Well yeah. Alito was executing "the plan" they all already agreed on back at the Federalist Society. SCOTUS has been captured by far right forces. The court is illegitimate and corrupt to the core.

Yer foods gonna be shite

If I were a Republican, I'd be embarrassed. The foreign enemies of the US want the GOP to win every election. How can they see that and not feel shame over what they've become? They are the domestic mouthpieces of America's enemies.

Good prevails over evil — that’s the American spirit.

Which is why the Satanists should prevail Ron.

If he'd held out one more day it would have been 700k. 2 more days, 1.4M. 3 more, 2.8M.

i.e. Musk caved before it became consequential.

1.4B if he'd waited 2 weeks more. 23.4T (that's Trillion) if he wanted to shield Trump for a month. I'd say it was a heavy fine that worked as intended.

Someone check my math.

This was so dumb. It was entertaining to watch Bernie break it up tho.

"Sit Down! You are a United States Senator!"

Someone should have made Kissinger follow that rule.

And empty chairs for loyalists should they succeed.

Tuberville is a traitor. I wonder what position he's been promised in the fourth reich?

He doesn't deserve to be in government at all after his treason. Here he is 3rd from the presidency. Fuck this Christofascist.

What? The party that constantly cheats at elections is cheating elections?

I don't think he, or people that think like him, realize how many non Christians there are in America. They would have an unwinnable battle if they actually tried to enact anything this idiot suggests. Still, it worries me that people like this are able to get elected at all.

I followed you here from Reddit mate! Your post after the mod changes (that I can't seem to find now) turned me on to Lemmy generally. It took that most recent change to shake me loose from Reddit but I've been lurking here for a bit. Let's get this sub going. :)

Absolutely. When I saw the headline I thought the same thing. Bad actors will try to sew exactly that thought in liberal circles as long as Dems have the momentum.

We can't buy into it and need to resolve ourselves to fight like hell until election day, regardless of what "the polls" or "the experts" say. We need to make Kamala win in an indisputable landslide. We need to send a message that will make Trump and his acolytes political pariahs from now on.

So conservatives rushed in with a steady stream of gifts and perks to make Thomas wealthy so he'd stay and continue rubber stamping anything sent his way. It's disgustingly corrupt.

I came to Texas this week for a vacation. Power has already been out here for 6 hours so far and was blinking on and off last night. Getting strong 3rd world vibes down here...

Yes. He's a former ADF lawyer, proper Christian nutjob. They say things like this. They believe this.

Liz says she thinks he will lose. I hope she's right.

That treasonous rat Jim Jordan is so full of shit. [Dismissed the Jan 6 committee as a "partisan witch hunt"](Jim Jordan Refuses to Cooperate With Jan. 6 Panel https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/09/us/politics/jim-jordan-jan-6-panel.html) then turns around and starts an actual partisan witch hunt once the GOP took the house.

I hope he chokes on a cheeseburger.

or dies of a stroke taking a shit. I hope they find him with his ass in the air.

They. Really. Don’t. Like. Organized. Religion. Nor its leaders. Nor its politics and social stances.

Yes, YES!!!, and Yes.

Edit: Personally I am an atheist. I went through a long agnostic, hopeful phase while deconstructing. Even now, as an apostate to my original faith, I hope to find some higher truth still. Higher than I know now. That cause still seems worthy.

Christianity fails. At every turn. My indoctrination still affects me even past middle age. It is difficult to overcome childhood indoctrination. It isn't right to do to children. It starts with genital mutilation, for boys, and some very early sexualizing coupled with shaming and dominating for girls. Looking back on more than half my life now, I see how much it fucked me and everyone I grew up with really.
