it's stunning the way you almost forget how many opportunities this corrupt mess of a country had to put an unremarkable grifter away before he could do significant harm

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it.
He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted.
Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

The specific claims of the QAnon movement almost invariably were unfounded. But their big picture narrative — that a global pedophile cabal has captured the United States government — might have a sliver of truth to it, except not in the way they thought.

I’m not a Sarah McBride stan or anything but it sure has been instructive how every little thing she does is supposedly the Final Betrayal of Our Community but a burly petty capitalist can have a Nazi tattoo and we’re supposed to take bullets for him. Is this gender? Is a gender happening here?

It is fundamentally *not reasonable* for people in blue states and across the country to have the government besieging us
This is not normal and okay, and the fact that people find this rightfully enraging is necessary to build resistance and continue working to stop what's going on

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

I truly don't know what the right choice is here.
On the one hand, it's easy to say "Hold the line!" when you have a paycheck and zero food insecurity.
On the other hand, giving up what little leverage the minority party has in a bad situation is hard.

I saw a lot of dooming over this case & how it meant that Obergefell would be overturned within the year
But it looks like not a single justice was willing to go on the record to take this case.
Try to remember that the worst case scenario doesn’t always come to pass, even in Trump’s America
