Doesn’t matter if it was bullshit or not. As long as soccer has such poor rules it will always happen and always be considered a 2nd rate sport except to those that have zero other sports.

Ignore the courts and start arresting and prosecuting USPS management and staff for election interference. When the Feds ask to move their cases to federal court, refuse citing clear conflicts of interest and wide spread corruption.

I actually think a system that is ejecting leaders at such a rate is a failed system going through its own issues. The US system failing doesn't mean the UK system isn't also failing.

Mostly people who don’t live and vote in California are saying it’s a problem, and they can all go fuck themselves. We’ll manage our elections however we see fit in a manner that lets people vote. If republicans in California want to boycott the elections, they’re welcome to go ahead.

You will absolutely see a "lefties for Collins" type of campaign as we get closer to the general. Some will be "don't vote" types and some will go the full nine yards to try and convince you Collins is better and you should vote for her.

Nothing says "vote for us to save democracy" like forcibly removing the choice people wanted and forcing in someone no one asked for. It worked great for Kamala.

Republicans and conservatives in general will never accept another election loss. Even if they got their IDs and other shit they would just move the goal post. Suddenly the IDs will be "fake" and "rigged" if they still somehow kept losing. The only thing that will placate them is 100% victory.

I am not looking forward to the horse race shit in CA over the next several months where people insist MAGA will win the governor and LA mayor because...I dunno...they thought the primaries were general elections? It's genuinely frustrating.

Kamala won, and we are paying the price for not contesting the fact.

I noticed during the pandemic that people most likely to mask, distance, etc. were those people who were already comfortable with discomfort. They'd learned to grieve, or live with a disability, or been marginalised in some way. The people who didn't know how to process discomfort screamed.

Should have done what GOP'ers do, just ignored the ruling.

They should use it anyway and Spanberger should have the Virginia Supreme Court rounded up.

Just force it through anyway. We’re in a post-law country. What’s the court gonna do about it? I’m exhausted playing by one set of rules while the fascists don’t adhere to any.

virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

Ignore the court like Republicans do when the courts tell them thst their maps aren't allowed.

Virginia should tell the court to take a flying leap and ignore the ruling. That's what the other side has been doing.

Yep. It's well past time for lawmakers to completly ignore the rulings of corrupt right-wing Supreme Courts. Supreme Courts have no enforcement powers, and in essence are nothing more than advisors issuing guidelines that historically have been adhered to. Time for that precedent to be abandoned.

shit advice like this frustrates me because it is not how most humans learn to do anything I didn't learn how to make my own PCBs by cracking open "The Art of Electronics" and reading it cover to cover. I did it by cribbing schematics off of other people so I could make LEDs blink.

"You cant be Civil with fascists." Is why it's legit to spread rumors about the WHCD incident being staged. Whether it was or not is besides the point. The resistance must use the opposition's own strategy to deflect & obfuscate by flooding the zone with shit (per Steve Bannon's directive).

Judicial review is not in the constitution. High courts shouldn’t have the right to veto acts of Congress. The country could have a high court that consults on the constitutionality of laws Congress is considering. But, we shouldn’t have another veto over what the people voted for.

I am firmly in the camp of "turnabout is fair play". He said Ilhan Omar staged the guy who actually managed to attack her. Fuck him. Doesnt matter whats true. It only matters if "people are talkin' about it".

"YOU WILL REGRET THIS" Sim city energy.

I'd consider this valid if WWE would stop invading actual real sports channels like ESPN and denying their reporters credentials. Back to USA Network ye go.

El Salvador.

Sorry but this wrong. The 25th ammendment was written with the assassination of JFK in mind. The IMPEACHMENT clauses of the original constitution were written with Donald Trump in mind. And impeachment is, in the current case, a lower bar to hurdle.

My opinion is if CA goes GOP vs GOP for governor, the election will be extremely low in participation in CA for dems and a lot of dems won't bother filling out their ballots. Having no one to vote for for governor will severely depress turn out to a degree that could cost dems the house.

Quick question: If the world is horrified by Trumps tweet, why is no one threatening the US if they go through? France can't sanction the US? Countries refuse to use their power against the US.

Hegseth told me Iran keeps shooting down aircraft so I asked how many planes does he have and he said he just goes to INDOPACOM to get more planes so I said sounds like he’s just feeding INDOPACOM airframes to Iran and then a female officer started crying so he fired her.

I am fucking sick and tired of people rationalizing away the behavior of the U.S. military when every fucking piece of news about them in 2026 is either a war crime or crime against humanity. For a class of people celebrated as the bravest, they’re mostly either outright evil or cowards.

There's over 50k TSA and under 40k ICE btw

One of the things I hate with ICE discussions these days is how ICE is treated like a nebulous group with infinity people. The way people discuss ICE, you'd think they employ well over 1 million agents. Here's some fun info: There's almost twice as many TSA as ICE from the data I can find

Love that the top trending is "AO3 down" and then I have to try to figure out what the hell AO3 means. And then it turns out it is just that fanfic site that allows porn.

It's kind of funny this apparent massive mid east war cannot beat THE BRIT AWARDS on fucking bsky

I must have missed when they ruled all laws giving tariff power to the president are illegal and invalid. Because that wasn't even part of the suit.

Important note What SCOTUS said: You cannot use this law you are citing to do unlimited tariffs What SCOTUS did not say: All laws on the book that explicitly give the president tariff power are hereby invalid. This is why he is doing 15%. Because he is using another law.

It would be nice if people who oppose Trump stop telling everyone there will not be an election. Trump won because 7 million people didn’t vote. Telling them the election won’t happen only benefits MAGA. States run elections, not Fat Satan.

If you think Gavin Newsome has a shot in hell at the presidency you are huffing the purest copium.

BSky needs to do something about the spam here. SAVE America Act is trending 1 and it is ALL spam of different accounts reposting identical messages.

I love how many conspiracy theories fall apart when you start talking about logistics

Once again asking literally anyone to think through the first-, second-, and third-order logistics of how midterm election stealing would supposedly happen

Please listen to every Californian telling you Gavin Newsom is a terrible choice and you should not anoint him the Democratic nominee for 2028. The only thing Gavin Newsom actually cares about is Gavin Newsom. He will sacrifice anyone and anything you care about for his political ambitions.

If you are afraid of protest in this way then you shouldn't be doing it. You also don't win the hearts of the people by acting like black bloc types.

It is funny to me that all the people spamming "I HAVEN'T FORGOT ABOUT EPSTEIN. EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN" all over has actually made it more difficult to find posts on the release of the new batch. Because a search for "Epstein files" gives you tons of "DON'T GET DISTRACTED" tier crap.

That would take like months. I think some of you need to look at a map.

The dem vote in 2026 will be heavily suppressed by brain dead people who have convinced themselves "there will be no elections" Why help campaign for your candidate or phone bank or go to door if "the elections won't happen"? Why donate if "elections won't happen?" Trump's most successful psy-op.

The president can do a lot of terrible things at any given time, but the president cannot cancel midterm elections by saying that he doesn't like them in Newsweek. It's really important to remember that, and many other things.

Elections are NOT put on hold by the insurrection act, or martial law. During the Civil War, elections continued where they could. Simply invoking these powers does NOT halt elections. That is a misunderstood belief not rooted in the language of the law.

"They're going to suspend elections" is doomer bullshit that I'm blocking on site.

There aren't enough thugs. "But Minneapolis" Minneapolis is 18 times smaller than NYC
