What if you could do a bunch of lab tests at home anytime with no needles? Ask me about it! I listen to boring, droning, music, and bike a lot to stay happy. I comment on politics and culture to ruin all that.

Republicans in Congress got hours of free airtime in front of the American people. They spent it stating false facts as true and calling Jack Smith a dirtbag and a villain. Here's all you need to know, under oath.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

The only silver-lining in this blatant corruption is that the bulk of it was voluntarily extracted from unfortunate cult members. Traditionally, conservatives have valued self-reliance. I sure hope they remember that when these folks come knocking for help.

Saw a post about a ballot initiative in my town to raise a large amount of $ and the criticism was 'look how little they've done, why should we give them more money?' I get it, but it's a pretty standard conservative argument: government doesn't do enough, let's starve government to improve things.

Republican talking points coalescing around: Don’t believe what you see at the pump, grocery store, mortgage rate…America is hot, things are great, the economy is booming, you’re rich now. And if you don’t see that it’s all worth it to keep Iran from nukes.

Consider that congressional Republicans support and enable Trump's illegal war. Trump had this to say: “My question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up? [Iran] better behave," but also: 'rising gas prices are a small price to pay for the Iran war.' Sound like a worth price to you?

Trump 'deciding' whether to 'blow the entire nation up' in Iran threat — USA TODAY
President Donald Trump said in a Sept. 20 interview that he was "deciding" on escalating the war but was "open" to meeting his Iranian counterpart.

I agree with the then still articulate Donald Trump that lying and unnecessarily and illegally destabilizing the middle east are impeachable offenses. But look again at how much Trumpn is diminished in the last decade. He's no longer fit for office, regardless of what you may have thought then.

Supposing ICE, or FBI etc illegally show at polling places and disrupt voting. What recourse would there be? There’s about zero chance we’d nullify the outcomes while it’s litigated and about 100% Trump admin has thought of this.

SCOTUS has blocked the Trump Administration’s efforts to make it harder for Americans and Coloradans to vote from taking effect for this year’s midterm elections.​ Colorado’s secure elections can move forward without new last-minute barriers or confusion for voters and election officials.​
Governor Polis praises Supreme Court ruling blocking Trump Administration's voter suppression efforts in Colorado's elections.

"[Republican elected official], the president and leader of your party posted AI images of him trading billions, meeting with George Washington, and renaming Lake Ontario while an illegal war rages, and gas prices and the deficit are at all time highs. Do you continue to support this president?"

Supported slavishly by nearly every republican elected, Trump is open about his billions in corrupt stock profits while in office, absurdly suggesting that this is somehow a benefit for us the citizens, not himself. Trump is corrupt, inept, and insane. Vote him and his GOP lackeys out!

Trump says democrats want "him" to lose the "war" (when did Congress declare war?) I'd love for the U.S. get Iran to give up their nukes and keep the straight open. I wouldn't even be sad if that protester murdering regime weren't around any more. Which of those things is happening?
