When it could be put to better use like supporting grass roots efforts to oust Republican supermajority in various state legislators. That would be FAR more effective than another dog and pony show like a third useless impeachment

There's "not giving up" and there's "tilting at windmills". This is what frustrates me about the modern Democratic party. They are so obsessed with "impeaching" Trump when it will do nothing to change anyone's mind on either side, they are wasting time and money

What is a 3rd impeachment going to do the first two didn't do? FINALLY convince that one voter in the middle of Kansas that hey, maybe this orange feller ain't all he's cracked up to be?

Can someone explain why Republicans feel "DEI" is illegal that doesn't include some variation on "because it makes us whites feel bad about how we treat nonwhite, nonstraight people?"

Trump order aims to cut number of diseases all children should be vaccinated against from 18 to 11
The order reaffirms the dramatic overhaul to the vaccine schedule that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced this year. Those changes have been blocked in court.

Let's be clear, even though they gave him a couple of Ls, make no mistake, today Clarence "Uncle Tom" Thomas and his bootlicking cronies on the Supreme Court continued their year-long coronation of the Rapist felon-in-chief as King. Who needs "Checks and Balances"

Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. While I love Jeffery and The Wheelers and a lot of the others people mentioned, my favorite has to be @wilwheaton.net as Geordie in Stand By Me. It came out in my teens and he was the character I most closely identified with.

Let's be clear - 86 NEVER meant anything other than "get rid of", "make go away", etc until the felon-in-chief took offense to someone exercising their 1st amendment rights. Just another case of GOP gaslighting so the orange man-baby can get his petty revenge against any and all perceived slights.

Love the hypocrisy of the right - "Let's Go Brandon" "it's his fault", etc when gas prices rose post-pandemic Now that the felon-in-chief started a war to make his tiny dick feel bigger, prices are surging and those same people are all like "well, ya gotta expect it sometime, deal with it".

With both the House and the Senate GOP failing to do their jobs, the convicted felon-in-chief has now officially cucked the Republican legislature and Supreme court, which means we are now in a single-branch government and "checks and balances" are nothing but pure fiction.

TN GOP's proposed new State flag:
large red rectangle with very narrow vertical white rectangle on the right end and a slightly wider narrow blue rectangle to the right of that.

When will rank-and-file Democrats learn that the GOP DOESN'T CARE if the mases starve or not receive medical care? Pubs were perfectly happy waiting until they could declare martial law and break the Constitution. At least the people got SOMETHING back. They were never going to get ACA funding.

I was working mid-shift in tech support during Y2k, so I was asleep when it started. I got up and asked my wife if China had gone dark yet or not. When she reported it hadn't, I went back to sleep, secure I wasn't going to be disturbed the rest of my "night" (well, at least for Y2K-related issues)
