Every elected Democrat who called on Joe Biden to withdraw over his debate performance better call on Donald Trump to resign over last night's speech, or they're admitting they upheld a bad faith grading curve.
Support a national gerrymandering ban or shut the fuck up and watch this keep happening.
You wanted to anger the libs. Congratulations.
We’re angry, and you’re finding out that there are consequences.
This is the most preposterously partisan gerrymander imaginable: 10 D / 1 R, ie 91% of Virginians would have D reps!
For background, Virginia had a GOP governor until last month, Trump got 46% in 2024, and current delegation is 6 D / 5 R (45% of Virginians have an R rep now).
If Donald Trump is allowed to name a class of warship after himself, I'm fine with a "slut-class" vessel at this point, and this isn't shaming.
"The slut's maximum speed is 35 knots."
"The slut can make short work of enemy defenses."
"The slut is powered by a nuclear reactor."
As an American, this is the starkest advice that I have to offer to anyone from another nation: have nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump has threatened to invade a lot of nations/territories, including multiple NATO allies.
None of them have nuclear weapons.
This will sound hopelessly naive, but I miss the United States. As someone who lives in a western democracy, I always felt safe knowing they were on our team. It’s gone forever for me, because now I know who Americans are because they voted for him and I’ll never forgive them
@AKISTALLI I think the most offensive thing about this is that he could have said nothing. Even if he holds this (completely indefensible) view, he had the choice to keep it to himself, and he didn't.
@hecubian_devil “Folks, not only did these people make us wear masks during the viral pandemic, they did it on the grounds that it was designed to protect us. How dare they consider us a class of people in need of protection from a virus. Never forget what these people did to us.”
@WelchRobII Chuck Schumer worked to get Joe Biden out of the presidential race and then voted for a continuing resolution backed by Donald Trump. Sorry, but this is a track record that nobody in the Democratic leadership should have.
@tbonier You remember the behavior of Republicans throughout the viral pandemic?
They literally allied themselves with a virus to demonstrate how far they will go to stick it to people who are Democrats, even at the expense of their own lives.
That psychology doesn’t stop at COVID.
@tify330 “Donald Trump’s first term as president was marked by the death of Americans on a massive scale.
To engage in bipartisanship with this man is tantamount to running to the center of death itself."
Just waiting for any Democrat to say this truth out loud.
@frogs4girls Much simpler observation: the people talking about colonizing space are making climate change on the planet Earth worse. They can't even colonize the planet on which they were born right.
@stacycay Hi there Stacy. I respect your rights as a trans woman, and I am politically committed to advancing your rights to the degree that I can.
But you're experiencing the infringement of your rights that people of color in the US have endured for centuries.
@Texasbrn “Christ is King”
You people would rather have the Devil as your ally than Jesus Christ, and Donald Trump is basically the closest thing you’re getting to that alliance.
@PercyHopweather Bernie Sanders still can't say that the GOP assault on the economic safety net in the US is because the majority of white voters would rather immolate their own economic self-interest than put up with civil rights.
Because that might risk civil rights being the star of the show.
