Important and/or interesting political articles that often don't make the headlines but are worth a look.
Glad to see another evil regime crumbling:

Looks like Germany has the most days above freezing during winter due to climate change. Yay?
Looks like SMA is doing okay but we’re screwed in Germany…
“For instance, a nine-day wave that hammered the U.S. Pacific Northwest and southwestern Canada in June 2021 broke daily records in some locales by 30 degrees C, or 54 F. ”
This is why I’m not a dog person!

Interesting and fitting history lesson:

I really don’t mind Christians like this, as long as they don’t try to proselytize to me:
Republicans levied the “They’re gonna to take yer guns!” accusations against Democrats for decades, but now they’re okay with it? The old GOP is clearly dead.
So Elon Musk appears to be a LOT worse than I’d thought:
The truly disgusting racist and sexist right-wing nutjobs are coming out of the closet:
THIS is what I mean about reason for hope that our institutions will hold, despite the attempts by tRump and Project 2025:

Also, Biden is supposedly fast-tracking 44 judges to the bench.
Great, and with tRump in power we won’t be adhering to climate change mitigation efforts any time soon…

Fun info to give to Trump's Christian followers:
The courts and awareness campaigns causing Trump’s own supporters to retaliate could stymie him and Projecting 2025. Hope and a chance beats despair and surrender.

Christian Nationalists are my sworn enemies…and now they have power. Will this turn the US into a theocracy, or hasten the continual shrinking of Christianity?

This is the hell Project 2025 could unleash on Americans now that tRump won the election:

I don’t think I’ve ever been more disgusted by anyone like I am with that orange shitgibbon. But maybe this kind of disaster is necessary to get Americans to unleash a backlash against fascism.
An interesting perspective against anti-West Muslims who use free speech to end free speech:
GREAT ad to show anyone who thinks Drumpf is manly:
This should destroy Trump's chances at the presidency. Alas, it won't:
He supposedly has a 40 year track record for successful presidential predictions:
Well this fucking sucks. I have no patience for climate change deniers.
If this is true, Trump should be imprisoned for many years:
A really good breakdown of Project 2025. What a nightmare:
An explanation of why the orange shitgibbon has such a fan base:
Oh great, another angle the MAGAts are trying:
Yet another Trump face plant:
Trump really shit the bed at that meeting!
I’ve seen how conservative The Villages residents are, so this is rather stunning:
Woops, I forgot to post this when it was timely, but it’s still an amusing reminder from Jimmy Kimmel:
Yeah, the Orange Shitgibbon actually admitted his intent on video. This revelation REALLY needs to go viral:
I think this whole video is a particularly nice dig against Drumpf:
Well, it didn't take long to realize that Biden stepping down and Harris running for the presidency was actually a brilliant piece of Dark Brandon jujitsu. And then this guy summarizes the brilliant move in this post:
I just hope Biden releases a video of himself saying something like, "Oh my, I had no idea my stepping down would cause such a mess for Trump's whole campaign. I'm so sorry to hear that." Then he slips on his Dark Brandon aviator glasses with the laser eyes and slowly smiles at the camera.
With calls for Biden to step down, that would make Harris the heir apparent--and there would be real risk to Democrats saying "not your turn" to a black/Indian woman. And yet, a lot of her supporters are quiet, and this may explain why:
Showcasing just how poorly Republicans are responding to the shooting compared with Democrats:
The shooter did donate $15 once to a grassroots Democratic group a few years ago. So things are muddied:
I’m relieved the shooter was evidently a right-wing registered Republican, so this shouldn’t be blamed on Biden:

Trump’s administration was tightly knit with the Heritage Foundation, 140 members of his former administration were involved in developing the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, and the Republican Party has worked with the Heritage Foundation since the Reagan Administration. But sure, when Trump says he knows nothing about Project 2025, we should believe him:

And even more evidence:
Another revelation that SHOULD destroy Trump, but probably won’t:
Yeah, this is exactly my concern about Trump:
And here is the other side of the debate on whether Biden should continue to run for the presidency:

Rachel Maddow provides this good, quick summary:
It is interesting to hear about the personal dynamics among members of the Supreme Court:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c947YyrLCCo&feature=youtu.be
This is an excellent summary of the egregious behavior of Trump and a reminder of the effectiveness of Biden. In the wake of the recent supreme court ruling debacle, people need to be reminded of this:
This is fucking insane!
This is horrifying!
This article points out some interesting poll results, but it tries too hard to be even-handed. Yes, Trump supporters and Biden supporters live in different worlds, but one side is supported by actual evidence, and it’s not the MAGAts:

Fucking Christians…
I’d like to see the government implement this:
This is important enough that it’s worth posting the summary of Trump’s revelations about wanting to be a dictator:
https://www.axios.com/2024/05/01/trump-second-term-time-magazine-interview
Trump really is a wannabe dictator:

“Australia, Estonia, Finland, Grenada, Iceland, Mauritius and New Zealand.”

Perfect to present to Christian MAGATs:
Just some nice schadenfreude:
This could be sweet:
