No, no, you see… I’m supposed to be leaving prison not coming in. >

Was there a fart involved? >

"We are all domestic terrorists" >

I bring this up as often as possible. It’s the party of domestic terrorism. Jan6, jan6 pipe bomber, Whitmer plot, the guy the attacked an fbi office, the power grid attacks. Not to mention death threats being pretty common place in republican rhetoric. >

Don’t forget the Republican candidate who shot up 6 Democrat houses recently. >

Thank you I’m adding it to the list >

I believe we need more women in power. I do, however, insist that they be human. >

And have a decent grasp on objective reality (it’s sad that we have to specify that now). >

Objective reality is dead and we best get used to it. And to be honest, it never really was much of a thing to begin with, we just didn't realize how many otherwise normal seeming people believed utterly insane bullshit until facebook came along. It felt nice thinking "if we could only get these people the facts they would surely change their minds", but logic and reason fail when you're not living in the same universe. >

Only if we allow it to continue to slip. It's not too late. >

The vast majority of people on the planet still believe in some variation of sky person snuffing us into existence so yeah we are well beyond slipping we are still hurtling towards some kind of religion showdown. >

This is it exactly. Jewish space lizards = weird, but Jesus put my cancer into remission = perfectly cool and normal.  Meanwhile in objective reality they are both 100% false >

I prefer to live in a world of Jewish space lizards.  That might possibly explain the lasers that so worry MTG.  L'Chaim! >

Space lasers, space lizards? Oy, so what's the difference more or less? >

Jason, buddy, I really feel like you only know about 20% of what's going on. >

If the senate flips in two years and these fucks are still in power…..shits over. >

I'm still in awe at how even the House flipped after the shit show of the past 6 years and literal insurrection that played out live in front of everyone's faces.  Certainly there's gerrymandering, but man, we are a truly dumb nation. >

Democrats had a historic turnout for midterms.the senate will not flip red on a dem presidential cycle, and with these thin margins, we may even get a good majority in both the house and senate this time. We need 9 seats in the senate for the supermajority. >

2024 is going to be a difficult map to gain any seats in the Senate, even with a presidential election cycle. Democrats are going to have to focus on defense protecting their majority above s else. Best case scenario for the 2024 Senate race is dumping Sinema and hopefully getting a progressive in there. Won’t change the number of seats but at least it’ll be one more progressive voice in there. >

Blackburn and Cruz are possibilities. >

Idk. I have lost all hope in Texas and Tennessee hasn’t indicated it’s flipping blue anytime soon. >

All they have to do is get Nashville and Knoxville to show up. >

I wish I had your optimism but that's not happening. The Democrats will maybe, maybe flip the seat in Texas in addition to defending all the others. A lot of things would need to happen for that to be a possibility though, Cruz would have to become even more unpopular than he already is and the Democrats need to run a good candidate. This means telling the perennial loser Beto O'Rourke to fuck off and stay out of it publicly. I would pick Julian Castro so as to make inroads with the Latino communities there. But given the stupidity of the people in Texas, it's not impossible, but also not likely. 
I think the most realisitic scenario is that Republicans win the senate 51-49 with people like Tester barely holding on and Gallego picking up Sinema's seat. Sherrod Brown is likely gone despite his popularity because of how red Ohio is and West Virginia will flip. Best case scenario is 50-50 IMO. Only West Virginia is lost in that scenario.
Regardless, the Democrats had better hope they can send Susan Collins and Thom Thillis packing in 26' and then get Mary Peltola to run for the seat in Alaska at some point. >

Well, Garland didn't want to go after the insurrectionists like Marge and here we are.
This is the modern Republican party, do you feel their values and goals align with America? 
I sure don't. >

Honestly I think Garland is doing exactly what he was hired to do = Do nothing but pretend like he's doing something until the next election when it can all be swept under the rug. >

How do you sweep something under the rug that has already been the biggest Congressional investigation and biggest Justice Dept investigation since Watergate? If they intended to sweep it under the rug they fucked up. >

You're right but when it comes down to it our politicians will not allow their own kind to go down, No matter how distasteful those people are. >

Denny Hastert got arrested. Trump isn't going to avoid indictment. Whether he's convicted is another question. MTG may have committed a crime but being vocally supportive of an insurrection is not a criminal offense and that's all I know she did for sure. >

Being vocally supportive of insurrection is a crime in certain circumstances, when it “intends to incite or produce imminent lawless action, and the speaker's words or conduct must be likely to produce such action. These requirements are known as the Brandenburg test. (Brandenburg v. Ohio, 395 U.S. 444 (1969).”
Also, while not criminal in nature, vocally supporting an insurrection does bar a person from any office of public trust, for life under the 14A, Section 3.  The ‘Aid and Comfort’ rule is a very low bar to run afoul of.   Even just unsuccessfully attempting to do so has disqualified a person. >

I kind of think she gets a dopamine rush from posts like this and I wish they would deny her that instead. >

i thought everyone learned in middle school that when someone is trying to get a reaction out of you there's only one response: no response >

The GOP has lost its soul, morals and values.   It's a total shit-show now. >

The GOP should not be judged as a political party with morals and values to be weighed and balanced, but as a politicized crime syndicate as may be found in many other countries. For example, one does not consider whether the Russian State Mafia has lost its soul. >

Exactly this. The GOP is politically organized crime. >

"If we ran Jan 6, we would have won"
"Here's your gavel" >

Clearly she won >

For now. >

God let’s hope you’re right >

It's all a game to the GOP. America is toast. >

And she’s the toaster. >

And we’re the bread. >

The GOP doesn't care how ridiculous, insane, and hypocritical they look. Insanity is the point. They want people to be angry enough that they stop paying attention to the circus. Less political engagement from people means less oversight from politicians. 
They're already insulated by a nigh-impenetrable media bubble of propaganda and confirmation bias that prevents their fascist and fascist-adjacent followers from holding them accountable. Now they want to drive down "moderate" voter turnout to help their gerrymandered districts keep them in power. All the drama is grease for the gears, and we're heading full speed toward a permanent authoritarian takeover of the government. >

And, we the people, are going to let it happen. It’s a tragedy. >

Voter outreach, and giving people reason to believe they can effect a change is going to be crucial. Sure, there are a lot of factors working against us, but defeatism is jut going to turn into complacency. 
There are a lot of things people can do: Engaging with their social networks about the importance of these issues and the dangerous trends. Voting. Championing decency, respect, and dignity. But also shaming the violent troglodytes and provocateurs trying to sow discord. >

Republicans haven't figured this out yet, but putting MTG out there as the face of the GOP is a precious gift from Kevin Mccarthy to the democrats.
The GOP looks dumber and crazier every day. >

This is the state of the GOP and yet dems continue to barely hold power or lose outright.  We act like anyone with a brain should see this problem and yet 40% clearly don't and another 20% are swing voters.  
I don't think 60% of america is that dumb.  I think the dem party leadership is absolute garbage at marketing and presenting a clear and reasoned argument.  The GOP has vilified the idea of liberalism for so long, people will vote for anything over dems in many states without consideration for facts or policy.  Dem leadership needs to step up or get out of the damn way. >

No , I work with people in retail. They are that dumb >

The dual-party political system in America is only put in place to divide the people. Look for yourself, think for yourself; most issues don’t need to be classified as either republican nor democratic, they just don’t need to have a label. The reason racism is still perpetuated is as a means of division of the people.
The reason we have narration in certain media as to what religion we should hate this week, is to keep the people divided.
The more and more we feed into these systems, the more wins the capitalists gain, and these politicians are just capitalists and puppets of capitalists.
The problem is, we are way too stupid as a nation to see past these glaringly obvious systems used to keep us in control and to even in some extreme cases incite violence on one another.
Stop being sheep, stop listening to your shitty idiot parents and friends and regurgitating bullshit.
Take a simple sociology class, and at least be tuned into what systems exist within our nation as a means of divide.
Stop being a fucking ignoramus and inciting anger and violence towards people who you don’t agree with.
Start being neutral to people’s beliefs, and try to persuade them under the guise of what is right or wrong, not what is more conservative or liberal.
Fuck dude, we are so stupid. >

Fucking nailed it. I wish more people had your perspective. Preach! >

not to be conceited as if this is my own original thought, but you’re right. people do need to have this point of view, as a majority, for the problems we have with this nation to come to a stop.
i would strongly suggest a neutral open conversation with any friends/family/intellectuals, who would be willing to sit down and appreciate different perspectives.
over time, if enough neutral and non-judgmental, civil conversations occur, people will change their views.
Over time, if enough people change their views and wake up to the systems at play keeping us at lower levels of consciousness and action, then we will have gained a major victory for our posterity.
appreciate the positive feedback, glad to know some people are able to see past the noise. we just need more on this side of perspective. >

This week on ow my balls ! >

She perjured herself multiple times in her testimony regarding January 6th.
By letting her go without even a slap on the wrist, this is the result. We’re in fucking trouble for not holding these insurrectionists accountable.
