Reading about countries "accepting" "deported" people from the US, and I sincerely want a new Dem platform to be punishment and retribution for any person and nation involved in this human trafficking. Personal and national repercussions for this.

Good to wake up to a bit of good news for once. Not the news I hoped to hear, but it's a step in the right direction. One more degenerate gone from power and good riddance to bad trash.

Sorry... a 6-3 ruling on birthright citizenship, perhaps the most clearly written clause in the Constitution???? Impeachment is the moderate position for those 3 traitors. They should never be able to show their degenerate faces in public again without being called out for the traitors they are.

I don't live in CA, but I'm sorry... I can't believe I have to live in a world where fucking Spencer Pratt is a viable candidate for mayor. I mean, wtf people?? This is not a serious country in any way.

Thinking about that poll showing 39% of MAGA men think Trump would beat them in a fight, and I realize it's because they consume MAGA propaganda that portrays him as muscular, as if he's an action hero. And because they're insane they believe that represents him. Pathetic in every way LOL.

Funny how once in a while Trump will pretend to be a populist and say something like "retailers better not raise prices! I'll be very mad if they do!" yet when gas/oil companies ratchet up prices as a result of Trump's illegal war, it's radio silence.

Obama could do the funniest thing ever and take that dementia test that Trump continues to brag about. Do it live or at least put it up on Instagram or wherever. Do it, you coward.

I hate that in this world we are supposed to take seriously manifestly insane people who write stuff like the Palantir "manifesto". These ghouls shouldn't be managing so much as a banana stand, let alone guiding a fascist takeover. It's a huge societal failure that these people rise so high.

Proposed rule for all state bars to adopt: if you use AI in any court filing, and that filing includes a falsifiable claim, and especially if it includes citations that do not exist, that should be considered a de facto fraud on the court and subject to harsh discipline. "Sorry" shouldn't matter.

Donald Trump needs to be trussed like a pig and delivered to the Hague to face trial for crimes against humanity. He's engaged in a systematic course of international terrorism around the world. He's not just a traitor to the US, he's an existential threat to people *everywhere*.

Am I seeing a pro soccer team made up largely of Hispanic men, many non-US citizens, doing a photo op with Trump, and they're clapping like trained seals at his "jokes"? Is this real? Jesus Christ, people, have an ounce of respect. He hates you and doesn't think you're actually people!!

I just paid my federal taxes and I cannot stop thinking about the fucking traitors in this administration stealing our money and waging war on our cities. It galls me that my taxes pay for these traitors doing these things, and I hope every one of them spends their miserable lives in prison.

Honestly didn't expect to see today's discussion be "Tourette's sufferers should apologize every time they have a tic." Sorry, but that's an insane opinion. That's just insane.

So now Trump is just raising our taxes 10% because he's mad? Do I have that right? And the current Republican position is that unilaterally raising taxes is ok now? Good to know that the next Dem admin can simply raise taxes to pay for things like healthcare and public transportation.

Last summer on a Seattle ferry, I saw two Harley riders, one with open nazi tattoos and an88 ring, the other a grizzled old man with a peculiar sticker on his bike - two stick figures, one on its knees with the other pointing a gun at the first's head, with "how to deal with pedophiles" written...

Just thinking about how ICE is having female agents pretend to have car trouble to trick and kidnap decent people, and how we can never ever let any of these traitors reenter society again once we're through all this. Oh, you worked for ICE? Great, you should never have friends or a job again.

One thing I'd like to see a future reconstituted Dem supermajority do is go scorched earth on Trump's judicial nominees, clearing them out of courtrooms. Trump's every action should be considered illegitimate, part of an ongoing coup, and these judges are simply his courtiers. They need to go.

When we're through all this, every record of ICE/CBP/DHS/etc needs to be made public. Every. Single. Record. These degenerates need to be held accountable, and I hope they are hunted for literally the rest of their miserable lives. I want trials for 90 y/o traitors if that's what it takes.

HBO's been doing it for a while, and now I'm seeing it on Apple TV - ads before a show saying "after the episode listen to the podcast" and I don't even know why but this drives me NUTS. I just want to watch the show! If I want a podcast, I'll go find one. Just play the damn show!

Please lord, don't tease us. Let it happen and let it happen soon. The country needs something to bring us together in eternal celebration.

It's probably untenable that Trump deploys his fascist goons to city after city, and the only recourse seems to be individual appeals to SCOTUS, who seem to rule "well, ok, this time this deployment doesn't seem ok." HOW ABOUT A GENERAL RULE, YOU ASSHOLES?! Trump does the same thing every time...

Hope that the fucking traitor Trump's orders to attack Venezuela are archived because they should accompany him to his trip to the Hague when he's on trial for launching a war of aggression.

I just learned that it's a Seattle tradition to set off fireworks during/after Seahawks games. I hope every person setting off fireworks in a city blows their fucking hands off. You are degenerates who deserve nothing less. What the fuck is wrong with Americans?!

Honestly didn't expect today to be the day I'd read lots of "I've thought about it and I feel bad about Usha Vance." What is wrong with you people? She is not some innocent child, a victim. He's exactly the man she married and started a family with, and she's stood proudly beside him.

There has to be *some* Dem congressperson with access to the Epstein files, and if so, they need to release them. Johnson and every other Repub are clearly petrified of those files getting out and will do everything they can to prevent that, including destroying our Constitutional order. Be brave.

One of my favorite interactions on this site is when I make a comment like "I dream of a day when things are better", then some crazy person responds like "you're delusional!", with a following string of insults, then they block me. Badge of honor, man. LOL

Hey, remember up until literally yesterday when 9/11 was one of the holiest holidays in the country, where it was demanded that respect our first responders, including the very cops who terrorize, abuse, and kidnap people while wearing masks? Funny how now the day is about Charlie fuckin' Kirk LOL.

Whenever I see people on here like "I read 15 books this month", and I notice they have stuff like a job, writing articles or blog posts, etc., I always wonder if they actually read the book. How?! I'm not a slow reader, but how do these people find that time? Do they not sleep?

On the one hand I genuinely appreciate the informed commentary here from people with decades of relevant experience explaining the law, courts, etc. On the other hand... those rules *clearly* do. not. apply. anymore. All that matters is whether people in power will DO something to stop all this.

One of Joe Biden's biggest mistakes, aside from running again and not supporting Palestinians, was not releasing the Epstein files. Yeah, the press would have pilloried him. But it was obvious that Trump would at best bury them and at worst weaponize them. Just a generational failure.
