About 25 years late with this article. Roberts betrayed America for George W. Bush when he argued before the supreme court that Bush won despite being behind (or about to be behind as votes were still being counted and gore had the momentum, can’t remember) at the, at the time, current vote total. Bush rewarded him with the position of Chief Justice. Fuck him. He’s a large part of why we are here.

Ah I see, you’re not missing something. I was basing it off of her AMA on reddit from a long while ago now when Jan hadn’t announced her retirement yet.

Still think she deserves criticism for running in a district she doesn’t live in and for moving from texas to Illinois and within a year running for Congress there. But she at least is running for an empty seat. There are also several other candidates in the race who are just as progressive who actually live in the district.

Edit at the top: the seat she is running for is going to be empty so that’s at least one area of criticism she shouldn’t face.

She is running in a seat currently held by a Democratic congresswoman who, to be fair, has been in office for a while. It’s a primary and she’s running against her. Not an open seat unless the current congresswoman has recently announced she won’t be running which would have had to happen in the last couple weeks and I think is unlikely.

The indictment specifically accuses Abughazaleh, among others, of banging aggressively on the windows, hood and other areas of the agent’s car, pushing against it to “hinder and impede its movement” and etching the word “PIG” on the car.

This is so dumb. Oh no! The ICE agent was scared! Almost exactly like how he makes everyone else feel!

Kat is a really good voice to have and this is the dumbest thing you can throw against her. Criticize her about how she’s not running in the district she lives in, how she moved to Illinois from Texas and within a very short time decided to run for congress against a Democratic congresswoman who the community of the district genuinely likes and has been rather progressive ( I have been corrected, the congresswoman is retiring). About how she’s acting like she knows a lot about the district saying she lives right next to a bus line that is a few stops away from that district despite the fact that bus line doesn’t go to that district. Not this horseshit.

Paused my ass, he fucking froze as if his brain was broken and was very clearly trying to fake technical issues despite obviously swaying back and forth a bit. The cnn host had to cut with the claim of technical issues after Stephen refused to respond to the host saying “Stephen? Stephen are you there? Can you hear me?”

The dude realized he said Plenary authority, regretted immediately and instead of pivoting and making it seem like a mistake by correcting himself to “plenty”, his brain broke. Fuck off with this sane washing NY Times saying he “paused”. That implies he resumed after a couple seconds.

Wait what has he been capitulating on?

I’ll always remember on here when, during the election, I was talking about how bad Project 2025 was and how terrifying it was. I then had several folks say simultaneously that Project 2025 was nothing to be afraid of (was a boogeyman that they wanted me to be afraid of) and that Biden had already actually implemented about 80% of it. Crazy stuff.

Project 2025 was always Trump’s plan and I wish the media, and people like the commenters I mentioned, would have done better at understanding how bad it was and how his supposed distancing was all fucking BS.

Tucker has claimed multiple times at least since last year that Pete is actually straight. All because of his Gay Producer seemingly being the decider of who is and isn’t gay. I wouldn’t be surprised if either the Producer is just pulling it out of his ass, or he heard Pete might have dated women before coming out in 2015 so just assumes that means he couldn’t be gay. Cause obviously there’s no such thing as being in denial. That Producer might be experiencing a real Gold Star Lesbian thought process.

Either way, Tucker only knows anything about sex as a gay person because he’s had sex with that demon (obviously an incubus) that supposedly scratched him last year. They were love scratches.

Tucker is a Demon Fucker. Pass it on.

Andrew Cuomo also happens to have an Andrew Cuomo problem.

Good

And they’ll still reelect him next year.

There is no clean way out of it. Split, civil war, fascist dictatorship crackdown, world war against the US, war with Mexico and Canada forcing the US collapse, sending every possible minority to a concentration camp and ruling for decades only to eventually collapse like all fascist dictatorships do. There is only messiness in the future.

Yeah they want one party rule so they can do whatever they want forever. People will get more and more upset with the things they do while in power but won’t be able to stop it so they’ll stop participating which will guarantee even more Republicans win. They want to make the Democrats non existent, they would have already made them illegal if they felt like they could.

The more they push the more I think the US will not last that much longer, maybe a decade, and then it’ll split into multiple countries. People who are liberal and leftist on the west coast can only be so useful if the feds ruin everything they do, so they could split off and make their own thing, as has been talked about more and more recently.

He was also the lawyer arguing before the supreme Court in 2000 that Bush won despite vote counting still going on and Gore catching up, likely to overtake Bush and win. Bush rewarded him with the Chief Justice position.

Well if it’s too affordable then we might have those undesirables live and survive comfortably in the city and that’s just not acceptable.

That’s what happens when you’re raised in a cult and are solely a vessel for that cult to gain proximity to power.

I mean I think trying to say that him saying that is shitty is kinda disingenuous. The guy was born in 1982, grew up in South Bend, Indiana, and probably realized he was gay during the 90s, a time that we, the LGBT community, were still reeling from and dealing with the AIDS crisis. I have no doubt a ton of queer kids back then thought the same as him because they just wanted to be normal and not thought of as monsters.

Plus his parents worked at Notre Dame, a Catholic university. So he was probably around a whole lot of not very accepting Catholics during his childhood.

What the point of that story was at the time was that he had to accept who he was, and that it was okay to be gay. That’s a thing a lot of queer people have to go through.

I’m from Ohio, that sounds immensely better.

Makes me more interested in Portland being a possible city to move to when I get out of my red state. If I can get a job there.

Seems very much like concentrating on voters like those who supported both AOC and Trump. Supposedly fine with progressive policies but just wanting someone “real” who is seemingly willing to fight for them.

Also it’s always so fascinating to see how articles like this frequently talk about these Trump voters who are winnable because they support a ton of progressive policies but many continue to vote for Republicans despite them wanting to work against those very policies they supposedly support. The cognitive dissonance is truly astounding.
