A quote for dark times:

“We used to say that ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” --Congressman John Lewis, 1940-2020

I, for one, won't give up. It angers me to no end that my daughters have fewer rights today than I did when I was their age.

My older daughter is 23 today. My younger one will be 21 on the 19th. They're worth fighting for.

I'm postmenopausal & have no grandchildren.

My daughters are in college, so grandkids are on a distant horizon, if ever. One daughter wants kids "one day" & the other is ambivalent at best.

Like a lot of sad, insecure men with mommy & daddy issues, JV Dance cannot bear that women have choices, and that they make choices he doesn't approve of. No one died & left you king, Vladimir Futon. Get over yourself. And fuck off. Mind your own damn business, to quote future Vice President Walz.

Sad, pathetic losers, just like him.

He's telling angry, desperate people exactly what they want to hear. The people who go to see him are people left behind by societal change, & they think if they vote for him, change will be stopped.

How well I remember!

In 2008, when she was in elementary school, my older daughter asked me, "Mommy, have we ever had a girl president?" I replied no. She was crushed when Hillary lost. She's now 22, proudly voted for the first time in 2020, & will vote for VP Harris in the fall. The same goes for my younger daughter, who voted for the first time in 2022. Their generation has seen firsthand what happens when bad candidates get elected. It's likely that we'll see a lot of young people voting this time around.

I'll believe President Biden is staying in the race until I hear *him* say otherwise.

Everything else is just speculation, hearsay, and/or agitprop.

They love to play the victim.

Whiny ass losers. Being a victim absolves them of any responsibility for anything.

Stupid skank performing for the cameras again.

The bumpkins eat this performance art up & promptly open their wallets. Margie Traitor Queen isn't there to legislate. She's there to fleece the rubes.

OPINION: For Joe Biden, the Nov. 5 election is about Jan. 6

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) When President Joe Biden came to Atlanta last weekend, he had an ominous warning for the Democrats at a fundraiser hosted by Home Depot co-founder Arthur Blank. Former President Donald Trump had a psychotic break after the 2020 election, Biden said. It led to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and everything else that followed.

“It’s clear that when he lost in 2020, something snapped, I’m being serious,” Biden said Saturday. “He just can’t accept the fact he lost. That is why Jan. 6 happened. Every legal avenue Trump tried to change the election failed. So he unleashed an insurrection. He sat there for three hours, watching what was happening, not saying a word.”

Although Biden has said repeatedly this election cycle that “democracy is on the ballot” in 2024, he has never quite gotten to the point the way he did over the weekend, describing Trump’s inaction on Jan. 6 as not just a failed test of leadership, but a sign of malignant character.

“The message of this campaign is very straightforward,” Biden said. “The threat Trump poses is greater in a second term than it was in the first term.”

Postcards to Swing States needs your help!

Research proves that writing postcards will add more than 130,000 votes, which is three times the number that decided the outcome of the 2020 election in favor of President Biden. Help if you can! Spread the word!

"there just aren't enough people left who care about him"

No one cares about him. Period.

No one is protesting outside the court. No one from his family is in court. No one will mourn him when he finally shuffles off this mortal coil. What a sad, pathetic waste of skin he is.
