We passed a law. They don’t get to force people to petition the king for mercy. We are still a democracy and this will be found illegal.

Maybe everyone pissed about this should call their Dem Rep and tell them to vote AOC?
Elderly politicians are clinging to the controls and flying the plane into the side of the mountain.
Senior Democrat Gerry Connolly beats out AOC in key vote for top party post on Oversight panel
The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.

The perverse situation in the ROK is unfolding into this kind of alternative reality where President remains head of state but might also be barred from leaving the country as a flight risk.
Kind of funny. Special investigators are reviewing whether to bar Yoon from leaving the country. As if he would sneak out. “Aren’t you that guy who declared martial law last week? Could have sworn I saw you on the telly”

Starting a campaign to demand that SNL start accurately portraying Trump's orange makeup.
I know it would be hell for the actor, but come on, enough covering for him.
Get creative with it. A different primary color each week or something.

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense.
Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.”
Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

I think Kamala should file for President again, partly for legal reasons and partly to ensure there's viable accountability for Trump's failures.
I sincerely think Kamala Harris should run for Governor of California in 2026.
1. She would be good at it.
2. She would win.
3. It would irritate and distract Trump.
4. She doesn't have to go out like this.
