Haha, look at all these people upset that a bad person is doing bad things! What a bunch of obsessed losers!

If you don’t like hearing us complain, feel free to slither back under whatever rock you crawled out of.

1st Amendment rights, anyone?

Funny how the right is always the first one to attack enshrined rights as soon as they are used against them.

I try not to be judgemental about such things. Everyone has different circumstances in life that might have prevented them from learning those skills. My fiancee, now in her 30’s, has never owned a bicycle and was never taught. She had a poor upbringing and so the funds were never there for her to be able to learn.

But man, I sure do wonder about the people whose parents did have the financial means for bike riding and swim lessons. Either the parents didn’t show any interest in teaching their kid how to do it, or the kid was not interested in leaning. Either way, it’s not really a good reflection on either the parents or the kid.

Biden granted Harris extended protection for whatever reason.

The assassin who targeted Trump in Butler also had his sights on Biden and other prominent Democrats. It’s not unreasonable to think that he might have had her best interests at heart considering the extremely tense political climate following those events and how she was elevated to center stage when he dropped out the race.

I would not be surprised at all if Trump never learned how to ride a bike or swim.

If only saying it could make it so.

It’s almost like… Trump’s crime crackdowns are completely divorced from reality and are based solely on state political affiliations and not actual crime statistics? Wow, I’m bloody shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

They’re never going to let this guy be free. They will continue to harass him and re-litigate this case forever until it eventually sticks. He needs to gather up his family and flee somewhere safe.

Fuck, that’s dreary.

The first man to bankrupt three casinos will soon be the president who bankrupted the military budget with all these useless deployments.

I hope as a side effect of this nonsense that cops everywhere feel emasculated, knowing that Trump holds them in such little regard that he feels the need to send in the national guard to do their jobs for them.

He is NOT JOKING. This is his plan.

You think he’s deploying the military on US soil because he gives a fuck about law and order? Guess again. He’s testing the waters now to see what he can get away with when the time comes.

Federal elections have never been cancelled or postponed in the history of the nation. Not even for the Civil War, or WWII. It’s mandated by the constitution.

Of course, hypocrisy is the modus operandi of the Republican party. They are just upset that we are finally starting to fight fire with fire, not because of what we are actually doing.

If we do the same bad behavior that we’ve let the Republicans get away with for decades, their only recourse is to do what we have been unable to do and actually legislate some rules into place that bind everybody equally. I’m honestly fine with either path at this point, either everybody gerrymanders the fuck out their their districts, or nobody does.

If this is what it takes to finally get some change in motion, I’m all for breaking every political norm in the book, and then setting the book on fire.

Trump is handling the peace negotiations in the most spectacularly embarrassing way. Giving the aggressors in a conflict concessions in exchange for a pinky swear that they won’t do it again? Wow, what a concept. Historically bulletproof strategy that has never failed or backfired in any way.

I saw someone write once that Trump is so obsessed with making deals, and being known as a great dealmaker, to the point where the terms of the deal are often irrelevant to him. If the terms are favorable, he honors the deal. If he discovers later that the terms were not favorable to him, he reneges.

This kind of behavior works when you are a billionaire developing real estate because the people he screws over rarely have the funds to fight him in court, and have their workers’ livelihoods to think about. Even if they do take him on, or they get a law team to work pro bono, he drags out the court proceedings and delays paying court judgements, or he opts to settle for much less than what was promised initially.

This doesn’t work in geopolitics, but he doesn’t know how to operate any other way. He wants to make a deal, and if he has to give away America’s most valuable natural resources to close that deal, he’ll do it. Doesn’t matter if Putin has no intention of giving up the fight in Ukraine, Trump just wants to feel like he’s some great peacemaker.

If there is another election, you can be absolutely certain he will rig it. Nobody is even bothering to push back against him this time. He can do whatever he wants to get his thumb on the scale, just like he is right now with redistricting.

Also, I’m not even convinced he didn’t rig the last one. He tried to cheat in 2020, failed, and nothing bad happened to him because the Democrats were too scared to put the full force of the law behind prosecuting him for it. Why wouldn’t he cheat again? Why would he ever leave office if the SCOTUS rules that the President is immune to both civil and criminal prosecution?

We’re past the point of being able to handle this any other way. We took the high road so many times the right can now set their watch to it. They understand that bad behavior will never be punished and “setting precedent” will mean nothing because Democrats will never use that precedent to act in a way that will give them any sort of unfair advantage.

If anyone has a way to defeat Republicans in a meaningful way without stooping to their level (gerrymandering, election denialism, obstruction, etc.) then I’d love to hear it. Otherwise, it’s time for the Democrats to roll up their sleeves and prepare to fight in the mud to save what little is left of American democracy. There’s still a chance to save the union without another civil war, but not if the opposition party doesn’t show the willingness to fight.

Trump is a pedo rapist. Release the files.

His Trumpcoin scam is one rugpull away from being converted to actual useful money.
