The VA GOP has rigged a nomination for statewide office twice this century.

Once for the nipple-hater, and once for captain puffy-vest.

(They also rigged a congressional primary for homophobia reasons, but that's technically a separate thing)

If Spanberger wins Accomack, I don't think the VAGOP exists as a state-wide party anymore.

Their bench will be Miyares.

And that's it. (And assumes he can handle the headwinds from the top of the ticket)

Gotta make sure people don't get outsized expectations.

We have am extradition treaty.

And I don't imagine the Argentine left will care for the Yanquis.

Truly, this administration has discerning taste in enemies.

They came up with it, interestingly enough.

A minister in the Kirk is usually credited.

This is the sort of pedantry I remain on this site for.

Off-season, maybe. (Orlando has weird surpluses)

But July?

AS: My opponent has also previously said that she thinks it’s okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay. That is discrimination.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (2/2)

Honestly, I think that's the great power of No Kings.

Oh no, is someone going to bring back "civil union" discourse.

I do appreciate the history of Military Special.

"We're producing an excess of industrial alcohol"

"Just sell it to the GIs"

Begging military spouses to pay attention to partisan politics, evaluate their family’s articulable interests, and vote accordingly.

Yes, I know they’ll still mostly vote R because culture is everything, but some will abandon magical thinking.

“As a Republican, I’m very disappointed in my party and I’m very disappointed in you,” a Virginia woman named Samantha fumed at Johnson, who was taking calls from the public.

“Because you do have the power to call the House back. You did that -- or you refused to do that just for a show.”

The Tequila and Scotch always get me.

Though I do think the spiced rum and bourbon are underrated.

Stop voting for the guys MOAA keeps having to send you form letters petitioning against cutting benefits for.

They 100% chose tdidn't book Kerry because he actually has a soul on this.

New: Bari Weiss booked Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo, and Antony Blinken for a roundtable on Gaza, her first major move at CBS.

Notably on a CBS call today in which the panel was floated, one producer also repeatedly emphasized the need to hear from Palestinians in Gaza (Weiss did not respond).

Lies!

HRT is good, and it will be good for you and everyone else.
Even if it does seem daunting, inaction is not easier.

Well, Kerry has a soul, so yeah, probably.

Wandering Hoo @wanderlib.bsky.social · 7h

I was referring more to the arguments themselves.

I understand that it is procedure.
But this is a "look out the f***ing window" sort of case.

Wandering Hoo @wanderlib.bsky.social · 7h

I simply do not understand why the courts have to treat the ridiculous with credulity.

They want optics.

Yes, they're stupid.
But it's all theater to them.

And not proper theater either. The sort of theater that deliberately snubs its techs and crew and denies their existence.

The extent of good faith they have to extend to these chucklefucks in arguments boggles the mind.

A pro se SovCit has better arguments than the DoJ employed, and isn't constantly committing flagrant perjury along the way.
