I fail to see any logic with anyone interviewed. They knew things would be worse for Palestine and Lebanon with the donvict, they know they personally may face hardship as a consequence of the election. They know they were duped.
But they wanted to punish Democrats and Harris particularly. Does that satisfaction make the rest of the shit sandwich taste good?
Take heart. Our fellow citizens are slow learners, and few of them have paid close attention to Trump and his shit forsaken privilege in escaping consequences since he left office.
It will be a long wait, but four years of unbridled trump will open a lot of eyes. Let them get a healthy, sustained dose of exactly what they didn’t realize they asked for and then we rebuild.
And don’t give away the House like that. It’s not over yet, and with any luck that guardrail will remain.
Harris had a good start, but she never built on it. She stuck to her talking points and Trump will be worse rhetoric. That’s enough for many of us, but the majority need to be swept away by sensation.
She didn’t humanize herself enough, didn’t show the world who she is. She’s a private, guarded person (as much as a high profile politician can be) and a lot of people think that makes her unlikable. Unfortunately presidential candidates need to be well liked to succeed.
Mmmhmm, the old Roseanne excuse. Didn’t stop her getting fired.

Trump is a Christian charlatan, anyone can see that.
In the face of overwhelming evidence against the fables in their book, even a charlatan offers comfort that they’re still special, still virtuous and righteous.
It’s a sad state of affairs for people who are willfully ignorant, terrified they might not be as special as they think.
I can attest to you being half right based on my two Puerto Rican coworkers, both Trumpers.
One rationalized his choice by saying two things (paraphrasing his words):
Puerto Ricans have the same trash sentiment about Dominicans and aren’t shy about it. So since they dish it out, they should be able to take it.
He decided Puerto Rico is trash because the government is corrupt and pockets all the US federal funding.
It didn’t bother him that Tony Hinchcliffe, or Trump’s campaign at large has no place saying these things.
The other coworker has changed his mind and is NOT ok with the comments. It may be too late since he probably already voted; I’m not going to ask him.
He meant to take it up with the other FEC, Fuckheads Escaping to Cancún
Does corporate not make money from franchises? Honest question because I thought it worked that way.
Ah yes, damage control. You chose this, Mickey D’s, now would a sales slump ‘resonate’ with your shareholder clowns?
He wants consequences but he doesn’t. Knows J6 was wrong, had the power and influence to do something about it, but shrank into his shell. Knows Trump should be out of the picture, yet endorsed him. Party loyalty above justice and country.
As he continues to shrivel I hope he feels nothing but disgrace and despair about his life.
There’s a lot of hype around calling this a trove and playing up Trump’s resistance to having it released. Surely there’s something damning in there, right?
Indeed. Scrap electoral college and remove the arbitrary cap on House reps.
Well put. Without the social media lies this country would be very different. I really hope education will develop that imparts critical thinking/warns of the consequences of sensationalism. But even with that, people have to want to learn.
Good, let the hate flow through you
I see the logic in what you’re saying.
But I’ve also seen some worry that if Trump loses (and he damn well better lose), when the CR expires about a month before Harris’ inauguration, this possibly leads to government gridlock, thereby emboldening another January 6 attempt.
Personally I expect another J6 whether the government is funded or not, but I’d feel better about things if it was funded.
Look, the important thing here is for Johnson to maintain his true-orange loyalty status. He would never let trivial matters like government funding get in the way of that.
Is there anything to this, or is it just a hail mary?

Ok moron, now warn Gaetz not to withdraw. We all know you don’t want him to pull out anyway
