    I am road tripping up to Dallas tomorrow with a buddy who is a "centrist" and he's already blaming Dems for not saving McCarthy because Jim Jordan or whoever is next could be so much worse.  I'm going to use this on him when it inevitably comes up.

    Why would anyone, regardless of where they are on the political spectrum, trust McCarthy?  
    McCarthy FAFO.

    I'm sure that more than fairly and appropriately appraised $35 billion house will more than offset those taxes.

    "What you attacked was the Constitution," Jackson said, "you were attacking the very foundation of the nation itself."

    "You are a legend in your own mind," she told Badalian. "A hero in your own head."

    "As Badalian removed his suit jacket, his tie, his belt and his shoelaces under the close watch of two marshals, he proclaimed that "this is what you get for defending the Capitol building" and questioned the loyalty of one of the law enforcement officers taking him into custody. "How do you feel about this?" he asked. "You feel like this is right?"  Just before he was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom, Badalian told the marshal that he had the duty to resist unconstitutional orders."

    FUCK that enrages me.  Four years, and this lunacy will be out again.

    Find me a conservative that decries the MAGA movement, acknowledges climate change and election results, supports uncensored education, doesn't want to make purchasing a gun even easier, realizes that forcing women to give birth isn't sustainable, isn't demonizing the LGTBQ community, and doesn't parrot the word woke like they get paid by the mention, and you'd have my attention.

    But that hypothetical candidate just got primaried 80/20, and one of their constituents is parked down their street with guns and a half-assed manifesto.

    Damn good points.

    I wonder if ONE of the big flaws in a primary system of picking a candidate is the extremes of the party are much more likely to be involved (voting and financially) than the vast, uninterested middle, and the more fringe the candidate, the more successful that candidate would be in  the primary process.

  5. I get so disillusioned at the blatant pandering the MAGA/GOP does to the bigoted, misogynistic, racist, undereducated people to stoke fear that brown-skinned, atheist, drag queens are after their kids and jobs.

    And @royiv, 100% fix the tax code loopholes that only mega rich and corporations seem to be able to use.

  6. small ell liberarian.

    Financially conservative, socially liberal (as in, the government shouldn't be legislating lifestyle choices---leave people the fuck alone).

    But in the big dilemma between raising taxes and not being a cruel bastard to disenfranchised groups, I'll side with kindness every time. 
    And no tolerance for traitors like the MAGA group.

    We have more than enough money to make sure every school kid is fed, and fuck vouchers using public money for private schools.
