Hey, I looked and sounded better seven years ago! After 40, it’s like our bodies age in dog years: seven for every one calendar year.

Wrong! But only because it’s going to get worse as he shifts from financial crimes to crimes against democracy (e.g. using the military and security services to thwart elections and repress protests).

I agree, but if the Dems win Congress & the presidency in 2028, I doubt that any consequences will happen. After all, Obama ignored the torture and human-rights abuses under Bush and Biden ignored until too late the attempted coup under Trump. Why think it will be any different?

McConnell could have saved this world a lot of grief by leading the Senate GOP in convicting Trump in Jan. 2021. As far as I’m concerned, McConnell can fuck off & die.

Keep it up, Andy. Arizonans don’t like people who like pedophiles and won’t support them for governor.

Fact check: True. (The GOP have proposed killing the ACA quickly by repealing the law and have proposed killing it slowly by ending subsidies.)

Before tonight, the public almost universally blamed the GOP for premiums skyrocketing, but now the public will likely blame the Democrats, too, I assume?

And, senator, how many people will die because they can’t afford insurance without a subsidy and won’t get to vote in Nov. 2026?

It would be one thing if the GOP killed the filibuster to help average Americans, but they would use it to rip away health insurance, give even more tax cuts for the 1%, etc. In short, they would do the exact OPPOSITE of what the electorate showed last night it wants. Do it, GOP!

The causative association between driving around with a whale head on your car is not sufficient to say you're definitely a sicko. But it is very suggestive.

I find it ridiculous that we’re talking of “terms” and “election.” Trump doesn’t want to be elected to a third term. No, he wants to be president for life—no limits, no elections, no expiration date.
