@LilacSunday @rbreich did the Democratic Party make that choice or did Manchin and Sinema? If it's the latter two you probably shouldn't conflate them all into one group. The undemocratic nature of our electoral system allows people like that to hold us all hostage under false pretenses.

@godpod What's disrespectful is that person calling himself a Christian. You know, the guy who brought you "turn the other cheek" and "What you do for the least of these you do for me" and who can forget "Judge not, lest ye be judged"?
@LilythGeist @georgetakei Let's make certain that never happens by packing the Supreme Court before they have a chance to rule in favor of the seditious "independent legislature theory".
@msnbc There is only one reason why Americans are skeptical about elections. republican lies. There is absolutely no evidence that the elections of 2020 or 2022 were anything but 100% secure and fair. That didn't stop trump and his band of traitors from trying to overthrow democracy.
@msnbc By refusing to install a code of ethics Roberts has declared his court to be above the law. That is no court of law at all but an authoritarian cabal set on destroying our democracy and our rights as Americans. Enough is enough. It's past time to pack the court. If we wait until they rule that republicans have the end say over election results it will be too late.
@inklings @msnbc the J6 committee already did when they charged him with contempt. You can bet that it's going to come up at his trial or plea agreement. They will not look too kindly on his refusal to speak to congress coupled with his eagerness to go to the press. Those things are not compatible. Can't claim privilege while talking to the press.
@codanaut That's what I'm worried about. Cannabis was a pretty shitty pretext for police harassment but what are they going to replace it with?
@codanaut Legal recreational sales began in Missouri yesterday! I wonder what the cops are going to do with their time now. I'm a little concerned, in fact.
@inklings @msnbc I have mixed feelings about this. His interview of peter navarro may very well be the last nail in that man's coffin. I definitely get where you're coming from and do not appreciate seeing people like gaetz on MSNBC but there is a fine line between platforming them and giving them enough rope to hang themselves. I think Ari is usually on the right side of that. He let gaetz go a little too far though.
