I don’t know why that would be such a heavy lift…
The GOP wants to turn this country into an autocracy…and people are not motivated to vote.
That looks like near-psychotic reasoning to me.
It should be a 50-state blowout…or maybe people do not know what autocracy is.
ETA I know why people here are blase about this stuff. It has NEVER happened in this country before, the menace that Trumpism presents. @ralph_vonholst and I know you know it too.
Video at tweet and it’s pretty danged good.
A buffer is a part of the buffers-and-chain coupling system used on the railway systems of many countries, among them most of those in Europe, for attaching railway vehicles to one another
The prototype for future off hiway truck suspensions also too.
Looks like Beto has thrown … wait for it … a roundhouse!
You win but I’ll keep chugging along.
In case, America is dealing with two pandemics: a fading one, CV-19 and a ‘populist’ one that again reared up in '16.
I’m not sure even an alien invasion would suffice to unite us as some factions would welcome them, others would go take their guns and hide in the mountains, and still others would panic in a kind of every person for themselves reaction. Even a “friendly invasion” would induce chaos. We’ve unlearned our senses of community and cooperation and hole ourselves up in our cute, suburban, 3 bedroom homes with a view of our stuff.
The gen was +8 in 18 . That went well.
A little-known TRIUMPH has occurred in the Right Wing:
The Right Wing has trounced the dictum that once people gain rights it is very difficult to take them away.
The Right has made mincemeat of that dictum. And we continue to let it happen, because of slick hucksters on the screen, on the Web, at the rallies, in the propaganda mill which emanates non-stop…in the Normalization non-stop…
Non-Stop.
That’s remarkable
We can blame it all on Biden.

Trump tribalized us.
It would be hilarious if it were not so tragic.
It couldn’t happen to a more deserving governor… except maybe for DeSantis
Excerpt:
“Leaving him a way to retreat is one of the strategies, but it is almost unrealistic,” Budanov said when asked if Putin could end this war alive. “He is a war criminal for the whole world. This is his end, he drove himself into a dead end.”
“Don’t worry, Ukraine will win,” Budanov said, speaking during an interview The New Voice of Ukraine released Monday.
Once Putin is somehow offed—and Budanov does not offer up any potential details of how an ouster or assassinationmay happen—the future of Russia could go one of two paths. First, Russia could be divided into multiple parts, Budanov opined. The other option, however, could lead to the “relative preservation of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation when changing the country’s leadership,” he said.
I vote for option 1 so long as they agree to disarm all their nukes.
Not a lot of room to negotiate, but there it is.
Grifters complaining about being fleeced by grifters. How quaint is that?
I don’t think it was just Trump. Some certain words have been spoken that galvanized his supporters. One in particular. Guess which one.
“Putin’s end” doesn’t necessarily mean his death. End of him leading the country but without specifically saying how. OTOH, people in Russia do have a tendency to wander out of 8th story windows when they become too much of a nuisance.
