I went down a 2-day rabbit hole about how the 2004 election was stolen. Anyone want to join me or is this too old to be interesting? Please. I need to live in a world where we didn't elect W twice. We didn't really elect him in 2000 either. I remember that debacle quite clearly.

Would that someone would pay me exorbitant sums of money just to read through 14+ year old conspiracy theories on the internet, so I didn't have to go to work or all the other stuff that interferes with my tinfoil hat life. If you find a way to get paid to do politics on the Internet, LMK lol

What do you think's going to happen? SHS is just going to chastise everyone for characterizing Trump as caving? She'll probably bring Nielsen or someone else related to national security to talk about how bad things are at the border, how dare the Democrats not care about how bad things are at the border, and that Trump didn't cave, he just cares about the American people and wanted to make sure they got paid while the Democrats don't do anything about how bad things are at the border. And then leave without taking questions.

McCarthy names appointees to bipartisan border control committee needed to avert another shutdown on 2/15: They're all deep red staters. Shocked. Wait! Did they not include the guy who has the most miles of border in his district?? Sham. Right. He knows what he is talking about and is actually quite reasonable so why would we want him to help form policy. I'm actually kinda pissed for him even though I voted against him.

Oh, yikes. Dem KY SOS was using access to voter databases to research job applicants and political opponents. 😬😬 This is downright horrifying.

Jesus Christ:
Trump spouts figures about how much illegal immigration costs the US. HHSC says they're pure BS and not to believe him.

This is my last tinfoil hat post of the day, I swear. This doesn't seem to tin foil hatty to me. If I were a bad guy intent on doing bad things, I would want not only the info on the people I'm trying to hurt, but also the info on the people who will benefit from my actions, even if them benefitting is only a side product and not the true intention.

I watched the CNN movie about RBG this weekend and it was good. She’s such a badass, and I had no idea how much of my rights as a woman today really was because of her works.

I know it isn't funny, but it is also a little funny, because you know he doesn't give a shit about the bible.
