I loved watching Jack Smith’s face during this exchange. It was the face of a smart person who knows that their accuser is about to outdumb the dumbest of dumbs and just lets him do it in public.

Because the expectation for democrats is perfection. The only expectation for repugnants is “has a penis”, “is a criminal”, and “is overtly racist”.

Cameras don’t stop crime any more than police presence in high foot traffic areas. Stop selling any type of policing as a deterrent.

I love how a post regarding the cognitive dissonance at the heart of all Repugnant messaging became a hate Hillary post.

No one will ever convince me that time is linear. Déjà vu is real and happened today while I was working on a spreadsheet watching a show I’ve never seen before, down to the dialogue. It is not the first time and surely not the last.

Reproductive violence finally has a name. How does the U.S. fit into the U.N.’s new definition? It took until July 7, 2026, for the world’s leading human rights body to call forcing someone to be pregnant—or forcing them not to be—what it is: (cont.) msmagazine.com/2026/07/25/u...

My latest piece was originally written for Democracy Docket members. They decided to share this one with everyone because of the stakes for this election. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

The GOP has a plan to undermine free and fair elections. We must stop them
The GOP is not acting like a party trying to persuade voters to support its candidates — because it isn’t.

One of my first thoughts upon waking to this news was “I wonder if Grindr had a moment of silence and hung their “flags” at half staff in remembrance?”

Shooting someone deliberately is not an “oopsie, my bad” and should never be labeled as a mistake. They murdered a man who wasn’t the intended target, but it was intentional regardless.

I think we should offer an alternative to book banning pressure; put the banned books in a room that only can be accessed by youth who have parental permission. Nothing creates a disobedient and curious child faster than denying them access to something to which the person next to them can access.

Saturday fun: I made the executive decision to stop saying “bless you” when someone sneezes. I’ve replaced it with “be gone, demon” and embarrassed my family by yelling it at the driver next us after he sneezed. Good times.

I have MANY concerns with AI and the plans for future utilization. AI robots to educate our children?! There is a wide swath of people who have lost their curiosity, and seem to think that we are at the end of discovery. All knowledge obtained and uploaded to the cloud. We are a stagnant nation.

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.

You know the KKK has been super quiet since Donny-Shits-His-Pants went and Made Racism Open Again…oh, wait. Never mind. They just hung up their robes and pointy hats in the coat room. The Klan meetings are held all over federal and local government now. They even have press conferences!

It is difficult to single out just one thing about the state of our society that makes me mentally and emotionally tired but one that is all-encompassing is manufactured grievance politics.

I wish these voters had enough imagination in 2024 to see where their vote would lead. Why must people drag us all into hell because they won't believe something will happen until it actually happens?

It also is a clear acknowledgment that the regime’s message that it is the citizenry causing the violence is knowingly false and deliberately misleading.

ICE and Border Patrol are well beyond reform. The Repugnants have blocked any meaningful immigration reform for decades. Now we have Felonious Don and his Racist Bunch using state mandated murder to instill fear in the resistance. The regime runs on fear tactics and Botox.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yes, of course I know about this but I truly believe that there are people complicit and reporting. We don't know where DHS is spending their huge budget. They harp on and on about "paid agitators" but I would bet there is some kickback happening for citizen reporters.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

This is the problem with one-issue voters. They don't do their research to find out what the whole agenda is once they hear that a candidate has an anti-"insert-whatever-phobia/issue/racist" campaign promise. Oh, you don't like the gays but are you comfortable with concentration camps? Cool, cool.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.
