GOP = Gouging Our Prices

I was listening to one of my favorite political podcasts, How We Win, where they were interviewing one of my favorite experts on how to message progressive issues Anat Shenker-Osorio (Words to Win by) when this ad for a new way to phase GOP as gouging our prices came on and I laughed. It was a podcast, so I couldn't even see the cool visuals. And then they said share it on your social media, and looked at all 35 of you following me and went...um...sure. It's from we decide a progressive messaging org.

Also, only a few more days before I can go back to writing fanfic and not spending all my free time volunteering for the election. Woot.

On July 18th, 2015, I realized that the Republican Party had left me behind. On this day, while seeking the Republican nomination for president, Donald Trump had the following to say about an Annapolis graduate who was shot down, captured and tortured as a POW by the communist North Vietnam regime:

“He's not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

This verbal diarrhea came out of the mouth of a man who used his father’s wealth and privilege to dodge the draft five different times due to his “bone spurs”. Donald Trump is a traitor, a repeated draft dodger and the largest fraud in the history of our country.

Hypothetically what do you think would have happened if the january 6 rioters had gotten to pence or pelosi before they got safe?

At this point, I almost dread answering questions like this anymore because I know the kind of hate mail it will unleash for the next few days, but it's important to keep talking about what happened on January 6, 2021 since so many people are trying to normalize it. That includes many people whose lives were in danger that day, as well as the former President who tried to hold on to power by encouraging his supporters to launch a violent insurrection and is now referring to those who have been brought to justice for attempting a coup as "patriots" and "hostages".

I genuinely believe that there were people in that crowd who would have killed Vice President Pence, Speaker Pelosi, and certain Congressional leaders if they had reached them on January 6th. I think there are people in that crowd who were ready to hold lawmakers hostage. Why else did they have handcuffs and zip ties? To help the Capitol Police maintain order? (Oh yeah...that's right, thanks for reminding me: they violently attacked the police -- some even beat police officers with the "Blue Lives Matter" flags that they brought with them.) Now, I do not think that everybody who was at the Capitol on January 6th -- or even the majority of those who took part in the insurrection -- were willing to go that far. I think a lot of them got swept up in what was happening and went with the flow. That doesn't excuse what they did. The flow that they got swept up in was still a fucking insurrection, and anyone who took part in that deserves to be held accountable. But I think there were certain elements embedded throughout that crowd that were much more organized and prepared to fully execute their plans for a coup after disrupting the certification of the Electoral College votes.

I actually think Vice President Pence was probably in more danger than even Speaker Pelosi or some of the Democratic leaders because Trump was so actively calling him out in the days and hours before the insurrection. I think that's why Pence is so adamant now about not supporting Trump. I mean, think about how disgustingly loyal and subservient Pence was to Trump throughout those four years until basically the first few days of January 2021. But even as other Republican leaders are crumbling and offering their allegiance to Trump again in 2024, Pence is standing by his decision not to endorse or support Trump, and I think that's because he realizes that Trump absolutely almost got him (and his family, who were with him in the Capitol on that day) killed on January 6th. Shit, even Mitch McConnell has folded and endorsed Trump again despite the fact that Trump has spent the last three years not only insulting him but also making racist attacks and questioning McConnell's wife's loyalty to the United States all because Elaine Chao had the audacity to resign from Trump's Cabinet in the wake of the insurrection. Yet Mike Pence -- who spent the better part of four years following Trump around like Paul Heyman follows Roman Reigns...

...THAT same Mike Pence is steadfastly refusing to endorse Trump because he has personal experience about how real of an existential threat Trump is. Some of those people at the Capitol were very serious about following through on their chants to "Hang Mike Pence", and not only does Pence realize that, but he also knows now that Trump -- who refused to take actions that would have helped clear the Capitol more quickly -- said "he deserves it" when hearing about those chants.

That's what is so scary about the insurrection, its aftermath, and the Trump Republican Party's redefinition of what happened that day. It almost worked. They stormed the United States Capitol and invaded both chambers of Congress. They carried Confederate flags into the United States Capitol -- even the fucking Confederate States of America didn't successfully invade Washington, D.C. and plant their flag in the Capitol. They were willing to hurt and probably kill some of America's elected leaders. And the people who helped plan and instigate the events of January 6th have spent the three-plus years since then learning from their mistakes and figuring out how to be successful next time. And guess what? "Next time" is only a few months away.

I keep an eye on Conservatives online, and let me tell you they are in three states:

1) Actually I think I'd quite like a dictatorship, then the persecution would be against those dirty [insert boogeyman]!

2) How could they take Trump off the Ballot for COMMITING AN INSURRECTION, he had to do that cause the vote was rigged!

3) Hey why is everyone so willing to destroy democracy for the sake of owning people?

I'll tell you right now 1 and 2 are a solid 90% of their comments and 3 is thinking about changing their mind to avoid being on the list.

Vote for Biden, you fucking morons!

#Biden #Trump #Election #Seriously though you fucking idiots Biden is in fact every bad buzzword you love to throw at him sure fine whatever i dont care #Trump will be lethal to the U.S dont be fucking stupid #You absolute fucking buffoon

A study published this week estimated nearly 65,000 pregnancies associated with rape occurred in the 14 states that have enacted abortion bans since the Dobbs decision in 2022.

Based on available data, researchers estimated 519,981 completed rapes occurred in this time frame, with 64,565 associated with pregnancies. Among rape-related pregnancies, 5,586 — 8.7 percent — are estimated to have occurred in states with abortion bans that included exceptions for rape.

“In this cross-sectional study, thousands of girls and women in states that banned abortion experienced rape-related pregnancy, but few (if any) obtained in-state abortions legally, suggesting that rape exceptions fail to provide reasonable access to abortion for survivors,” the study stated.

The 14 states included the study were: Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia.

Texas is estimated to have had the highest rate of rape-related pregnancies by far at 26,313, more than four times the second state on the list, Missouri, with an estimated 5,825.

On This Day in 1913: The 17th Amendment was ratified, giving VOTERS the power to elect U.S. Senators instead of letting the state legislatures decide.

As women and people of color won the right to vote, they took their power to the ballot box and voted for Senators that better represented the diversity of our country.

The power should be in the hands of the people. ✊🏽

Exercise YOUR power at the ballot box this year. Register to vote at weall.vote/register.

Of the 44 former cabinet members who served in the Trump administration (each one “perfectly” hand picked by The Orange Shit Stain himself) only four of them are endorsing him in 2024. You don’t have to listen to even one liberal perspective to understand what DJT is really all about. Read up on what those 40 real conservatives have to say about their former boss. The man is as self absorbed of a narcissist as you will ever find. He will burn our country and your freedoms to the ground to protect his own lying shit covered ass.

"Twenty men have served as the chairman of the Joint Chiefs since the position was created after World War II. Until Milley, none had been forced to confront the possibility that a President would try to foment or provoke a coup in order to illegally remain in office. A plain reading of the record shows that in the chaotic period before and after the 2020 election, Milley did as much, or more, than any other American to defend the constitutional order, to prevent the military from being deployed against the American people, and to forestall the eruption of wars with America's nuclear-armed adversaries. Along the way, Milley deflected Trump's exhortations to have the U.S. military ignore, and even on occasion commit, war crimes. Milley and other military officers deserve praise for protecting democracy, but their actions should also cause deep unease. In the American system, it is the voters, the courts, and Congress that are meant to serve as checks on a President's behavior, not the generals."

Here's the deal about voting tomorrow, friends:

Do it. Just freaking vote.

I know that everything feels like an uphill battle, and that it doesn't even feel like we're close to winning, but that's by design.

The "conservatives" spent decades getting their people in place to get rid of Roe, to Gerrymander districts to hell and back because that's the only way they win, to make it harder for people of color to vote, to put themselves in the position to threaten LGBTQ youth and families. To make it okay to threaten Jews on national television. Decades.

And it happened because the hard-line conservatives all freaking vote.

So, we have to, too. We've gotta show up at the polls for the local Board of Education, because that's what keeps "Don't Say Gay" bills out of our schools.

We've gotta show up to vote for local District Attorneys, because they can decide whether to prosecute you for your miscarriage.

And for the love of every other person on this planet, show up to vote tomorrow, because if we lose the majority, we lose every bit of progress we have made in the last 20 years.

(And please don't come at me about how the majority hasn't helped us, what we have now is not a majority that let's is do a damned thing until we get rid of the filibuster, and y'all damn well know it.)

Just fucking vote.
