Bring on The Abyss.

Show all the tweets and comments of GOP members squealing like biatches at suffering some push back, maybe taking delight in their suffering will stiffen some spines. The fight is good, and fun.

"I was ABSOLUTELY told that the Democrats would be bringing knives to the gun fight. What the fuck are they doing bringing guns?" --a whole lot of Republicans looking at the results from Virginia right now

There is thermostatic rebalancing, but have you tried blowing up the thermostat?

Sherman's March Part 2

Aside from it being just, righteous and necessary, Nuremberg and Reconstruction 2.0 must happen because they are going to squeal like stuck pigs and it's going to be so much fun. The whiniest little bitches when *anything* goes against them.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

This is all pretty funny if you consider the origins of this with RedMAP in 2010 which was pretty successful. IT delivered the senate in 2012. Drunk with power, feeling no limits to the perversions they could do to maps, it's beginning to come back to bite them.

hmmm....shouldn't it be...."how&what ways we should be offering voters for their anger to be channeled?"?

Voters currently see everything kind of burning down and have a far better measure of the stakes than our political media and sail trimming politicians.

The easy people to persuade are the voters!
The ones you have to take to the woodshed in the process are the tut tutting pundits and spineless centrists.

Build a clear case to voters and this model can be used to go after other institutions like SCOTUS. Be straight that GOP has rigged the system, and measures need to be taken that are partisan to end that rigging.

lols.
Talk to voters about the threat to democracy the GOP already is and they will approve measures like this.
Talk to them about the already packed and partisan SCOTUS and they will approve measures to counter that.

We've heard this before. If anything it will just stiffen Iranian resistance to hold out and twist the economic knife.

Analysis: The bottom could be falling out in Trump’s polls | CNN Politics Twenty years ago, the bottom began to fall out on George W. Bush’s approval ratings due to the Iraq war. President Donald Trump is seeing similar problems with Iran.

This is very funny. Dropping like a fucking stone

The police in this incident, i hazard, believe that their right to to be protected from society trumps their obligations to society.

Fortress/warrior mentality that sees the public as the enemy, and the Police as an Order separate, above, imbued with impunity, can lead to this kind of conduct.

If Trump always TACOs he wouldn't have attacked Iran in the first place.

The meme generates a false sense of certainty about the delusional flailing of an erratic sociopath.

We warned of all this, but were very rudely told to fuck off.

...maybe it was a mistake, leftists, if you cared, not to let Trump win re-election?

I don't think a President Kamala Harris would have hired Kash Patel to run the FBI or to go after the Southern Poverty Law Centre, do you?

One of the worst aspects of SCOTUS has been the kremlinology devoted to figuring out what the court is up to. That's unacceptable in a democracy with an institution that claims so much power.

In a genuine shock crisis event two main parties may come to vote together on major legislation, but the norm is for conflict and doing things on partisan lines, not on cooperation across party lines. "crossing the floor" is a rare and major event.

It's a general rule across most democracies like AUS, CAN, UK and NZ that political change always happens when one of the main political parties rams through its agenda against the fierce opposition of the other party, not with its cooperation. Bi-partisanship is a strange American fetish.

This is absolutely one of the most important reforms of the court needed. Transparency and accountability.

You remember how the clarion call of the dirt left was "don't blackmail our vote" when HRC was talking about the SCOTUS?

Flu is the only one that is an across the force annual requirement, so it's the one you would eliminate if you want to engage in performative signaling

It also has lower risk of high impact consequences; we'll see if this ends up extending to (eg) Td (specifically the T bit)

I think I first heard about this push in the early 90's for the Ten Commandments and it looks like they've finally succeeded. The Establishment Clause has been read inside out and turned on its head.

It's clownish and terrible, but the entire govt is copying Trump's lifelong career embrace of lawfare because it does grind at people, no matter how frivolous.

Dumb timelines because of a lazy press corps obsessed with trivialities to bring down left of centre political figures.
