  1. "The war must not be won. It must be continuous." George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-four, in the book within the book

  2. If Mike Lindell would have just gone away in 2019, his would have been a heartwarming story about a troubled man who turned his life around and helped his town. Instead, he will be remembered for throwing it all away for a charlatan and a traitor.

  3. What do you call a failed coup where the instigators aren't punished? Practice.

  4. While Roe was a thing, a lot of people (not activists, but regular people) called themselves "pro-life" because they were personally uncomfortable with abortion. However, once it is no longer abstract, a lot of people realized that they were pro-choice after all.

  5. You know it's bad when there's a video with Kari Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene, and neither is the craziest person in it.

  6. Just like Jim Jones, Trump is too cowardly to go out the way he demands his followers go out.

  7. In Kentucky, Evil Turtle insisted that he wouldn't touch Kynect, the state-based ACA exchange that was the gold standard nationwide, and nobody pointed out that his desire to repeal the ACA would also kill Kynect.

  8. I'm shocked, shocked that the woman who claimed that she refused to impeach Trump in order to "unite the country and end the divisiveness" is calling for the resignation of someone who criticized her.

  9. Darn right, David! The answer is to make it harder for them to steal. Every time I hear someone say, "Well, now, the centrists will give up power if they lose and all of our dreams come true," they will hate you and blame you for the loss. The real place to fight for The best is the primary.

  10. ​ @federalisticnewyorkians4470  I don't know how. It's not like he didn't have a track record, or farmers didn't get so screwed over in the last trade war that they needed a bailout. Or that he botched the response to the pandemic and contributed to the deaths of over a million people.

  11. ​ @1987BillyBob  Define "terrible." I remember toilet paper shortages four years ago and the highest unemployment since the Great Depression.

  12. 35 House seats, seven governors, six legislative chambers (including unified executive and legislative control in CO, CT, and ME), so not a bad night at all.

  13. ​ @jeremyjameslv  Increasing the child tax credit, restoring the Voting Rights Act

  14. ​ @farlefthasseriousTDS  What's a little coup attempt among friends?

  15. @Zir Alert Bush was awful, but he was not a fascist who tried to overthrow democracy. Trump was worse.

  16.  @yayorandel6048  Oh, look, someone fighting the last war. The Emperor surrendered. The definition of marriage changed many times through history. Regardless, you completely miss the fact that someone else getting married shouldn't affect your happiness... unless you're jealous or something.

  17. ​ @ronaldnixon8226  So, he went into Russia in 2022? Nice try, but Alternative Facts don't work here.
    33
  18.  @aerialhorizonrc7827  That's a pretty low bar, especially when we have a candidate who could literally transform the country for the better.

  19.  @honeysucklecat  Twice as many Hillary 2008 voters went for McCain as Bernie 2016 voters went for Trump.

  20. The man, the legend!

  21. And a substantial portion of his followers will believe him.

  22. I ran for office in 2006 (WV House of Delegates). My district was pretty small (roughly 6500 voters in 24 precincts in part of one county). When you are in that campaign bubble, it is easy to convince yourself that you will win, because you won't encounter many who will flat out tell you they're voting against you, so I was confident of victory that night. When the polls closed, the candidates gathered at the courthouse waiting for the results. After the fourth batch of preceints came in, I knew that there weren't nearly enough votes left to make up the deficit (if they had said which precincts were coming in and I saw that I wasn't hitting my numbers, I would have known much sooner), and knowing that the last batch of results would come in soon, I told the press that I would make a statement and be available for interviews after all of the precincts came in. When the numbers came in, I congratulated my opponent and wished him the best of luck for the people of our county and our state. I gave a radio and newspaper interview where I freely conceded and only had good things to say about my opponent, even though we didn't agree on much of anything. I get more than most people here how hard a concession can be, but it is the right thing to do and your responsibility to the winner and to democracy. I have no respect for these spoiled brats who refuse. If I could at 27, what is your excuse?

  23. Don't forget Boebert.

  24.  @fleecejohnson9114  He said there would be a vaccine in October. He also said that maybe 50,000 people would die.

  25. If any of these cult leaders had read Frankenstein, they would know that the doctor was the real villain. Then again, considering that the only thing that Dear Leader is known to have read since college is a collection of Hitler speeches, I'm not surprised that he didn't learn that when you create a monster, it will ultimately turn on you.

  26. ​ @valdi1523  Me, too! Even though not many people do, I still wear my mask when I'm in public (unless I'm exercising and no one is near me), and I tell my daughter to wear hers, and we both have avoided coronavirus the whole time, even with her mom getting two breakthrough cases.

  27.    We can never forget, because that is the baseline for how bad the next Republican President will be.

  28. ​ @brg1969  Define socialism and tell us how Kamala fits that definition.

  29. ​ @sifujacob1259  For some people, if you ever say anything positive about Israel, anything critical of Hamas or the Palestinian Authority, or support Israel's basic right to exist, you are too pro-Israel.

  30. ​ @pecquet-dubalaix8288  No one has the power to universally do so. That would be up to Congress.

  31.  @2FadeMusic  If you get her to focus, she is actually good on policy.

  32. Mike Cargile may be the most calm crazy person I have ever seen.

  33. They should be. The basic rule is that they can't say to vote for someone. Not sure if they're slick enough to avoid those key words that get you on trouble with the IRS as a 501(c)(3).
    22
  34. ​ @adriannannen5941  Maybe it wouldn't take as long if Republican legislators in blue states didn't put up roadblocks. For example, in my state of Pennsylvania, Republican legislators refused to allow precincts to open and unfold the absentee ballots before polls opened on Election Day.

  36.  @texajp1946  Sad situation when people can't tell the difference between isolationism and peace.

  37. ​ @jimfleming1979  Well, my brother got it three times and ended up in the ER twice, one of them he lost 50 pounds even though he's not a heavy man.

  38.  @jimbob9407  Trying to use violence to get their way because they didn't like the election results is terrorism.

  39.  @ethanahmu6149  I can't speak for the OP, but I came home with swollen adenoids, headaches, even as much as two years after I got home black came out sometimes when I blew my nose, and I would freak out when I saw litter on the road (the absolute worst was I swerved on the interstate when I saw something that I thought was bomb a week or two after I got home, and there but for the grace of God, there was no one in the other lane, and I had passengers), and my deployment was relatively uneventful.

  40.  Sara Mill  No, he doesn't. He is listing a relative's house on his filing papers.

  41. Because the Supreme Court is in his pocket. They took hardly any time at all to neuter the Fourteenth Amendment so he could run despite inciting an insurrection the last time, but taking their sweet, old time on the immunity case.

  42. Indeed. I literally remember someone using "pursuit of happiness" as an argument against gay marriage.

  43. He's very good at avoiding straight answers. He never answered the question of whether or not Biden won, although he later implied that he didn't.

  45. Only eight people have qualified thus far for the fifth debate. I really hope no one else does.

  46. Or, as Tina Fey used to call it, clap-ter.

  47.  @DoctorBiobrain  Indeed. Ben Carson was a truly great neurosurgeon based on everything that has been reported, but he seems to know nothing about anything else. He was basically a less likable version of The Todd fron Scrubs.

  48. Yes, it was. She had a primary challenge to her left, which happened to her every cycle because of how far right she is. It also had the nice little bonus for her of going after who she really hated: Hillary Clinton. This is her true self.

  49.  Sara Mill  He doesn't live here now. That is the point.

  50.  @lucboy13  How much does Charles Koch pay you every time you copy and paste this?
