After denial comes anger, Chuck. Join us.
Chuck Schumer just told CNN, in the wake of Kimmel’s suspension, that “we are not that country.”
Alas we are, now. Maybe not forever. But now.

No.
"Resign, Chuck, and let someone who knows how to fight take your place."
Quoting Cromwell:
"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."

Russians have started doing pet vaccine tourism to Belarus to get western vaccines and medication that are no longer imported in Russia. The wait time is now 3 months. One additional factor is that a Russian produced vaccine recently killed over 300 dogs due to a virus in it.

Alito attended Princeton before I was even alive but I’m pretty confident that “counting“ was something we taught back then too
i'm not over Alito saying we shouldn't count ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day but arrive shortly afterwards bc they can “radically flip” the “apparent outcome”
cannot stress enough that, until all ballots are counted, there's no outcome to flip!

Love the passive "get ripped down." Let's put that into normal English. Trump says if he can't get his name on the Kennedy Center, he will tear it down.
This man is entirely fecal. There is nothing about him or his works that isn't utterly shit. And we elected him to lead our nation twice.

I wonder if it's JFK envy, or alternatively he wants his name on *every* gummint building.

I feel like we are so used to living in a time of madness that we can't grasp just how insane the Kennedy Center dispute is. Trump took something that was running just fine and destroyed it because he couldn't put his name next to the murdered president whose memorial it is. That's completely nuts.
