Why have laws? Why follow the Constitution?

I mean this shit is getting normalized by the MSM.

If you don't like the results of an election just overthrow the results. If that doesn't work, only allow Republicans to vote in the next election. Who needs election boards, allow Republicans to count the votes. States that went Democratic, no problem, change the Electoral votes away from winner take all and apportion them.

If you don't want the freedom to peaceably protest just pass a law that people who are arrested at protests can't hold government jobs, can't run for office, can't get a loan. Put a cherry on top of that, allow people to run into protesters with their car.

I can't watch cable news. Just talking about what the GQP politicians are doing normalizes it.

I am pretty negative about all of this minority rule.

Democrats are too nice. President Biden is doing a bang up job but he needs help from the Democratic Congress. It is BS that we can't have a commission set up to investigate the insurrection.

Once again I need talked down from the ledge.

Perhaps you'd like them to ignore what Republicans are doing? Ignorance is bliss?

There was no disagreement regarding 9/11.

Talking constantly about right wing nonsense does normalize it. Look what happened to Trump when Twitter banned him. Even bad publicity is publicity.

As soon as Democrats talk about expanding the SC to 13 justices, that idea is shot down by the MSM and even by Democrats. I guarantee you that if there were 6 liberal justices on the court and Republicans controlled government the MSM would be normalizing it and there would be no Republicans opposed to it.

Perhaps the fact that Democrat leaders ARE shooting it down is the reason the media is reporting the story that way?

They've had it so long.

Sometimes I wonder if they realize how desperately terrified they are -- of women, people of color, anyone who is not an old white male.

Breathe!

Happy Earth Day!

Bothsiderism sucks. Having someone on a show that defends this shit is just wrong.
But then, these shows are ONLY on the air for the purpose of making money.
