Sorry for how trite and predictable this is, but even though I was pretty cynical half my life ago, I couldn’t have imagined so vile and corrupt a personage occupying the White House as what is there now, nor how easily and with how much cooperation they’ve been able to destroy the Constitution and government that was based on it.
The main reason it would be better if he stays as a D is, that’s how it’s determined which party has the majority and thus gets power over what bills are allowed to come to the floor, power on the committees. etc etc. So even if he votes with R’s most of the time on bills, it’s still important.
Don’t forget MELTDOWN and PANICKING!
Yes! Confiscate the many billions that he and his family and minions have stolen from the people. Take it back to repair the damage to the infrastructure and reimburse taxpayers.

He is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. His job is to determine if something is lawful or not, that’s the whole point of his job.
I know. The point is he should have said it is unlawful, not “likely unlawful”. Or if he’s so afraid of hurting their feelings, he could say “I find it to be unlawful”.
“Likely unlawful?” Isn’t it literally your job to have the final say on whether it’s unlawful? If you found it unlawful, then say so!
They certainly have a lot of lawyers.
Each day when it (infortunately once again) opens its pig-like eyes, its first thought is, “what is the most filthy, disgusting thing I can do today?”
I can see how Alaskans keep voting for Murkowski because she always manages to get special dispensations for Alaska in return for her vote. That’s why she always acts like she “might just” vote differently than the rest of the party on bills that are important to them. Alaskans are OK with her voting with Repubs because it’s a red state, and they like the special carve-outs or extra funding they get from her efforts.
Collins just plays the “might just not” game because she’s in a Blue state so she has to appear more moderate and “reasonable”. I don’t know why Maine has put up with it for so long.

For at least the last 45 years, Republicans have cast every Democrat politician as a Socialist or extreme leftist. No matter how left, center, or middle they are, Republicans always say they’re far left. So why the hell would you move to the right just because you’re afraid they’re going to call you names? Everyone knows that no matter how far to the right you move, they’re still going to scream that you’re the most extreme liberal who has ever run for office?
What I found irritating was that the interviewer started off by falsely claiming that Nixon had campaigned with Piker, and Nixon had to point out that she hadn’t, before saying she’s heard of him but doesn’t know much about him personally.
So get ready folks. Piker is the new Pelosi–the poster child that the magats and magat-supported media will do everything they can to portray as a boogeyman villain, and tie all Democratic candidates to, regardless of where they are on the spectrum of Dem political views.
IMO this is where all the cries of “Socialist! communist! Left-wing extremist!” that repubs have hurled at Dems over so many years is backfiring on them. No one believes them any more. So now even actual socialists can run and repubs screaming that stuff doesn’t have much effect.
Wow, yeah it could depend on the area. I haven’t seen any in at least 10 years around here.
The only problem with that idea is that no one goes trick or treating any more.
edit: so are you all who get a lot of them in densely populated urban areas, or more suburban or rural? Just curious.
So many examples of getting away with crimes I can’t begin to keep track of it all. I hope someone is keeping track of all the crimes, and all and broken things that will need to be fixed. Just in case we ever get a chance to.

Trump and maga are not the establishment. They are extreme radicals with a completely different agenda than the establishment. Their agenda is to do away with the Constitution and replace it with an authoritarian regime centered on christian nationalism and fascism–of that’s not radical, what is? The fact that they managed to take over the government doesn’t make them “the establishment” unless you accept that they will maintain power and thus become a new “establishment”.
