I’m fairly certain that OH Secretary of State Frank LaRose is pissng himself in rage as well

It rankles me to see signs at the County Board of Elections touting Ohio’s commitment to protecting democracy, with his name underneath each lying blurb

Which, of all people, Thomas would gleefully allow

On the contrary, they don’t have any cognitive dissonance, that’s why they’re not bothered—dissonance suggests they feel discomfort in holding their opposing views

They’re just really good at doublethink

Don’t forget the abortion bans and the push from people like Elon Musk to have more children (with no financial incentive to do so, of course)

When I was little, I mixed up the words “president” and “Reagan”, thinking the latter was the title. I felt sorta vindicated with he hero worship the man got in the neocon and tea party years.

But now, even though it should be an epithet akin to “Benedict Arnold” or “Quisling”, I would not be surprised if “Trump” became a sort of title similar to “Caesar” and its variants.

He wasn’t even fit for KP duty in the marines, so yeah, he’ll be the guy who replaces Ted Cruz

So does this mean we can charge people who collaborate with Putin with treason, or does it require us to be at war with the Russian Federation?

He not the root, he’s just another leaf on the gympie gympie that the right has become over the last fifty years. The FBI itself is another part of it.

That’s what makes the AI memes that one of his lackeys posts every day on twitter all the more hilarious. Weird uncanny valley images of him standing triumphant on Mars like a new Roman emperor, in a city he built with his own hands, toiling with his own blood and sweat, with claims that this will all become reality in a mere couple of decades, within our lifetimes. His response to these wild delusions? A laconic, lackadaisical “Yeah”

Lmao. Hmbol, even.
