Let me tell you, the guys wearing "free thinker" shirts are always the smart ones, with amazing intellect and deeply reasoned positions.
Maybe it’s just me but it feels like the “RINOs” are starting to get fed up and own it…. Which I hope is true because I yearn for the political landscape of 30 years ago (I know I know… low bar). Just met with a bunch of Republican legislatures in a red state and many of them were talking about how much they hate that flank of the party and they’ve (on the state level at least) been getting everything done in conjunction w Dems instead of that wing of the party. One even called himself basically a former Republican even though he’s still one.
A member of Congress openly accusing another congressman of statutory rape should be a humongous scandal. This country sucks shit.
Wrong Gonzalez. Anthony Gonzalez voted to impeach Trump, as well as the same sex marriage act, so the GOP primaried him. He withdrew before the primary and got out of politics.
Kevin McCarthy said it on video not that long ago, nothing came of it… well, I think he said no idea if he actually did it but he pressured him to bury it.
All this public smoke they keep throwing Gaetz's way is nice to see, but yes, until we see action it all seems to be nothing more than performative signaling.
Be cool if they’d spoken up when it was happening instead of years later when it doesn’t hold the same weight.

Quoting @tylerking.bsky.social ➥ The New Hampshire state House has passed a GOP bill ending requirement for children in daycare be vaccinated for polio and measles. Republicans control the House, Senate, and Governor’s office.
Happening among local GOP jurisdictions everywhere. It's getting very lively and nasty. Like, legit physical brawls. I'm so goddamn entertained. I just want the whole party to cannibalize itself, and centrist dems to arise as the new right wing. You know, cuz they are by most measures.
I just remembered the presidential immunity issue is @ SCOTUS this week. A tall task for democracy to have go on the road to some really tough opponents but I’m hoping for a good result.
So fucking stupid. Both are basically eradicated and no negative to those vaccines that have been around for a long time. Let’s just reintroduce those ailments back into one of the most vulnerable populations
If they rule a president has total immunity then Biden can take one small step to ensure a victory this fall. Good result either way!
Currently reading a book on the Iraq War and it was so terribly planned that even warmonger John McCain would read 15 pages of the same book, get angry, throw the book at the wall, and take a walk before he could read 15 more pages. That was W’s foreign policy.
“The vibes are fucked right now, no cap.” - Added a source close to former President Trump’s deliberations
Just checked the front pages of the NYT, Washington Post, CNN, ABC news, and NBC news and didn’t even see a mention of it.
People round the world will always chase the perfection that was the Pete Dance and will always fall sort.
