It bears repeating: Republicans are using this pandemic to kill as many people as they possibly can. 

Trump reset the bar required for Republicans to meet the requirements of decency, respectability, honesty and trustworthiness by setting it on the floor.

Republicans wouldn’t honor the dying wish of their own mothers if it meant more power. That much is certain. The only thing Republicans will respond to is a loss of money and power. Now might be the time for Democrats to be telling Tump that he and his cronies won’t be prosecuted for the many, many crimes they are…

The Democratic party (or some entitiy) really needs to explain Q-anon to the public (that at their core they are a Nazi organization) and make the links between them and the Republican party crystal clear. I’m talking really drive the point home on as many fronts as possible (e.g. social media, party talking points,…

Monica Lewinsky can’t decide between a Subaru or a Tesla.

Fair enough.

That moderator lineup is garbage.

I’ll just leave this here.

Personally, I’m out on the street with (hopefully) hundreds of thousands of other peaceful protesters. That’s my voice and that’s all I can do. And that’s what Trump and his goons will try to silence by force of violence. If my beaten/dead body becomes a message, so be it I guess. I just hope it matters (and hope even…

please think about what you are willing to do, and what you are willing to lose in order to send a clear message that he has to go

Trump losing in November is important, but he has to lose BIG. And not just him. The Republican party needs to be knocked down multiple pegs, and there need to be consequences for this party’s members for their complicity in all of Trump and his administration’s crimes. Otherwise all of this we are dealing with now…

Huh. What do you know. The average white guy is an asshole.

The Trump administration is going to be distributing sugar water, calling it a vaccine and demanding praise. They are going to fuck this shit up just like they have fucked up everything else they’ve gotten their hands into.

“On the first day of the Republican National Convention, Trump spews bullshit about election rigging.”

This is why I thought she would have been a better pick for AG. 

Meanwhile, there’s absolutely no certainty that federal lawmakers will extend the $600 per-week unemployment benefits that expired last Friday. So naturally, experts expect the number of Americans facing homelessness to climb even higher, especially in states hit hardest by the pandemic

News media in the US, particularly television news, began its decent into almost complete bullshit in the 70's when it turned from primarily being seen as a “public service” to being in service of the station’s bottom line. Add to that the Vietnam war, the lesson of which to the news media was that if they wanted…

Many Republican/conservative lawmakers tend to be very competent and evil. But what do you expect when their entire platform is based on people not giving a shit about what happens to someone else.

American political culture as a whole has been shifting right as the Republican party has been straying further and further off the right-wing deep end. Wasn’t it 2016 where the idea was floated to water down the Dem platform on abortion? And now this? The only thing we can hope for at this point is that the…

The thing is that people are acting like we should have known everything about how to handle this virus from day one, completely ignoring the fact that the world had never seen COVID-19 before. When it popped up in the US, it had been a thing for maybe 4 months, 5 months tops. Information about how transmissible it…
