Honestly still in shock that the most crooked American President in history said "I need immunity" and the GOP Supreme Court said "well, it's nowhere in the constitution, but sure, why not? Whats the worst that could happen?"

kamala harris running for president is currently a non-starter. now, maybe it was my correctly picking wes clark, jon huntsman, rick perry, and pete buttigieg for president, but if she can just get nancy mace as her running mate, that's a guaranteed unity ticket. i haven't had a real job in 35 years

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

This is your reminder that the Union did not enter the war to end slavery but discovered that ending slavery was the only way to win the war. Everything that has brought us here needs to be dismantled if we want to survive. That’s not radicalism; that’s pragmatism.
