It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.
Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.
No one could have predicted…
Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.
Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.
I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.

My years-long effort to drive family and friends away has really paid off this year.
This fight is for everything.
I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.
Accountability, motherfuckers.

This is dead girl, live boy, a goat, two wetsuits and a dildo territory. oh, and pink furry handcuffs.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.
Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

The Senate, under Democratic leadership followed by a Democratic capacity to filibuster, has confirmed more than 140 of the President’s nominees to Federal courts, 10 to the Courts of Appeals.
It is unsurprising that the Democratic majority/minority in the Senate would pay more attention to nominees for higher positions than for lower ones, and therefore it makes sense that they would expend political capital on opposing the nominations of judges to the Appellate Courts rather than to the District Courts.
There is a fairly simple solution; the Dems have shown themselves perfectly willing to confirm a supermajority of the nominees which the President has put forward — why not just give up the power fantasies and work within the Constitutional system of checks and balances to find compromise candidates?
