Legal question here:
When do the people have the right to fight back?

Rectal (neuro)endocrines, obviously

So take over. You think Washington would've sat on his thumbs like this?

Are they still getting paid or is this 100% for the lolz for them?

Imagine if she stood up and said, f- this, and filed for a divorce.

Until it no longer serves her purpose. I, honestly, don't know who is really ride-or-die with the rapist when it finally comes down to it. Are any of his henchmen really that committed or just opportunistic?

I think, pure speculation here, that there's something more potentially at play - that has the Epstein Files at its core. For all of her petty defiance of trump, likely a result of your take on her not being VP, offering to walk the files down to the House floor is very intense.

Serious questions
Why is social security, Medicare, and Medicaid lumped together, when they are 3 different programs paid by 3 different tax categories?
Why don't economists break the GDP apart by tax category? How much of our non-social security taxes go to the DoD, for example.

We pay far more into insurance companies, hospitals, etc than we would into taxes for healthcare. Oh, and don't forget what we spend in the "bombing brown people" budget is so bloated and corrupt we could chip away at that.

Which is why they grossly outrank the US in education. And the idea that America has a 99% literacy rate is absolutely absurd. By what standard - that they can identify most letters and spell cat?
A girl I work with didn't know Washington State & DC were different. But she graduated high school. Wtf

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

He redid the Lincoln bathroom in marble and gold. And wants children to starve. I'm so fucking angry.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

I love your horribly, horribly misplaced optimism. Though I'm rooting for the dodgers to win but the American teams to lose, so it's a bit of a pickle.

Can't the governors preempt the rapist and assign the national guard to something else?

Yes, redistricting half way through the decade is very bad. Should the Dems not do it because of that? Only a democratic politician would ask such a stupid question.

shiva @riteofshiva.bsky.social · 1d

Disenfranchising one group of people to get the support of another group of people doesn't play out well.
And not pushing that group to vote, even if it was just a vote against trump.
Also, ditching Joe Biden that late in did not help.

shiva @riteofshiva.bsky.social · 1d

You should've supported Joe Biden, then we wouldn't even be here.
