“Waaahhh! Nobody wants to buy my canned air because they cracked down on air pollution!”

I’d settle for a ban on polling while the polls are open.

A friendly reminder Ukraine accepts donations towards its national defense.

One, that’s every candidate. Two, yeah we already know he’s authoritarian lite.

And I believe Japan is too.

He’s also, what, 0 for 100 on nominating qualified candidates that faithfully execute their duties?

The trump card, no pun intended, was getting one-party-rule. The heads of department have massive amounts of leeway to fuck things up so that’s exactly what they’ve been doing. I would want a rule where nominees have to have been employed by the department at least 8 years but that’s not a silver bullet to this problem. The authoritarian right has been planning this moment since at least Reagan.

The Coast Guard is the hardest pill to swallow. The TSA mainly harass and profile people and FEMA pretty much only responds to issues in red states these days so good riddance to them.

The Nat Guard were the good ones for the most part and having them bear witness to ICE brutality could’ve worked in our favor.

No shit. The rise of Christo-fascism has been a direct contributor to not wanting more kids.

Rewind to 2021, red states are rejecting billions in Federal money because it’s earmarked for an actual purpose and not a blank check.

By the time we actually do anything there won’t be any Palestinians left in Gaza or the West Bank.

I don’t know about competent but brazen for sure. Think they won’t try to steal the election by straight up bombing high density liberal areas? Oh, they definitely would.

Didn’t the Brennan Center come up with scenarios in his first term but didn’t anticipate an angry mob ransacking Congress as one of them?

He doesn’t ever speak to the average American. Every word is to his donors and handlers.

That compact doesn’t address gerrymandering.

These new maps should come with a proposition for a new interstate compact.

Obedience is a requirement. Competence is optional.

Nobody ever explained why 2020 was rigged to hell but 2024 went off without a hitch.

Yeah, for now.
