Nobody from nowhere! Wish I could be in the mountains. Regrettably still following politics, the republic was nice while it lasted.

And here I was under the impression that All Lives Matter. I must have gotten confused with something else.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

Wisconsin, this is just embarrassing.
Ron Johnson blames US for Putin invading Ukraine: "The way we treated Russia after we won the Cold War, how we pushed them. I'm not defending Putin, but we said we were not gonna move NATO one inch to the east. We brought it right to their doorstep basically. What did we think Putin was gonna do?"

They’re going to force the men to get gender-affirming care.
The Pentagon released guidelines requiring male service members aged 30 and older to be tested for low testosterone. A new study estimates that about one-quarter of active-duty U.S. Army men may have levels below a commonly used cutoff for low testosterone. https://wapo.st/4sfO8vK

Remember when George W. Bush mocked a woman begging for her life before being executed? Republicans are monsters. Fuck all of them.
Trump and Ronny Jackson have a chuckle about the botched execution in Tennessee: "The medication didn't exactly work. He [Jackson] would answer it better than anybody. How does that happen? It shouldn't be very difficult."
Sen. Duckworth needs to harden up or resign!
I had not seen this clip where Tammy Duckworth advises Democrats to "not impeach anybody," "get back to work" and "allow" Donald Trump to "save face" and I would just like to remind the senator from IL that the federal government took 4,000 Chicagoans and murdered a 38-year-old father last fall.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."
Incredibly disappointing ad from Mary Peltola (D-AK) saying she neither supports "kids getting surgeries to change genders or men in girls bathrooms." Yes, flipping the Senate is essential and can stop bad laws and bad judges from happening, but she can do it without my support from the lower 48.

It’s almost like rich people are bad for society.
Wanna know something I think would be crazy? It would be crazy if XX-XY Athletics, the apparel firm stoking outrage against the WNBA, had a secret, Koch brothers-aligned, oil rich family fortune behind it. But that would be crazy, right??? www.foiaball.com/p/xx-xy-athl...
More Center Right drivel from the New York Times Opinion Page. I’m Shocked… well not that shocked.
“What Trump did is not really replace one G.O.P. ideology with another,” David French says on “The Opinions.” Instead, “he took the G.O.P. ideology that existed around 2015, nuked it from orbit, and then turned the glowing ruins into nothing but his impulses and desires.”
Seriously seeing how the Russian military has preformed in Ukraine in the last four years I’m pretty sure one division of marines could mop up Russia and China over a long weekend.
The war in Iran has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles, according to senior officials. This not only leaves the U.S. military less equipped, but could also leave Russia and China feeling emboldened should they contemplate a potential conflict with the U.S., experts said. nyti.ms/3RQYTqt

Trump 2 has shown that the bulk of federal, state, and local "law enforcement" don't perform any useful functions at all. If they did, it would not be so easy to re-task them to brainless gestapo work like rounding up whole neighborhoods and waiting outside public buildings.
I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.
