Ah yes, because the last time we embedded social policy into a Constitutional amendment, it worked out so well. So very, very, well. /s

There is no such thing as a "moderate" Republican at this point (if there ever was). The difference today is that the shit they wanted to blow up GOT BLOWN UP and they're now covered with the stinking effluvia...and trying to say it smells like Chanel #5.

The zucchini won't babble aimlessly and with great force over problems that don't exist and final solutions that cancel civil rights, harm women, POC, children, immigrants, the environment, and the climate.

Sounds like a spam dunk to me, especially since zucchini can't be quoted.

Thus all the !!!*** BIDEN OLD !!!****!!! noise because otherwise we would be talking about their vicious attacks on women's health care.

They want our daughters to breed or die trying.

Preferably both. They look back with envy on the days of their grandfathers, when your wife died in childbirth and you could get a younger, more nubile wife without the stigma of divorce or the burden of alimony.

Should Wonkette try putting together an ad (free! practically) and then let Wonkette Nation (us!) raise the money to air those ads?

I love the sound of Rethug disarray.

Is that what that sound is? I thought it was a farting hippopotamus.

Every American citizen has the RIGHT to seek any medically approved treatment for any condition they may have. Politicians, preachers and hillbilly lawyers have no business in your Doctor's office with you

It's that GD simple.

It’s so quaint when either side says they’re going to amend the Constitution, as if that’s a thing that’s remotely possible anymore.

Rethugs like to talk about balanced budgets now and then, like that is ever going to happen again (at the federal level, anyway). But it's easy to fool the rubes.

Bill Clinton balanced the budget by 1) cutting the defense budget 2) cutting the tax burden from the poor with the Earned Income Tax Credit and 3) taxing the rich a reasonable amount.

Don't forget it. You would know more about his tax policy than his sex life if it were not in the interest of the ButHerEmails, BidenOld, and ClintonPenis owner class to ensure you forget.

The evil but innocuous-sounding ALEC has been working on this plan.

It actually hinges more on what happens in state legislatures than people realize

and they will CALL it "balanced budgets", but what they really mean is

"stealing public money for rich White people who don't believe anyone else 'deserves' to have it"

I don't count anything out. People would be well advised to do likewise

"Actually I really can't, how is this even close?"

After so many of us have tried and tried to get the word out for EIGHT YEARS, I can't help but wonder if the better question is

"How is it that people are still asking this question

??"

In a sane world Biden would be leading by 90%. Too bad we doin't live in a sane world.

We know we need to mount up for the fall! Project 2025 is all the marbles! And keep top eye on the Democratic traitors who know the ticket to relevance in the MSM is anti-Biden FUD.

REJECT PROJECT 2025: When pseudo-meritocracy ("I inherited this money all by myself!" "I worked for all this power I rightfully acquired as a self-proclaimed genius living entirely in a sealed vacuum who never once benefitted from the generous largess of the commons ever") empowers christofacist idolatry ("Of course Our Orange Felon is both Jesus and God! He's also Beelzebub, the Antichrist and Satan! Either way its a win: either we get to cruelly rule the most powerful nation on earth, smiting this and damning that, or we get raptured straight into our gated heaven estates in the sky!")

ALL these fuckwads need to be shoved back down deep into the Pandora's box from which they were allowed and encouraged (looking at you pundit class: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/06/biden-trump-race-rebecca-solnit) to emit from like the noxious toxic gas they are --with extreme prejudicial votes.

For our country's sake, for humanity's sake get involved NOW RIGHT NOW no matter how large or small and help make a difference! This is an all-hands-on-deck red alert DEFCON 1!

"Maybe the GOP should run a zucchini instead of Donald Trump and see if anyone notices the difference."

Too ethnic?

"They should run a zucchini instead of Trump and win." Oh, that's not what we wanted either, is it? Though a zucchini's season, too, is brief and soon over.

The convention is going to be Leni Riefenstahl on steroids. It's going to scare the living shit out of a lot of swing state voters.

I do not know how it can get any scarier than Kimberly Guilfoyle screaming "THE BEST IS YET TO COME ÜBER ALLES!!!!"

I encourage them to have on-camera fistfights.

Dem convention '68. Dan Rather got caught in the middle of a fistfight on the floor.

Yeah, and that worked great for the Democrats.

I think you’re correct: the Republican convention will be more like a CPAC convention. May they all devour one another.
