I disagree. SNL is at its best when it takes something dumb that a politician says or does and amplifies it and makes it hilarious.

With Trump, reality is more ridiculous than fiction.

And yet, he still has your vote.

Big fan of making it illegal to criticize judges?

Or just excited for cops having a purge day?

If you can't get to the polls, apply for an absentee ballot but being lazy isn't a legitimate reason.

Yes, the urban voters in Red States that have to wait in line 4-8 hours to vote are "lazy".

And don't forget. No chairs. Offering water or food is illegal. Just STAND in line for 4-8 hours. Miss work? Oh well. Pay for child care? Oh well.

Absentee ballots have always had inherit problems.

2020 we saw wide scale use meaning those existing problems were compounded.

What problems?

You never actually name them. It's always "People think there are problems..."

Socialism is just awful until you are standing on your roof with flood waters nearing shingles, isn't it?

Fun Fact: Of all the counties heavily dependent upon government aid in the US, 90% are Red.

Today the fat orange pedo claimed the cure for crime was the purge, like the movie series. He's InFrackingSane!

The purge is when the citizens do it.

This would literally be the government doing it and citizens do NOT get to defend themselves.

This is literally 100 times worse.

What assertion?

Seems like an interpretation.

What is a political activity?

Is polling? Is sending data?

It's called an In Kind Campaign Contribution.

Yep, it's essentially illegal.

You are also missing that the interaction with Ginni Thomas was so expected that they fell for it.

Why was the wife of a current and supposed to be unbiased Supreme Court Justice expected to be emailing and working with the GOP no questions asked?

Don't worry. Those free speech absolutists like Jeff will be here ANY minute now to criticize Trump for this...

Any minute now...

Just you wait...

(Don't hold your breath)

Another day, another church declaring bankruptcy over this stuff.

As #5 lampoons it, Texas didn't install enough shortfall coverage.

#7 | Posted by sitzkrieg

No. Texas create an artificial shortage of natural gas to drive up prices and couldn't cover the shortfall when it was needed.

Worse, Texas passed no regulations on ensuring wind power generators were capable working in cold weather because FreeDumb. They work fine in places like Minnesota all year long.

DeSantis wants to make it easier for his Republican buddies to groom kids.

Illegal*

*Except when Donald Trump does it

Trump doesn't make money from giving it away or helping others raise it for themselves.

They knew this.

The guy in the picture is the prosecutor who decided to file charges against her in the first place. Just as in a similar case in another state last year, those responsible for jailing this woman are elected Democrats. Why?

Because he has to follow the insanely poorly written law that is insanely ambiguous and difficult to apply.

Say the word:

Dementia

Texas Gov Abbott: "12 hours? Hold my beer..."

Another is many of these "clean" sources of energy can be just as damaging to the environment as using fossil fuels.

No. Literally no. Not many.

Maybe if you put a damn in the wrong spot but that's about it.

Call me crazy, but this article doesn't match every other article about this situation.
She wan't charged?
ORANGEBURG " A state grand jury declined to pursue charges against a former South Carolina State University student accused of murder after her baby died following a premature birth, ending a legal saga that drew attention from national anti-abortion groups.
Amari Marsh was a 22-year-old college student in February 2023 when she travelled to an Orangeburg-area hospital after experiencing pain in her abdomen connected to her pregnancy. She left the emergency room and suffered a miscarriage the following morning while on the toilet.

This seems like propaganda given the source Facebook, strange its a headline.

#13 | Posted by oneironaut

She was charged. But when taken to a grand jury, the grand jury decided not to continue the charge.

In South Carolina, you are initially charged and THEN it goes to the grand jury to either True Bill (confirm) or No Bill (drop) the charge.

She spent 22 days in jail and was released with an ankle monitor.

READ THE DAMN ARTICLE

If it was still alive when EMS arrived, how could it not have cried?

#26 | Posted by beef_supreme

Because it isn't formed enough 16-18 weeks premature to cry? Or really live outside mom for long?

Did you think being born that premature means its a fully developed baby but just smaller?

It showed signs of life when EMS arrived. That's not saying much.

@#9 ... "My only question is why haven't more non-irrational, non-conspiracy-aligned Republicans not stopped supporting Trump?" ...
Alex, I'll take, "Things I wished I Had Said" for $200, please.

Polls show there aren't many rational, non-conspiracy aligned Republicans. Most believe the lies and conspiracies even after debunking.

And the few remaining don't care.

The South has gone crazy with their treatment of women.
Rolling back the clock to the 1930's. Next up, they will try to strip women of the vote.

Some of them are already discussing that.

Oh look, Boaz became a socialist.

Harris and her supporters should quit gaslighting us on the consequences of dumping large numbers of immigrants into small towns with no plans for assimilation. They should also quit lying about the legal status of many of the immigrants, they're only "legal" in sense that Biden has abused his powers and twisted the law and declared them "legal".

Posted by visitor_

Haitians come here and assimilate.

Visitor_: "They didn't assimilate! They are still black!"

To qualify for Temporary Protected Status, which maybe renewed indefinitely under Biden/Harris all the immigrant has to do is request it. NGOs funded by Biden/Harris and billiares that hate America provide free legal services to smooth the process.
A small town losing population due to a high unemployment rate that has been averaging 7% above US unemployment rate from 2019-2023, solves that problem by importing poor, low skill workers from the third world. Marx was one hell of an economist.

"Lies about Immigration help no one"

Visitor_: "Hold my crack pipe..."

Intentional.
