    In Oregon today, 10 Republican State Senators who, in 2022, walked out for 6 weeks to deny a quorum, were denied the right to run again for their seats by the state Supreme Court, in accordance with the law passed by the voters in 2021. Sweet.

      If Republicans had their way, the rule would be "no Democrat-appointed SCOTUS judges within four years of an election." The proof of that is, multiple Republican Senators said they would do everything they could to hold the seat open for Hillary's entire term if she won.
      It had nothing to do with the proximity to the election or their dishonest claims about the "Biden Rule" (which was just a random speech he gave, never an established rule, and it was a speech about how they shouldn't confirm a nominee until after the ELECTION, not the INAUGURATION). It was always just about power at all costs, and they knew they could never get that as long as the Supreme Court was controlled by rational, fair-minded jurists (or even just biased conservatives judges who still sometimes ruled based on the merits of the law instead of their personal biases).

      A migrant just walked out of a NYC courtroom and gave 2 middle fingers to cameras after he was released with zero bail after attacking and beating police officers. Between that and the fentanyl deaths and the fact that our cities are kicking seniors and veterans out of hotels to accommodate unknown foreign nationals - and cutting back on police and services, I'm so disgusted at the worthless Democratic party.

      Trump has always been OBSESSED about what people think. That’s why he always comes back to “people are saying”, because that is his biggest insecurity. It’s also why he won’t quit, he’s always on a quest to show the world he’s not a loser, because he knows he is.

      They keep talking about succession and civil war over the border in Texas.
      I was worried at first.
      But then I realized that it would be the shortest state succession and civil war in history because:
      Does Texas have an Air Force?
      Does Texas have battlefield drones?
      Can we say, boom?
      Does Texas have a navy?
      Can we say , every port blockaded?
      ( No oil in , no refined product out.)
      Does Texas have it's own money?
      Where will groceries and medicines come from?
      When the National Guard is federalized and the 101st Airborn army shows up , does anyone really think the DPS, who couldn't even stop a single school shooter in Uvalde, is going to stop them?
      And does a DPS officer really want to die for Greg Abbott and Don the fraud Con and sexual predator ( Trump org and E. Jean Carroll )?
      And if Mexico decides to back up the U.S. armed forces, can Texas fight a 2 front civil war?
      And if Abbott and MAGA accepts Russian aid or Ruskie boots on the ground, that would make them traitors, wouldn't it?
      Has Abbott and His Red State Governor buddies really thought this through?
      And those out-of-state backups, sent from red states , do y'all want to die for Greg Abbott and DJT?
      And consider this: all the migrant invasion is coming through one park in Eagle Pass, Texas to America?
      MAGA posturing and political theater is what this is.
      Hey, wealthy Americans, quit buying cartel drugs.
      Hey, American businesses, quit hiring and exploiting cheap migrant laborers .
      Hey, all y'all MAGA house Republicans, pass a coherent migrant farmworkers program , allowing needed workers to cross back and forth over the border for farm and ranch work.
      In fact, just pass a bill and a budget not tied to helping Putin or posturing in faux impeachment hearings.

      And he doesn't even pretend, yet they still support him. It's basically like sacrificing your children to Baal after Baal said in so many words that he'll blight your crops either way. 👹

      Republicans aren't conservative imo, they have become an extreme right populist party.
      Conservatives use to have at least values like tradition, family, patriotism.

    Seth is expressing the encroaching wave of reality that is progressively steamrolling the looney right in epic style.
    As a Canadian who sees comedy as an essential part of culture, I appreciate Seth is at the top of his game at this - literally - pivotal moment.
