Do we really need to speculate on how the Supreme Corrupt Six will “rule” on the mail ballots thing?

Jen Is Not It's avatar

their power is up if the Dems win too.

I'm half expecting them to claim that mail in voting is not in the constitution so therefore no one has a right to it and the feds can do what they want

I really don't understand what all the fuss about the new map is about, aside maybe from Natalie's questionable cartography skills.

Anyone who says they didn't play Risk as a kid with exactly the same intentions is a liar.

Jen Is Not It's avatar

I never played risk at all. Straight up truth

Did play civilization once or twice. Same thing, right?

Even more shit about the physical impossibility of trying to comply with the unconstitutional craziness they’re trying to pull with seizing all the mail ballots.

Think that is a feature, not a bug for TrumpCo.

Their ONLY way to keep power is to cheat, disenfranchise, even murder people like say citizens who happen to be brown but they sure look ill-eagle. They will do all of those things. The press meanwhile will be all wow Dems just don't reach the common man.

Funny how the press never cares about the common woman. Correction: the press never claims to care about the common woman. They claim to care about the common man, but don't care about them either.

They care so much about the common man they only ever interview upper middle class fuckers with 80k trucks and "businesses" to run

Trying to decide whether to tell the spouse about the parboiled earwig I found smooshed inside the French press when I went to clean it this morning, or should I just keep that episode of domestic horror to myself.

Would you want to know?

Jen Is Not It's avatar

I mean, would it make him more inclined to clean it more often?

Ellen_D, domestic terrorist's avatar

Perhaps!

But I'm thinking more along the lines of somes serious pest control measures. There's a bag if diatomaceous earth somewhere in the garage...

The denying survivors’ benefits because “not a war”; we’re more like Russia every day.

Patients sued by Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas were routinely charged 18 percent interest, The Times found. Some had bank accounts garnished.

...Mr. Marshall, a Republican who is seeking re-election this fall, filed lawsuits against more than 700 patients with outstanding bills during his decades-long career as an obstetrician-gynecologist, according to a New York Times analysis of Kansas court records.

Patients were arrested in 81 of those cases for missing court dates, the record show. In an additional 13 lawsuits, Mr. Marshall’s lawyers sought warrants but it is unclear whether an arrest occurred.

They also garnished patients’ paychecks and bank accounts. They routinely charged patients an 18 percent annual interest rate.

The unpaid bills ranged from several thousand dollars to as little as $101. About half the lawsuits were filed under Mr. Marshall’s name and the rest by Heartland Regional OBGYN, the medical practice he solely owned from 1998 to 2012 and then co-owned with another doctor from 2013 to 2019...

Mr. Marshall spent more than 25 years practicing obstetrics before running for Congress in 2016. In campaign materials, he frequently trumpeted his work delivering babies and the financial success of his medical practice. Both his Senate and his campaign websites refer to him as “Doc Marshall.”

“For 5,000 Kansans, life began here, in the trusted hands of Dr. Marshall,” an ad during his 2020 campaign for Senate said, showing the senator holding two newborns...

I've never had a doctor charge me interest. What even is that? Is that a Kansas thing?

Poor tax

PBS did an entire thing on the business of the poor, way back in the day. I made myself watch it. It was stomach churning

Doc Holliday is no longer the worst medic in Kansas Territory history.

He also literally called the troops killed in the Iran War so far “small potatoes.” Everybody’s fine with this, right? (AP) Like this lady who apparently is being kept from some survivors’ benefits because her husband was killed in “not a war.”

That explains why they downgraded those guys to not killed "in war"

Also, imagine the Fox Noise freak out if a Democratic president said anything even REMOTELY close to that.

Imagine the press fucking freaking out. Even if it was taken out of context. And yet instead we got the press bending over backward to excuse it.

Why is the NYT against Mamdani? They got their marching orders.

Jen Is Not It's avatar

Edit: I am imagining Biden going "Some people might call the death of these soldiers is "small potatoes", but...."

And the right wing blaring headlines, soon followed in WaPo, NYT and CBS, going "Biden said the death of these soldiers is "small potatoes"!!!!!!!"

Easy to imagine Trump trying to change the names of NM’s cities to “Holy Faith” and “The Crosses” and “The Poplars.”

Hey there, Google and Apple! When Dipshit wants to name states, bodies of water, mountains, or even countries "Trump" after himself, you gonna kiss his ass, like you have when he "renames" stuff "America?" The answer is "Yes!"
