Your twice weekly reminder that the fight is between those who want to “Terminate the Constitution” and those who do not. Everything else is distraction.
For everyone thinking of rejecting Biden for his policy on Gaza and the Middle East, might I remind you that Trump tried to pass a whole-ass MUSLIM BAN.
The U.S. Supreme Court takes up #gerrymandering again this year – looking in particular about how a judge can tell if South Carolina’s new map was done to unconstitutionally dilute Black voting power, or primarily to dilute Democrats’ voting power, which would be legal.
Last term’s decisions upholding the Voting Rights Act don’t apply or offer many clues.
In recent days, Democrats have tried to show our colleagues in the Republican majority a way out of the dysfunction and rancor they have allowed to engulf the House. That path to a better place is still there for the taking....
1: "Well, you have to give your social security number, a picture of the weakest part of your skull, and your home address to Hammers The Clown. You also have to download COVID 19 into your eyeball once per month."
2:"What that sounds terrible what does that have to do with--"

By all means, Republicans. Vote for Trump for Speaker so we can have a blue Tsunami in 2024. Show all of America that there is no non-MAGA Republican wing anymore. There are no moderates, no pragmatists, no actual conservatives left — just Trumpists. Admitting who they now are would be the first honest thing Republicans had done in years.
Trump's speech in California was absolutely insane. The leader of the party of "law and order and due process" calls to execute shoplifters on the spot. The crowd cheers.
There's some serious thirst for blood there. It's frightening. #uspol#trump
Republican: fascist, authoritarian, Mostly rich old white dudes being racist towards blacks and telling them how they know whats best for them. Their politicians wear red ties
Democrats: fascist, authoritarian, Mostly rich old white dudes being racist towards blacks and telling them how they know whats best for them. Their politicians wear blue ties
Can anyone suggest a candidate other than Biden or Trump that look fairly moderate and a good choice? I have ruled out all third-party, all alternative democrats, and of course Trump... This leaves me thinking maybe one of the republican candidates are worth voting for but so far every one of those I checked out are pretty horrific too...
Is there even one candidate that is remotely a reasonable and moderate choice?
We have this misconception that #Democracy is executing the will of the majority... But thats not true.
Any democracy that gives 51% of people what they want, even when that is abusive to the wishes of the 49% will not survive, that leads to revolution... democracy has never been about majority rule.
What democracy is about is rule by the people, ALL the people. Any successful system will reach agreements that nearly everyone will be happy enough with so as not to pick up a gun and shoot the other side for oppressing them. Its about compromising enough that everyone can settle rather than agree.
This is exactly why the electorial college and other elements of government exist rather than a simple 51% rule... because we want to make sure any idea has atleast some level of support from most represented groups... so in the end the ones who may not like the vote can at least live with it.
Speaker-in-name-only McCarthy could cut a deal with Democrats to keep the government open. Five breakaway Republicans in swing districts could work with Democrats to keep the government.
Don't let ANY Republican off the hook because they won't stand up to the extremists in their own party.

When your Senate Minority leader appears to not know what's going on when spoken to and needs aides to prod them on what was just said, it's time to retire.
