I *love* this quote from Pontevedra's mayor, Miguel Anxo Fernandez Lores:

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. For me, it's the same as if you bought a cow, or a refrigerator, and then asked me where you're going to put them."

1/ Let’s try a thought experiment.

Suppose you heard that in another country, a defeated former president who had attempted a coup was granted immunity for that coup by six Supreme Court judges, half of whom he had appointed; that this attempted coup included a widely-televised, deadly assault on the nation’s capitol intended to prevent the certification of his defeat in the last election; and that the Court’s immunity ruling came just months before a next election in which this defeated president is once again a candidate, seeking to recover the powers he previously abused.

What would you expect the focus of news reports about that Supreme Court’s ruling to be?

a) Debating whether the ruling itself aligns with the history and traditions of that nation’s legal system, or

b) Explaining the Court’s role in an ongoing authoritarian coup.

Trump: You have to get out and vote. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four years, it will be fixed, it will be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore.. In four years, you won’t have to vote again.

@MattGajtka Impressive. Skipped right past the "deez nutz" stage and right into ball sack jokes.

Al Gore is too boring and condescending!
I'm not excited about John Kerry!
Hillary Clinton isn't likeable!

That's how you got 5 hard right Supreme Court justices, the Iraq War, the Great Recession, a deepened climate crisis, an awful response to Covid, loss of abortion and voting rights, and an insurrection at the Capitol.

But sure, if Joe Biden isn't for you, I'm sure there won't be bad consequences.

@JV_PITT Dude. So very sorry to read this just now. FWIW, my Dad passed 27 years ago, and as i've grown through all the stages of being an adult, a husband and a father, my relationship with him also grew, and continues to. Our fathers never really leave us. He'll always be with you.

If your political agenda repeatedly puts you in various scenarios that involve overthrowing electoral outcomes, there might be a problem with your political agenda.

A few facts:
Alvin Bragg’s leading opponent in his election spent $8 million on her own campaign, vastly outspending Bragg.
The PAC that got some of its money from George Soros spent about $500,000 for Bragg.
The Soros references you hear are all anti-Semitic dog whistles.
