SC just ended separation of church and state.

But hey, Hillary would not have been a PERFECT candidate so we will bash her nonstop




The Supreme Court said Tuesday that Maine cannot exclude religious schools from a tuition assistance program that allows parents to use vouchers to send their children to public or private schools.

The 6-3 ruling is the latest move by the conservative court to expand religious liberty rights and bring more religion into public life, a trend bolstered by the addition of three of former President Donald Trump’s nominees.


That scumbag got 3 completely unqualified liars on the SC...But hey, she would not have been perfect so we had to WHINE about her and say "hold my nose" and vote

Merrick Garland is not the problem nor is the DOJ at the end of the day...

If sitting GOP House and Senate members are unwilling to oppose fascist autocracy, the nation cant stop it.

Yes, Merrick and the DOJ must indict many members of the GOP for their actions on Jan 6 and other dates, but it will make NO difference even if you convict and jail MTG and Boebert and even traitor trump IF the rest of the GOP wont be patriots.



DeSantis will be waiting and the revitalized and angrier than ever GOP will end our democracy in a heartbeat. There are simply too many of them willing to end our democracy for their white supremacy regime. Which is what all this is about, of course.

I worded it "at the end of the day" because I will be very angry if they dont indict some of these traitors. But I realize our future lies solely in the hands of the GOP leadership, politicians and rank and file. If MAGA gets no resistance, bye bye America.

Our survival ALWAYS depended on the VAST majority agreeing that the peaceful transfer of power is the basis of our existence. Near half the country now believes their power is the basis for our existence.


If you know a repub, talk to them, tell them not to do this. Tell them to make their voice heard. I know some, I am talking to them.

Best CBD for pain relief?

I use Papa & Barkley 3:1 releaf balm.

I dont know if 1:3 is stronger, I dont know how high I would get from their transdermal patch, and I dont get high on the balm.

I dont want to get high per se, long story.

Who uses what?

I just realized this looks like spam, or an ad. It is not...

New Mexico Republicans refuse to certify election because it doesn't feel right

Just heard this headline on Dean Obedeillah‘s show on XM, I can’t correct the spelling his name right now but those of you who are familiar with him know who I’m talking about.

You might say it’s ridiculous for them to just refuse to certify elections and it is but some of us have been WARNING about this for a very long time hoping someone in the party on national television would shake things up and get peoples attention before this becomes normal.

I can’t get the story link here right now maybe someone else can please or start a new thread about it. Wait. Found it

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/jun/15/republican-commission-refuses-certify-new-mexico-primary-vote

Figure we have a problem now?

Maybe having a high profile dem go on natl tv and use the F word to get attention isnt RIDICULOUS after all.
