The reason why smart, good people hate Trump and support Biden and the Democratic Party is that they realize how important good government policy is to the lives of average people. The only place to get a chance at good government policy is with having Democrats in office. The only things Republicans want are disease,…

Gun doofuses spend all day thinking the Gubmint is coming for their guns, but the gubmint is *actually* way more oppressive to parents of dead kids.

a) ironic that Abbott and his ilk are such giant babies that this was needed

In Vivek Ramaswamy’s defense, he’s an asshole!

Didn’t we already know they were morally bankrupt hypocrites though?

Anyone else remember when the dipshits at the NY Times and elsewhere tried to convince us that Trump supporters were motivated by “economic anxiety” and not racism?

They will tell you he hasn’t, but he has. Once in a while they snap out of it and they realize it and whine and you get hilarious/revealing quotes like “he’s not hurting the people he needs to be”

Stand by for Nebraska’s legislature’s frantic rush to change the rules. Maybe they can pass legislation revoking women’s right to vote because they’re too “emotional” to make a rational decision.

LOL the GOP base is never going to turn out for a guy named “Vivek Ramaswamy.” Nikki Haley changed her name for a reason.

Brown slackers need to unite and vote against him, even if it means voting for Mike Pence in the primary. I get PTSD from looking at Vivek. Vivek was the kid our parents would compare us to when they saw us slacking. I can hear mom now: “Vivek got an A in physics and you are sitting there watching your stupid…

The judge said Shry had been criminally charged four times in the past year for “similar conduct” and was convicted twice.

It’s all made up. What they supposedly want, what they don’t want, etc. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

I think there are some key differences between the two circumstances, though. In particular, there are the issues of length of the marriage and when the wealth was accumulated. Baumgartner was married to Costner for almost 20 years, I think, and Costner is in a very different financial position than he was when they…

Ramaswamy is doing the absolute minimum you’d expect of a serious candidate - listen to a stylist, hit the marks, blather the standard blather, fake some charm, don’t piss off Trump, shake the hands and kiss the babies, make the fundraising and endorsement calls.

Every single presidential cycle there’s some wacko dude who emerges from the bottom of the pack and looks great 18 months out. The only one who’s ever won was Trump. The rest all flame out because it’s a long frigging campaign and the dominant paradigms tend to win out over time.

Wow, look at this hot young Republican firebrand with his radical new ideas such as: anti-trans, pro-Putin, anti-woke, abortion is murder, God, country, and unchecked capitalism raping the earth to cinders.

From everything I’ve been reading about him over the past few weeks, he’s exactly the sort of candidate that would become a GOP frontrunner if Trump had a heart attack tomorrow. He supports all the dumb culture war and conspiracy theory bullshit, he hasn’t taken potshots at Trump (or at least hasn’t made any headlines…

Convicted twice in a year and still making threats from the comfort of her home? How’s that work?

I’d point out how you can’t be libertarian of you demand the government tell people what their gender is, but these people never understand the actual definition of words like “socialism,” “libertarian,” or “fascism.”

I was going to suggest “Private Smith - I am temporarily re-assigning you. Your new duty station is next to a clinic two states over, and your assignment will last two weeks. You will receive the normal travel expenses for a temporary re-assignment.”
