For a guy who knew nothing about it, he sure liked appointing Heritage Foundation people to, well just about everything.

The model for conservative thought is Hungry, now an extreme form of Christian Nationalism. Heather Cox Richardson connects the dots between Heritage and Orbán.

Republicans in Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas have discussed restricting or outright barring no-fault divorce, which was first approved by California's Republican Governor Ronald Reagan in 1969.

If I penned, "Why don't I read the NYT?" Would the Times publish it? I'm betting it would be more factual than the OpEd they ran with.

Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.

Scott Dworkin points out that Trump isn't immune to our votes. The Supreme Court may have decided that he can be a king, but that doesn't hold water if enough of us vote for Joe Biden. Solidarity is what it takes. A crowned Trump would be a nightmare.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

Poland saved itself from autocracy w/massive voter turnout: "leadership played a pivotal role... a veteran insider successfully challenged an authoritarian incumbent... baggage of Tusk’s career was offset by the benefits of his vast experience.. self-restraint & collaborative spirit were crucial."

Gift: "The DOJ isn’t governed by the election calendar. Its prosecution of TFG is based on the law, the facts & the Justice Manual — the dept’s bible that lays out the post-Watergate norms that have prevented it from being weaponized. Until those norms change.. full speed ahead. And [it] should be.”

For it or not, he needs to be reminded of it if and when the opportunity hopefully arises—geezer lesson. It is something that the entire party should be putting out there as part of its platform. I know it doesn't have the zing of the 2025 project. 😀

Is the race between Rick Scott and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell a close one? Could we get rid of Rick Scott in November? If someone could arrange that, that would be great.

Trump has perfectly described the Republican Brain since Reagan. The only thing that matters is popularity or, in his words, Ratings. Right and wrong don't matter. Truth or fiction is equally irrelevant—just ratings.

Note that they never mention voters. That's because voting does not factor into their vision of America. Not at all.

If Rudy thinks Trump will toss him a crumb should he regain power, he is even dumber than I thought. And I think he is a complete idiot. Obligations, trust, loyalty? With Trump, that all flows in only one direction—toward him.

It's not just the Supreme Court that's corrupt. Today, in Louisiana, another radical Trump appointed judge decided that dirty LNG projects should go forward, even if they poison Americans.

Wow, respecting an election result that "both parties agree to" is pretty vague language on a straightforward question. He also says that he worries about the dictatorship headed by a man who, most on the right, isn't even running things. Vagueness and inconsistency are part of the GOP brand.

"Following that logic, TFG could not have been charged with a crime if he had ordered the Justice Department to arrest every Democrat who holds elective office." - Based on the new leeway given to an American "president," we can't afford to allow someone with TFG's temperament into the WH. Too rash.

There’s a reason Donald Trump doesn’t talk about how his policies will help the working class —because they won’t. All of his policies are put up for auction for corporations and billionaires to bid on. He’s the official spokesperson for corporate greed.
