US Politics, June 2018: This is a total goat rodeo.

and use it as a rallying point to try and take back the Senate, I guess

Every nominee should be targeted for assassination by antifa supersoldiers, if any are actually out there

yeah I asked in the other thread whether there was a realistic chance that kennedy's replacement could be appointed after midterms

god what an awful week this has been

thanks Justice Kennedy, that's the second or third time you've fucked america this week

Reid did not eliminate the nuclear option for Supreme Court justices - they were specifically excepted from the 2013 rule change. McConnell axed that when Dems filibustered on Gorsuch.

Right! Sorry.

wow did that immigration bill go down in flames

surprised the all-caps tweet didn't work

fuck u kennedy u fucking wiener

It’s really beyond time for everyone who has those conservative/racist relatives I’ve heard so much about to cut them out of their lives. And friends, bosses, children, coworkers. If you live in a Republican area, sacrifice your local ties and leave. Leave these fucking scum behind, they don’t get to enjoy your civil neighborliness anymore. Set fire to their lawns when you drive off.

John Roberts now the swing vote! Great news!

some good news

Seriously if you still talk to any Republicans I’m going to call you a Nazi sympathizer that’s just how it is at this point.

This is how the US becomes Gilead.

otm!

Anyone who has supervisory authority over anyone should start monitoring social media of their employees. Fire your Trumpists. Eat the lawsuits. It’s your responsibility.

Interesting, if true: Jeff Flake says he will block Trump's judicial nominees until there's a vote on tariffs

Hey, maybe let's all agree to make every moment a GOP elected official spends outside of their home an absolute miserable slog which forces them to rethink the wisdom of ever going into politics in the first place, whaddaya say, gang.

Flake said that before Kennedy retired though

xp

sounds good to me OL

Who do I talk to about getting involved in terrorism

Who do I talk to about getting involved in terrorism

No one. That's kinda how it works.

I don’t want to do unorganized terrorism. The 9/11 conspirators had a whole operation.

They knocked it out of the park

july: democrats encourage republicans to pick a justice "in the kennedy mold"
aug: trump nominates giuliani, democrats act betrayed
sep: democrats urge restraint, the gop invokes the nuclear option
oct: heitkamp votes to confirm
nov: heitkamp loses re-election anyway

Just hang loose until the fallout has time to start really affecting people's lives. This is the kind of shit that radicalizes fairweather political dilettantes. Take note, GOP!

we all recall the anti vietnam war group The Weatherman

I seriously am disgusted with people who are still listening to /associating with their trump supporting family members/friends too. I cut that shit off right at the holiday after the election. One woman who got mad at me about being a "purist" said she needed her parents for childcare and they really loved the children. I was like life's a bitch, I am sure they are traumatizing your children while you are at work. That is exactly how that shit rolls.

we all recall the anti vietnam war group The Weatherman

And the Baader-Meinhof person

i hate everything and i'm so angry

otm

i cant even work right now

It feels like an awful lot has been decided by smaller states with smaller impact on culture and the economy, by their countryside and by their suburbs.

Set fire to the suburbs

^^I had the same response when they got Doug Ford elected here and imo it's a solid international strategy

I think city people should really start using their economic impact to change things.

it feels like an awful lot has been decided by one fucking idiotic man by the name of anthony kennedy

so... with McCain out, McConnell's majority is just 50-49. Seems like next course of action is to pressure every potential swing vote (Dem and Rep) to vote "no", since Blobfish can't afford to lose, say, both Collins (who does legit care about Roe v. Wade iirc) and Flake without picking up Heitkamp or Manchin.

I would think the Constitutionality of many of Manbaby's actions loom large over the Senate but idk

Collins legit cares about a lot of things, but will always vote against them anyway

I see a lot of news sites talking about some Latina woman beating Crowley last night, this may be weird but she doesn't appear to have a name ?????

I'm all for annexing and bulldozing as many unincorporated single-family areas as possible but there's tons of single-family zoning inside city limits that needs to be bulldozed first

Oh, when I advocated upthread about relentlessly hounding all elected GOP officials every waking minute of every day? I should've specified that this continues even after they're out of office, until the day they finally kick the bucket. These motherfuckers don't get to just ride off into the sunset and enjoy a peaceful retirement. Hell no. Demonize and marginalize every single goddamn one of them.

so single-family homes are your scapegoat for US problems huh. Cool.

city-states or bust

I was thinking more about strikes and blocking key infrastructure and financial infrastructure and show the american public that the GOP's entire notion that they represent order is entirely false.

I mean also close down rural schools, ban private high school, ban homeschooling, re-educate the youth in the cities. Mandate robot farming.

Dem. Senator BLUMENTHAL: “The Senate should do nothing to artificially delay” consideration of next justice, but POTUS should take his time & make a centrist choice.

lol

For the sake of clarity, I would never propose escalation because the powerful usually wins escalations but at this point I would say it's self defence, the roll back on human rights is bound to be pretty nasty.
