When it's all going to hell, I'm not going to share my safe space with any Trump voters.
lol this shouldn't even be a question. In a serious country it wouldn't even be a necessary comparison.

Everything Republicans tag themselves as is a lie... Pick one, party of national security, party of fiscal responsibility, Party of limited government, party of individual liberty, party of states rights, Party of lower taxes, none are true.

Doesn't really surprise me, the man was truly hated for years. How he ever became president in a country where he has been so thoroughly disliked by so many is deeply troubling.

We did that once upon a time with a tax code that had a top bracket from 70% to 90% and a corporate tax code of 50% give or take. It paid off to reinvest your money into your company and your employees, now it just pays off to fuck everybody and make your profit through the tax code.

Nothing has ever trickled down, yet so many people in this country are still convinced that if we just keep giving the wealthy more through our tax code, eventually it will. 🤦♀️

And while we sit here and bicker over science, advancing technology here, and pander to Elon musk's shitty, private charging network, China will be here before you know it as well.

Like I said, I don't think impeachment is the greatest platform. For a lot of reasons, mostly because unless we get the house majority and 66 senators, it's a meaningless promise that will piss off our side when it isn't kept. The fear of pissing off the cult? Fuck them, they're already pissed.

Yeah, you're right it kind of does. The criminal activity and grift all just blends together at this point.

Anything Democrats run on is going to rile up the cult. If we talk about taking back congressional powers, it'll piss them off. Ot6 putting down ICE, it'll piss them off. I agree there are better subjects to run on, but fear of riling up the inmates at the asylum can't be a consideration.

We also need to investigate just how much power people like Stephen Miller and Russ Vought have, what decisions they are making instead of Trump, and which one is running the country while Trump is napping all the time.

I remember when people stupidly cheered when bezos bought the post. Like a billionaire who can afford to buy a newspaper actually gives a fuck. I mean, he appeared to for a little while, but he's always going to act in his own best interest, and his best interest is fucking us now.

Florida's deadline is election day. It must be in hand by election day. You're kind of making my point here. The only random part of this is how many days a state gives a ballot after postmark on election Day to get through the mail. Florida gives none.

We'll find out, the three guys being replaced are supposed to return by December 8th. I don't know how they use the backup soyuz without a place to land. The SpaceX lifeboat may be an option, but it comes with higher risks and is for dire emergencies. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

I feel like these people are entitled to U Visas after incidents like this. They are victims of a crime with physical and/or mental distress, victims of crimes get U visas.

The law gives them 30 days to release the files. The bigger concern right now is how they're going to release the files given
Congressional Republicans just did a document dump from the DoJ that outed a bunch of victims who are now receiving calls from reporters and threats from lunatics.

No, each state doesn't set the deadline. The deadline is election day. Always, everywhere. The only thing they set is how long they give the post office to deliver the ballot to election officials. So please fucking stop.

Not to mention the January 6th terrorist attack that I swear to God was hatched by Republicans from the Benghazi incident where terrorists utilized a legit protest to commit acts of terror.
