I miss the Grand Old Party (GOP) and long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. (We idealistic hippies sometimes need to be reined in by practical conservatism.) But this election is different… and much deeper than D versus R and left versus right. It’s a clear choice, and the survival of our democracy is on the line.
The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris. The world needs America.

Remains a stunning failure on the part of nation's leading news orgs that none appear to be pressing for any official report or even statement on how Trump sustained his injury because they fear blowback from an aggressive Trump campaign. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog… via @TPM

The current state of Twitter leaves me thinking that it’s time to be done here.
I’m on most of the other places at the same handle if you care to follow.
Good job killing it, Elmo.

The sane GOP reps who support #Ukraine need to state now, unequivocally, that they will not support anyone unless they promise funding for Ukraine

It’s sad to watch Kevin McCarthy become a victim of white on white violence inside the Congressional White Caucus
But it will continue to happen until those people decide to stop fighting each other and demand more from the leaders of the white community

Members of the House and Senate who are voting to deny Ukraine assistance on the 85th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain’s 1938 “peace in our time” speech should read some history: Appeasement didn’t work then. It won’t work now.

Important to remember that U.S. alliances and partnerships underpin the rules-based international order. Weaken the U.S. and you destabilize that order, opening the door for dictators with imperial ambitions. Everywhere.
Appears big thing Rs fought for to the end was cutting funding for Ukraine. That's it. A very dramatic gesture to help Putin.
It's long past time to acknowledge there is a pro-Russian, anti-Western, anti-US fifth column in American politics. Time now.

We remain hopeful that Congress will act to fund the government. Access and visitor services would be available on Sunday, Oct. 1. Beginning Monday, Oct. 2, all national parks would close, and visitors should expect services to be unavailable.

If these unlicensed “private boarding schools” can get away with human rights abuses, sexual assaults, slave labor, and child trafficking now, just wait until they get an influx of taxpayer dollars via “school choice” vouchers. missouriindependent.com/2022…
