The good thing is that most corporations don’t care about the buying habits and loyalty of retirees, which is a large part of the GOP base.
 
Hard to believe that guy is responsible for one of the most dangerous cults in American history.
 
I will agree to corporations staying out of politics if we can have a firm ban on lobbying, extremely tight restrictions on congresspeople profiting from their names post-service, and term limits. You know, the sort of stuff that would knock a senator’s corporate sized ego.
 
Politics would change so much for the better if $ was removed from it.

Until then have to navigate the game a bit. Not sure Mitch's threats will work
 
NY Times says he was seeking blanket pardons from Trump. No sufficient words for how repulsive he is.

When Florida legislators passed a bill aimed at preventing people from sharing sexually explicit photos of their ex-partners online, then-state Rep. Matt Gaetz cast one of just two House votes against it.

Six years later, with the now-congressman accused of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl and sharing photographs of nude women with fellow lawmakers, the sponsor of the Florida legislation says Gaetz opposed it because he believed recipients of such images could use them however they wanted.
 
Because nothing says "I'm innocent!" like asking for a pardon!

Agreed.

Making good on an earlier threat, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Thursday that the state has filed a lawsuit against the federal government demanding that cruises be allowed to resume from the United States immediately.

“We don’t believe the federal government has the right to mothball a major industry for over a year based on very little evidence and very little data,” DeSantis said in a news conference at Miami’s seaport. “I think we have a good chance for success.”

The lawsuit against the Biden administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls the agency’s actions “arbitrary and capricious” and asks the court to “set aside the CDC’s unlawful actions and hold that cruises should be allowed to operate with reasonable safety protocols.”
 
Let them resume for fully vaccinated individuals only. Show your card or stay home.

Maybe it would convince some old folks to ignore Facebook for a second and get their shots.

Yesterday Gaetz spoke to some women's group in FL. Women for America or whatever it's called. It's the one that helped organize the pre insurrection rally.

He had his fiance with him. He actually has a fiance.
 
Jim Jordan went after Dr. Fauci today over muh freedom.

Maxine Waters told Jordan "You need to respect the chair and shut your mouth"☺

Why is this so hard for us to figure out?

Get your shot and you get to do things. Don't get it? You can't (for now, at least).

This should be easy.

Buffalo is doing it with their sportball teams. If Buffalo can figure it out, anybody can.

We’ve known the GQP and it’s base are delusional but it’s getting to the point where they have to be or already are the biggest threat to the survival of a democratic country and possibly world peace too.

We fall down this authoritarian hole and it’ll take generations and lots of bloodshed to come back from. Assuming we do since we saw what kinda response the GOP has to natural disasters
 
Republicans are down to like 25% of Americans. So 48% of 25% is a loud but insignificant part of the population.

What we need to do is simply stop making them seem more important than they are. Fuck em.

Also my mental health has much improved now that I don't need to give a shit what anyone named Trump says or thinks.

The border is a complete disaster, and “oh what the COVID numbers must be there”, because you know, everyone’s dying, because of the weak Democratic leadership, the Russians and Iranians are sabre rattling again, gas prices continue to spike, people are claiming that minorities are too stupid to get to the BMV and get an ID, the mob continues to breathlessly and brainlessly follow Fauci who can never get his facts straight and decide when we will be “free again”. Basically, Democrats in leadership, always have to be in crisis mode so that everyone feels dependent on the government.

“But...but.....we don’t get mean tweets from Trump anymore!”

Enjoy your tax increases. Not losing anymore sleep over the “kids in cages” huh?

Russians and Iranians are saber rattling because they enjoy reaping chaos in our country and that’s easiest with morons like you in it trying to elect a used car salesman as president.

Yawn.
 
it really must be mentally exhausting to be fake-outraged at everything all the time.

Not fake outraged all the time, just when his team isn't in power.

When they are, the exhausting part is having to pretend everything is fine.
