Been perusing late 17th and early 18th century texts, as one is wont to do, when I came across this pronoun rant.

Listen, I hate telling people what to do but stop fucking recording yourself giving money to houseless people. If you need the clap on the back for motivation just tell people about it.

One of the weirdest things in the US is that Supreme Court Justices only need 51 of 100 Senate votes to be put into a lifetime position — earned or not — but officers in the military need 100 of 100 votes to get a promotion that they earned and one nut job senator can prevent the promotion. That's a broken rule that should be changed.

Here’s what must be hammered home: Trump cannot be re-elected if you want the United States to be a place where elections decide outcomes, where voting rights matter, and where politicians don’t baselessly prosecute their adversaries.

Via Angry Staffer:

By my count, the GOP has tried to reduce the salary of:

- the first Black SecDef (Austin)
- the first Black LGBT Press Sec (KJP)
- the first Senate-confirmed openly gay Cabinet member (Pete)
- the first refugee/Latin American to lead DHS (Mayorkas)

Sounds about white.

In 1979, when this statement was released as part of a report from the President's Council on Environmental Quality, the CO2 level in the atmosphere was 337 ppm. It's now over 420 ppm.

“The CO2 problem is one of the most important contemporary environmental problems, is a direct product of industrialization, threatens the stability of climates worldwide and therefore the stability of all nations.”

Some people are too dumb to live and Elon Musk has figured out how to take advantage of that.

"LRRR, THE RULER OF OMICRON PERSEI 8, IS TERRORIZING THE SUBURBS AND PUNCHING STRANGERS IN THE CROTCH. HERE'S WHY THAT'S BAD NEWS FOR JOE BIDEN."

Ivanka Trump is a lot younger than President Biden & she can’t recall anything.

Yesterday in Ohio

A constitutional amendment establishing the right to abortion access passed 55.5% to 44.5%.

Recreational Marijuana passed by 56% to 44%

An overwhelming victory.

Within hours, top republicans stated they will go against the will of the people and undermine these new rights

Independents and moderates: when you vote Republican you vote against democracy https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/will-of-the-voters-republicans-in-ohio-pledge-to-push-back-on-abortion-marijuana/ar-AA1jALdm

Reminder that no journalist is required to treat something that is obviously NOT an investigation as an investigation.

But hey, the sirens are a great tell.

Guess I'll reup for the boys excited about the subpoena: The GOP hasn't funded government and instead they're chasing Hunter Biden dick pics.

It is 100% pathological. https://www.emptywheel.net/2023/11/08/jim-jordan-sniffs-dick-pics-while-rome-burns/

After he lost the Republican nomination in the run-up to the 1912 election, his Bull Moose party's platform was

"to dissolve the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day". Proposals on the platform included restrictions on campaign finance contributions, a reduction of the tariff and the establishment of a social insurance system, an eight-hour workday and women's suffrage.

Problems with Presley Dem loss in Mississippi: At least NINE Hinds County polls (which includes nearly 83%-Black Capital Jackson) ran out of ballots with thousands waiting to vote, and a circuit judge denied a request to keep polls open until 9 pm.

Made Sure they didn't have battlots to vote.

That's how maga Republicans do it.

Take away your right to vote. Ooopsie.

Biden should say it loud; "Re-elect me with one more senator and the House, and I’ll sign a bill to codify Roe in January 2025."

Say it over and over.

It's fascinating to see how little work it takes to make money if you already have it.
