The Republicans have literally rigged the game and are making sure they are dealt winning hands, but your feelings tell you elections are completely legitimate and there’s “a 50% fair chance of winning”.

You completely ignored my comment, deny shared reality and supporting facts, then repeat the exact same nonsense. Are you Maga?

The GQP doesn’t have anywhere near a 50% chance of winning unless they cheat, get activist judges to change existing laws, and flagrantly break the remaining laws. Because who’s going to stop them, the Supreme Court?

Most Republican states have made voting harder since 2020.

Trump urged GOP-led states to redraw US House districts.

Never underestimate what the GQP will do to prevent anything resembling a fair election. They will purge voter registrations by the millions, gerrymander district maps to make them look like spider webs, and make registering and voting damn near impossible.

Republicans will burn the country to the ground to remain in power.

With 6 additional senators?

This is epic nonsense bullshit and was shared because it is so fucking ridiculous it made me spit out my coffee.

We have a tyrannical minority that is actively changing laws so they can remain in power indefinitely. We have a packed Supreme Court that is literally ignoring the Constitution when the reason they exist is to protect it. If they hadn’t made Trump king he would not be in office, he’d be in criminal court.

Republicans have been virulently anti-democracy for decades. As far as the GQP is concerned the majority can go fuck themselves.

"If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.” - David Frum

So… Just like most of Maga, right?

Trump is as self-aware as a bar of soap.

This is a game of pigeon chess played entirely by pigeons.

If Trump and his cult make the slightest concession the Dems will fold immediately. Then both sides will knock over the remaining pieces and fly back to their flocks to claim victory.

“It’s their fault. Everything is their fault.”

A malignant narcissist’s mantra.

Fascism in action: Held in jail on bogus charges for over a month until he lost his job. This is a blatant and likely effective attempt to stifle dissent and deny people their First Amendment rights.

Hopefully he sues the crap out of them. The officers should lose their Qualified Immunity protection because they knowingly violated his Constitutional rights.

Vote is symbolic only. Of course it would take 17 Republicans senators breaking with Trump to override his veto, and then there’s the impossibility of getting 2/3rds of the House to do the same.

But hopefully you’re right and it’s only the first crack.

40% of Americans have their heads firmly up their ass.

Or food.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” - George Orwell - 1984

Perhaps someone should have a talk with him.

And if the lower courts intervene, SCOTUS will again rule that Trump is King and appointed by God.

Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software.

IMO Google Save Browsing was built with consideration for open-source and self-hosted software, but it has nothing to do with user safety, just like blocking Android apps from 3rd party sites has nothing to do with user safety. The harder they make it to move away from their products by making using alternatives difficult, the more money they make and money is now the only objective. Even if this only adds a fraction of a fraction of a percent to their profit it’s something Google will implement.

The old social contract of businesses being of benefit to the community as a whole in addition to making a profit is long gone.

Republicans don’t give a fuck if they kill people by withholding healthcare, obviously they don’t give a fuck if people starve.

At some point the Democrats have got to realize this and start acting accordingly, but Democrats are still bending the knee: 13 Senate Democrats just voted to install a conservative judge in Alabama.

Release the Epstein files.
