This wouldn't have happened if the nice applehead doll lady had won.
This actually might just be defamation. Abdul El-Sayed might have a legitimate defamation case against his Republican opponent.
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…
Fifth person Schumer asked was gonna be Riley Gaines.
NOTE: Schumer recruited Stevens specifically because McMorrow publicly declared she would not support him for Senate caucus leader. Stevens was the fourth person he asked.
I think we need to brace ourselves for a new and more extreme outbreak of racism and Islamophobic slurs from Trump and the GOP as they head into a Fall election in which their prospects are deservedly grim. Hate is their stock-in-trade and they'll be slinging it big time.
Republicans didn’t take long to get the open bigotry going
Last night a lot of irrational rage was directed at this Canadian dude dorian for writing a cranky post following a shitty flight experience. "So this is basically one of the entry points to becoming a reactionary." This place is really weird sometimes.
before i go to bed though i feel obligated to mock this idiot
Just read: "AIPAC emphatically sucks. Why can't people just criticize it for sucking?" Ummm, isn't that what everyone's been doing?

This is the author's evidence of "the left" hiding "positive" things that Trump has done -- the networks refusing to air a speech in which he spread malicious lies about our democratic institutions. Doesn't name a *single* actual good thing Trump has supposedly done that's been hidden from people.
Opinion: The most powerful sword the left wields against Trump and is omission. Selective silence. Hide the positives, and the American people never hear them.
The “get politics out of sports” crowd is sure having a normal one
I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.
Riley Gaines rightfully attaining filth place once again. Just an absolute monster.

Herman Cain's last post before he died of ... wait for it ... COVID! The GOP is rewriting history. Covid tore through the world like a killing machine. 1.2 million Americans died. Stop pretending Dr. Fauci did anything other than his best to keep people alive. And release the Epstein Files!
Am told at the blue ash Ohio ICE office today that a bunch of springfield Haitians were told to just “check in” at are now having ankle monitors put on them, which, uh….. they’re not supposed to be fucking doing that
Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
People ask- "But John, why have you refused to subject yourself to airline travel for close to 20 years?" Because people like this are never in the fucking passenger seat of my car.

I blocked the "author" lady doing all the AI Peanuts cartoons, but now I kinda miss her so I've started doing my own Peanuts cartoons - but without AI.

This was posted a while ago but hats off to political whiz kid James Carville for coming up with "crotch streaming." What an angle!
LP friend James Carville on why the work of Lincoln Project is essential, now more than ever:
"We're focused on affordability" okay but like how? "By focusing on it"
