Brutish reminder that voting is not a marriage, it’s a bus ride. Cast the vote that gets you closest to your destination. This “Biden didn’t do everything I wanted so I’m not voting” bullshit is childish and dangerous. Be a fucking adult and vote.

Alito is the perfect illustration of Wilhoit's definition of conservatism:
"There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Hey MAGAts and Trumpsters,
do you dream of a large crowd ?
A real large crowd ?
Take a look, this is President @BarackObama
in Portland, Oregon, May 2008 . . .

No matter where you stand on the conflict, or who you feel started what. Having Israeli civilians attacking aid trucks meant to help innocent Palestinian citizens is wholly wrong. They aren't hurting Hamas doing this, but they are making recruitment into Hamas a tempting choice for those struggling.

Remember, Zuck reportedly met Trump secretly in 2019 and struck an under the table deal — Facebook would not deplatform Trump and his followers, and Trump would lay off regulating or taking enforcement actions against Facebook.
He is not a friend to democracy. None of them are.

“You have to pick fights with greedy corps. It’s good to say, ‘I lowered insulin to $35/month, & I’m bringing down the cost of a dozen drugs.’ But also say, ‘Big pharma is suing to stop us, and Maga Republicans & TFG are standing with them on that. The fight is on, and I’m fighting for you on this.’

Trump pardoned Joe. Had he not he'd be in jail with the same people he put in jail. And his jails are atrocious.

Some 'reporting' from folks present at Trump's Wildwood, NJ hate-rally:
By 8pm
After he'd been speaking for @ 90 min
The boardwalk adjacent area he was speaking in had maybe a couple dozen people left in it
And he continued ranting anyway
Things are not as he'd have you believe they are, kids

By the way, I'm still ever impressed that Zuckerberg, with endless financial capital and a huge slew of programming resources, managed to roll out a prodcuct with fewer features than Spoutible on day 1. Gotta hand it to these billionaires. They're killin it

In response to Will Hutchinson.
Excellent suggestion, plus add things like the necessary insurances that are mandatory like taxes. FL had among the highest insurance rates and that negates the income tax advantage.

Just an FYI:
I spouted about my trans son today. This was the 1st time I've ever posted on SM about him. I've never felt comfortable enough doing so on that hate filled bird site.
Thanks, @cbouzy 4 creating a safe place for this mom 2 talk about her amazing kid without worry.

For anyone saying Trump laundering hundreds of thousands of dollars to affect the outcome of an election is nothing, I'd like to remind you that the cops murdered George Floyd in the middle of the street over an *allegedly* fake $20 bill.

No...Joe Biden did not receive illegal campaign donations from Iran or Ukraine.

Remember, the far right only wants “free speech” so they can seize power — and then abolish free speech for anyone but themselves.

The funniest part about how Twice Impeached asking for a billion American dollars from the oil companies in order to let big oil continue to fuck Gaia, is that Big Oil said: Wow, that seems like a steep price.

Fourth, despite the opposition's best efforts, they have failed to truly break us. The electoral defeats keep mounting and their few victories are Pyrrhic ones...and they KNOW IT.
So all they have left is scaring us or pissing us off by telling us what they'd like to do to us.

I'd take fish aliens and 60 year old babies over the brain worm candidate or someone becoming the GOP nominee AFTER he was indicted 88 times give or take.

"Lara Trump has insisted that as a part of its voter suppression efforts, the RNC is recruiting people who can “physically handle the ballots.” While it's possible that... simply clueless, it is also possible that the RNC plans on infiltrating election offices. We need to be prepared for the worse."

My GenZ kiddo & her friends are buying the nonsense about Biden's age & are seriously considering 3rd party. I've been strongly encouraged to be "less political" but I sent an unsolicited text to her today

"He did not discuss the content of the criticisms directly, but said that 'reckless' people in Washington will 'bomb your reputation.'"
I think his reputation was "bombed" when Anita Hill testified against him. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.
