NY is the one jurisdiction where the justice system has delivered consequences to Trump's enterprises. I won't say I'm optimistic, particularly with judges failing to enforce gag orders, but I don't feel hopeless either.

I hate when unqualified celebrities get elected based on nene recognition, but it's tough to imagine that Barkely could be worse than what they have now.

Republican elevation of ignorance and stupidity as qualifications for elected officials because they better represent the masses (Quayle, W, Palin, MTG) has given way too many incompetent blowhards platforms to waste our time and attention. It is a travesty that MTG's mood has real world impact.

I see the danger every time a Dem suggests electing Cheney as if she is a moderate. Her voting alignment with Trump was almost "perfect." I am grateful for her efforts to call out Jan 6 but won't ever like her or forget that she supports every non-violent assault on democracy (eg voter suppression).

He WAS RECORDED farting in court once. I'm sure it happened many times.

I agree. They are far more pro-patriarchy than pro-fetus. I know the common claim is that they only care about a child before birth, but I don't think they ever care. They opposedl anything to improve outcomes of pregnancy, unless doing so is at the expense of a woman's freedom or dignity.

It would be great if he actually faces accountabilty and justice. I sometimes think he is more slippery than Trump. I get how TX corruption shields him from local consequences, but I wish DOJ would treat his cases with more urgency.

Probably because i am privileged enough that i only encounter this on social media and the internet. That said, I hope I always continue to find those who confidently present ignorance and bigotry as fact disturbing.

I'm sure he absolutely would have, but I think Fox is well trained enough not to need the promoting or the help.

TRANSPHOBE: We couldn't compete against the transgender athlete.
OBSERVER: Because you tried your best and they were too strong physically for you?
TRANSPHOBE: No, because we stepped out and didn't compete.

Hope he gets crushed but fundamentally tired of our inability to block people from running for office when everyone knows they are legally ineligible.

I'm disturbed by that dude's confidence in describing his jealous fantasies as though they're irrefutable facts.

It is so frustrating. I would rather risk him getting to martyr himself from an overnight stay in prison than further undermining confidence in equal justice.

Right-wingers who believe that families crossing a border to escape poverty or violence deserve to be separated and to have their children caged also believe they should be exempt from punishment for felony convictions if that punishment would lead to sub-optimal child care for their own children.

Interesting that the right has no problem if doctors are uncomfortable being forced to do nothing while a patient dies from an ectopic pregnancy, is tortured by being forced to carry a nonviable pregnancy to term, etc.

In response to Oh Well.
On MSNBC last night, they were giving oxygen to the polls showing how SC Repubs believe the 2024 election will go. The overwhelming majority can't accurately describe how the last election went. How could anyone give credence to their ability to predict the next one?

I mean the evidence also shows that he doesn't value the lives of most children after they're born either, so it's not like his claim to support IVF is less honest than the rest of that empty statement.

It's only matters who the questioner is because she only wants to appear racist when pandering to racists. The most positive possible pro-Haley spin is that she is mad that she was tricked into displaying how comfortable she is promoting racism, and that still reveals how terrible a person she is.

Starve children to prevent them from becoming obese would be a pretty surprising argument from someone who claims to be "pro life" if there was any reason to believe that forced birthers care about human life.

Most human for him, perhaps. Bigger picture, it's more similar to how my dogs eat than how I eat.

It seems reasonable to share that voter/ consumer perceptions are disconnected from reality. It seems reasonable and valuable to highlight the disconnect between reality and perception. It is dishonest and misleading to cover up data on economic reality with inaccurate perception.

It makes perfect sense. Since engagement is higher here, this may be the only place in the world where someone may give their complaints some attention.

That article was a masterclass in satirical writing. 8th amendment right to mute Ted Cruz? Leveraging Republican threat to cause a shit show to evoke a metaphor of chimpanzees throwing feces? Even my cynical teen was LOLing when reading it. For myself, I'm glad Durbin took a stand on anything.

I wonder if MTG is too stupid to get the point, too self-absorbed to get the point, to contemptible to acknowledge the point, or all of the above. What an embarrassment to take a hard right stance on social policy while claiming critics of her PPP use don't understand running a small business.
