Of all the I've seen, this one may be the most ridiculous yet.

Police claim that after one officer "touched a pill without gloves," somehow this caused multiple cops to lose consciousness requiring hospitalization for an overdose, and a nurse who treated one of the cops also was treated for an overdose.

The only thing these cops overdosed on was their own propaganda, causing them to have panic attacks.

Right? How come the people they pulled over in this traffic stop weren’t dead from driving around with it?

I sure wish Joe would start paying attention. I fear it may already be too late.

If democracy disappears next January, it will have come down to this, Biden's inability -- no, his stubborn and idiotic refusal -- to put the lives of the innocent first. And while Biden will have earned a defeat, the rest of us sure didn't.

On MSNBC just now, writer Andrew Rice said that while he was in court yesterday for #MichaelCohen’s direct, he could see over #Trump’s shoulder and Trump was editing the very remarks #MikeJohnson, #TommyTuberville, #VivekRamaswamy, et al ended up delivering outside the courthouse today. If true, that seems a very clear violation of the #GagOrder (“Making or directing others to make public statements…”).

Probably difficult to prove it unless you take Rice at his word, though.

A new analysis reveals how beginning in 2018, American began paying a lower tax rate than the working class. We can thank 's giant tax scam, and decades of policy catering to the ultra-rich.

"A coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich will not fix capitalism. But it is a necessary first step."

Voting Republicans out of office is necessary, too.

De-Fund Cure Research

"Republicans, refusing to give Biden a 'win,' voted against the [cancer research] funding. Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country."

Vote OUT every Republican! They are the cancer.

Lest anyone entertain the idea that a presidency would somehow be better for Palestinians: in addition to Trump saying has “gotta finish the problem” and keep bombarding (see up-thread), is already salivating over the profits he plans to extract from the Gaza Strip.

They’re ready to bulldoze Gaza and turn it into Trump hotels.

In , Michele Morrow, the ' choice for state school superintendent, has called for , , and other Democrats to be executed by firing squad. She appears to be a believer, using its slogan "WWG1WGA" and accusing various people of harvesting adrenochrome from babies.

Morrow's own kids are homeschooled, and she advocates dissolving the very public school system she's running to be in charge of.

"Republican U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann declared he would support Israel forever and declared 'Goodbye to Palestine'"

From Trump on down, are making it clear they fully support 's annihilation of to the bloody end. They don't want a two-state solution. They don't seek diplomacy. They aren't interested in negotiating hostage releases or a ceasefire. Republicans want extermination.

The man picked as their candidate for governor believes women shouldn't be allowed to vote. (He also believes a lot of other terrible things.)

This is where the Republican party stands. They must be utterly defeated.

Anyone thinking about voting for Trump because of Biden's support for Israel needs to understand that Trump isn't going to be better. He's going to be worse. On that and every issue.

Trump will back Netanyahu 100% until every Palestinian man, woman, and child is wiped from the Earth. And you better believe he won't be trying to work diplomacy, ceasefires, or hostage releases in the background.
