Aside from the bullshit he is spouting, what the hell is going on with his face? Is he over-Botoxed or what? He looks weird and different
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

The problem isn't that they caved for a promised vote; the problem is that the vote will be a meaningless gesture impressing no one but Senate Democrats.
It will fail. ACA beneficiaries will suffer considerably as a result and there will be no consequences of any kind for Republicans.

Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Trump on the Nobel: "Nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months. And I've stopped eight wars. That's never happened before. But they'll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine."

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed.
But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

He really, really wants to kill the economy, doesn't he? This will hit the construction/renovation market very hard
The administration’s fight with Home Depot has escalated from the initial raids by the crack ICE agents in Sealant Team 6 to a full blown economic war.

Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.

What's with all these people saying Democrats have to run candidates who are pro-life, don't care about climate change, and don't want to protect LGBTQ rights?
If I wanted that kind of candidate, I'd vote for a fucking Republican.
Let me be clear: I will NOT vote for those candidates.

I have lived in the DC area for more than 35 years. I have never been robbed or mugged. I have always worn a watch. I admit my nightlife days are behind me, but my prime was in the late 80s, early 90s when crime in DC really was bad. Trump's goons scare more than anything else in DC

He was very good in person with his trans fans too. Growing up going to SF cons, I met many trans people before I even knew what trans meant. I gave my parents very little they needed to accept in their child, so they had lots left over for everyone else. 😉 www.thepinknews.com/2021/08/06/t...
