And meanwhile in Virginia, the Commonwealth Supreme Court nullified the redistricting plan passed by a majority. As for the red states, these assholes think all these games are going to stop them from getting their asses kicked in November. They won't.
I've spent the last three weeks driving from Palm Springs to Charlotte and back, every last one a them plantations should be torn down brick by brick and replaced with affordable housing. I'm increasingly of the opinion that Lincoln blew it, he should've let the south go. Without the subsidies of blue states and cities it would have bankrupted itself out of existence by now. The rural poverty is grinding.
Oh Evan. I'm so sorry. Beginnings, man. We're counting on you to keep us informed, especially if we outlanders can help to turn the tide.
Ketanji Brown Jackson spoke for all of us here. Samuel Alito can sit his fatuous ass on a sharpened dildo. The Traitor John Roberts and the other corrupt assholes on the SCOTUS can join him. And then get impeached.
PI've lived in gerry-the-hell-mandered WI for the past 15 years, and let me tell you, it saps the will out of voters before they start getting really angry. You watch a conservative majority going out of their way to stick it to the cities, with virtually no constraints (nice local ordinances you used to have reining in landlords, but we're landlords, so you now can't exceed state regulations, and yes, we're still the Party of Local Control, if it's GOP control). They kept our reps out of everything they could, legally, and jammed thru policies to hurt us, then gloated. It took some years before Madison and Mikwaukee realized that turnout was our best weapon, and we're slowly getting our govt back to the purple that defines this state. Why the GOP hasn't paid more of a price for this anti-democracy will always haunt me, and it's changed my views of my state and our country.
where are you now? i did WI poll watching this primary (chi girl - came up to racine - gorgeous!) and MAN the time's they seem to be a changing up nort!
Is that "expert" named Russell Vought? I sincerely hope Russell lives the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, afraid that someone might kill him at any moment.
Deputy Associate Administrator Keith Turi is on his way out of the agency, according to a source with direct knowledge. Turi oversees FEMA’s response, recovery, logistics and field operations nationwide and was a public face and behind-the-scenes player for the agency’s response to Hurricane Helene and other major storms.
OT but two notifications just popped up on my phone. The first, from my financial advisor, said "Inflation is heating up. Is the job market cooling?" The second, from the NOLA newspaper, announced "Gas prices are over $4 across the state, putting summer travel plans into question."

"It’s like if Birth Of A Nation was overdubbed with nothing but white nationalist shrieking."
Why overdub when it already is nothing but white nationalist shrieking?
Ta, Evan. May this bite them in the ass sooner rather than later.
So instead of one Democratic congressman representing Memphis, now there will be three. Got it.
We here in Austin TX only wish it worked that way.

To be fair the Republi-Nazi aren't racists. They hate everyone equally. Even if it's mostly brown people.
RepubliKKKans fucking suck.
"I've said many times that "I love Black people?" Isn't love enough, do you Black people really need to vote as well? "
And do they really need food stamps and WIC? Because they're "Eating the cats!"
And if it's a Maine Coon that should last them for months!
Mostly fur.
And Teh Hispanics weren't satisfied with "The best taco bowls are made at Trump Tower" either. Huh. Ingrates.
Jump on in here, Uncle Triggs.
Brane Klezmer Time!! Simba does not get paid by Kellogg's Crackers or whatever.

He would take compensation from oyster crackers, tho.
I've never introduced him to such crackers. But now I want some clam chowder and oyster crackers!!
Up here we do Ivar’s.
Those crackers (the edible ones, I mean - not your neighbors) need some spicy nacho squirt cheese.
That's good on Fritos. That is if you have some Negra Modelo to go with it.
Sounds like pretty much every night at my place.
Be sure to take your fiber.
ACKSHUALLY...The squirt cheese has so much oil for that consistency? You're covered. <looks askance at 32oz tub of Benefiber>
Benefiber sounds like an ISP.
I sense that is not his preferred celebrity endorsement gig.
Somebody offered him enough for him to say, "Fuck it! Get on with it, then."
I feel like I would not be welcome in Simba’s club.
Just bring tacos.
I love tacos!
aaaaand by the time you finish reading this non-comment
you will be within twenty four short hours of yrrrr Hooperdronk

smoking lamp, it is lit!
I saw video of some dumbass R state legislator walking around wearing a big Trump flag like a cape.
That guy is...SUPERKKKLAN!

So tfg's 'expert' panel wants him to cut fema's budget in half. Good luck red state hurricane victims!
Ex-Gov Redvest (VA) was on that panel. Can't stop licking Trump's boots.
Tornadoes cut through Mississippi last night. I imagine the "experts" don't care. Do u?
They'll just blame Obama and Biden.
Is that "expert" named Russell Vought? I sincerely hope Russell lives the rest of his life looking over his shoulder, afraid that someone might kill him at any moment.

Dear Arkansas,
You're welcome in advance for the waterfront property. You'll get used to the smell of rotting shellfish and petrochemicals eventually.
Kisses,

Huh. It's almost like shit's going sideways.
That's what you get when Republicans are in control of the House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court.
And the press.
We got a nationwide alert from the Mexican government that scared the shit out of us yesterday.
Oh so NOW they want to pay for the wall?
Can they do the ballroom too?
Threat level orange.
If people who have no reason to fight are at each others’ throats, a narcissist is in the mix.
