"The kangaroo is a funny animal. When attacked, it defends itself." ~ Neville Cardus

"This is what I observe or expect to happen" isn't the same as "This is what I want to happen." Not even remotely close.
Off duty.

Or use him to channel antisemitism.

Let me know when he dies.
November 18, 2025 at 5:31 AM
This cannot end without violence.

There will be no circuit for him. He has been a pariah since Barr smashed the Mueller investigation.
November 18, 2025 at 5:26 AM
Oh, I can't wish enough harm on him. I love that he is suffering. I do regret that his oppressors get to set a precedent with which they punish some of "us."

We need more people like you.

Make it to trial or not, I do not expect Comey to be found guilty of anything.

But he'll be lighter about $250k to $500k in legal efforts, time, health...

Seriously, people, Gangreene is toast. This is her last 12-13 months in elected office.

She is done. Liz Cheney was far more powerful and universally liked in the Republican circles.

Gangreene's best chance is to beg TACO 45 to take her back.
November 18, 2025 at 1:28 AM
Except Cheney did not come out against TACO 45 until *after* January 6th. When he had lost, and she miscalculated her power. She was #3 in the House and was sure of holding on to her seat.

Democrats can do whatever they want, but it is folly to even wait.

She is a Nazi asshole.
November 18, 2025 at 1:20 AM
Democrats will have egg on their faces if they think she is now anti-Trump.
November 18, 2025 at 1:19 AM
Yes, but he'll vote Republican.
November 18, 2025 at 1:17 AM
I disagree that Liz Cheney was important. She *cost* Harris votes because she was dogshit. Turned off enough voters, and the disrespect at the DNC worsened it.

Newsom has been a vicious asshole to the trans community. Further, he gave assholes like Kirk and Bannon a platform to spew their bile.

If it comes to Newsom being the candidate in the general, I'll vote for the lesser evil over the Republican.

In the CA primaries, I'll vote for someone better.
November 18, 2025 at 1:15 AM
I disagree. Liz Cheney was dogshit. And welcoming her cost Harris votes. Especially when she led antiabortionists like Kinzinger and Duncan to speak at the DNC and not Tlaib or AOC or ? who had promised NOT to do anything to hurt the party.
November 18, 2025 at 1:04 AM
It is not a complete list, and I am not sure if someone recanted late. But my voting pattern does the following:

1. Anybody over a Republican
2. Lesser evil over greater evil
3. Send donations, whenever I can, to candidates directly and only if polls show them with a coin-toss chance.

At such points, I normally say "have patience." Then I realize that my patience extends to a couple of decades. Nothing is going to change until the youth feels the pain and realizes that fascism cannot be overcome without violence.
November 18, 2025 at 12:59 AM
Even that Harris endorsed Mamdani.
