"Well, the marketing of crypto has been brilliant, with many small investors in particular still being sucked in by the combination of technobabble and libertarian derp." After 17 years there is still no legitimate use. Nobody should be buying these magic beans.

This shows how bankrupt the "constitutional conservative" nonsense has always been. The constitution, according to the GOP, is whatever they say it is. They don't care about actually upholding anything they don't like. Trump is openly taking bribes and there is nothing from those jokers.

FINALLY, Jefferson Griffin concedes the race he lost 6 months ago. Congratulations (again, and again!) to Justice Allison Riggs – on her electoral victory in Nov. and her victory in her fight to protect EVERY NC voter from the sorest of losers and his corrupt GOP buddies on our state courts.

The fact that this case dragged on for this long is a travesty of justice. I hope this is the end of this saga. The NCGOP works constantly to subvert democracy. They hate the voters of NC and don't want to be subject to actual free and fair elections.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

The leopards are going to end up eating a lot of faces before the right wing echo chamber is broken. The US is made up of two very different realities. I hope this is the start of a breaking down of the walls between those realities.

Trump is tearing up the Constitution with such speed that it won't be long until we are all forced to quarter soldiers!

I live in NC and it was the bathroom bill. I think it was labeled afterwards as trans panic but it was clear that the GOP was looking for a new minority to pick on. They lost the gay marriage fight and needed a new enemy. It was always clear that trans folks were just trying to live their life.

This is a major part of the GOP agenda that most people aren't talking about. They want to return to the patronage system so they can reward their supporters with tax dollars. It is alive and well for the GOP in NC and looks like it is coming to the federal government next.

Only the absolute worst people can become a leader in the MAGA movement. The way even church leaders can dehumanize their perceived enemies is awful. They abhor anyone who tries to stop them from carrying out their worst impulses.

Final payback for his reversal on abortion. They gerrymandered his district so he can’t lose and now put him in the leadership position. Never trust a Republican who identifies as a moderate.

Great way to talk about an adjudicated rapist and someone who has been accused of sexual assault multiple times.

It’s because all they investigate now is scholarships for Black students and reports of a teen telling a Tesla owner “nice car, are you driving it to the dick-sucking store”

The Democrat who announces a primary challenge to Dick Durbin today, rather than waiting for him to announce his retirement, will raise $10 million in a week.

I don't care about banning food dyes but this is not why West Virginia residents have so many "lifestyle" illnesses. Banning Red40 isn't going to solve their problems.

If you send me $1,000 today, and today only, I will have God assign you 10,000 angels. That is only $0.10 an angel. There is no way you will find a better deal. But, this is a limited time offer. God is only offering these kind of prices for a limited time.

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process. Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

We are systematically destroying everything that would help the next generations improve their lives and help them get ahead in life. Just so we can concentrate more wealth upward. The older generations seem to be incredibly childish. They want everything but don't want to sacrifice anything.
