Not needed, just make it harder for them to buy politicians.

Send the bill to the orange turd's campaign.

"The genius of the "big lie" was not only that it sparked a movement that ended up with January 6 to physically allow him to stay in office. But psychologically the "big lie" was very important because it prevented his propagandized followers from having to reckon with the fact that he lost. And it maintains him as their hero, as their winner, as the invincible Trump, but also as the wronged Trump, the victim. Victimhood is extremely important for all autocrats. They always have to be the biggest victim."

Ruth Ben-Ghiat

"...one, and only one, of our major parties has been going crazy for twenty years and is now having a full-fledged gibbering, I'm-The-Emperor-of-Antarctica breakdown. It is hard not to feel just a touch of schadenfreude about this. The Republicans have served up eight years of hatred and nihilism"and now they are surprised to find they have inherited hatred and nihilism as they actually appear in the real world, not neatly blown-dry and smirking but red and orange and heaving, cursing and swearing and contemptuous."

Adam Gopnik

That's an expensive political stunt. I suspect part of that $615,000 will make it back to DeSantis as a "campaign contribution."

Is any of the stuff she claims any crazier than supply side economics?

None of these people will go to jail. A conviction would have to go to a jury, and if there's one R on the jury it will be hung.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Joseph Goebbels

Pandering to trumplings will not make them watch CNN. It will just run off the non-trumplings.

"How could you be so cruel as to pass a law that you know will hurt women"

Because they're Rs and that fires up the base. Next thing you know they will make all women wear white bonnets and burkas.

"Here in the 21st Century the Republicans have become the new Know Nothing Party. Just as the original Know Nothings employed fear, bigotry, ignorance and hate to motivate its base, so too does the Republican Party."

John Atcheson

"We have a Biblical duty, we are called by God to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want Pluralism. We want theocracy."

Randall Terry, Head of Operation Rescue

It doesn't matter if they don't get off their butts and vote. And are allowed to do so.

Do they make these women wear white bonnets?

Rs are afraid of people voting because they know they will loose an honest, open, election.

"Elections belong to the people. It is their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters. "

Abraham Lincoln

"Them that begin by burning books, end by burning men."

Heinrich Heine

It's worth remembering that in the last election he allowed Hitler got over 90% of the vote.

So they killed somebody and get 6 weeks in jail??? They must have really good lawyers. Of course they're white and that helps.

Vlad is a raving lunatic.

True, but that's not a good thing when he has his finger on the nuclear button.

Can anyone explain how this benefits anyone? Even if your religion says life begins at conception, does that life include things with no head?

"Most fierce opponents of government regulation are perfectly happy with government interventions in the economy when they have the effect of redistributing income upward. They only become upset about regulation when it benefits those at the middle and bottom of the income distribution."

Dean Baker, Co-director, Center for Economic and Policy Research

"I have the right to do anything I want as president."

Donald Trump

Rule 41 (g) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure authorizes Trump to file suit demanding a return of all materials seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago by proof that the search warrant or its execution was legally defective. The text is clear to persons unschooled in the law: "A person aggrieved by an unlawful search and seizure of property or by the deprivation of property may move for the property's return ... The court must receive evidence on any factual issue necessary to decide the motion. If it grants the motion, the court must return the property to the movant." None among the former president's long roster of lawyers has questioned the legality of the search under Rule 41 (g).
