Yup. And even if one location is simply perfect in every way, the demons in this administration will start putting on pressure to "fix" that - whether it's sending in the likes of ICE or threatening institutions with defunding them unless they are nastier, etc...

Well, compared to crimes the Republicans have done since and continue to do, maybe they aren't wrong?

For instance: the rampant criminality of Ronnie Raygun's admin (most criminal in history, at least so far) and Iran/Contra? The October Surprise?

Watergate was not great. Neither were the findings of the Church Committee and what was learned in the Pentagon Papers. And the conservatives seem to have shown little restraint since.

Biden is absolutely correct.

The only kind of derangement syndromes that ever made any sense as terms are these: Clinton Derangement Syndrome, Carter Derangement Syndrome (some of the really old fucks spent a lot of their time grumbling about FDR, even), California Derangement Syndrome, and biggest of all: Obama Derangement Syndrome.

The right lost their freaking minds over Obama. They were always a bubbling cauldron of shit, but things got real unhinged when Obama was elected.

When the right talks about "TDS", they are just so full of total shit. Noticing the crimes and incompetence and idiocy and character flaws and the health decline of Donvict is not a goddamned "syndrome" it's someone talking about reality.

Anyone that talked about "long form birth certificates" at length for eight fucking years and beyond loses any right to talk about anyone else having a syndrome, LOL.

What sickens me so much is that these sister-fuckers think that patriotism only belongs to them.

Also annoying: the overly online types that act like the United States can never be redeemed and never did anything worthwhile.

Fuck that noise. We have to reclaim that flag and the American experiment to try to actually strive to be better.

Authoritarians are some of the most fragile people on the planet.

It cracks me up that the cons have been able to paint liberals as being "elitist" based on aspiring to be better educated (see Santorum squealing that wanting everyone to have access to a college education is "elitist" for example).

Meanwhile, they openly do nakedly extremely elitist things like this.

Not to mention being positively giddy in their support for a billionaire like Donvict. It doesn't get much more elitist than that. SMH, the cons seem to delight in perverting the English language.

You can be suspicious of Newsom and also acknowledge that he's right about the federal level thing, though.

I don't know whether to laugh or to be terrified that these assholes are straight up telling on themselves.

"JD" "Vance" is saying Watergate would be NBD in comparison to all the crimes his administration is doing.

The Keebler Elf here is straight up saying he's running interference for a pedophile and he's worried about Republicans facing consequences for their crimes.

It's almost like they expect to have zero consequences for being terrible people.

From this headline, I thought this was about a group providing oversight ON the DOJ.

Anyway, shows what the thin-skinned toddler is most concerned about - golden ballrooms, celebrating himself, and trying to exact revenge on anyone that exposed his crimes.

My favorite thing I saw recently in relation to tipping - was this sign at a restaurant about what the minimum wage was and encouraging tipping.

I'm assuming that sign was put up or at least tacitly endorsed by the management.

It's almost as if they don't have any agency over what they pay their own workers and they are then shaming customers into making up the difference? WTF?

I may not have been paying too much attention, but somewhere along the way, I now need to log in to....read reviews on IMDB.com?

I mean, sure I could create a burner email, probably, and sign up, but I hate this kind of thing so very much.
