1) all the bad shit happening are because we didn’t vote hard enough for Democrats
2) 8 suck ass Dems just did a suck ass thing, but please see point 1
We’re in a shitty feedback loop where Dem voters are discouraged, Republicans win and make shit worse, and Dem voters get more discouraged.

I love how over the weekend Kegseth was drunk posting Franklin shooting the people in the boats, but by Monday they moved to blaming the Admiral, as if the drunk boasting never happened.

Bar is so low for the media that I'm feeling encouraged that an obvious war crime generated a second news cycle.

Are the Caribbean boat killings “war crimes” or plain old murder? Or something else? How’s this work, legally? We’re not at war with Venezuelan traffickers, and definitely not with fishermen!

Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

I’d be far more inclined to shrug off the Trump/MRI story if he didn’t keep saying weird things about it.
After two months of questions, he has “no idea” what part of his body was tested? His meandering answer referenced his first impeachment and a cognitive exam for no reason?

The lingering mystery surrounding Trump’s MRI takes a weird turn
Almost two months later, the president said he’ll release the test results, though he still doesn’t know what part of his body was scanned.

and yet the press will cover the republican party as the pro law-enforcement party for the rest of our lives
Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began.
"I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."
