Kinda poetic how James Comey made this possible for James Comey.

I'll push back on this a little. There's validity to the idea that it takes more to unify the L than it does the R. Consider how vast the chasm was for many between Bernie and Hillary...in both directions. Many in both camps would refuse to vote for the other. For a myriad of non-essential reasons.

Celebrities exist on a continuum...maybe attend the wedding of a less vile one? Still checks the box.

Roberts: the real architect of all this...sculpting the law to support this new reality.

The Roberts Court exists to give legal cover to bigots

The majority decision in US v. Skrmetti is the latest example.

His response would be funny if it weren't so alarmingly stupid. Like what does he think the word "detention" means? Of course, he's also just repeating lines he was instructed to say. Also scary

BREAKING: At 11 MILLION attending, No Kings Day numbers are approaching the critical key 3.5%... Political scientist's "3.5% rule" states that no government has EVER held power after 3.5% of its population take to the streets. Let's go!!!

They seemed to have missed the giant fact that immigrants - incl illegal - contribute more to the economy than they take. Actually their whole premise that the divide between 'givers' and 'takers' conforms to their preferred in and out groups is false. The real takers hide behind these stereotypes.

Gross. Talk about punching down. For easy points with people the Left shouldn't be allying with...iow, Newsome is fake Left.

There's never any attending remorse about it either...they act like majorly fucking up bc you neglected to read what you voted for is nbd...such casual disregard for the importance of their role, the gravity of their duty.

Talk about getting canceled...buh-bye.

They're always so damn whiny when they lose...like maybe you were voted down simply because nobody agrees with your shitty ideas. That's not 'politics' that's true 'meritocracy.' People don't like what you're selling.

Like they care about following protocol...and it will take the courts 4-5 months to catch up to them.
