Factio Republicana delenda est
It is long past time to burn the Republican Party to the ground.
Cultural/racial bigotry combined w anti-democracy, anti-rule of law belief they're rulers of the world and everyone must acquiesce=fascist Americans so odious.

Could be coincidence. Could be divine Providence. God only knows.
An overwhelming number of MAGA Republicans have been arrested for pedophilia. Feels like I see a new one get arrested almost everyday.

It sounds to me like what you are saying is that Republicans are just horrible people. Very bad citizens, and horrible people. What other conclusion would even be possible, given your stated premises—- which appear to me inarguably to be true?

What are the BENEFITS of all these data centers? I know they make money for a few insiders, and that's very, very important of course, but what is their value added to society? How will they make our lives better and easier? Because if the answer is "AI", color me utterly unpersuaded.

The less Rick Scott says about health care delivery in the U.S., the better off our society will be. When he does speak on this subject, he should be universally mocked and otherwise disregarded. He is just awful, both as a human being and as a senator. And in all other respects. But I digress.

Some people say that this country would heal much better and faster if Trump spent the rest of his natural life, and a bit of time thereafter, in prison for his many crimes of which he is completely unrepentant. Personally, I think they make a good argument,in part because Trump is a POS. No offense

Jeffries exudes profiles in fecklessness.
A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.
A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

The Roberts Court will go down in history as having upheld the desires of Donald Trump and the GOP, rather than its commitment to justice, precedent or the rule of law.
Today’s ruling — which substitutes its own fact finding for that of the lower court — is yet another example.

This does not further diminish my estimation of Trump‘s intelligence, mental capacity, cognitive state, understanding of his general surroundings or knowledge of basic historical information known to every mentally competent human being on Earth. Trump’s spewing is merely confirmatory of the obvious
Did you see the one where self-identified military genius and fake historian extraordinaire conservative, Republican General Bonespurs, aka Lord Dampnut, explained WW2 ended in 1917 because the Great (Flu) Pandemic made all the soldiers sick? Wrong war, wrong date, and no, not really.

In defense of Senator Tom Cotton, he is a moron and is not responsible for anything he says or purports to think. A person without a conscience should not be judged in the same way that normal human beings are judged.
an example of starting to believe your own bullshit. does anyone think being a drug smuggler is a "fight"? It's a business. they're so deep into this "narco-terrorist" language they're thinking these are some kind of hardened cocaine ideologues. theyre all eager to join Mar a Lago.
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

But it also should be mentioned that the so-called Senate health “leader” voted to confirm RFK Jr., in a move revealing that senator to be a spineless, feckless coward who is in fact morally and personally responsible for everything RFK Jr. has done subsequently.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The corrupt Rethuglican 6 so-called “Justices” continue to operate in blatant bad faith, farcically. And disgracefully. And oh so predictably.There is not a thread of integrity, honor or decency in any one of them. They have fully earned our mockery and contempt of the institution they have trashed
Sigh. I keep hoping for some sign of moderation from Roberts, Kavanagh, and Barrett but apart from not joining the Alito opinion, we have only their votes. Which, again, as they have been almost always, are silently in favor of Trump and the party he owns.
The Supreme Court lets the Texas racial gerrymander go forward, overruling the three-judge district court. In so doing, it tells us that as of December 2025 it is too close to the 2026 election to redraw maps.

Some of these deaths were preventable. Donald Trump and Elon Musk—and all of their enablers—chose not to prevent them. Theirs will be a legacy of mass death.
This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.
