It would be healthy for our Republic at this moment to stop calling MAGA and Republicans "conservative" - they are not. What we should be calling them is "poorly educated, willfully ignorant insane people." There is nothing "conservative" about this group.

These are the stakes, vote accordingly. Until this election I had never voted a straight ticket in 40 years. This time 100% democratic and withheld votes for unopposed republicans.

Most voters are kind, forgiving people, others, not so much. I know the lines are long; but, be kind to poll workers. Most poll workers are acting out of patriotic duty. Poll workers are there to help you Vote Even if it's provisionally. So, please, please, please be kind to poll workers.

An observation from my county relative to 2022, both R +37% and D +81% are up. But the real movers are unaffiliated at +271% early vote to date. That does not guarantee it's how it ends up, but it is interesting. Turnout is up relative to 2022 across the board. ohio.coldspark.com#greene

The messed up thing is Amy Acton didn't even make her childhood sexual abuse a center piece of her campaign she was focused on the issues, vivek brought it up because he can't win on the issues.

Not always champagne. For me it's Laphroaig single malt scotch. Cannot wait.

Seth Abramson@sethabramson.bsky.social

The number of Americans who apparently have a *specifically designated* bottle of champagne somewhere in their home is absolutely shocking

And not one of them has the balls or inclination to do so.

Cabinet members who can invoke the 25th: Rubio, Bessent, Hegseth, Blanche, Burgum, Rollins, Lutnick, RFK Jr., Turner, Duffy, Clayton, Wright, McMahon, Collins, Mullin, Sonderling, Greer, Waltz, Vought, Zeldin, Loeffler, Ratcliffe, & Wiles. Cabinet members more loyal to America than loyal to Trump:

getting emails that your FICO score has changed are really weird. “Hey Mike the banks have been talking and we are all feel slightly different about you. We thought you should know”

While it’s great the trolls are rolled back a bit, you have to wonder what else has been disrupted or lost in these attacks. Authentication service outage could be highly disruptive for things like moving money/crypto for the kakistocracy. Crypto Keys/wallets may have been lost. Interesting

I call Ohio the “Bama of the north”.

In Ohio this fall, we are going to find out which bias is stronger, racism or misogyny, in the results for governor. I strongly suspect that racism will come out on top. Not that I support the GOP candidate in any way, it's just an observation of the state population and culture.

But you have to drink instant coffee. Yuck. Dude, this isn’t a win.

fesshole 🧻@fesshole.bsky.social

Office coffee grinding machine failed because it needs wifi to work, because enshittifaction. I have my own jar of instant coffee at my desk so it doesn't affect me, but I hang out near the machine ostentatiously and smugly sipping my instant while others pass by all forlorn.

Reposting. Please. Vote.

Polls. Media horserace coverage. Blue wave/tsunami stories. If you haven't voted yet, I beg you, ignore this bullshit and go to your local polling place to vote early, in-person. If you need help, say so, there are people who will help. Second best, return that mail-in ballot. But do it now.

It is unforgivable that a solid 30% of US voters are willfully ignorant, cruel, racist, and misogynist with their continued support for the Orange Plague. 1 in 3 of our citizens have proven to be irretrievably stupid and hateful. Often professed “Christians.” Unforgivable.

It is an unforgivable miss that the Supreme Court has willfully chosen to ignore the letter and spirit of the US Constitution in order to enable the Orange Plague and Heritage Foundation agenda. Ethics standards and term limits are the minimum reform needed. Unforgivable.

It is an unforgivable miss that the GOP refuses to eject the pedos, white nationalists, and fraudsters from their party. The continued support of the Orange Plague and the rest of the Epstein class is an embarrassment and should spell the end of the party in perpetuity. Unforgivable.

It is an unforgivable miss by the Biden administration that they did not immediately begin investigation and prosecution of 45 post Jan 6. They instead chose to wait 2 years, until after midterm elections, which let the clock run out - which in this case is the same as losing. Unforgivable.

Uniquely qualified as part of the goon squad. Probably got a promotion, the casual cruelty is the point.

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN HOW THIS MAN STILL HAS A JOB? Brenden Cuni, the same ICE agent seen on video brandishing a rifle at the scene of the shooting in NY, where officers shot an unarmed man in front of his 5-year-old child, was also filmed kneeling on a pregnant woman in Minneapolis last December.

You've voted early. Great, congratulations, you've made a contribution to change. What else can we do? Find people who are at risk to not vote (I'm specifically thinking younger and older voters) where perhaps there isn't enough time or no way to vote. Let's all commit to help them. I do. Do you?

It's obviously bullshit. How many rubes can we get to invest before it "doesn't pan out." FFS people.

The Rooster@rooster.info

Please stop taking these people’s words at face value.

Bullshit. Huge claims demand huge proof. Not a shred available. What has happened to our collective bullshit detectors? FFS.

This post is unavailable.

And I should add. If there are Democrats in the Epstein files. They are disgusting too. All, regardless of party, should be investigated and if warranted, tried, and if convicted punished to the full extent of the law. Disgusting. Shameful. Worthy of punishment.

Mike Harding@mikeharding.me

I’ll be honest. When the whole “Democrats traffic children” thing was happening with Pizzagate, I thought it was complete bullshit. Now I understand that the grand ole pedophiles (GOP) were projecting. It was true and it was them in the Epstein files. Disgusting.

If there is karma, this could turn out poorly for pistol Pete, his boss, and his minions in the not so distant future.

Steven Beschloss@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social

Televised executions? Killer Pete Hegseth is a sick person. He, like his boss, never should have been allowed near the levers of power.
