Dietrich Bonhoeffer was murdered by the SS because he didn’t stand idle as his country went full Nazi. He helped with multiple plots to assassinate Hitler, smuggled vulnerable people out of Germany and founded a church that rejected nazification that was later deemed illegal by the Nazis. The guy was a pastor. Do you honestly think he was dogshit for not doing enough?
Some Democratic politicians flirt with the idea because they think it will help their chances to become president, like Newsom: https://calmatters.org/politics/2025/03/newsom-transgender-athletes/
I hope they vote for relief then jump out a window like Lincoln did to avoid a quorum. Could be funny.
Don’t even need to troll, just state facts.
Well I’m sure the courts will rule it illegal since it is a blatant lie. /s
Good for you staying alive, but why does your opinion matter on whether I get my kids vaccinated?
With you up until bringing the far left into this. What does universal healthcare, trans rights or taxing billionaires have to do with the surveillance state, aside from dismantling it?
“gloves off” is supporting the daily “music festival” (what we have to call the protests to avoid censorship on social media) in LA and coordinating other cities to join the festivities. It is making a list of corrupt judges who’s verdicts will be ignored. It is claiming that gerrymandered politicians will similarly be ignored. It is strategy that depends on the one thing the GOP doesn’t have: broad public support.
Have they tried cursing while supporting Israel? I’m sure that will work.
They will just change how the rules work, again.
The courts are rigged.
Nah, they want your money and making the election a desperate struggle for survival is the best way to do that. They couldn’t care less about votes.
To assert dominance?
The governor didn’t call for their imprisonment but that they be returned to the state to perform their duties: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Oregon_Senate_Republican_walkout
Also did not call for them to loose their seats or that the FBI be sent after them.
If Newsom is our best hope then we are fucked. The guy thinks if the throws enough minorities under the bus the rest of the country will forget he is a Democrat from California.
Ahh yes, we all remember that time the Democratic president asked a state to gerrymander away some oppositional seats. /s
We also remember when Republicans fled Oregon to deny quorum. (This one is not sarcastic)
I wonder how many Republicans would be unseated with rank choice voting…
The more overworked people are the more willing they are to take intellectual shortcuts and not think independently. One of those shortcuts is to mistake a contrarian opinion as independent thought. Throw in a contrarian leader into an economy where people are overworked and this is the result.
And sometimes even little girls.
Imagine if the players could rewrite the rules of the game.
