Why purist leftists piss me off: The house is on fire; join the bucket brigade. Where were those buckets made? House is on fire. Who's paying the mortgage on the house? People, pets are endangered. Are they shelter pets? It's a 10-alarm now. Did the owners vote center-left? Too late, now, thanks.

I'm not a Michigander, and wasn't taking a strong side either way, but this result speaks to impressive turnout and enthusiasm. Job One is to defeat the Republicans, and Stevens will throw support to El-Sayed. I hope this translates into a win in November.
Mallory McMorrow immediately endorses: “Congratulations to Abdul El-Sayed for winning the Democratic primary to become our nominee to be Michigan’s next US Senator. I’m proud to give Abdul my full endorsement and support as we head to November together as a unified party”
Paxton's campaign consultants: "We think it's time you started using the 'a' word against Talarico in this race." "Asshole?" "No, affordability." 😄😆😂🤣

This fucking misogynistic asshole treats Epstein survivors like shit, and he's determined to treat all women like shit. Little sycophantic lapdog told the truth only once: he IS Trump's lawyer. We've got to get rid of all these rotten "men."

I wonder who promised him a lobbying job. The asshole put on a "rebel" mask for a minute, then settled back onto his jerk-face Republican ways. No different from Collins. #FuckCornyn
John Cornyn, a member of the majority party, is lying to all of us.
Cornyn: Meet with Epstein victims or else. Blanche: OK, I met with those whiny bitches, happy now? Cornyn: No, rescind the slush fund deal in writing. Blanche: Okay, I wrote a document that sounds good but is actually total BS. Happy now? Tillis: Deal. You got our vote. #FuckCornyn #FuckTillis
We live in a country where people have to decide whether violence against women and children is a bad thing, a "character flaw," like it's a real head-scratcher to determine who to vote for. As though other factors can mitigate that.
Hey, they're forgetting to give Don Snoreleone a cut! He ain't gonna like that! Maybe they're also planning to give him a shiny Hormuz Peace Prize instead to placate him.
Great job all around. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/u...
Interesting development. Also, re Papa Bernie (quoting article): Asked by reporters on Monday why he had stayed quiet for so long, Sen. Moreno replied: “You know, I hope you never have to go through a situation like this and you wouldn’t ask that kind of f—–g question.” Temper. No excuses, Pops.

Very cool we have an 80 year old president who proudly displays his ability to discern reality from the Oval Office, a condition worsened by a bubble of sycophants and his struggles with AI
Blanche is a fuckin' snake, and Cornyn and Tillis are happy to swallow this horseshit for show when it accomplishes nothing. BTW they're screwing over the Epstein survivors because they never really mattered to begin with. Drop dead, all of you. You're far from principled heroes; never changed.

Trump has declared his presidency invalid, as he stated that he's not the President of these entire United States; only the red ones. This is more than enough for which to impeach him, let alone all the other shit he's guilty of.
Opinion | Trump’s grip on federal spending is getting dangerously tight
The White House has blatantly denied federal funds to Democratic-led states and wants even more power to deny billions in federal grants to political opponents.

Miller channels Trump because they're both violent, misogynistic psychopaths.
The points Miller makes in his video are common from abusers. He recorded her. He calls her crazy. He says she was nice to him. He says she never went to a doctor. Anyone who is a survivor of DV has heard all of it.
Max Miller's angry statement of denial is so freakin' Trumpian. He hasn't been convicted--yet--but maybe he will be, now that Crappy Father of the Year Moreno has finally denounced him?
