There’s so much GOP cope happening today.
“At least Wisconsin approved voter ID so libs can’t cheat”
Wisconsin has required voter ID since 2015.
You spent millions of dollars and got your ass kicked for a rule that already existed and that fundamentally changes nothing.

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk can afford to blithely dismantle the healthcare of America's veterans at the VA.
As two rich draft-dodgers, they never need worry about getting help with treatment for military injuries.

Not a perfect man. Not a perfect president. But such a better man and better president than either Elon Musk or Donald Trump that hopefully he's well aware his legacy will outshine theirs forever. He got bills passed no one thought possible, oversaw a historic pandemic recovery, and modeled decency.

Biden's administration, like Obama's -- and sharply unlike Bush's or Trump's -- was ethically unimpeachable. Zero indictments, zero convictions.
And Biden, like Obama, got *zero* political credit for it, mainly b/c the media wouldn't tell the story.
