    it’s the age of grifting and unfortunately she’s kind of winning, Dems spend so much time calling Reps idiots but reps are making a killing with their grifts, breaking the law and getting away with it

      Dems spend so much time callong Reps idiot

      And so little time holding them accountable for deliberately misleading the people. You need to do both.

      Then again, who am I kidding? The Dem community won’t even hold THEMSELVES accountable after throwing away all sections of the federal government to fascists by insisting on the 1992 playbook again, they’re hardly going to start doing accountability NOW…

        They can’t even stick to their own rhetoric. Dem commentators calling Trump Hitler and then going out golfing with him is everything wrong with the party and media.

        I fear 2028 is going to be Dems deciding that they were just too “woke” and running Liz Cheney for president.

          I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety.

          Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

            It has happened here I’m afraid. Listen to this poster. Get armed and train. Take classes. If you’re in a big city there’s probably a SRA group to train with. If you’re not, like me, you’re probably going to be dealing with Trump people at the range. Just wear plain clothes and don’t talk politics. You don’t even have to lie, just say you didn’t like either of them.

            The code word I learned from Behind the Bastards is municipal libertarian. It basically means anarchist, but the Trump people love the word libertarian and assume you’re somewhat on their side.

            Oh! And you can get wound vac supplies for a little bit of money to put in your kit. You could save the life of someone hit by a bullet.

      Yes, winning in their rape and pillage of the country. I’m honestly completely over America if this is who our winners are and the majority of us want it.

    replace Democracts with Republicans and delete the second sentence, and it fits 1:1 to Republicunts as well.

    Margorie Taylor, the Weird

    One white and three black for a 3/0

    When Margorie Taylor, the Weird enters the battlefield discard a card.

    Whenever you discard a card, discard a card.

      I would have expected her to be one of those annoying un-set cards that make you irl get into a batshit crazy argument and ruin everyone’s night in order to tap the card for one mana of any colour.

      On the plus side it has she has bat synergy with some of the Bloomburrow cards.

    German guy here: What’s with the cult of personality around exceedingly unattractive and politically unappealing people? I’m asking for my grandfather.

    Brian Tyler Cohen is awesome, lol. His show is probably the highest production value political commentary on youtube outside of the mainstream news.
