To paraphrase Tom Lehrer: Democracy is like a sewer. You only get out of it what you put into it. I used to hit metal and plastic with bits of wood for a living. AFM No DMs or porn.

They will still milk it for everything they can as the majority of the GOP are all in on authoritarianism.

Felon 47 is merely a battering ram.

So the @brewers.com set a MLB record by scoring 9 runs on 10 hits in the first 2 innings of a postseason game. 💪🫶

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

I’m a @brewers.com fan, so yes I am biased. However, this is a great read.

Don’t tell me about your religion, show me.

Aloha Stivo @funkydrums.bsky.social · 8d

I’m not at all religious but if this woman (or any other tyrannical apologist) should spontaneously burst into flame when they so openly lie, I might reconsider my stance.

Q: "Pope Leo said 'Someone who says [they're] against abortion but in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the U.S., I don't know if that's pro-life.' How do you respond?"

Leavitt: "I would reject there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the U.S."

Yeah, being caught in a lie doesn’t phase him or the other regime members one bit.

Don’t forget, this is the guy who is willing to create stories to tell his narrative. A verbose way to say that he lies and is unrepentant.

“They’re not interested in making government work” has been the M.O. of the GOP for the last 15 years or so at least.

They don’t enter politics to govern it is to break government.

In case anyone had any doubts, the GQP is entirely in on the oligarchy.
