Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents could be deployed “if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant.” Let me guess, they’re going to call in threats themselves and go intimidate people. They’re making mail-in voting unreliable and in-person voting dangerous.

I’m old enough to remember politicians of both parties doing backflips to defend South Africa’s apartheid government, too. Old habits die hard, I guess.

BREAKING: Ed Markey has won the Massachusetts Senate primary with just 5% reporting.

So Trump’s DOJ either lied to SCOTUS or they knew from the jump that Trump was moving forward and helped his scheme progress. Either way, there needs to be resignations for one of these institutions AND the Post Office. Ain’t it grand that Biden didn’t fire DeJoy?

Brief?! I thought you had just told a hilarious joke because of all people, Joni Mitchell surely wouldn’t be so tone-deaf, right? Haw haw! But then I thought “Ew. Did she go to a party in Blackface like Ted Danson or something?” So I made the mistake of Googling it, and WTF, the Boomer entitlement!

“Oh no, SCOTUS says that we MUST rule that AI child porn is legal!” This reasoning is BS. This AI was trained on images of real children being raped, ergo all outputs are the result of actual child rape and thereby illegal. Republicans can always find a way to do nothing about child rape. So odd.

Appeals court delivers unsettling ruling — and says Supreme Court left it no choice

A federal appeals court says Supreme Court precedent forced it to protect possession of AI-generated child sexual abuse material, raising urgent questions.

Their guards will kill them for their food on the off chance they make it to these before things go sideways and if that doesn’t happen they’ll kill each other after a bit of time sealed in, probably in horrifying ways. Most likely they’ll probably all just die with the rest of us.

This is where the 1% will go to restart civilization after a nuclear attack. But it for me thinking: what if the uber wealthy built these bunkers for more people — and not for nuclear attacks but for the climate crisis that will get us all — instead of trying to leave the planet?

these are two odd looking guys

South Korea is sick of America. Expect them to sign a lasting peace deal with North Korea and pull away from America. Trump has destroyed the existing world order. We are an untrustworthy pariah state and will pay the price for his malfeasances for decades.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump on South Korea: "When they aren't willing to go for you you just can't be a stupid person and help them. They want our help."

Look at any of the last six Republican presidents; Trump, Bush Jr., Bush Sr., Reagan, Ford, Nixon. Do you see a smart person? Yeah? Are they also honest? I don’t think there’s been a single one who’s been smart AND honest since Eisenhower, but WOW, so many have been deeply stupid. 4/6 easy.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago

Trump: "They want our country lose the war with Iran. Which isn't gonna happen, because we're absolutely winning easily."

“The place to be” is a federal penitentiary, but not one of these creeps will serve a day in prison because Trump will issue blanket pardons for every Republican in America and Democrats won’t have the guts to prosecute any that he misses.

Google is now calling Lake Ontario “Lake America.” I’m now calling Google, Gargle.

Google’s excuse for kowtowing to Trump on Lake Ontario is that it’s just following the Geographic Names Information System. Does that mean Trump could sign an executive order redefining the North Pole to be in Kansas? Why stop there? Rename the constellations? Switch east and west? Up and down?

Fuck these ghouls. I pray there’s not another pandemic on their watch. Next time they’ll just let everyone die. Also: Covid isn’t the flu, repeated infections destroy your circulatory system & organs.A college athlete who gets it 3-4x is why he has myocarditis. This isn’t even debated. #GFY

When even the REPUBLICAN governors are complaining, you know the Midterms are going to be a complete shitshow. Trump is going to throw so much bullshit at the wall, hoping his pet Supreme Court will just make him President For Life. And they’re going to do it. Too big to rig is our only chance now.

The Republican governor of Wyoming has asked the state attorney general to "start looking into" the conduct of Trump Justice Department election observers deployed to the state for last week's primary election — calling the behavior of observers "aggressive" and "irregular."

Weird, yet again it turns out that the actual child molester isn’t a Queer or Trans person or a drag queen, it’s the Christian Zealot trying to make their lives impossible. Every time you hear a Republican say they don’t like LGBTQ people “because of the children,” that’s likely a child molester.
