Going to follow thirsty squirrel's example and have a drink. With everything going on in the world, sometimes you just have to step back and let it all go for a bit.
Maddow was great tonight discussing with the often prescient Steve Schmidt the great challenge we face of advancing GQP authoritarianism. Don't let fear paralyze you though. Use it as your fuel to prepare for the battle to save democracy that has only begun.
Instead of bitching about Susan Sarandon, others, it's time to focus on the big picture--it's not Dems vs GQP. It's proponents of democracy vs adherents of authoritarianism. The second group isn't playing, they're planning on ending this 246 yr experiment with winner take all.
The best news I've heard today is that severely wronged GA poll workers Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss are going after the lying liars Giuliani/tRump that ruined their public lives and endangered them. I hope they break those scumbags financially and leave them groveling for coins.
FIVE members of the MPD "scorpion unit" beat a 145lb man to death because they could. FIVE of them, on one slim man, restrained. Scorpions? This ain't a damn movie, and you aren't the heroes. Police culture has got to change. Cold-blooded murder is never ok.
#TyreNichols
DeSatan's heavily partisan gerrymander he forced through, which goes against FL amendment preventing party favoritism, allowed the GOP to grab three House seats they shouldn't have won in a fair race. Total sleazebag behavior we must counter more effectively.
Rep. Jamie Raskin drove his verbal armored tank filled with receipts and superior ability right over five-beers-short-of-a-six-pack BoBo in her dimwit-powered clown car and I'm still smiling.
@mmpadellan
The six were trying to stick to the original agreement, and save the BBB which is what is urgently needed. The mods/conservatives were the ones going back on their word. The 6 would have voted for it if needed, even though they weren't at fault for changing terms.
George Santos blurted out that he's wearing his upcoming expulsion as a badge of honor & that his GOP Congressional compadres are corrupt philanderers who are drunkenly having sex with lobbyists every night. Actually, I suspect this may be the only true thing he's ever said.
Just turned on MSNBC to find sleazeball Matt Gaetz hawking his pack of lies to Ari Melber. Oh yeah, that's just what we need--ONE LESS channel not foisting lying insurrectionist crapola. Do better Ari/MSNBC.
NBC News interview by Dasha Burns I just watched was a hit piece on John Fetterman (going after him for currently needing captioning assistance due to his stroke and parroting RW talking points). Very disappointing.
Punk-ass huckster Gaetz who is less clever than he imagines is about to find out what happens when your angry monkey grinder act finally pisses off too many of the wrong people. His shit-powered MAGAT rocket is about to get mysteriously diverted straight into the sun.
#Cawthorned
Toxic Barbie Meghyn Kelly complained that Dr. Jill Biden hasn't earned the right to use "Dr" since she's not an MD showing once again nothing good ever comes out of the twisted plastic pie hole of a dime-a-dozen RW hate factory troll reject.
@SteveSchmidtSES
Steve Schmidt, whatever needs to be said, you unequivocally say it better than anyone else out there. Thank you, your words are a gift.
Okay, so my dear friend's daughter is going to have a baby and she is trying to decide what name to be called that isn't grandma, granny or nana, or any derivative of "gran". I told her I would ask my wise, witty, and creative twitter pals for recs. So, here I am asking. 👶
The GQP'ers attacking Fetterman's speech recovery issues sure didn't have jack to say about Hershel Walker and Trump and neither of them will ever sound any better or make more sense than they do this very minute.
After reading the Tangerine Satan's message of Christmas "joy" he unloaded on social media tonight, which I won't repeat, it seems clear the spray cheese has slid off that evil mofo's cracker.
What a crazy, upside down freak show of a country we've become where power grabbing extortionists like MTG, Gosar and the rest of the horrid deplorables are placed in primo House Committee positions instead of being placed in handcuffs for being insurrectionists.
@NotTodayMAGAts
@IAmCatMan1st
I'm sure it is no coincidence you picked Feb 30 since that is the day tRump is planning to apologize for everything, accept his defeat humbly and admit Biden won all along.
Wannabe dictator DeSatan's so-called "Stop Woke Act" which is really the Censor Everything Making DeSatan Feel Butthurt Act, got struck down by a sane judge saying it's unconstitutional. Of course it is. Everything he does violates the basic fundamentals of a free democracy.
Yet another bad dude in need of arrest in Florida, this time the Scientology leader who has slipped through the cracks. He's probably over at MaraLardo, with the other national embarrassment fleeing justice. This state needs a good fumigation. Start with the governor's office.
Just saw on MSNBC researchers discovered that Republicans had 76% higher excess death rate during pandemic. Look to anti-vax propaganda. What's DeSatan doing about it? Putting up a committee to go on anti-science, anti-vax witchhunt. He's despicable, with blood on his hands.
Tulsi Gabbard? Ron Johnson? Just two of the laughable Russian nesting dolls offered up as worthy inquisitors on the GQP's faux "weaponization" 🤣🤣witchhunt. Come on, GQP. If you're gonna endlessly belch out this insulting sham theater, you'd better find better actors.
Heard one piece of great news about TX politics today. Louie "F^^knut" Gohmert tanked in the AG primary and will also no longer be in Congress since he gave up his seat. Thank you, jeezus.
The power of one---Nebraska State Sen Machaela Cavanaugh is blocking passage of anti-trans bill by filibustering and jamming up the works completely stating she will burn the legislative session to the ground first. This is the sort of effort it takes to stop hateful bad laws.
So Meatball Ron who desperately wants to be president so he can screw up the rest of the country like he has FL, is refusing questions from NBC and MSNBC and probably eventually all non-RW propaganda outlets? Ace move for a presidential hopeful. What a pathetic snowflake.
Wow. Chuck Todd...yes, that one...shocked us all and did his job today calling out Wisconsin's own how-could-you-possibly-reelect-this-guy? nutso deplorable Sen. Ron Johnson on his many lies and false equivalencies. Going to give Chuck credit where credit is due (for once).
DeSatan's creepy freak-out obsession with Disney is like some pathetic stalker dude making heavy breather hang-up calls all night to his ex who left him for someone far better looking, taller, and smarter than him. We all see your desperation, Meatball Ron, and it's not pretty.
With a hurricane bearing down on us in Florida it's a harsh reminder that Gov. DeSaster has wasted his time on political stunts for FOX News, rather than working on actual FL problems like property insurance shortcomings. He's a hateful troll governor vs. an effective governor.
The White House Twitter account is directly calling out RW MAGA hypocrites who have had PPP loans forgiven that are whining about the student loan forgiveness plan. This is how you do it. Call them out. Best DEM tactic used by far to date. MORE of THIS, please.
Saw on the local news here in FL that teachers were holding back tears as they packed up books banned by DeSatan's Ministry of Truth. I thought his whole Don't Say Gay crap was ruled unconstitutional. How is this book banning sh^t still happening?
The top 1 percent has taken 50 TRILLION with a T dollars from the bottom 90 percent over the last 40 years and now their GOP lapdogs want to come for even more-our safely net-earned Soc. Sec, Medicare/caid benefits? + no doubt more billionaire tax cuts if they win? Hell NO.
I tried to sign up for one of the hot new college courses the GQP has been going on about in Lesbian Dance Theory, but thanks to all their promotion, the spaces filled up quickly at Antifa U. Thanks, Christofascists, now I have to wait until next quarter.
Gotta say I was unexpectedly surprised by the nice combination of self-deprecation and dry humor Dark Brandon brought to the WH Correspondents Dinner tonight. Roy Wood Jr was a perfect fit as well.
Watching the fabulous Gavin Newsom being interviewed on Alex Wagner's show. The guy is right about EVERYTHING. His comments regarding Democratic communication and strategy are spot on.
@Kodi4momma
@DotPFranL
I'll never forget what my elderly 85 plus neighbor lady from years ago once said-"Honey, when you get older, don't worry about what people say, you have earned the right to do what you dog-gone please. Tell anyone who complains to jump in a lake" I loved that. :)
After 200 attempts, the Senate finally passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act today, and President Biden will now sign it. Again, it took 200 attempts. It took until 2022. Wow.
I still can't believe Kim Guilfoyle was actually once married to Gov. Newsom. That's like going from a superb chateau on the coast of California to a ragged-out old camper most recently inhabited by tweakers parked in some dude's crazy pervish uncle's backyard.

Lindsey Graham should have listened to Lindsey Graham when he said------------------>
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." -- May 3, 2016
The way things are going, those of us with a degree from any university in FL will have to add an asterisk indicating obtained before DeSantis or after DeSantis burned FL's educational system to the ground and made it a sad joke.
@briantylercohen
Perfection. The American RW Taliban types, and their Supreme Court collaborators that spend every waking moment trying to find some new way to strip people of their fundamental protections, aren't going to like what they've unleashed.
Hey DOJ, and Jack Smith, if you're going to finally bring the hurt through long-overdue justice, I hope you'll bring it post haste. The GQP domestic terrorist enablers got some power now and they're coming to finish what they started on Jan 6.
The next time someone acts like a frothing rabid howler monkey incapable of self-control in the way MTG did last night yelling repeatedly things like "liar!" etc, that POS should be removed from the chamber immediately. A line must be drawn. Zero tolerance.
One thing you can always count on is
#Tucker
hitching his petulant crybaby's gold-plated sh^t wagon to any and every despicable thing/villian actual feeling-capable humans find viscerally repellent.
You can be sure of one thing--if the GOP candidate had won the Alaska election, Tom Cotton wouldn't be saying one damn word about ranked voting being voter fraud. Voter fraud and cheating only occur when the GOP loses which makes them....sore LOSERS.
Hey DeSatan. Instead of pissing away 12 million taxpayer dollars on a sophomoric a-hole stunt that only proves you're a joke & unfit for office, how about spending that $$ on the many desperate FL problems that need attention, not your stupid games.
Make up your mind, red states. Are children delicate flowers that can't handle history & drag queens or are they cheap labor for dangerous dirty jobs and/or child bride chattel that should be married off before they can drive? Your vile new laws show us what kids mean to you.
Sean Hannity thinking it would be an epic takedown if he played the heartfelt & caring personal audio voicemail between Joe Biden and his son Hunter shows us why this country is being driven apart and the malevolent sort of ugly that is driving the wedge.
This amazing woman is putting the HELL NO! in stripping people of their basic rights. We need a lot more like her to counter the aggressive RW power grab happening in many state legislatures where GQP Christofascism is ascendant.
Started my day finding my elderly mother had dropped a carton of coffee creamer on the kitchen floor, it had semi-hardened into sticky honey like substance, then she and the cats had tracked it all over the house which took hours to clean. How was your day?
Now we know why Bill Barr has been on a rehabilitation tour lately trying to salvage his reputation. An explosive new tell-all book is coming out by former SDNY US Attorney Geoffrey Berman talking about the vile overt political corruption from 45/Barr's Justice Dept.
Whenever you hear the GOP pushing that tired absurd talking point about how great they are on the economy, feel free to laugh in their faces. 30% sales tax (adds to debt), huge unpaid for tax cuts, threatening to default on debt limit? GOP, just shut up and sit down.
Trump and his lawyer were ordered by a judge to pay Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and others 1 million bucks for bringing a frivolous lawsuit. I would love to see the big smile on Hillary's face tonight. 😂
It's great to see FL's Governor Deplorable starting to get some actual blowback (lawsuits, protests) for his education-related authoritarian overreach. I hope it lasts and succeeds.
California will NOT renew 54 million dollar contract with Walgreens. This is the "what happens" part when you buckle under to authoritarian forced birth extremists and will then no longer be doing business with the largest economy in America.
@Bill_Maxwell_
I was just reading about Venus, the planet, with an atmosphere of trapped carbon dioxide and sulphuric acid making it like a furnace. It really sounds perfect for Trump. Think of it as women's final last laugh on him.
Stuck in a pitch-black van-sized submersible without power, or anything else, on the bottom of the ocean creepily by the Titanic, is currently at the top of my list of things I most definitely would not want to experience. Hoping they have a safe return.
#OceanGate
You'll be shocked SHOCKED to find out that Trump's aide's classified docs on her laptop story isn't causing the same fevered hysteria and calls for a protracted kangaroo court committee investigation as Hunter's laptop with dick pics. You'd almost think the GQP's not serious.🤔
Evidently, President Biden is getting pressure from some Dems that he should negotiate with McCarthy on debt limit. Are you kidding me? Hell no. You don't negotiate with people who've shown they have no greater desire than the raw power to take what they want because they can.
After hearing him on TV, I'm reminded that I want to profusely thank Rhode Island for the one and only Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. He is the best of the best. My absolute hero.
The only person I'd want to see interview the Orange Mad Dog 45 is Mehdi Hasan or Jonathan Swan, who did the best job I've ever seen in handling him in his previous interview. That's how it's done.
Is anyone surprised that when Eric Trump said the Secret Service was getting reduced rates at Trump properties he actually meant highly inflated rates that went straight into their dirty little grifter hands?
That deplorable Ali Alexander is threatening to bring down MTG with some sort of political career ending "evidence". My money is on proof she is the unidentified person leaving the explosive device at DNC on Jan 6. Would anyone be surprised? Doubt it.
Of course Kimberly Guilfoyle got fired for sexually inappropriate behavior in the workplace. That was probably the thing Don Jr found most attractive about her.
Pretty sure I have COVID. I am fully vaxxed from back in March but symptomatic. Mild so far-sneezing, nasal congestion, very low grade fever. But have a preexisting cond. Will try to test tomorrow and hope it doesn't get worse. Appreciate if u keep me in your thoughts.
Surprise surprise. Steve Kornacki dropping the hammer with the trending pattern for the Repugnants on Yes on Recall in CA. The bad faith sore losers are getting their clocks cleaned and I am loving every minute of it.
@SPuro88
I know this happens from reports I hear from HCW's, but I continue to find it shocking and disturbing that people would treat a healer with such disrespect or abuse. It's terrible. I agree with zero tolerance for this behavior. Must be consequences for abusiveness.
Florida has a teacher shortage? Wow, you're kidding? You mean terrible wages, being overworked, constant censorship, and being forced to teach RW christofascist propaganda are not keen selling points in teacher recruitment?
I thought Florida, TX, MS, etc. were bad, then I heard about what's going on in ID where they're trying to criminalize Covid vaccines. You know red states, there's no prize for "winning" the race to the bottom rung of basic human decency. In fact, you become the biggest losers.
The DeSantis thing-it's gotten worse, they found he's working with non-MAGA-Paul Ryan/Bush to take on tRump--and that has the MAGAt's panties in a bunch. It's such a pleasure seeing the "Dems in disarray" bs for once replaced by actual GQP in disarray---3 days before midterms.
TN governor refuses over 8 million dollars in Federal HIV prevention funding because of stoked-up crazed anti-LGBTQ hysteria. Memphis is 3rd in the nation for new HIV cases, 1st in AIDS cases. People will suffer and die because of vicious culture war lies. Why? NO low is too low.
@RonFilipkowski
Oh yeah, because don't we all dream of checking out the physique of a bloated geriatric fried chicken and Big Mac eating machine splotched up with 40 years of bronzer and layers of cellulite from zero exercise.
Kevin McCarthy gave POS malignant fraud Tuckems EXCLUSIVE access to 41k hours of Jan 6th security footage to continue his feast of lies with doctored takes. This is totally unacceptable. Give it to everyone or no one. Demand access, legitimate journalists. It's your right.
