true.

dealing with insurance and prescriptions though…

I am so glad I got transplanted last may because I think dialysis for 4 years might be preferable to receiving any kind of really serious medical procedures while this clown show is in charge.

SHUT THE FUCK UP ADDISON. YOU ENABLED THIS.

sincerely your constituent

fun fact addison has weak, really moist hands. I should know, I shook his hand* in college.

*edit- damn autocorrect

i don’t think there’s anything more pathetic than a self-hating member of a minority. log cabin republicans support the very people who would see them tortured, mentally abused, or even better dead.

just because you may be an lgbt doesn’t mean that you are part of the community. skinfolk ain’t necessarily kinfolk.

it’s not government tyranny unless a democrat is president. duh,

i’d like to think most of us saw all of the pride/dei public promotion as virtue signaling (and being honest i was **not **one of those people). but now i hope all of those corporations get all the backlash. not because they were pulling back on all of that but because they were using the very public symbolism as a marketing opportunity and nothing else. it gives the impression that they never had implemented any of those practices or believed in people being who they are in the first place and that’s worse. i would not shop at those places just for these places using very public movements as an “US TOO!” crass commercial opportunity. end stage capitalism in practice, and now watch as these same corporations cry poverty and some sort of activist interference because the free market is reacting to their actions.

good.

more than half of the electeds need to go from all sorts of issues from stabbing biden in the back to push him out to voting to censure rep al green to voting for all of trump’s cabinet picks. the party is rotten and necrotic at the head and it’s dragging the entire country down.

how do we know elon is just an idiot with a lot of money and an inverse amount of sense?

he wants to open dealerships in wisconsin in this political climate he created himself and expects people to buy his substandard cars.

how exactly is making sure that a rushed bill isn’t problem free with the right people in the room to address issues when the bill was written not progressive? sounds like jb is saying write it better and take your time to make sure it’s right this time instead of saying no.

sedans no, and it’s a goddamned shame because fuel efficient sedans still have a place. manuf won’t make them because trucks (and not even single cab small trucks) and suvs make more money.

he’s done a masterful job of framing issues that the (very) conservative commonwealth can accept without outright rejecting.

and believe it or not, he wasn’t my first choice to be gov in 2019. I thought he was too centrist.

THAT’S MY GOVERNOR

he’s only saying that because he happens to live in a super liberal small rural state.

know what happens in most ither states where you don’t have name recognition or a party infrastructure behind you and you run for office? unless you have some sort of money reserve you can tap into and dollar bills come gushing out like an oil geyser, it’s damn near impossible to not just win but get ballot access TO win. and if you do get ballot access, all you will do is steal votes from the registered democratic candidate (or the democratic candidate steals votes from you) and the republican wins.

a brilliant strategy from a man who twice ran for president as a democrat but refused to change his party affiliation. he didn’t even take his own damn advice, and look at what that got us. just the fact that he didn’t do this his own damn self should show how stupid an idea it actually is.

and by the way, sure he and aoc are drawing huge crowds. crowds are nothing. how many of those people vote? how many of those people get 2 more people to vote? just showing up to a rally means absolutely fuckall if you don’t actually go vote and vote for viable candidates. because if your message resonates with the people enough you don’t have to run unaffiliated with a major party because you would have the votes to run and win as a democratic candidate in the first place. because to be very honest, the thing that bernie is suggesting not only sounds like an exercise in liberal grifting, it also sounds like an excellent way to divide a voting bloc that when split has absolutely no chance of beating a republican ever but would absolutely lead to entrenched infighting among a group that should be united in beating republican christian nationalist fascism.

even though I do not trust self driving cars at this point in time, i would much rather trust literally every other manufacturer’s version of self driving tech except tesler.

i’m going to take a counter argument here. the united states should annex canada and buy greenland.

why?

because the population of canada is more than california.

because there are 48 democratic senators.

because canada and denmark are both more left leaning than california is.

see where i’m going here? canada and greenland gives dems enough people to force through their agenda through the house and senate. and with enough backlash there’s probably going to be a lot of gop senators who aren’t going to be senators in 2026, probably enough to hit 69 which would be the minimum to remove trump from office. probably enough to impeach that little lickspittle vance too. and then enough votes for a democratic president (since the house would be run by democrats, 3rd in succession is the speaker of the house) to sign bills giving canada it’s “independance” and return greenland to denmark.

if trump wants it that badly, then lets give it to him.
