The appeasement caucus is doing what it does best. Those fuckers are a millstone around the necks of the Democratic Party.

But if Iran was anywhere close to building a device it would make the most hilarious test blast ever.

The short-fingered vulgarian has singlehandedly coarsened American discourse; every asshole in the USA -- including Jewish ones -- has been given license to let their basest instincts out.

She didn't use to be NEARLY as reactionary as she is these days. I followed her for a long time, and the only thing wrong with her was her being cringingly materialist.
And then she lost that election and it was off to the shark-jumping arena.

Nope. It's a rubicon-crossing moment, just like HRT or the Big Yeet(s) are, and if you're nervous well why wouldn't you be?

Oh crap. People are gonna *die*! I'm so sorry for everyone in Toronto, and I hope you've got ample air conditioning at your place.

Feels like 44? G-d, that *sucks* and it isn't even the hot months yet.
Does Toronto provide cooling centers or do they expect people in distress to pack the streetcars & subway?

Oh, yeah. WOMEN like brunch, and there's a sect of very online leftists that are misogynist enough to reflexively hate anything that women like.
There may not be enough of them to be an influence, but they just won't shut the fuck up.

Yeah. Between the sex pest caucus, the accomodationist caucus, and the curled up in fetal position crying "don't hurt me" caucus the Democratic Party has quite a few strikes against them :-(

This is about NYC, yes? The sex pest caucus closing ranks and promoting their own?
The joy of STV/ranked choice voting is being able to explicitly say "I'll choose ANYONE over you, asshole!"

Haven't the Dems already started demanding impeachment?

Being the minority party puts the Dems at a severe disadvantage. They could filibuster the war declaration, but the short-fingered vulgarian has cleverly avoided that trap by doing a Nike.

You're expecting that no Republican is ever gonna be in the WH again? That's a bold prediction!

I guess people can yell at Chuck Schumer all they want, but I'm not really sure why they'd bother? The blame is all on the short-fingered vulgarian's shoulders now that the War Powers Act (as well as, well, everything) is dead.

Oh for the love of g-d.

You have a terrific fashion sense; I don't think I've seen a single selfie of yours where your clothing isn't 100% on point!

We are not soulless automatons working ceaselessly at the wheel of justice, but living beings who have an inner life that needs to be experienced.

Yes, agents of the state should not hide their faces when carrying out their duties.
(Do you think that either antifacists or BLM protestors are agents of the state? If so, I regret to inform you that you're completely wrong.)

Ayup. The huge crack of thunder followed by a torrential downfall (in Westmoreland) was pretty impressive.
Yesterday I was thinking of going out to Costco, but that weather announcement put a stop to that bike ride idea!

Yeah, everybody wanted the plague to be over, and not losing a thousand people a day counted as a win :-(
They still don't want to believe that people ever get the jackpot of long covid. Because heavens nobody in their village (that they still are in touch with) has it.

Groovy. But it doesn't address people's perception of the Democratic Party.
(Which is low because the fucking accomodationist caucus won't ever SHUT THE FUCK UP.)

That dude has only a vague idea of what women are. He's a good illustrator, but christ he' like the worst 50s caricature when it comes to understanding people.

Yeah; if their leaders say to hate (x) they will hate (x). I've known conservative fundamentalists who were chill about queers until their congregation brought in a homophobe as a pastor, and then they flipped 180° fast enough to make my head spin.
