Nancy Mace is being monstrous again–YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS:It's time to advertise Fable of the Mandrill again!
In Mandrill, a Congresswoman decides to use her hatred of trans people to turn herself into a movement. Except her Monstrous INSIDE soon starts to be visible OUTSIDE.

There is a slight chance that Schumer actually did a right thing.
The House of Representatives now must return to DC and get to work. If they don't, you'll know the GOP never intended to reopen.

MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL: When recycling the nonsense of the Satanic Panic, remember that it is directly responsible for the establishment of several "Christian schools" that engaged in ACTUAL child abuse, that innocent people spent decades in jail and that actual abusers have used it for cover.

I literally dont have the stamina to handle Satanic Panic! The Sequel, and since some stuff from the 1980s is resurfacing... here's some technology that's easy to access to debunk claims:

Some think Trump doing nothing but staring blankly while someone needs help behind him is a perfect expression of Right Wing ideology but it isn't.
An accurate metaphor for the new right would require him to be screaming "HOW DARE YOU COLLAPSE AT MY EVENT!!"

If you wonder why 1990s-2000s Neopagan/Heathen/Recon religionists were shouting about Dominionist Christian Movements like those spawning Russ "We live in a Post-Constitutional Republic*" Vought and the rest of the people behind the concept of replacing the USA with a theocracy...

I know this is pedantic, but Kim Davis was not "jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses." She was jailed for contempt of court because she refused to follow a court order (she had stopped issuing all marriage licenses). NYT makes it sound like the Woke Police broke down her door.

My Millennial son explained to me that most Millennials missed the GenX special hell of high school economics.
So, kids, here's the Smoot-Hawley scene from Ferris Bueller's day off, and a reminder of who always burns the economy down. Bonus GenX dying of boredom images.

After Trump’s major losses yesterday, the White House says it’s preparing executive orders aimed at changing how U.S. elections are run, citing so-called “blatant fraud” as the reason. It’s clear they just can’t accept losing.

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Why is no one bringing up the FACT that the United States was Number One Globally under Biden? I know people aren't into politics and not aware of the amazing job Biden really did. Facts are facts and Vance saying they inherited a bad economy couldn't be further from the truth. We WERE Number One.

We won't know until they rule, but it sounds like the businessmen who own SCOTUS have decided against tariffs, regardless of Trump's view.

The right wing has to call Mamdani a Communist because they cannot actually come up with anything that is wrong with Socialism.
Capitalism-as-designed actually assumes public goods are good things for public funding. Not having starving, uneducated or sick workers fuels Capitalism-as-designed.
