Does that include Jan 6 GOP terrorism? White bitch gun terrorism? Or is that just about black and brown terrorism?

Hopefully, that type of rhetoric leads Democrats into being able to GOTV next year for mid terms.

They aren't going to let Biden put anyone on the SCOTUS if they have any say in it, or even if they don't.

There are a number of things that should motivate democratic voters going into the midterms. Their probably will be a vacancy on the court. Abortion rights quite likely will have been drastically slashed (even more than already lol). I have no doubt there will be more serious instances of right wing terrorism and cop shootings of unarmed civilians. I'd like to think that will motivate people to vote but it seems like a lot of people are already quickly forgetting the shock and outrage they felt.

Americans (I don't know about elsewhere) have a preternatural capacity to make excuses for who they, for a wild variety of reasons, want to make excuses for. These reasons are rarely good. Presently, the Republican party finds itself well within the Venn of both the 'celebrity/star' and the 'too big/too entrenched to fail/be changed' excuses.

Who among us hasn't slipped and accidentally donated five and a half grand to a Holocaust denier?

I don't want to get my hopes up but if Abrams is giving her backing to Manchins compromise we might get something. Still a long way to go to believe it but it is a lot more than I was expecting.

Minority leader in name/Majority leader in American actuality McConnell says he doesn't like the Manchin compromise. If he hasn't grabbed his ankles yet, Manchin will by nightfall over West Virginia.

American Dental Association Pressured to Extract Itself From Paul Gosar

The controversial Republican congressman has exposed the cracks in the shiny facade of the 'Tooth Party' as the American Dental Association faces pressure to pull funding from their man in Washington.

Open your mouth and say "ah" if you're like me and had no idea American Dentist Association was a political lobby.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

everything is a political lobby. CXF is primarily a money laundering front for the admins lobby to ban reddit and make messageboards the official social media. It's a loop baby.

A parade of trolls.

Look no one is more upset than me that the first bisexual hipster MILF Senator is such a dolt.

I really hate myself for both finding her extremely attractive (looks aside she is absolute fuckin' garbage on anything that matters) and also that for some time now I've considered myself "beyond this" but the heart wants what it wants.

 

[Incandenza]

This isn't even "sexy older woman" vibes because she's only 2.5 years older than me which is reasonably within my age range.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

She is single rn IIRC if you want to make the lateral move of becoming an ARIZONA MAN!

 

[Incandenza]

I can make her see the light....

Sinema began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBT rights and opposing the war on terror.

Early on she was a woman after my heart....

brb. Trying to get in touch with Colbert's writers to see if I can sell them a "Senator Graham knows something contracting a transmitted disease" joke.

I bet he caught it on one of his many heterosexual trysts with a member of the opposite sex because he is straight.
