    Once all these pieces of shit are lodged in our government theres no going back without bloodshed. This is going to fuck us for years to come.

    It’s amazing that “lifetime” positions are not considered controversial in and of themselves by most people.

    They took over judicial branch some time ago. I wander what’s going on in Pentagon. Is the top brass full of loyal fascist already?

      Seriously. If you can’t get at least 70% to agree, 80% for fewer than 10 people voting, then find another guy.

    Well this is a particularly bad mistake at a quite inopportune time, I feel like. Silver lining, perhaps: a lot of crazy shit is unfolding in front of a public that is becoming more aware of how bad of an actor the current president is showing himself to be, and he might be in real danger of losing control of his base in numbers that matter.

    Voting season will be a proving ground. I am hoping midterms have a strong and resolved response to this shit and the results are outside margins of error. I can’t accept the alternative, it’s too sad a prospect to really process right now. I really do think a fair vote will reveal the resilience of our democracy. I really fucking hope we have free and fair elections for midterms. I think we will, I hope beyond hope we do, I am asserting we will and now reality must bend to my will, we will. I hope.

      I thought that a lot. I think we simply don’t understand how utterly pervasive this propaganda network is. Children, raised on Rush Limbaugh, now have children who follow skeezy podcasters.

      With corporate news being the sewer it is, I don’t think we’re going to get out of here. Some major media change is going to have to happen and that’s never happened in anyone-here’s lifetime.

      Nah,Collins and Murkowski only vote against GOP nominees and bills when they know that they’ll still be confirmed/pass and for Dem ones when they know they won’t.

      The rest of the time they follow the party line as slavishly as the rest of the fascists and fascist enablers.
