Magas, anime butterfly meme, “Is this the deep state?”

Republicans are the DARVO party.

I mean, hasn’t it been pretty clear for at least a year now that this is the plan.

I’d love for that to be so, but I think centrist dems are OK with status quo, nothing progressive, already. An influx of “conservative democrats” isn’t going to move the needle in a good way.

Again, sincerely hoping to be proven wrong, that’s just how I read it.

Raise your hand if you think this will result in meaningful consequences of any kind.

Seriously WTF is up with this?

Also innocent Haitian immigrants were attacked.

I can’t believe so many people are describing it that way. It’s clear there are plenty who will still vote for them.

I just see this making the Democrats even more conservative since the few non-batshit Rs will start looking that way and the leadership will try to woo them. (as they already are)

Progressives and actual leftists are going to be less represented, not more.

At least that’s my gloomy take. I’d love to be talked out of it.

He shouldn’t have access to sharp objects, nonetheless a firearm, or be fucking Sheriff. He’s a danger to his community.

So, par for the course with US law enforcement.

My bad.

But those damn Tesla shareholders…

No one who voted or will vote for him gives a shit anyway though, so the only way he’s going to go is if R does the right thing which, we know how that will play out.

I agree with everything you typed, but not so much the picture. I really think that body/looks-shaming Loomer is not a good look for us. There’s plenty to attack her on without attacking her looks.

I thought she was waiting to be tapped for VP honestly.

Obligatory -

FUCK YOU ANDREW JOHNSON!

And the worst part is SpaceX is a private company: no public shareholders to keep Musk in check.

Not like the Tesla or Twitter shareholders are doing much good anyhow.

Here’s a hint, all indications are that it would make things much, much worse.

It absolutely would, and Israel knows that too. So if there were a real threat of “take it down a notch or US support stops” I’m guessing that might influence Israel. But there is no such threat, they will continue to receive our unconditional support no matter what, and so it will continue until Netanyahu gets tired.

So terrorism…

Yes.

Whew. OK man. Have a nice day.

Wow what a dodge. It doesn’t matter the extent of the trauma or whether it’s the worst trauma they have had. You are minding your own business, have done nothing wrong, then the cops show up with a random accusation and “need” to put you in cuffs while they determine if you are a threat. Comply or violence. It’s not right.

And maybe, just maybe she might be a tiny slither more progressive than Uncle Joe too, but now I’m probably dreaming.

Ironically (in light of your comment) her clear conservative lean really concerns me. She’s backtracked on literally every progressive stance she held in 2020. This is the reason for her “my values haven’t changed” soundbite. Yes, R is trying to paint her as a flipflopper. I’m not doing that, I think she leaned into the social impact of BLM and the pandemic in 2020, and is now back to her conservative self.

She seems like a decent person, but unless this is all an act to get elected (and if it isn’t her statements during the runup to the 2020 election were) she’s just going to pull us to the right slower than Trump would.

Nothing would make me happier than to be wrong. Let’s see what she does on healthcare, UBI, police reform, corporate greed (price gouging grocery stores anyone?), and marijuana legalization. We already know she’s not going to do anything differently than Biden on gaza, which is to say continue to support Israel unconditionally.

100% better than trump, and I will vote for her without hesitation on that alone. But we still don’t have a President on the horizon who will do more than tolerate the progressive left in their party. At least that’s how I see it.

And maybe, just maybe she might be a tiny slither more progressive than Uncle Joe too, but now I’m probably dreaming.
