    Funny thing is, California has to go to the people to vote. Texas just did it. Who is more in the wrong here? Orange idiot strikes again.

      After the California courts approved it to go forward. Everything by the book. That’s an incomprehensible concept to him.

        If only. My fondest wish is that this kind of brinkmanship further stresses the already weak systems and further drives the most disillusioned to complete despondency and we usher in a complete and total collapse of the country. I’m further hoping that the knock-on effect of having the world’s biggest economy go tits up is enough to strain and stress the other capitalist states and help usher in something new. While the revolution won’t be bloodless or televised, the hope is that when the dust settles we’re finally in a place to deliver on the promise of a better future.

      GOP just rubber stamps everything they want and we have to swim against a torrent of old man feces and ICE agents to pass basic tit-for-tat responses. Fucking toddlers don’t understand how to function in a civilized society so now they stomp their feet on our necks.

          I’ve said it many times before but when this pos finally dies I along with many many others will be drinking and celebrating like it’s new years. The 2nd American Independence Day will be the day Donny is dead.

              Same with me. If I’m working at the news breaks that Donny has died I’m immediately taking vacation on the spot and parting hard.

    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

      Conservatives are fundamentally bad people. Hypocritically supporting your in-group while harming your out-group is bad person behavior. Someone admitting they are a conservative should elicit the same response as someone saying they kick puppies or punch babies. It’s inexcusable and has no place in polite society.

        “Kill puppies and kick babies” is more accurate to this current bunch

        Yep, and I’ve been tired of the both-siderists and so-called “moderates” making excuses for conservatives and Republicans and talking about “true” conservatives.
