A New Politics Thread

Oh he's not pleased, I'm sure.

Hard to think of something that has demonstrated how nearly useless Twitter has become then this news event. Basically had no idea what was going on/what sources to trust

[Rome]

"Cis" and "Cisgender" are now considered slurs on Twitter.  But if you're feeling frisky and want to drop some N-bombs, you're just fine there.  Free speech and shtein.

Every one of those fargfaces have been fully vaccinated including Kennedy. 

The whole "I'm just asking questions" thing is really tiresome too.

I see the Supreme Court continues to launch us back into the stone ages.

Dems have to win and expand the court

[Diomedes]

I have a hard time buying the idea that "packing the court" would find much support in America.  It'll be very easy to run against.

Whether it's a legit option the GOP likely, especially after these rollbacks, will use it as a rallying cry for the base.

We can only hope that it motivates the dem voters to get out in droves.

Bigger things happening today with SCOTUS but uhhh Josh Shapiro sucks I guess

[Rome]

I guess everyone who didn't vote for Hillary probably learned their lesson about sitting out elections, huh?

Nah. 

Good job, Merkkka!

[General_Failure]

Dude, her emails though.

This country is turbofarged like it's never been before. Just the supreme court verdicts from this week would have been a completely failure of a full presidential term. It's going to get worse, and then worse, and even worse, and then we get another republican president that'll make us all long back fondly on these good old days.

[PhillyPhreak54]

The Supremes continue to bathe themselves in glory.

The case of the baker refusing to bake for the gays - it's come out the person cited in the suit says he wasn't involved.

Scandalous.

How pissed off must Erdogan be?  Finally relents on his extortionary block of Sweden into Ukraine NATO, timed for the start of the NATO talks, looks set to be the hero of the hour for his belated embrace of reason....and he gets entirely upstaged by Zelensky.  farger was planning on a week's worth of positive press, applause and thanks from the rest of NATO....and is promptly forgotten. 

Got his F-16s though, right?

[Diomedes]

Can any of you three fools offer the name of a conservative columnist whose writing is worth reading?

I'm struggling to find a counter-point to the stuff I normally read.  Most of what I find is so poorly written, or unimaginatively argued, that it's just a waste of time.  There have to be some decent right-of-center editorialists, no?

[PhillyPhreak54]

Wish I could but nope I don't know of anyone. It's either uneducated tripe or just full flown MAGA or Q stuff.
