Just wait for the one obvious solution to the irreconcilability of "I want these migrants gone" and "I hate inflation".

Thank you Maine.
Susan Collins hopefully going to be a rational human in the senate.
Jared Golden wins a big seat in the house by less than 3000 votes ( ranked choice!! )

Today In: "It looked about the size of a watermelon as it left the pitcher's hand and then proceeded to hang there over the plate..."

That being said, I really, really hope you're right.

I like Susan Collins.
I know people got really upset about her confirmation of Kavanaugh but I don’t think there was enough there to stop him from being confirmed.

I hate the situation but as per her responsibility, I think she did fine there.

I’m sure she’s EXTREMELY disappointed, after voting for a known sexual predator. After she votes to confirm a known pedophile she’ll be even more SUPER DUPER EXTREMELY disappointed. It’s just steps in the (d)evolution of Susan Collins.

I heard a great term yesterday. The real reason why the election turned out the way it did: Trumpnesia!

“Known”.
Ok.
In hindsight that thing was just to avoid a conservative judge.
I get it.

Susan wasn’t wrong.

Meh.

Even if you want to disregard or discredit Blasey-Ford’s testimony altogether, there was still more than enough to justify a “no.”

I understand that Thomas’ corruption has blocked out the sun here, but his financial history was full of holes, for example.

We’ve also learned that the Trump administration essentially kneecapped the FBI “investigation” that got Collins to “yes.”

Trump would have been entitled to nominate a different candidate, anyway.

My worthless 2 cents....
As long as our country has gone/is going to shit, I say, let's either continue to take the 1st Amendment and allow our citizens to shove it up our country's ass or let's go ahead and take the 2nd Amendment to an extreme and allow people to shoot and kill these fuckers without any repercussions.
Being more sincere, I'll ask, what if anything is the solution to this?

I keep going back to the paradox of intolerance.

This country has crossed a line that will bring bloodshed and suffering to many.

I am pretty sure these types of assholes will come out of it just fine.

I think, in 50 or 100 years, the story here will be that we were on much thinner ice than we knew going into Covid, and Covid sending all of us literally to our corners caused the whole thing to fall through.

Guess this can go here.

Do more of this. It will guarantee at least four more years of no Dims in the White House.

I mean, maybe, but this sure seems like a pretty useless tweet from a pretty random useless person on X?
No?

…a pretty useless tweet from a pretty random useless person…

characterizes the vast majority of content

[jfish26]

Can’t really disagree (with either of you).

I think the subject is super important to our society and culture (and obviously our politics), though. And I think there is a point in those useless tweets.
