akshually…

scuttlebutt has been that the second the vote to vacate is triggered, 4 house republicans would immediately resign, putting democrats in the majority. there would be no more republicans in charge and we get a functional house with speaker hakeem jeffries for the next 8 months at least.

instead of threatening just do it already.

this is the problem with this republican party. they say they will do a whole bunch of shit and don’t do any of it.

if he actually is innocent, the absolutely best thing for him to do is to get them over with, then when he is acquited he can use his witch hunt and fake news talking points and gain votes.

pushing all of these trials and trying to bank on winning an election to get out of the majority of these charges (he can’t get around georgia that easily) is a 1% strategy in my opinion. that’s how I know he’s guilty. his entire post indictment behavior is one of a guilty party. I don’t really need to follow each case that closely to come to that conclusion. trump has telegraphed that he’s guilty.

I’m just worried that someone in his cult might end up on one of the juries.

this is a public political iq test.

we put into office a guy who held no elected office of any kind and look how that worked out. are you going to do that again and expect a better result?

a vote for west is a vote for trump.

these 3rd party runners have no realistic chance of winning the presidency and have a very real chance of sucking votes away from the only viable person who can beat trump.

serious question: how exactly does this work?

who else but a genius would buy a social media company, remove the things that made it functional and useful, reintegrate and allow to overpopulate elements that made it worse, and destroy a multi-billion dollar icon and name render useless a word that the thing you bought created and is universally understood because he thinks calling stuff X is cool?

not only a genius but ta soooper genius.

christian visibility day is any day that ends with “y”.

there is no place in this country where a christian is not only not persecuted for their beliefs but is publicly lionized for them if they profess them.

majorities that need to be publicly recognized is a absolute ploy to silence and opress minorities, the more marginalized the worse it is.

I wouldn’t buy one. good job. elon destroying your brand name.

free speech gym.

companies have the right to advertise wherever they choose to advertise. platforms for advertising are not guaranteed advertisers.

not unless you want to force them to advertise on platforms they don’t want to be on. but that would no longer be capitalism, what would that be? I can’t think of it it’s right at the tip of my tongue…

don’t blame me, I’ve never voted for this carpetbagging asshole who is using our seat to grandstand for an office he is never going to win.

stupid republicans. they were convinced that by putting the squeeze on pornhub they could dictate how that site operates when

1. this isn’t the web 1.0 anymore. websites have been able to geoblock content for at least 20 years now

2. vpns exist. it’s not going to stop people in texas from still visiting the site, nor is it the only free streaming porn site and

3. unless a credit card or drivers license is required, age verification is easy to get around. “this content is restricted to adults 18 and over (21 in utah). by clicking yes you acknowledge that you are of legal age by penalty of perjury. are you 18? (yes) (no)”. I was on adult sites at 16.

this law proves these people have no goddamned clue how the internet works.

this only really matters if they choose to resign before this term of congress ends otherwise these people are only going to be replaced by more maga cultist know nothings.

I honestly believe that is because rural areas are almost always represented by republicans, voted in by majority republican voters. both groups of which are extremely disinclined of making the entirety of human knowledge easily and quickly accessible, because then people might see how much things are better in other countries and start asking questions to their federal representatives.

yes, way to not only suffocate your electoral bench by sending every ha-penny to trump but now you’re intentionally reducing your potential voting pool and expecting to win bigly.

it would be goddamned hi-larious except for the fact that I know there will be a bunch of local democratic parties that will absolutely fuck this opportunity up.

I want to know that I understand this correctly.

using the northern district of texas as an example, a case now has a 1 in 11 chance of being heard by kacsmaryk instead of a 1 in 1 chance.

the problem isn’t the critical treatment of biden really. it’s the total double standard when it’s compared with trump then, trump now, and republicans in general. the political press is obviously treating the entire gop to a lower level of scrutiny than they are democrats. it’s been that way since the advent of fox news. I don’t think this is a coincidence.

I don’t think they’re trying to help trump per se. I absolutely believe they’re trying to foster outrage politics. and they are willfully ignorant of what they are reporting just so they can gain/maintain access. and they are so scared shitless of being labeled “liberal” that they are bending over so far backwards they’re facing front again that they normalize or equate everything a republican does to a democrat when it’s clear one is not the same level of scandal.

these are the same people who tell us that the people who frequent “this ohio/illinois/indiana/iowa diner” are more real americans than people who live in cities are.

doing all of that benefits trump. but I think that’s a side effect of the real problem. when you are catering to a homogenous audience and trying to pass it off as something that is the pulse of the country you’re going to get this type of unbalanced coverage.

sure, thank adam schiff now get destroyed by him in november since the democratic vote won’t be split 3 ways.
