As far as I'm concerned Greg Abbott just murdered a child

There should be hell to pay for this.

Democrats just negotiated with terrorists largely because they had no choice

We need people to realize the importance of voting in Democrats BECAUSE of deals like this, not despite them.

In a way it kinda seems like the law is throwing a bunch of charges at Trump to see "what sticks"

You know, kinda like how Trump used the law to sue every institution to see “what sticks.” Except I have a feeling these are going to go a lot further than any of his BS claims.

Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?

Anybody have a good link to the WI SC election results?

Remember, this isn't just the day Trump got arrested, it will also (hopefully) be the day we flip the Wisconsin State Supreme Court!

Are Democrats or even "liberals" the real conservatives?

I told my anarcho capitalist friend the other day that I’m “conservative” and he basically gave me a blue screen error. I was sorta messing with him but kinda not in some ways, as I think the Democratic Party can arguably be considered “conservative” in many of the more technical interpretations of the term.

Not in the modern political sense of the word, of course. But in the more traditional sense. Even in the traditional political sense, Democrats have certainly become the party of fiscal responsibility and smaller government when comparing policies on policing, budgets over the last 40 years and how much government plays a part in our personal lives. It is also the environmentally Conservative Party: prioritizing conservation and environmental protections in the tradition of the old GOP that established national parks. “Conservative” implies at least some type of moral foundation or compass which today’s Republicans are devoid of.

I’m just saying this because trying to equate any of todays GOPs policies as “conservative” in any sense of the word, makes me laughvomit. Right wing? sure. Neofascist? Absolutely. Conservative? When donkeys shit rainbow unicorns.

Will Trump be indicted next week?

I have my serious doubts but will be purchasing and chilling the champagne just. In. Case. That slimy, slippery slop of slime manages to seep out of any trouble. Hopefully I am wrong about this.

Heart

Just wanted to thank whoever gave me the heart. The last month has been pretty challenging for me so even that small gesture really helped me out!
