The coup is happening in real time and all we can do is watch it happen like a plane crash.

Yeah I feel really bad about this.

The only thing that can save us is ourselves and I don’t know if I trust a general strike to go off.

If we're lucky, the Space Police will intervene.

Shocking that Matt Gaetz will have been as important as he was. The downfall of the American people will be a 21 year old man who adopted a teenage boy. Go figure.

Mitch McConnell hope you’re happy.

It's not a great time to be an American, even if one doesn't belong to a persecuted group. Soon enough this will affect us all more blatantly, and short of an impeachment or something, Trump and his cronies will continue down this path. It really is a terrible thing that millions of voters have willed into being over supposed "dinner table issues," which of course will only get worse.

Good luck.
The SCOTUS is going to be very busy over the next four years. Lots of shit is going to fall on the shoulders of Kavanaugh and Coney Barrett, who despite having been nominated by Trump and killed Roe v Wade have occasionally interpreted the Constitution fairly/against Trump's will.

Good luck to you as well.

We've had to hear about Her Email Server for a decade now but a Putin-friendly unelected guy is currently dicking around in federal databases. Cooooool.

That press conference was wild. Excuse my language here but I honestly thought he was going to say “They're hiring retards as Air Traffic Controllers!”

Apparently, that was from 2013, and it was for hiring low level positions. Assuming reasonably that it was something like janitors, but Trump wants us to think Biden was instructing Pete Buttigieg to hire gay minorities with IQs below 40 to manage the airways.

At this point, no one believes him. They either just sit in shock at the absurdity of it or just deny that it's absurd and defend it because they are pussies and/or cruel.
