Sovereign Immunity is often misapplied and used to keep you from suing them too.

There’s plenty of crimes being committed here.

No. Trump is saying that political violence against the left is justified. He’s a fucking monster.

I have no empathy for him.

But his children lost their Dad. Kids aren’t evil, and they don’t deserve to lose their parents. He may have seen empathy as a negative, but since I didn’t consider him a paragon of virtue, I value it.

I’m horrified about how his life ended, because I abhor violence. I feel deep sympathy for his family for losing someone they loved. I’m terrified about the future of our country and escalating political violence.

But all that being said, I can’t say I’m sad he’s dead. He caused unthinkable harm, and the world is better without him in it. But I do wish he’d died in a less-violent manner that wouldn’t be used to justify further violence. He died a martyr for fascists, and that’s terrifying.

They even admitted they could’ve interdicted the boat, but chose to kill them instead.

It was 100% absolutely, unquestionably a war crime.

And even if Trump is immune, the rest of those involved are NOT. Some of them are lawyering up, because war crimes can carry a death penalty.

I think it’s entirely possible to simultaneously be horrified by his murder, feel deep sympathy for his family, and be glad he’s no longer in the world.

It’s also a really slippery slope when the justice department can blanket declare entire swaths of people mentally ill. Soon, anyone who doesn’t vote would be banned from owning firearms due to their “Trump Derangement Syndrome” being classified as mental illness.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Liberals need to consider arming themselves while they still can. Guns have caused a lot of harm, but right now 90% of the guns are owned by the fascists. I’m hoping I never need guns, but I know I don’t want to find out I need them after I can’t get them.

As much as I hate her, I think she may legitimately care deeply about this topic and justice for the victims.

She may be a batshit conspiracy theorist, but when it seems there really is a cabal of powerful pedophiles at the highest level of government, we can throw her a bone.

They have other sources for organs.

No, but they can defund Trump and stop confirming his appointments.

David defeated Goliath with state-of-the art weaponry.

Don’t Quixote wakes up on his deathbed disillusioned about his insanity, rejects chivalry and all the harm he’s caused pursuing it, and declares that his neice will be disinherrited if she marries someone who reads of chivalry.

The good news is that the Senate is vulnerable to flipping. 22 of the 35 seats up for election are currently held by Republicans, and only 13 by Democrats. Dems only need 4 seats to flip the Senate, and Senate races aren’t vulnerable to gerrymandering.

The bad news is that this is the Senate class that was elected in 2020, so the Republicans up for election aren’t extremely vulnerable since they all survived a fairly blue election cycle.

And dental insurance SUCKS.

I had a dental plan at an old job that was 24 dollars a pay period, and the annual coverage limit was $500.

in most states, you have to register with one party or the other for primaries, so you can only vote in one primary. But in the general election, you aren’t required to cast a ballot for the party for which you’re registered.

It’s simple.

Vote for the Democratic nominee against the GOP in the general election.

If you live somewhere the Dems tend to win elections, vote in the Democratic primaries to change the party little by little.

If you live somewhere the GOP tends to win, vote in the GOP primaries to try and at least get rid of the MAGA Republicans and THEN vote for the Democratic candidate in the general election.

It really depends on where you live. Your primary vote is meaningless if that party can’t win in the general election.

I’m in Texas where they do everything they can, legally and otherwise, to supress the Democratic vote. So I do vote in Republican primaries against MAGA Republicans.

If you live somewhere the Democrats win elections, then you need to vote in Democratic primaries.

Sure would be nice to be privileged enough to be able to relocate myself and my family.

Yes and yes.

Also, you tell the Dems how to act by changing out its leadership through more and more primaries.

That rule existed through many, many Democratic governors. Texas’s famous redness is a recent phenomenon.

2003 was the first time that the GOP EVER had control of the Texas legislature. And in 2003, they changed voting requirements and gerrymandered the shit out of the state mid-cycle, leading the Democrats to flee the state (sound familiar).

Texas had never had a majority Republican delegation to the US House before the 2003 redistricting. In the 2004 mid-terms, the GOP won over 2/3rds of the seats.

Texas isn’t very red. It’s just that the GOP legitimately won a single election in 2002 and rigged the game ever since. That’s why you must ALWAYS vote against the GOP in the general election, no matter how mediocre the Democratic candidate is.
