Just one person, but I didn't know even one existed and, if there's one, there may be more.



My brother also. Don't know who he'll vote for, but I don't think it will be Trump. He said trump is borderline insane. I will once a decade pull the big brother card and I did it with Trump. He's paying attention now.

I turned on MSNBC when this all went down and one of their reporters said it appeared he was doing a military review prior to giving his sign-off. He is living his Rodney King wet-dream in real time.


Can the attorney general even legally direct troops?? It was such an apocalyptic image.

I thought WWI was the war to end all wars and WWII was the great war. So hard to keep the horrors of human existence straight.


WWI was both “the Great War” and “the war to end all wars.”


Damn it, then what's WWII? Those who fought in it were the greatest generation.

You couldn't have called it WWI until sometime after 1939.

My interpretation is it was more symbolic, but we know the rules don't apply to this administration with the spineless Republican-controlled Senate.

The speech is good but god he sounds like he's had a minor stroke. Slurring words, tripping over them constantly.


I think this is a dumb take that only echoes shitty takes on far left and right wing internet. I just rewatched the speech, I thought the delivery was fine. VP Biden has a known stuttering issue, and I'm not a medical expert nor am I a conspiratorial enough to attribute any slip ups to a separate health issue.

I know this is BSG, so parroting that Biden had a stroke or is senile doesn't really matter... I just expect more out of people here.


Seriously. 77 year old stroke victims aren't getting down on one knee for a photo op.

Lets face it, this is Trump's world and we are just living in it.

His pathetic response to the COVID, then his meh response to actual social justice (not the kind where he get to be a Kardashian), moving on to the quality fake around citizen's first amendment rights as his administration launches an attack on those peaceful protester to quash those very rights, completing the 6 month decent into chaos by effectively desecrating a church as a prop.

He is a master of reality TV, but a horrible fucking person and some percentage of the US is getting off on it.

Yeah, sorry. Had decided to post upthread, but when I finally got to it the conversation had moved on. I'm slow.

#BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has announced actions to hold AG Barr accountable. Nadler is preparing to introduce legislation to cut funding against his office by $50M.

There will also be hearings w/ DOJ whistleblowers and former DOJ officials in the coming weeks.

I know a lot is going on but I really like election days and am excited to see the results across the state tonight and in the next few days. Lots of things to look for.

I would add that Meghan has a "Live free or die" thing on her feed. Guess she doesn't really understand it means that sometimes people have to sacrifice for what's right.

Just went to drop off our ballots and was denied one of them. Apparently you can't drop multiple off at once. So now I gotta go back in costume and a different car.

That's frustrating. Each county has different rules too. It's been hard to know what's what. And saw Berks just this afternoon was like as long as they are postmarked by today, making it the 7th county.
