A Supreme Court Justice saying/believing something this fundamentally incorrect about the expectations of their job should be disqualifying.

Alas…

"We’ll have fun on the stand with all of these people that say the Presidential Election wasn’t Rigged and Stollen [sic],” Trump posted, adding an all-caps claim it’ll be “THE TRIAL OF THE CENTURY!!!”

When we were told as youngsters that "any one of you could be the president of the United States!", I never imagined it could be interpreted as a warning rather than something meant to motivate young minds. 🤦🏽‍♂️

To any “patriot” who would tell these young folks to just leave the United States, I’d like to submit a preemptive YOU are the one’s who should be getting the fuck out. YOU are the ones who are un-American, YOU are the ones supporting a traitor to our country, and YOU are the ones fucking it up for everyone else by voting against not just your interests, but our interests as the not billionaire class. Hopefully, enough youth in this can be motivated to make us something to be proud of, rather than an embarrassment.

I'll also add a preemptive "I have no fucks to give" to anyone who wants to try and shame me for not playing nice with these "patriots". I definitely spend quite a bit of time trying to understand these people, but only in the hopes that a method to marginalize racists/traitors/bigots can be developed. You want to try to figure out how to "work with" these people, go right ahead. Not going to waste my time.

Less than authentic individuals cheering for the Orange One at his events is certainly nothing new.

There are many who choose not to celebrate until the Orange One has had "actual repercussions".

Me? Well...

To each their own. 🥂🍻🍸🍷

Noticing a lot of people on Lemmy scoffing at this development, which I suppose is their right. But you know what? I see this as a real win; Trump Org no longer being able to operate in NY is a big fucking deal.

Yes, he’ll likely make up the difference through donations from his rabid base. No, they won’t know about it because the right wing disinfo machine won’t tell them.

So what? It’s a fucking win, nonetheless. It ain’t shooting him and his ill gotten gains into the sun, but it is very well the first of a series of deathblows.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and all that.

Jesus fuck, I’m so glad someone else is panicking about their plans. Not too long ago, I finally realized the whole idea of these shitty laws being enacted in red states is a strategy to chase lefties out so that they control enough states to start a constitutional convention.

We fucking should be panicking, this is insane!!!

So, anyone else wonder if the plan for Republican controlled states here is to chase all of the left leaning people out, bolstering their majority stranglehold in certain states and sacrificing things like talented doctors/nurses/teachers/etc. for an electoral college advantage? Literal tyranny of the minority? Hmm?

Say it with me, everybody:

If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism; they will reject democracy.

After telling a friend of mine about the Mitch McConnell incident yesterday, and he replied, “Him and (Diane) Feinstein gonna get a little cabin together and just see out their years on the porch?

This gave me an idea. I had my other buddy who frequents Midjourney prompt it with “Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein sitting on a cabin porch on a couple of rocking chairs staring out into the sunset”

The result? Perfection.

This reminds me of my ex, who stated "I HATE Wikipedia" because "it looks dumb" when I mentioned it in passing.

She really earned that "ex" title...

This is great news, but forgive me if DeJoy still gets the stink eye from me due to the shenanigans with the mail sorting machines during the 2020 election.

Anybody else catch this opinion article The Hill posted the other day? Truly fucking incredible how Republicans will lie right to our faces about what their stances are on abortion.

First it was “states rights”, which was immediately followed by “time for a nationwide ban” after Dobbs.
 When it actually came time for states rights on abortion, it was immediately followed by “we’re gonna do everything we can to stop this” when they lost on it.
 Now they want to try to downplay what they really mean by “abortion restrictions” when everyone can plainly see their actions belie their words.
 They really think we’re fucking dumb, don’t they?

As a person of color, I wish I could say I had the self control not to let this rhetoric that slavery had benefit to anyone but the slave owners get to me. It is absolutely infuriating that anyone would suggest such abject fucking garbage, and anyone who thinks there's a bright side to owning other people can get entirely fucked.

The instant I saw the word "RIGGERS" in his bitch ass post yesterday, I knew exactly what it actually meant. Just more dog whistling fog horn blasting racism from The Cheeto Mussolini. 😡

Just our court system ruling for fascism, nothing to see here folks.

I mean, I’m no lawyer, but the idea that only the DOJ has standing when gerrymandering has an actual, tangible effect on individual voters seems absurd on its face.

There sure is a lot of shit out there that seems to expose kids to lead. If there were ever a conspiracy that I could believe almost immediately, it would be that hostile governments (or some other entity that benefits from poisoning our youth, I don’t know, I’m not a conspiracy scientist) are finding ways to put lead in all our products as a way to dumb us all down.

NICE FUCKING MODEL!!

Ugh, my liver is going to HATE me. It's Christmas in July baby!!
