The Republican Party must end.
But they were deceived, for, the procession being ended, when everyone went about to gather of this dew, and to drink of it with full bowls, they found that it was nothing but pickle and the very brine of salt, more brackish in taste than the saltest water of the sea.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Scott Walker has been out of office in Wisconsin for seven years and we're nowhere near fixing the damage wrought by Scotty and his cabal. They made Wisconsin the test lab for just about every right-wing trial balloon since foisted on America.
"when these shitsticks leave office, there are going to be so many broken pieces to glue back together. please don’t scream at the next Democratic president when they don’t have everything fixed after three months. it’s going to take years."
here's today's post: "Preznit Fuckwit pardons turkeys, forgets to collect bribe" — just another batshit day in the tinpot republic of America.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Sinema going gaga for MAGA and MAHA:
When I worked for the state of AZ, some people told me she was crazy.
I assumed they meant too left-wing, which didn't bother me at all.
Looking back, I should have pressed them for more info.

We knew this already. But of course we have to wait for the supposedly more sophisticated minds of the commentariat to catch up, claiming that it’s all original and current wisdom. Oh, corrupt, you say? Dangerous? Criminal? Stupid? Imagine that!

This is a people’s movement. It’s good when politicians or other influential people speak out or join the fight. But those public figures should not become the focus. Don’t buy into the “s/he should run for president” or “here’s our charismatic leader” mindset that the media is always stuck on.
