Mainstream media are either incredibly gormless or intent on having a 2nd Trump presidency. There is no third option.

Happy to see that Mark Warner is getting dragged to bits on The Other Place. #IStandWithJoe

Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.

here’s the fucking enraging thing about this: this is not what the newspapers and the magazines of the world are telling you. it’s not even a partisan thing to call this out. objectively, a second trump term means we all live in a different country than any of us have ever lived in. but, biden old.

there is no fucking “after” if trump wins again. there is america as we know it now, and there is post-america. that’s the choice. you aren’t voting for president, you are voting for the country you have always known, or one you’ve never known.

Yes, Trump has been legally determined to be a rapist. Because too many people somehow don’t seem to know this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Analysis | Judge clarifies: Yes, Trump was found to have raped E. Jean Carrollwww.washingtonpost.com What the jury found Donald Trump did to E. Jean Carroll was in fact rape, as commonly understood, even if it didn't fit New York law's narrow definition, says Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.

IMPORTANT (and frightening) thread!!!!

1/ I'm agnostic as to whether Biden should withdraw from the race. It's a genuinely tough question IMO. But I have clarity on one thing: He should absolutely not step down as president. If Harris becomes President, the Vice Presidency is empty. Under the 25th Amendment ...
