A lot of good points on both sides here. I think we can all agree that if republicans had exactly the amount of power dems have right now, they'd be doing whatever the fuck they want and nobody would stop them. That is a major source of frustration for non-republicans. But also, the democratic...

It's a floor, not a ceiling. And the reason for having a federal one is so that people in - let's just say it - red states, are not at the mercy of their state legislators. States like Georgia, where they're currently working on laws making it illegal to give water to people standing in line to...

2 sides to the story:

So you think an argument can be made for someone having a full time job and still living below poverty? Even if she did "just disagree with the policy," there's no excuse for the way she made a show of giving that thumbs down. (Perhaps unless she's so misguided she thought she was emulating...

If anyone hasn't seen it, here is the vid of sinema's thumbs down to raising minimum wage. It clearly shows her walking in, giving mcconnell a pat on the back and sharing words with him before her flamboyant act. When asked about this, her office responded by saying Commentary about a female...

OK, the republican party is mostly the problem. The rest of the problem is cunts like these.

So, news of trump's second inauguration hasn't made it down to Oz yet, but I did come across this pic of his second inauguration crowd. Looks to be a similar size to the first...

Here's some perspective on it.

Georgia is in the process of passing laws - GA HB531 - that make it illegal to provide food or water to people standing in line waiting to vote, among other things. Are there really people out there who don't think republicans are straight up movie villains? Bad guys this bad in a fucking...

Abbott is pre-emptively setting up to pin all the new covid cases on Biden:

It's exhausting and it's difficult to even know what anyone else wants to talk about anymore. Used to be you'd catch them in some lie, or hypocrisy, regardless of which side they were, you'd point it out victoriously and they would try to defend or excuse the actions of their side. But now it's...

Couple more, because when you're talking about the shittiness of republicans, there is no end to the material.

And a bit of Borowitz satire, though it's really hard to tell anymore.

Doesn't this look an awful lot like terrorism achieving its goals???

Or we are the only two who have chased the squirrel. While we're talking about potato heads and kids books, republicans are passing voter suppression laws all over the country, blocking assistance to desperate Americans, and just generally being shitty, racist, anti-democratic assholes. Nobody...

I think the outrage is stupid. Nobody who actually plays with a potato head cares what gender it is, they'll make it whatever they want. And nobody is having their quality of life affected by 6 of the 63 Dr Seuss books going out of print. Far right snowflakes just love playing the victim.

I didn't really have much info when I posted this morning, got out of bed and had to get to work and the world was in an uproar over Dr Seuss getting cancelled, so i just chucked up some shit that seemed relevant. That long one that came out tiny is a thread pointing out that those books haven't...

Just came across these after posting in this thread. Sorry for the longness, but it's pretty relevant. Edit: not sure how to make this better and no time to figure out, gotta run. Download it, it's worth a look. And some (believe it or not) Dr Seuss pics from long ago...

Funny how the more educated people get, the less likely they are to lean right. So much of the outrage about cancel culture is just snowflakes being snowflakes with no good reason. A good example is Australia day, which is on the date of the landing of the first fleet, which indigenous...

...whether the Voting Rights Act bars state voting requirements that disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color without adequate legal justification. Well that just says it all. "Yeah, we know it's racist, but it's legal!"

ted cruz realizes he has no credit left to lose and makes an idiot of himself at Merrick Garland's hearing:

The decision by Mr. Biden, who during the 2020 campaign called Saudi Arabia a “pariah” state with “no redeeming social value,” came after weeks of debate in which his newly formed national security team advised him that there was no way to formally bar the heir to the Saudi crown from entering...

Man, you kinda have to hand it to them for using trump derangement syndrome on us first, because that right there is fucking trump derangement syndrome if ever I've seen it.

I've been quoting that one for about a decade, and it hasn't become any less relevant.

North Dakota senate just passed a bill to withhold the vote counts of presidential elections from the public until after the electoral college meets. GQP platform in 3 words: Democracy is bad.

Yeah, I came to the states a young, arrogant, mildly right wing man, and living there turned me into a democratic socialist, believe it or not. I fully expected to be a republican. There is a fight happening. I think it's going to take a long time, and there is plenty of work that can be done...

I have no idea if Jeff Tiedrich does anything other than tweet things, but I have a lot of his stuff on my phone too.

Assuming there even are polls in your area. There's only so much the poorest people can do. When voter ID laws are passed and then every DMV for 100 miles is shut down, what's an unemployed person supposed to do? It's so fucking infuriating that it's the same fight they thought they won 50 years...

Can't let people forget about this.

You would think so, but they've had no trouble publicly embracing nazism, so who knows what they believe or care about any more? I'm reluctant to get my hopes up. After every single presidential election it seems like the losing party has an identity crisis and factional in-fighting and is on...

Good to see some companies showing that capitalism can work without crushing the low-born. There are more out there. We should help them however we can. This is the support and momentum the side of sanity needs. Full pressure on the extreme right, authoritarianism, and runaway capitalism. The...

This line reminded me of something I heard on the news radio today that went something along the lines of "the first week of vaccination in Australia has gone reasonably smoothly, EU leaders are gathered to discuss how they can improve their rollout, while the USA is still struggling to convince...

The inclusion of the expletive in the title was primarily motivated by my sense of exasperation that it had taken us so long to dedicate a thread to the most promising future leader of the USA in my opinion.

And remember, to stephen miller, there's no greater insult than "you're black".

Hahahaha, I don't even mind watching republicans repeatedly lining up to suck the flaccid orange dick. So mcconnell tried to have a spine and admit that trump was responsible for the failed coup, then trump removed it with a sternly worded letter, and now mcconnell is licking the boots again...

Same bullshit happens in Australia, to an extent. A report was released a while back saying there were so many billions in additional savings after last year and our treasurer tried to claim it was proof that there's no need for additional assistance anymore. Just one of the many problems with...

This guy in particular: He said this in a press release on his own website, along with a whole bunch of other bullshit detailing how the trump admin did such an amazing job of saving America that there's nothing left for the government to do. Couple of topical fun ones: Maybe not so much...

Unless Biden fucks up on a scale comparable to trump's presidency (effectively impossible), I don't think trump could ever win another presidential election. Sure, the public has a short collective memory, but not that short, and not for all the bullshit he's done and tried. I know optimism is...

The #eyegouger has been arrested. Former marine, former NYPD, former patriot probably, before he betrayed his nation. Was caught on video eye gouging a capitol cop, beating a cop with a flag pole, and ripping off the mask of a cop. Was heard calling the cop he was beating a "fucking piece of...
