Redraw California, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Washington, and Oregon districts to overwhelm the handful of Republican districts there.

Then

Take full advantage of the fact that the R’s are pushing a very unpopular agenda and will have to weaken their advantages in red districts (making them a bit swingier) in order to get rid of blue districts.

Every time I pull the string on the back of this doll it says something nice to me. Is this true love?

It’s decidedly not suspicious. However, considering how hard Trump has been trying to hide the well-known fact that he spent an awful lot of time with his good buddy the child rapist/trafficker, I’m certainly not going to complain that it’s making people look at all of that. And I’ll mostly not highlight how not-suspicious it actually is.

Our product will make all jobs obsolete. That’s why we need to work our employees to death making it!

Fuck. Q was right. There is an elite network of child rapists and those who protect them. It’s the GOP.

Claimed for decades that he wanted a traditional society, but he didn’t die in infancy. Ducking hypocrite.

We had that nearly a century ago.

Meet grok circa 1920

Guess I’d be coming down with some sort of illness around August 24th if I were a Missouri worker affected by this law and its repeal.

Gonna keep the border safe and stop bad people coming into the country illegally.

Instead (or more likely, eventually), he got “gonna round up anybody who ‘fits the description’ and unperson them into the Dade-Collier concentration camp”

They’re working on that.

Obviously, they’re nothing centrist about this guy (besides, perhaps, his perceived position in the universe). They are, in fact, reactionaries, so definitionally right wing. But they believe they are splitting the difference between the Stalinist left (exemplified by the NYT) and the fascist right (unbeknownst to them, them).

The Dems who, since the shock of the Reagan revolution, swore off having a political project beyond “don’t make it worse” but accidentally foreclosed on making things better in the process. More recently, they’ve been heard saying things like “nothing will fundamentally change” in the face of a political situation that is very different from 40 years earlier.

Basically all the powerful Dems since Bill Clinton. Groups like the Democratic Leadership Council. They’ll poo poo ideas that regularly poll at 80% support across all parties, then spend all their political capital barely carrying a compromise position with 48% support across the finish line.

I really hope that we’re reaching a tipping point where people who believe in a better world and pursue policies to bring it about can have sustained political success

I’ll gladly accept a reactionary centrist spoiler party into the mix. Especially if it coincides with the Clinton wing of the DNC losing its ability to maintain its grip on power.

What does he care about a tax break? He already doesn’t pay his taxes. Is he just gonna not pay less?

Bribery is just argument by other means.

Clarence Thomas’s concurrence on the case they take after this one.

Shit like this and the willingness of the news media to frame it like that is the reason people describe politics as kayfabe. And why they aren’t exactly wrong to believe that.

Also recognize that while you experience imposter syndrome, where you incorrectly feel like an imposter, actual imposters have put themselves into load-bearing (and lucrative) positions in society.

The natural gas power plant would be producing the electricity that would go beyond the regular demand. And no, there aren’t any reactors there. There’s only about 50 nuclear plants in the country and Danville, VA didn’t get one.

Natural gas makes the plurality of electricity produced in the US, and to get there, it murdered coal, not nuclear or renewables, so bad as it is, it does represent an improvement in the American energy mix.

Do we need to do Trianon again?

A welcome change from the vice signaling that’s marked the last decade since his escalator speech.

I somehow doubt this indicates any sort of improvement in him as a person.
