“Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way...

I served proudly in the US military. But there is something so blasphemous, so idolatrous, so hubristic about identifying our own military power with God's will.

How can you "leak" a public policy proposal?

Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Man, every time I start thinking "cultural conservatives really can't be *that* bad" - I just read what they write, and there we are.

They tell on themselves every day.

Because quite literally there's *nothing* in it.

Ernst already told us: "Everybody dies anyway".

Perhaps she smells a shift in the populist dynamic, that other Republicans haven't smelled yet...

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Well, if being anti-Trp is illegal - then I'm illegal as fuck.

My only quibble is that he's still just focused on Trump.

IMHO Vance is even worse.

I’m just going to say it…

It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

This is how MAGA love works: they preach family values and loyalty, then cheat and move on the moment they can. It’s all performance, a moral façade for society while their actions betray the truth. Image over integrity, every time.
