There's literally no normal Republicans left. They're all angry, racist, and dumb. God help this country if Trump gets ahold of it again.

This country just keeps getting dumber.

I suspect the smart ones have been watching Singapore.

Didn't Newt Gingrich say it would be slander to quote him? My memory is not crystal clear and Google isn't backing me up.

Quite a few trans activists I've known are certain that anti-trans positions are misogyny.

It's the case with the right as a whole. I've seen religious types set standards that they claim their opposition would follow without realizing that it would apply equally to them and would absolutely destroy them if it is.

A good example of this is the "religious freedumb" move of theirs where, if truly enacted, would require not just Christian prayer sessions in schools, but also prayer sessions from every other religion, Islam, Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism, you name it.

This is exactly what the religious right do NOT ant as it is only their OWN religion is the true one and the rest are all pagan heresies. But being them, they simply see "religious freedumb" as benefiting them and jump for it without considering how it affects anyone else or how it negatively affects them too.

There's full nerdish details at fas.org or at least there used to be.

Didn't I read that they were forecast to have a 50 50 chance of surviving?

This article uses a comparison that is slanderous to Howdy Doody. I DEMAND a retraction, an apology, and cookies! Ore I will SUE!

They also think that if they say the standard is actual malice, that will somehow magic Dominion into being a public figure.

this is a flaw that we should be exploiting at every opportunity - let them pass those laws and then we hold their feet to the fire - only let them repeal not refine

Who are the 'smart ones' again?

There are other ways to look at this than just a fait accompli that we will have to live with for generations. Alito and Thomas are getting old. They're at the end of their careers. We don't have to have 40 or 50 years of this imbalance.

Also, too, the Biden administration has appointed more federal judges in the first two years of his administration than Trump did in his four, and that's all Mitch did after he got the tax cut through.

Lawsuit away, assholes. Depositions will be lit. On record, under oath. None of this, "I didn't say I wanted to eradicate transgenders, I said I wanted to eradicate transgenderism."

Nail them to the wall when they aren't playing to the cheap seats.
