    Just listened to the interview with the AZ sec of state. Simultaneously confidence building and also frightening in how liberals just insist that imaginary forces of good will win the day.

      But they do though. The problem is the timeframe isn’t fixed. Could be tomorrow could be 20 years. That’s the monkeys paw in action.

          ?

          “Monkeys paw” is a reference to an old short story, and in this context it boils down to “be careful what you wish for”

            I think he was going for the “and everyone lived happily ever after” business common to tgose stories. Reality tends not to wrap up so neatly.

      It’s a start, but there is so much more work to do, and people will need to learn to live with their heads outside of their asses. Sadly most folks seem to think the midterms are the one weird trick that will allow them to shove it straight back up…

      it wont, since gop states are already gerrymandering, purging voters as we speak, lousiania, texas, tennessee, florida are the notable oens. Also the complicity of the house and senate dems who made thier alliance pretty obvious to israel.

    Can we please get this man and some of his energy running for office? I really want to see more people that are as well spoken as this guy getting on stages and torching the establishment in speeches and debates.

    “…doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” So long as we are stuck in our archaic form of government with de facto two parties, 18th century notions of accountability, and ethics standards that make Burger King appear admirable, the cycle will keep repeating. There will probably always be terrible people among us. When a small group can seize easily seize a party that sits at around half of political power and just needs a slight advantage to take full control of the country, the path will remain winding and difficult.

      He doesn’t control his shriveled brain let alone his own incontinent bowels. This charade is 100% perpetuated by his nazi handlers.

      Those filth will face their Nuremberg. Either by the recovered government, or by we the people.

        I hope the people step up their efforts. As a Canadian on the outside looking in, the protests and strikes haven’t seemed to amount for much so far. They need to be a consistent effort. Don’t get me wrong, they’re a good start, you guys just aren’t going far enough and long enough with them.

      Man…Guy Fieri was an unexpected bingo card space in the 2026 calander for…

      checks notes

      …connecting in a meaningful way with Gen Z to burn down the confederacy.

      Gotta say. Didn’t see that one coming, but if anyone knows anything about burning, it may as well be the guy with fire on his shirt.

        Guy Fieri is an alt right sympathizer btw. Not the worst of them, but he’s not out to remove Trump either.
