  • With much of the public’s attention on the looming presidential election and high-stakes jockeying over who will take on Donald Trump in November…

    What the fuck is with all of these articles suggesting that there is a real power battle over who will run against Trump at this point? That ship sailed at least six months ago. There isn’t nearly enough time to build up a new candidate. If you don’t want Trump to become king, get behind the onky other choice we truly have.

    Ugh, Trump is going to win because democrats can’t hold their fucking noses and vote for their onky other choice.


  • said that they didn’t even start debate prep until 11 am each day at Camp David

    Do we know what he was doing before 11am? He has other duties besides preparing for the debate. While probably his most important immediate task, he still needs to take briefings on things like the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, the consequences of recent SCOTUS decisions, and the dumbass shit that Trump said.

    I agree that this doesn’t make me feel better about him, but I don’t think that starting debate prep at 11am and taking an afternoon nap means that Biden was slacking off. It may just mean that he’s got other things to worry about.




  • I don’t usually use much profanity but this is a fucking travesty and the six conservative justices are traitors to the American people. They should all be impeached for blatant corruption and for being bought and paid-for by industry interests. They’re not even going to be embarrassed about their scientific mistake except that they got caught out on not understanding what they’re ruling on. They know they aren’t the experts in everything. They just want corporations to have free reign and for them to be able to trample the rights of citizens.

    This is going to allow the courts to rapidly unwind decades of progress that has been made on some of the most important subjects including environmental regulations, workplace regulations and employee rights, antitrust law, and anticorruption law to name a few. Between this and the Jarkesy decision we’re going to go back to the days of burning eyes in Los Angeles and Lake Erie on fire, deadly workplaces and no employee right to organize, anticompetitive corporate practices with no oversight, and rampant corporate fraud. There is no longer a reasonable enforcement mechanism due to Jarkesy and there is now no real rule-making authority.

    As I said before, all six conservative justices should be impeached for blatant corruption and working against the best interests of the American people. I’d settle for impeaching Alito and Thomas, but they should all be impeached. They are traitors to the American people.






  • I don’t agree with these religious nuts but, in this case, I don’t think they’re completely off base regarding “God given rights”. The Declaration of Independence (not the Constitution) says:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    I wish the Declaration didn’t include “by their Creator” but it does.
