I stopped listening to NPR news (ATC, ME) regularly after grasping the major contribution NPR talking heads made to 'rump's election. Anytime I tune in accidentally & hear ML Kelly & Co slanting the news for clicks (still) I grieve for the independent public radio station I once adored. #RIPNPR

Yeah, and I'm really P.O.d that Nikki Haley didn't stop the Jan 6 insurrection when she was in Congress, which is why I'm not voting for her in November no matter what. I've got a right to be clueless and Joe Biden can't tell me any different!! 😂

Very helpful to have these gang rosters handy for quick reference. As with Cosa Nostra, the 'rump mob is not a blob of evil but a filigree of feckless flunkies each playing a specific role for specific reasons. Bravo!

Well bless your heart. A) I was responding to the tag line, which has a 95% chance of having been written by a male editor, not the "reporter". B) You've seriously never heard a female be referred to as "guy" or "dude"? It's called semantic drift. Nothing to see here.

Like these AZ indictments? Give those of us rubes a hand who knocked 100s of doors & wrote bigger checks than we could afford in support of our fab AG Kris Mayes, who won election by a mere 280 votes. You can expect us to do the same when she runs for AZ governor one day. You're welcome. 💙

The Orwellian part? "Reinstate a 2022 law PERMITTING abortions through 15 weeks..." So now that we've put 1864 behind us we're supposed to think the 2022 law is cool 'cuz it PERMITS abortions thru 15 wks? uh-huh. The 2022 law BANS abortions after 15 weeks. Word choice matters.

Same. Pretty sure "coffee cake" was a German invention consumed at pub-like coffee houses where patrons went with their families after attending concerts, plays, and other evening events. Consuming all that strong joe and sugar just before hitting the hay is quintessentially European.

Ossoff apparently didn't get the memo that explains how useful DeJoy has been to Majority Leader Schumer. Working together, they got the votes to remove the pre-paid pension requirement that GOP used to strangle USPS for years. DeJoy is a bit player in GOP voter suppression campaign. Focus, people.

They're running, in part, to normalize what they did and with it what rump & maga stand for. Told ya jail time would do no good. They're cult45*ers who need a ton of therapy.

Sickening beyond belief that the IDF murdered these heroes. This heinous act turns the tide of public opinion against Israel. How ashamed the Israeli people should be for allowing their govt. to debase them in this fashion.

Sadly, NPR's Mary Louise Kelly jumped on board the instant expert train in her report on the deadly accident yesterday. The actual expert on bridge design she interviewed explained 4 times why the bridge "fell like matchsticks" but MLK still wondered aloud if we should trust the investigation😫

I should add, on paper, Nez doesn't have a chance in hell of winning Gosar's old seat in my district. Given today's result in AL (Lands' (D) swinging a -40 to a +25 pt win) I'm go to make an exception to my policy of supporting toss-up-or-better Dems only. 14 tribes in AZ02. I'm standing w/ them.

Call off the search! As a linguist I can assure you that a random concatenation of English-ish syllables does not an authentic language make. Mr. 'rump is ungrammatical in every language but thankfully end stage dementia is giving him the ability to make up his own for solo life in prison.

Rewarding fraud, yes but it also seems the prestige of the office of US prez is a kind of permanent marker that doen't come out in many washes. NY court's poor choice is another ripple of the collective failure that allowed despicable don to squat in the White House for 4 years. I can't unsee that.

Decision to reduce bond so much is very disappointing. You based your predications on 'rump being bigly stupid, not the courts. We're still the adults in the room. We're going to have to shake it off & keep going. This battle to build back better is bigger than one gaseous ahole. #lfgblueamerica

Ah, finally we have an answer to the question of how he could be married to a Repugnant/libertarian spin doctor for so long. Plenty of patriarchy pushers in the Dem party but let's face it, most of them are NOT women. Buh-bye James.

You lost the high ground when you hit caps lock. If you think my comment was snarky I feel bad for you, as I would for anyone who can't just see they made a mistake and delete the spout. Everyone messes up on sm from time to time. It's not worth getting defensive about. Cheers and peace out.

If you had read Tomi's earlier posts on the McAfee decision you would see that he started with the fact that these charges can be brought again later with more detail. Probably a good idea to take your own advice.

Would it kill people to give you props for these forecasts? Apparently many don't remember how hard msm worked to try to make us believe DeSantis was a cinch for 47, Bragg had 86'd the Manhattan case, Garland was giving Jan 6 a pass...twitter was a hellscape of lies & fear-mongering. You did good!

This would be great if I didn't suspect Pelley felt freer to "unmask" these loons 'cuz of their gender. Are they a couple of dumb, ignorant moms? Yes. But there's millions of other equally idiotic dads cheering them on in the burbs & Congress. They disgrace all thinking women & men w/their idiocy.

No way 'rump wrote that statement about saving IVF. Will evangs notice? Nope. They'll blame him for betraying them in the fight to make Handmaid's Tale the American way. Good gawd, these magats are as stupid as they are treasonous.

Given how fixated the US is on 2-party system I don't see how a new conservative party gets any traction at the ballot box before I die (I'm likely to get to 96-97 barring 737 Max related intervention, so 2055). Caveats: Dems don't dissolve into haters as temps rise; Climate doesn't kill us 1st.

No chance of that. I've long since issued a telepathic restraining order requiring 'rumps and 'rump-humpers to remain at least one thousand feet from my person at all times. Keeps my house smelling clean, too.

It's going to be nearly impossible for anyone to reform the GOP brand cuz it's 100% built on demagoguery. Since '16 we've known GOP issues are fronts for antisocial urges forced into the closet by FDR & LBJ. GOP is forever a holding pen for deplorables. Liz, Mick, MJoe et al. will die partyless.

Thanks for going above and beyond. I just wish PR would be a steady presence on Spoutible and let twitter go to hell. The SM/MSM disconnect from reality is so bad I read only PR to find out what's going on. Its in the 20s at night in mtn AZ so it's winter here too. Stay warm!
