Calling all Virginia DU'ers

Youngkin wants an abortion ban if Republicans win next week. You know what to do.

It's bad, but not the end of the world

The cult is getting louder, worse for America, more embarrassing, more sickening and they’ve forced someone truly repulsive on us to be Speaker for the next year.

But this is not permanent. We will get through this, and Speaker Jeffries will happen the next time we win.

It’s just a never-ending battle we have to keep fighting. We stay in this, we will win. MAGA is a cancer, but we don’t have to succumb to it.

This is dumb even by Bobo standards

‘Boebert on why they can’t elect a Speaker: “There are 224 alpha males and alpha females who are here in the Republican Party. We are here because we convinced hundred of thousands of people that we are leaders.”’

I mean, how is it when their party or our side had the House in previous years, there wasn’t this problem?

If everybody in your party in the House is a leader, why can’t you govern your way out of a paper bag?

Report: Murder suspect listened to RW talk radio

https://chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2023/10/16/23919242/jospeh-czuba-plainfield-stabbing-palestinian-boy-wadea-al-fayoume-hate-crime

———Snip

‘Prosecutors say a Chicago-area man had been listening to conservative talk radio about the Israel-Hamas war and became increasingly concerned about his Muslim tenants before he confronted them on Saturday, fatally stabbing a 6-year-old Palestinian boy and badly wounding his mother.

Joseph Czuba, 71. appeared in Will County court Monday morning in a red jumpsuit and with matted hair, two days after he allegedly confronted the boy’s mother, Hanaan Shahin, and killed her son, Wadea Al-Fayoume.’

With all the culture wars nonsense, I’d been thinking about Islamaphobia being on the back burner in this country. I see that’s changed.

R.I.P. to that little boy, hope the mother makes a recovery.

This is what their rhetoric begets.

Happy Birthday to my favorite president

Lyndon Johnson, born 115 years ago today, August 27, 1908, my hero, outstanding president even despite the Vietnam debacle, wish I could’ve met him. I have him as a top five president of all time and wish we could have a social agenda like that pushed today.

Could they be any less subtle? Maybe a warning

This far-right ‘activist’ comes full out in her blatant racism and bigotry.

‘There are great immigrants who love America and want to be a part of it.

These migrants need to take one for the team and all accept this, because the bad migrants that hate America outnumber them and are driving our country into the ground.

I’m a woman who would rather repeal the 19th amendment than lose my constitutional rights because female voters are overwhelmingly voting my country away.’

Uh, you would be losing your constitutional rights if you repeal the 19th Amendment.

Also, what is your ‘country?’ Where it’s racist, bigoted, theocratic with backwards ideas? Yeah, people *do* want to vote that country away and we want a more inclusive and loving America where people just go about their own business instead of trying to hurt others.

Also, what makes Judge Tanya a bad judge anyway? That she looks different? That she isn’t partisan towards him?

I know President Biden gets a lot of hate, but I seem to remember President Obama being hated more by the other side. I wonder why.

This ‘person’ also is against Vivek - not because of him wanting to suppress younger voters with a civics test, but because of how he looks and said, ‘I’ll pass on President HB-1’ and said it’s ‘devastating’ that Gen. Z is the last generation where white Americans are the majority.

They show me who they are, I believe them.

Let them cry a river full of tears longer than the Amazon. Do not move this case out of DC, no matter what.

Cue the Price is Right Fail Horn

Ben Shapiro: “My prediction: [Barbie] is just absolutely going to fall off a cliff after [week one]. The repeat business on this movie is going to be nonexistent.”

I know there’s no ‘L’ in Ben or Shapiro, but he should it anyway. I hope he’s big time triggered by the success Barbie is pulling in.

Also, he melted down over Cardi B., Harry Styles wearing a dress, Little Mermaid and was very cocky about a red wave happening.

Aren't I too young for this?

If you're a fan of the Lethal Weapon movies, you'll know Murtaugh's catch phrase, "I'm too old for this (expletive)."

Well, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum, at almost 32, I'm too young for this (expletive).

So, what exactly is it? An x-ray I had this week confirmed what I've known for some time about my scoliosis and curvature in my spine, but the back pain has been very intense recently, and I've had soreness/pain in my buttocks that isn't going away. It hurts to get out of bed, get out of chairs, to sit down, takes a lot of effort to get up. I'm taking different medications now and getting different relief. There's even been tingling in the back of my legs.

I was talking with a relative last night who wonders if the burnout from my job is contributing to my pain and if it's stress related.

I'm supposed to have an MRI a week from tomorrow, could be a candidate for surgery or not, but an MRI would give me more detail on what's going on than an x-ray would.

It hurts to even bend over, to crouch down, to hug a loved one or to lean over and wash my hands over a sink.

I've got a few extra pounds on me, but I'm not morbidly obese.

To paraphrase Roger Murtaugh: I'm too young for this (expletive).

Devon Archer rejects right-wing conspiracy

https://twitter.com/meidastouch/status/1687107037073932289?s=46&t=TEkGdOYblbsNDtM5BiaFTQ

‘Mr. Schwartz: Are you aware of any wrongdoing by Vice President Biden?’

‘Mr. Archer: No, I’m not aware of any.’

‘Q: So, based on everything you saw, heard and observed, did you have any knowledge of Joe Biden having any involvement with Burisma?’

‘A: No — not direct, no.’

‘Q: No involvement of Joe…’

‘A: No.’

‘Q: ——Biden with Burisma.’

‘A: No. My only thought is that I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it. That’s my, like, only honest opinion.’

So, there are two possibilities.

A: Devon Archer perjured himself.

Or, more likely B: Republicans have to go back to the drawing board because *this* their star witness they’ve been touting, gave them a reality check and their attempts to try and find a crime to distract from the indictments are failing miserably.

Give him NOTHING

‘I have called for a FEDERAL TAKEOVER in order to bring our Capital back to Greatness.’

He can’t help himself. He keeps trying to shoot off on media, *and* their side wants to move the trial away from DC.

No, DC is where he’s accused of committing crimes, that’s where he should stand trial. That’s how it goes for us, that’s how it should go for anybody else.

He’s entitled to a fair trial, not a partial trial.

Do not cave in to any of his tactics or his threats or rhetoric.
