How would that work, logistically? Would my kid have to go to a different school than my neighbor with the Youngkin sign?

made me puke on my computer when I saw that
really is absolutely insane, I think even worse than starskys examples (not that those aren't outrageous)
Ashlie is 100% a terroist/criminal and died not complying with a clear warning from a federal officer in an attack on the fuckin' Capitol…
It shocks me that we live in a time where a former president would side with the terroist and not the federal officer!!
another fucked up thing Team trump is doing… endorsing Secretaries of State..ya know pretty bureaucratic type of position that most people wouldn't be able to name their current states SoS…but this is so when there are a few states where he can find some votes…he put that person in power and likely expect a little Quidproquo

White Privilege, even in jail
i'm confused by that story… i get the impression the judge is describing more than just the one instance of the inmate not getting wrist surgery, he's alleging widespread violations of civil rights.. or is he? what are these violations? are the 1/6 inmates being treated unfairly, or not? is the story here that a white judge is "coming to the rescue" of the 1/6 defendants because they're also white (implication: if the defendants were non-white, they would have a judge advocating for them)?

It usually takes years, even decades, of abuse to get Feds to look at jail conditions. These insurrectionist Karens are discovering that jail sucks and they've demanded to speak to the manager.

Most Americans think the price of gas being $4 a gallon is a more important issue than January 6, right?

well they do, not even hard core MAGA's feel that way
but if I've said it 1000 times, here is once more, the POTUS has almost zero impact on the price at the pump
seen idiots posting pics of them putting a 'biden: I did this' sticker on gas pumps and it's getting on my last nerve

along the lines of mentality that blames biden for gas prices, i saw this and had to find out what this new "Let's Go Brandon" was all about…
it's a dumb as one would think it is.

Ever run into someone you were friends with in high school and they haven't changed a single thing about themselves? Like they doubled-down on every childish, embarrassing trait you grew out of? That's everyone in the Republican Party now. Just proudly immature dipshits.

Why is mainstream media ignoring this story? Several members of Congress were involved in planning 1/6. That seems like it should make the headlines.

not sure why you're saying this… was on the front page of NYT, WaPo and CNN. perhaps they should have been making an even bigger deal about this - shouting it in 72-point font instead of just another headline - but i haven't seen any evidence of mainstream news completely ignoring this story. i wouldn't be surprised if news sources on the right ignored this story, but i don't read those so can't confirm.

agree with sweets…it's been mentioned, but it's kninda the 'no duh' files

it'a fatigue. there is no bottom with these people, so whenever the news has us going lower and lower, we just shrug. "of course they did <insert latest scandal>, we knew that all along." we've lost the ability to be outraged at trump & co.

audience member asks…when do we start to get using the guns on the other side
https://deadstate.org/audience-member-to-charlie-kirk-when-do-we-get-to-start-using-guns-to-kill-these-people/Actual quote from a TPUSA event last night: “When do we get to use the guns? … That's not a joke. I'm not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where's the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”
this is getting scary…
at least Charlie 'the idiot' kirk says we need to exhaust all non-violent means first
although didn't really get any better with the next question stating that more are being hurt by the vax and it's 'under reported'
