Fuck off, Missouri. You don’t get to interfere with another state’s internal judicial procedures and it’s outrageous of you to try.

The Missouri AG ought to be ejected for this ridiculously basic gross incompetence.

The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization and an existential threat to the United States that must be destroyed.

Obligatory reminder: Monopoly is deliberately intended to be un-fun because it was designed by Georgists to teach about the evils of rentiership and land-hoarding.

The square that is today labeled “collect $200 salary as you pass” was originally labeled “Labor applied to Land produces Wages.”

This is similar reasoning to how it’s always been obvious to me that the “being gay is a choice” argument bigots make is complete bullshit. If it were a choice, who the fuck would willingly submit themselves to all that discrimination and suffering?!

I know nothing about metal music, but I can only assume that “Party Cannon” is the darkest and hardest of them all.

“No means no” means “no means no.” You don’t get to have it both ways!

Look, lady, we went through decades of the women’s lib movement to finally get guys to respect your wishes and quit harassing you with unwanted advances. But now you expect us to be clairvoyant or some shit when you say “no” but don’t really mean it?!

Fuck that! You get respected whether you like it or not.

(Uplifting because a bigot got the consequences he deserved, not because the whiny piece of shit sued over it.)

Ironically, Biden assassinating him would be cool and legal according to SCOTUS.

As bad as this is, it’s only one small part of the MAGA cult’s strategy to steal the election. They’re not “just” trying to invalidate voter registrations or discourage people from casting ballots; they’re also trying to stop the votes that do manage to be cast from being counted and validated.

  • There are no less than 70 election deniers working as county election officials in key swing states.

  • Georgia’s MAGA-controlled elections board is about to approve a rule requiring that any discrepancy between the number of people who voted and a hand count of the number of ballots cast be “investigated” indefinitely – which means a MAGA poll worker could singlehandedly sabotage the entire precinct’s result reporting simply by “accidentally” miscounting.

  • They’re recruiting 100,000 poll “observers” to be in a position to disrupt and sabotage the vote counting nationwide.

  • Preventing states from certifying their votes opens up all sorts of avenues for Trump to steal the Presidency, ranging from being declared the winner by SCOTUS a la Bush v. Gore in 2000, to prevent Congress from certifying the results a la Jan 6, to – and this is the one I think they’re going for this time – keeping both candidates below 270 EC votes, which throws the decision to a House vote with one vote per state, which would obviously result in low-population MAGA states thwarting the will of the vast majority of the population.

There’s a reason why Trump keeps telling his supporters that they won’t have to vote anymore and the Project 2025 ghouls are saying that “we are in the process of a second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be”: because they are 100% all-in on destroying free and fair elections in this country.

Voting is more essential than ever, but it also will not be enough. Even a landslide for Kamala isn’t enough if the states refuse to acknowledge the reality of it! We (and by “we” I mean every American who isn’t an outright democracy-hating traitor, regardless of how you feel about Kamala’s policy platform) need to figure out some direct countermeasures to the MAGA fascists’ schemes and mobilize to implement them – fast. Otherwise, we’re gonna win the popular vote and the Electoral College vote – at least in factual reality, as confirmed long after the fact – but Trump is gonna be coronated as a dictator anyway.

Trump, you traitorous dipshit, you have personally done more to move the US towards “third world” status – by threatening to withdraw from NATO – than literally any other person in history!
