A large pot sits in plain sight. There’s a frog in it… A panel on TV debates whether the frog is being boiled or merely poached. https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/signs-the-frog-has-been-boiled
I mean, Republicans *are* openly evil.

Old enough to vote!
February 18, 2026 at 4:43 PM
Bad! But better than Stephen Miller.
February 18, 2026 at 4:39 PM
But all better than the alternatives. That’s my point. And it’s not close.

Not voting helps Republicans unless you would vote for Republicans
February 18, 2026 at 4:32 PM
Who is this?
February 18, 2026 at 4:31 PM
Huh?
February 18, 2026 at 4:24 PM
I’m not here to respond to childish demands.

What I want is your health and welfare, and I’m fighting for it. I want everyone to have healthcare. Period.
February 18, 2026 at 4:22 PM
Putting you in “institutions” !!

Lord, no I don’t want that what on Earth. You are hallucinating. Or being a jerk, to suggest I want to cause you harm. I am on your side.
February 18, 2026 at 4:21 PM
I’m imagining it. You didn’t like BotNS? So good!
February 18, 2026 at 4:19 PM
So your position is, actually, that the party of Vance, Miller, Mike Johnson, and Trump is better than the party of AOC, Hakeem Jeffries, Andy Bashear, and Amy Klobuchar.

Like, I can just pic Dem names at random: they are all much, much better for our lives. And trans rights!

Yeah: be an adult.
February 18, 2026 at 4:18 PM
“gramps” - hahahahahaha!

I, mean, I hope I make it to being a grandpa some day and I hope you get to be an old person too… but just a hilarious retort. Also, as if being old is some sort of insult. I love grandparents!

February 18, 2026 at 4:15 PM
You prefer Mike Johnson and Steven Miller to Hakeem Jeffries??

Really?

Please. Stop.
February 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM
No, the real lives I am referring to *are* the lives of trans people.

Seriously: so many children on this website.

Grow up.
February 18, 2026 at 2:59 PM
Baloney. I want Dems to be much, much, MUCH stronger. But even take some of their most disappointing figures…

Hakeem Jeffries >>>>> Mike Johnson

It’s not even fucking close. Like, one is a poodle and the other is a shark with half your torso in its jaws.

Be an adult.
February 18, 2026 at 2:59 PM
You must be extremely privileged and protected from harm to make such a completely asinine statement odds with all facts and evidence.
February 18, 2026 at 2:56 PM
Completely insane and twisted statement. Do you think helping REPUBLICANS is going to be good for trans people? That’s what you are doing.

Put on your adult pants.

We’re all on the same team, let’s go fucking win elections and stop infighting.
February 18, 2026 at 2:55 PM
I thought it was correct and people who are so unserious as to want to help MAGA *harm* trans people don’t really deserve more effort and time than a copy / paste.

Seriously. Grow up. We all want to help trans people. Being a child and helping J.D. Vance and Stephen Miller isn’t the way.
February 18, 2026 at 2:53 PM
Completely twisted statement from you. My point is that *trans* lives are at stake and helping Republicans by withholding votes from Democrats (who are much, much, much! better on trans rights) *harms* trans people’s rights.

Oy. So childish.
February 18, 2026 at 2:50 PM
Hahaha - just so obtuse. Lives will be better with Democrats in charge and it’s not even close. You people are just helping Republicans harm you. It’s literal self-harm. Out of a duty to care for you we should all just ignore you.

Well, it was blatant wrongthink! Did economists really think they would be exempt from punishments?
February 18, 2026 at 1:54 PM
Yeah: just do not attend.

Why is that so hard?
February 18, 2026 at 1:48 PM
Seems like a good reason to vote for Talarico!

🤷🏻‍♂️
