If you want to call genital mutilation, that's fine. But let's not put it in the same category as female genital mutilation. That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

Oh my god, this man is a complete loon. How can anyone not see that?

You're not a broken record. You're doing a great job. Your posts are right on.

Indeed. Garland was a disaster. And Biden didn't help by running for a second term, when he was clearly not up to it.

Well you figured it out, right? Did you get everything first hand, from Trump, and Harris, and everyone else? No, you got it from media. So let's not pretend "the media" is a monolith. There's plenty of information out there for people who are interested in learning and critical thinking.

Indeed. A third didn't vote, 1/3 voted for the criminal--and only 1/3 of us came out to stop him. Pathetic, lazy and deplorable.

Your average person on the street appears to be getting less and less bright, with each passing year, I'm afraid.

Psycho criminal:
"Hours earlier Thursday, Trump signed a memorandum directing his Republican administration to target backers of what they dubbed 'left-wing terrorism' as he alleged without evidence a vast conspiracy by Democrat-aligned nonprofit groups and activists to finance violent protests."

This is beyond dangerous:
"President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the Illinois governor and Chicago mayor should be jailed as they oppose his deployment of National Guard troops for his immigration and crime crackdown in the nation’s third-largest city." -AP

Well, that was actually the Weekly World News, but yes, not that different.

Actual insurrectionists are pardoned, while fictional ones are created by the criminal president to further his authoritarian plans. This is existential-level danger, folks. Act like it.

Ned Wilcox @nedwilcox.bsky.social · 9h

Your general point is valid. There was an actual monster on the ticket in 2016, 2020 and 2024. Each time, only a third of us turned out to stop him. 1/3 did not vote and that's absolutely deplorable.

When a Republican with a room temperature IQ like Greene can see the writing on the wall, it makes you wonder how long this fetid regime can last. And generally I am a pessimist.

Ned Wilcox @nedwilcox.bsky.social · 9h

Nonsense, Kaz.
Try to think a little bit before you post.

I repeat:
Emergency care for undocumented folks amounts to less than 1% of the entire Medicaid budget.
This is 100%, USDA-certified, prime Republican horseshit.

Oh for chrissakes. Thune is not an idiot, yet he spouts this utter nonsense without batting and eyelash.
