2024

VP Harris makes blatant, urgent, wanton, desperate attempt to increase favorability rating among Hey Boomers:

“I cannot emphasize enough that they need to get to it as quickly as possible,” Marijuana Moment reported, quoting Harris, who was referring to the ongoing DEA review on cannabis scheduling.

For fucks sake, NOW it's important to do something the voters want.

NOW I am fine with them leaving it illegal in KS, NE, IA and OK so that those suckers can pay taxes here in MO.

You sound like someone who deserves a tax cut.

I'll have a talk with her.

Pence goes on Fox and announces he won't endorse Trump in 2024.

[ousdahl]

oh, yeah, great, NOW Pence finally grows a backbone.

Could get interesting.
It would not be surprising to see the 2 factions of the GOP start eating each other.

That would be among the best things to happen to this country.

I no longer think it’s going to go like that. In fact I think it’s already happened: MAGA took control of the GOP like a brain fungus.

Those Rs who have not (yet?) fallen prey do not recognize the GOP they see, even though in a perfunctory or mechanical or rudimentary sense it still looks and sometimes acts like the GOP they knew.

But it is gone, and the time for a battle has passed.

I typed but then deleted a similarly themed post last night.

There is no Republican party anymore, there's the Trump party made up mostly of Republicans, along with White Supremacists, Christian Nationalists, Fascists, etc. Taking over the RNC like they have so that it will serve Trump's interests instead of the party's and down ballot Republican candidate interests is another major, but only the latest, step in the process.

The "moderate" Republicans missed their opportunity to at least attempt to put an end to it when they voted not to convict him of impeachment in the senate, because they lacked the courage, the spine.

China fungus? MAGA irony.

Republicans show strong insight for being deathly afraid of AOC, they should be:

how wonderful that “half” of this country is ok with, if not downright supporting, their candidate threatening political violence if he loses

Some people say that Republicans might break party tradition under Trump and have a platform to run on this year, including tax cuts for the rich, keeping minorities in their place, forced birth, and seizing control of women's bodies. Currently they're waiting for focus group results before deciding whether or not to formally promise to foment a "bloodbath" if they lose.

Stay tuned for the Coup, Volume 2.

Tarot readers think Trump dies or goes to jail. I am hoping his base turns on one another and tries to run from the police in a blizzard.

in what time frame?

because my money is on him dying too, sometime in the future, for another $50 I'll narrow down that time frame to the next 12-15 years.

President Biden is putting up these signs across the country next to projects that were funded by the Inflation Reduction Act - a law every single Republican voted against:

Before the election. West of the 71

You understand how foolish this is, right?

[Sparko]

It is foolish to try to incite violence for losing an election.

You get me, I like that about you.

Seriously, DC. I'm not sure that I understand how foolish this is. It seems to me that half of the country is ok with political violence to achieve their ends. I do look forward to you explaining what you really mean, however.

What I mean is that when the media takes a phrase from a Trump speech out of context and shits its pants about it, that only helps Trump. He says so many real horrifyingly stupid things that lose their potency/relevance when he has an inarguable case of gotcha bullshit to point to. He can -- and will -- say that they're ALL taken out of context.

You know that's bullshit. I know that's bullshit. But the people who are going to decide this election only see the media taking stuff out of context and playing gotcha.

It's sooooo self-defeatingly stoopid.
