sorry, folks.

Chip Pate @wspate.bsky.social · 2d

Adrian Premier finally updated the entire table (they’re often late and sketchy in their information posts and updates).

So here we are doing into the next matchday in two weeks. Let’s go, Reds! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 #askwxm

Wrexham Women’s next matchday (Nov. 16) could be quite interesting.

Jeffries: "Why have House Republicans remained on a taxpayer funded vacation for the last 6 weeks? Of course they are unserious as it relates to reopening the government. Why has Trump spent more time on the golf course, including this weekend, than he has talking to Democrats on Capitol Hill?"
