"A lot of that effort has already taken hold, to be sure. Many People Are Saying that voter suppression is how That Man won again, and you betcha Mitchell’s team of QAnon loons, Fox grandpas, incels, and rabid racists are already hard at work making their purge lists for the midterms."
You get the feeling that if our mainstream media hadn't been so eager to declare "decisive" what ended up being a squeaker of a win, we might actually be having a national conversation about this.
These Maga fuckers who think the media are their enemies should quit whining, and/or the media should actually give them something to complain about.
I still don’t see how republicans think “we don’t want your votes to count” is a winning strategy for them, but it is why we need to get democratic voters out in force in 2026 and 2028. They can’t steal it if it isn’t close.
My son is on the Griffin list, and his registration -- confirmed by our county board of elections -- didn't have anything missing. Also, fuck Griffin right in his ear.
OT: Trump doesn’t use racial slurs in public, so his racism is not absolutely naked. 99 percent, like it’s wearing a fig leaf that’s dried and crumbling. If someone told him to his face that his policies are racist, he would frantically deny it even though he’s fooling no one.
I have given up hope of any of them ever seeing consequences. An insurrectionist’s family just got a big settlement from the government for attacking the Capitol to overturn the 2020 election.
"For those military voters, Griffin didn’t challenge all of them, just ones in four of the most Democratic counties. "
If only there had been a Supreme Court Case in, say, the year 2000, that already made it clear that that the Equal Protection Clause guarantees to individuals that their ballots cannot be devalued by "later arbitrary and disparate treatment."
Oh, wait, we were talking military people. MAGA hates those losers. I'm surprise they are even allowed to vote unless they can show they have marched in a parade celebrating dear leaders descent from heaven.
Rock ribbed capitalists like Obama and Biden would never say that. They are too busy making sure people are working and using their wages to feed, clothe and house the future consumers of capitalism's ever expanding banquet of things and stuff and notions.
Only an ardent COMMUNIST would dare say such a thing. Probably a COMMUNIST with a five year plan to collectivize the farmers so they quit making trouble; press gang surplus labor into government managed industrial plants; create famines to "pacify" troublesome dissent and finally have gigantic military parades to demonstrate to the enemies of COMMUNISM that COMMUNISM IS INEVITABLE.
Meanwhile over in the Kremlin they are popping the corks off the champagne bottles that Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev all squirreled away for future generations.
Silly libs! Just because we get more votes doesn't mean we win!
Ta, Marcie. It's way past time this election is certified, and MAGAts are all certifiable.

Neither of these things is actually going to happen, of course.

OT: SC allowing ban on trans servicemembers to take effect. ☹️
Not surprising a Carney would know how to handle a clown . . .
Nothing says functioning Democracy like denying people the right to vote.
OT:
I start my volunteering at 11:00 tomorrow.
I am setting my alarm for 10:00 in the morning.
A budgie needs to be on time! :)
Thank you VERY much, and please let us know how it goes.
I will. :)
I'm all nervous, and I'm sure it will have been for no reason.
I look forward to making that post after I get back.

Southern Strategy 101
Saying “The Blacks” and “Blacks for Trump” kind of tips his hand.
“Blacks for Trump. It’s got a ring to it. Blacks for Trump. The Blacks for TRUMP! But as far as the rest of The Blacks go….”
Somebody needs to record him in secret and then release that to the public.
I'm sure there are many recordings.
Does anyone still have the sounds from the taping of "The Apprentice"?
I've read that Mark Burnett has all that on lockdown.
Fuck Mark Burnett into the sun.
Please, Mr. Burnett, bless the public with this knowledge.
Post it on 270 sites at once.
It’s not enough to win small victories like this. There has to be consequences or they will keep trying until they succeed in overthrowing democracy.
I have given up hope of any of them ever seeing consequences. An insurrectionist’s family just got a big settlement from the government for attacking the Capitol to overturn the 2020 election.
Can't "like"--it sucks.

They hate democracy.
Because it requires them to either cheat or change. And they'll never change.
Yep.
They don't want any people to have a chance or to start to get together.
Cutting off resources for the poor is the first sign of doom.
"You don't have to shop."
Now imagine the response if Biden or Bamz said that.

"How to Conquer America Without Firing a Shot"
'First, find a megalomaniac who can be blackmailed.'
Literally.
It's no "Thousand Points of Light" but I'll take it.
A candle in the wind?
Let us hope that the rains, do not, in fact, set in.
Pretty soon the whole metaphorical dodge of saying "with votes" will no longer be available.
You'll know when that happens when you go for a walk and all you see in every direction are columns of smoke as the entire world starts to burn.
"Maybe they're all choosing new popes."
Gunfire in the quiet of the evening.
A drone you will not see.
