It's amazing how quickly MAGA went from "Don't Tread On Me" to "Comply Or Die" about Renee Good after memorializing Ashli Babbitt just a few days ago...

I have been hit by old ladies pushing shopping carts at the grocery store that were going faster than Renee Good was going when the ICE agent shot her three times after she was already past her.

Spare me the "hE wAS iN fEAR fOR hIS liFE" nonsense.

Life was better before the internet. Sure, it was less convenient in some ways, but at least we didn't really know how many stupid, awful people there were in our country.

We didn't get daily reminders of it like we do now, either.

Conservative Absurdity Of The Day

"Oklahoma City bombing was not political. Dude was pissed about Ruby Ridge and Waco!"

Seriously...😑

Some of the worst attacks on our liberties were done in the name of drug enforcement.

"Terrorism" is the new "War on Drugs" and if you can label or connect something to it, you can do whatever you want with impunity.

Notice how the definition of terrorism is expanding to accommodate this.

Doctors in rural America have to battle lots of things: dire poverty, illiteracy, lack of transportation, unhealthy lifestyles. But they're increasingly having to face a new threat: Hostile MAGA dipshits who think modern medicine is liberal and woke.

The real difference between Liberals and Conservatives:

Liberals "Those people are victims and we should help them".

Conservatives "I'm a victim".

Trump in Israel: You'd think if you were speaking in front of another country's parliament to mark what you are trying to put forth as a historic peace accord, you'd have an actual speech and not over an hour of the same rambling nonsense you'd use in some half-empty high school gym in Montana.

It's just fantastic that we get to have a civil war in our lifetimes because boomers are bored after their life of opulent luxury and they can't tell the difference between what's real and what's fake on Fox News.

Watching the Bondi hearing back and Lindsay Graham is ranting like someone's drunk right wing uncle at a family get together...

Watching the Pam Bondi hearing today and laughing my ass off at the Republican dipshits and their performative displays.

Weird to watch Republican members of Congress be so concerned about "violence in our cities" even though those cities are pretty solid blue. Seems rather opportunistic to me.

Certainly, this is just a coincidence, right?....
