Anyone else would already have been sentenced. Lady Justice clearly peaked out from behind the blindfold.

Loss of life would be tragic, of course, awful. I think people could be put in the very real, very dangerous situation where they've been abandoned by the captured court, and the fascists are installing themselves on a perversion of the law, and the freedom of all Americans is at stake. Not just freedom, like we've seen with abortion bans, and increasingly violent rhetoric, it will be lives at stake.

When you've been put in that position what can you do? The courts won't care, the republicans won't care, and if they take over like this it will be permanent. Dark fucking days ahead.

And let's not pretend a coup in America wouldn't have ramifications abroad either.

An actual coup like this would deserve an actual counter coup in response. Whatever form that takes.

Trump sues for entirely normal journalistic practices. What a world.

I forgot about the unironic "hide your power level" Chan shit.

Horrible, just fucking disgusting and an entirely predictible outcome of the Trump/republican abortion bans.

Another guy going to jail for Trump. He's hopefully about to learn the Tate/Peterson/Trump bro immunity doesn't apply to him.

MAGA is just another level of republican. Like in dragonball, MAGA is nearly the final form, but the final form is fascism.

I misread the % as being column, not row, associated. Thank you.

Here are the numbers: https://www.georgiavotes.com/

I like that it's overall mostly women by a large spread, I don't like that the non-voters leans towards men. Non-voting dude-bros were a target Trump constituency.

I see the ambiguity in Bidens statement, but it looks to me he meant the comedian, specifically the things the comedian said. " I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m fr- — in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American."

But the more important piece here is contrasting Harris with Trump, Harris addressed Biden's remarks directly, Trump won't address the racism directly. Harris is presidential, Trump is not.

Actual election interference, unlike the fake election interference Trump claims.

 
 

Donald Trump’s campaign was warned about not taking photographs before an altercation at Arlington National Cemetery during a wreath-laying ceremony earlier this week to honour service members killed in the Afghanistan War withdrawal, a defense official told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

[...]

“Federal law prohibits political campaign or election-related activities within Army National Military Cemeteries, to include photographers, content creators or any other persons attending for purposes, or in direct support of a partisan political candidate’s campaign,” the cemetery officials’ statement said. “Arlington National Cemetery reinforced and widely shared this law and its prohibitions with all participants. We can confirm there was an incident, and a report was filed.”

6 and 1.5 year olds.

Wife goes to work at 6.30am Alarm failed, family woke up at 740. Oldest has gum in hair from gum she snuck to bed. Youngest has pink eye. Missed bus, obviously. Getting youngest ready, oldest roller blades by in underwear. Oldest falls in silly putty, ruins underwear. Skip breakfast, rush outside. Oldest on tricycle, rushing down driveway. Bribe with doughnuts, all in the car now. Youngest gets motion sickness leaving driveway. Call pharmacy, they lost the prescription for eye cream. Buy 10 doughnut holes, oldest eats 8 of them while I'm cleaning up youngest. Saves two for us, lol. Go to wife, get gum cut from hair. Childcare calls. Where is youngest (with me). Don't forget the change bag! ( I did). Drop off of oldest done, only 1 hour late. Wish me luck with the rest dads.

 

"All of my proposals are constitutional," Poilievre said.

"We will make them constitutional using whatever tools the constitution allows me to use to make them constitutional. I think you know exactly what I mean."

"They have to get people back to work," Premier Doug Ford said during a press conference on Thursday in Ottawa, standing next to Mayor Mark Sutcliffe.

"It sounds crazy. I'm begging people to go to work for three days — not that they aren't working at home, but it really affects the downtown."

 

Albertans will pay more if they smoke, vape, or drive an EV.

 

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the federal government will stop investing in new road infrastructure — a comment that immediately drew the ire of the Opposition Conservatives and some premiers who said the climate activist turned politician is out of touch.

Guilbeault said Tuesday the government will be there to support provinces paying for maintenance but Ottawa has decided that the existing road infrastructure "is perfectly adequate to respond to the needs we have."

"There will be no more envelopes from the federal government to enlarge the road network," Guilbeault said, according to quotes published in the Montreal Gazette.

"We can very well achieve our goals of economic, social and human development without more enlargement of the road network."

Guilbeault said the federal government is intent on moving people out of their cars and into public transportation, which the government has spent billions to build.

The federal government also wants to encourage "active transportation," which means getting people to walk and cycle.
