Tuberville says our military is "woke", but he's trying to put the military to sleep. What a maroon.

It’s interesting to see how the GOP ‘victory’ of removing women’s healthcare rights has led to their serial defeats in recent elections.

The sheer audacity of Thomas’s years-long trickle down crime spree will stain the Roberts Court forever. Ironically, the court of final appeal regarding Constitutional matters has completely misinterpreted their Constitutional remit. Actively resisting a code of ethics is not a good look, but understandable given what has come out.

Clarence Thomas’s RV loan was forgiven, Senate committee report says

Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called on Justice Clarence Thomas to say whether he declared the forgiven loan on his tax filings.

@bicmay American exceptionalism is a myth, and this is one of the main reasons why.

Guess I have to repeat this:

When we get good news (legal, Israel/Hamas, whatever), can we take just 2 measly minutes to appreciate it before blasting it to smithereens and whining about how the good news is really bad news?

People are beginning to sound like the NYT "Blame Biden" headlines every time he has a win.

For your own mental health, accept the wins. Push harder for more, but FFS, good news is rare. Embrace it.

OR, just don't toot me with the whining. I'm trying to stay sane here.

@pollute_my_lungs The point we're trying to make here isn't that religion makes someone a better person. but in a state as Christian as Texas, if you're baptizing prisoners, offering them spiritual classes as a path to rehabilitation, and telling them it makes them a "new man," it seems hypocritical not to consider any of that when it comes time to consider whether to execute them or not. They don't seem to believe the stories they tell themselves here.
@[email protected] @GottaLaff seriously, was all that buzz just BS?
So let me get this straight. Jim Jordan wants to be Speaker, but he doesn’t nearly have the votes, so he’s going ahead anyway counting on his allies to bully and harass his opponents into submission by inundating them with MAGA extremist calls to their offices, with the help of Sean Hannity on Fox? If I were a holdout, this would make me dig in even further, but then again I don’t know what it’s like to be a Republican without a spine.
@TootOfBob next thing you know people will be saying there is no Tooth Fairy…
