We will not rid ourselves of either one
Not with one candidate
Not with one election
If you're not thinking within these parameters - youre not thinking
Make your party represent your values
Curb capitalists worst impulses
Long game
Last month, Kirk Herbstreit said he doesn't follow politics or pick sides.

American institutions (and individuals) have more often than not punished Indigenous children and Black and Brown children— actual children— as adults, while excusing the behavior of white men. But hearing a white man calling his actions at 53 a "youthful indiscretion" really takes the cake.
Trump said in Michigan yesterday that everyone in a Louisiana community got $10K checks from a neighboring data center. “Everybody in the community got a check for $10,000, and they loved it. They said, ‘Where do we do our next data center?’”
A local news fact-check finds that no such checks exist
Kamala Harris: I think that going in the direction of impeachment is not a good idea.
I was in the Senate for the last go-round, and the votes aren’t there.
I think after the election, we all have to just also agree that our attitude has to be to get stuff done…
New: "The State Department will issue visas to Flavio Bolsanaro and his family and allow them entry into the United States," per a senior State Department official
Husted: "The president is coming in tomorrow again to Ohio. Don't worry, I was in the weight room this morning working out. I don't want to let him down."
Wisconsin has a choice this November.
Rep. Bryan Steil voted 3 times to cover up the Epstein files and still hasn't signed Rep. Thomas Massie and my Epstein 2.0 discharge petition.
Mitchell Berman will sign it and hold the pedophiles accountable.
Vote Mitchell Berman.
Racist, of course. But he's also saying this in Michigan, a state that has towns and cities named Dowagiac, Charlevoix, Epoufette, Hamtramck and Ocqueoc.
JD Vance: "The price of gas goes up every time a foreign leader in the Middle East throws a tantrum"
(This is different from what Vance said yesterday, which was "Gas prices are too high ... they skyrocket every time some tinpot dictator decides to throw a tantrum")
Looking forward to the possibility of Israel voting out the guy who committed genocide in Gaza in favour of the guy who explicitly declared war crimes to be an inherent part of Israeli tactics in Lebanon
And then being gaslit by the media that this counts as progress
CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.
And who needs algebra. Or astronomy to the point of the first working observatories. Or the entire foundational conception of modern medicine and hospitalization. Or brewed coffee.
Coffee alone is entirely enough to justify a civilization. Nothing justifies this shitpiece in our government.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
Rubio: What's the problem? All Putin wants is the Donbass. It's just 11% of the country....
Prez: I demand full control over Ukraine and expect their unconditional surrender.
Rubio: See, it's just the Donbass.
The man who has spent more money on politics in the last 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime never says anything positive about his guy Ken Paxton. But he does serve up a steady diet of this stuff.
El-Sayed on Trump's cognitive tests: "I went to medical school...In my neurology unit, I would have to give that MoCA exam...The only people that you give a MoCA test to are people who you worry may have cognitive deficits. By definition, if you're taking one of those tests, something's wrong."
“The Department of Justice is putting its formidable thumb on next week’s elections in a way that seems clearly intended to call into question the legitimacy of any result that is especially unfavorable to Republicans—before those results have even come in.”
Me on DOJ’s California and Alaska suits:
Four of the biggest lies of Neoliberalism
1. money is a scarce resource,
2. inflation is inevitable with any increased money supply,
3. spending has to be “fully funded”
4. interest rates are an effective tool to counter inflation.
All Bollocks to keep the rich wealthy and you poor.
Rally speaker: "Mike Rogers is an American. Abdul has a birth certificate. The birth certificate says he's a citizen of America. You know what? a birth certificate doesn't make you an American."
Norway: "I didn't get the Nobel Prize so I don't want anybody from Norway. I don't want anything to do with Norway…Frankly, Norway sucks. Norway has become a shithouse country, actually."
Wild how I can post something about missing Obama and there are STILL people in the replies telling me bad things Obama did. Was he perfect? No. Was he a billion times better than Trump? Yes. Stop comparing apples to incoherent fascist oranges.
Trump White House attorneys are evaluating whether to issue mass pardons to junior staffers — as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.
