There are still more ways for the Republicans to destroy everything you know & love/appreciate.
We’ve had only <11 months of naïvely toxic optimists hoping the bar can’t go any lower.
But yes it can, yes it will, & they’ll all stay mired in stunned disbelief if they don’t accept reality.

And said ad is from an app that SUMMARIZES books so you don't have to read them.
I looked at a couple of the books on his rec list. One is by Peter Thiel... I didn't even know he "wrote" a book.
Another is "Lying", about how lying is wrong, which is hilarious to read while thinking about Elon.

Avoid embarrassment, exaggerate accomplishments, cover-up wrongs, broken promises, conceal DEFECTS IN THEIR PRODUCTS, MISLEAD THE COMPETITION TO GET AN EDGE?!
Wait, is Sam Harris writing ABOUT Elon Musk here?
Oh wait, lie to spare someone's feelings?
No, he's not. My mistake.

Too true. Guys like Trump and Musk are little lost rich boys living way off the map. They are miserable sods fleeing from reality, trying to outrun the laws of nature and society, knowing all the time that they cannot outrun their own wretched selves.

We have sworn declarations from USIP's president, security chief, chief of staff, director of comms and two members of outside counsel who were all present the day of the raid and support our bid for MPD to release the body cam footage. They agree Americans deserve to know what happened that day.
Former USIP security chief says MPD gave 'high-fives and fist bumps' after raid
The latest on the lawsuit to get MPD's body cam footage released.

And absolutely remain UA reg, that's a very valid and normal choice. But be aware that if there's a Dem candidate you truly like and want to see succeed, if they go through the caucus process instead of Petition you may never see them on a primary ballot if you don't go to caucus to fight for them.

I (Sasha, chair of the county party) am by no means an advocate of the C&A process, we need to change the whole process. But it's what we have for now and I am responsible for making it work.
The more people who attend with passion and drive, the better the candidates we get on a primary ballot.

We have primaries in NY and you have to be a registered Dem to vote in them. For primaries in June you have to switch from independent to Democratic IN FEBRUARY. People run a serious risk of disenfranchising themselves. And yes, the real races are usually the primaries.

Please note that my remarks are limited to Colorado, because I know what you have to do to get a real challenger on the primary ballot. Wherever you are, focus on that. We need to get it done.

Get primary challengers on the ballot so we can get the people who are coasting along out of government.
