Six percent seems winnable to me. Now that abortion is illegal, I hope that Hispanics will stop voting against their financial and deportation interests. I also hope that Republican women might have second thoughts about being forced to carry their rapists baby to term and will want access to IVF when they are making choices in the ballot booth. Religious minorities ought to be voting against enforced Christianity in public spaces such as schools.

Voter suppression is real though. Additionally, many people feel disenfranchised because of the perception of an insurmountable majority. Biden is not helping turnout with unconditional support for the genocidal Israeli administration either.

At what point do we cross the line into, “it was self defense” based merely on his speech? I feel threatened. My fear seems reasonable.

Unspoken subtext of “I’m the priest?” As if the dichotomy is you are either the priest or the church boy - there is no other option?

Better than what will actually happen- fail to use powerful new tool for presidential oppression, watch the other side use it, surprise pikachu, hand wringing, impotent mewling, get sent to death camps for failing to salute your neighborhood God emperor proxy fast enough.

Here me out: Supreme Court justices, Seal Team 6, official act. You don’t even have to pack the Court any more.

And yet 2023 was the new all time high for carbon emissions, at least until 2024 is in the book. We will not cut emissions until we run out of easily extractable carbon to emit. We’ll be building solar powered pumps for oil wells at some point for the otherwise negative EROI. As a species, we deserve the consequences of our behavior. Too bad they will be most severe for some of the least responsible first.

The critical question, apparently.

Gee, I wonder why Justice Thomas might be friendly towards the accused in a public corruption case. Maybe Harlan Crow encouraged him.

One of my cats has a much bigger murder section than the other. Her brain is probably about 30% murder and 30% food. Oddly, she is substantially thinner than the other one who is not very food or murder oriented. The porky one is mostly nap - probably 60%.

Coming soon to the U.S., we need the seven-day work week to outcompete our foreign rivals. Don’t you want to be rich? It will trickle down. No that is not Reagan’s ghost laughing out loud at how gullible his constituents are, why do you think that?
