WOW. I just heard of BC politician Selina Robinson’s comments and watched the video. WOW. I’m absolutely stunned at her level of ignorance and apparent lack of self-awareness.

“In a filing filled with vivid descriptions of the Jan. 6, 2021, violence at the Capitol, the lawyers urged the justices not to flinch from doing their constitutional duty and to uphold a first-of-its-kind Colorado court decision to kick the 2024 Republican presidential front-runner off the state’s primary ballot.”

It’s not often that hearing “$65 million in punitive damages” makes me happy, but it sure does today. Happy happy happy.

Happy weekend, everyone!

“The Israeli government can’t be accused of genocide because millions of Jewish people were massacred in a horrific genocide” is a gravely dangerous belief.

So too its more general take, “the victims of genocide can’t possibly commit genocide”, is a deeply flawed and alarming statement.

These statements are false.

"Pregnant women are also being subjected to caesareans without anaesthetic," is a sentence in this filing that sharply concentrates the mind.

Read that twice, then read the whole thing.

"Pregnant women are also being subjected to caesareans without anaesthetic,"... The filing quotes the United Nations Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls… warning on Nov. 22 that "[T]he reproductive violence inflicted by Israel on Palestinian women, newborn babies, infants, and children could be qualified as… acts of genocide under Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention of Genocide."

@GrimmReality Every time I see you laying down truth like this I am optimistic, not that some MAGA-goon will become aware of the bubble of ignorance and evil they live in and change, but that at least a handful of people who couldn’t be bothered to vote last time, decide that they have to vote this time, and actually do it. You give me hope, @GrimmReality .

Thank you, and keep at it. 👏🏻

“But whatever Israel’s rights and fears are, these do not, in my view, justify the siege and collective punishment that Israel initially imposed; nor the trickle of humanitarian supplies that it has permitted to enter Gaza up to now; nor the massive number of deaths and injuries of innocent Palestinian men, women and children.”

“Israel can’t order 1.3 million Palestinians to move to the south of the Gaza Strip and continue to bomb there. It should realize that its actions will further radicalize Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and Muslims worldwide. It must realize that eliminating an ideology is far more difficult than killing Hamas’ leaders and destroying its infrastructure if that is possible.”

“There are no facts pled which demonstrate that Ms. Cox is at any more of a risk, let alone life-threatening, than the countless women who give birth every day with similar medical histories,” the state wrote.

The state’s obscene statement/actions confirm what we know -they know every pregnancy is a risk to the mother’s life, and it’s not only an accepted cost, but part of the strategy. The cruelty is the point. Dead women, and scared women, feed their goal.

This is a prime example of Republicans forcing the government between a person and their doctor. Every conservative should be appalled and reject this by voting for the Democratic candidate in every contest.

Republicans voting against a cap on insulin, or interfering with gender affirming care, are the same issue. attempting to exert state control your most private of decisions - healthcare. It’s obscene and so dangerous.

“MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan wrote about it for The Atlantic when his book about winning debates and arguments came out. The Gish Gallop "aim is simple: to defeat one’s opponent by burying them in a torrent of incorrect, irrelevant, or idiotic arguments. Trump owes much of his political success to this tactic — and to the fact that so few people know how to beat it.”

Odd timing, cancelling Mehdi Hasan’s show, in the run up to the 2024 U.S. election, right when his notable skills are most valuable and important on a large platform.

“Hasan was known for inviting guests on to his show and engaging with them in a fierce debate, often fact-checking and correcting them in real time. His line of questioning was often direct and unrelenting, refusing to let his guest avoid giving an answer.”

"Lock Them Up": Trump's Authoritarian Plans for 2025

“Controlling bodies in jails, camps, and psychiatric institutions makes strongmen feel powerful.”

“Such frightening announcements aim to inject extremist ideas into the mainstream and create a climate of trepidation and powerlessness that discourages mobilization by the opposition.”

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin is vile, ignorant, gutter trash.

“Griffin also objects to language in the amendment stating that the government “shall not prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict access to abortion within 18 weeks of conception.” Griffin states that the phrase “access to abortion” is confusing and could be “misleading” because it is not clear if the “intent” is to “limit government action regarding abortion itself or regarding access to abortion.””

I think it would really help more Americans understand the gravity of what has been going on if media stopped using phrases like “reverse the results of the election” which is not a thing, or “overturn the election”, (also not a thing), and started using the language the rest of the world uses: attempted coup.

It’s not “reversing” or “overturning” an election; it’s ignoring the results of an election and installing a dictator through fraud, threats, and violence, ending democracy.

@CosmicTrigger Biden is not stepping down. This isn’t Create Your Own Unicorn Adventure Picture Book. Get real.

Vote for Biden or give aid to those working to end democracy. Those are the choices in this election. Anything else isn’t dealing in reality and I’m not spending time engaging in fantasy.
