Some of you may feel this is too harsh. I would like to think it is too harsh. But consider two data points from this week.

After Gavin Newsom threatened to aggressively gerrymander California if Texas goes through with its own ridiculous partisan gerrymander, the head of the state legislative progressive caucus Alex Lee reared up on his hind legs and did his best Neville Chamberlain impersonation. He insisted he would fight against a partisan gerrymander on the grounds that a partisan gerrymander would be mean and ungentlemanly. “For as long as I’ve been alive, we’ve been the anti-gerrymandering party, anti-corruption and pro-democracy people. And are we going to just stoop to their level?” he told The Bulwark. “It’s a race to the bottom where everyone loses.”

Newsflash Alex, you dope: fascism is not a “race to the bottom where everyone loses.” Fascism is a deliberate political program of extermination currently aimed at you and your voters. Refusing to fight fascism isn’t being pro democracy; it’s lying down and letting fascists shoot you in the fucking face. Striking fascists in the fist repeatedly with your chin is not bravely standing on principle. It’s bashing your brains out before the fascists can do it for you. You fucking rube.

Maine’s pro-choice would-be Lion of the Senate Angus King voted to confirm 35-year-old rabid forced birth asshole Josh Divine to a lifetime federal judgeship. When asked what the fucking fuck he was fucking doing, King dropped his monocle and muttered that he had made “a mistake.” Rather than consulting pro choice groups, he had, apparently, decided to ask Missouri Senator Josh Hawley—an insurrectionist, a fascist, and an opponent of abortion—who he should vote for. Hawley said, “Ha ha, vote for this guy, he’s great, no really.”

Divine used to be Hawley’s chief counsel—which would be reason enough to vote against him if you had a brain and a heart instead of a fucking useless moustache which, apparently, can’t even by counted on to hold in your sad shit for brains.

1. The spirit of the Marquess of Queensberry is strong in some.

Personally, I'd like to see Nazi Punching recognized as an Olympic event.

2. 100 percent right on!

[Nimble_Idea]

3. K&R because I can't say it lol

more of this from team blue. no more allowing these pacifists and roll over and play dead types, get everyone fucked.

[live love laugh]

4. Wonder who's paying Neville?

[markbark]

5. Need to go to a movie released in 1987

and listen to Sean Connery give his "The Chicago Way" speech.

18. Damn Skippy!

"You must be prepared to go all the way."

[Alice B.]

6. I know it's only Monday but this is the best thing I've read all week

I too am tired of voting the D no matter what, paying their salaries and healthcare, and then being told I have to save myself.

7. Kick & Rec!

[dlk]

8. There are those who appear to be completely oblivious to what we're actually facing

Harkening back to a time long gone is naive. When the wolf is at your door, you don’t invite him in for tea. That’s how you’ll get devoured.

13. It's about them feeling high and mighty.

Democracy be damned. I can’t decide which is worse. Selfish Dem ideologies or the fucking magats.

[Pompoy]

9. I usually hate on people blaming the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing, but this, I agree with

Great idea by Newsom. At the very least force them to deal with the gerrymandering issue.

[orangecrush]

10. I can't believe this needs to be said

Jesus fucking Christ.

[paleotn]

12. Part of the reason we are where we are

[orangecrush]

16. With an openly anti American cabal occupying the federal government

[paleotn]

11. Alex.

You can feel all nice and pure about yourself while rotting in a fucking gulag. And the point of that is what? Other than to mount your fucking high horse. The same goes for every Dem and progressive like him. Including a few in this forum.

[Glaisne]

14. Amen, spot on, exactly, absolutely!

Fight fascism by every means necessary, even if they're not nice means. This isn't a debate it's a war!

[Americanme]

15. If someone punches me in the nose,

damn right I will stoop to his level and punch back. This is a fight for survival, kill or be killed. We can reinstitute gentlemanly rules later, after extermination is avoided. The other side does not want a fair fight, it wants a permanent majority, does Alex Lee not know what that means?

[DeeDeeNY]

17. What is wrong with Angus King?

His reputation among progressives doesn't match his careless laziness. He must have interns plus a paid staff who could help with research. And of everyone in the Senate, why consult Josh Hawley???

[Fiendish Thingy]

19. Why mention King and post his picture if your post includes nothing about him?

If you wanted to talk about King, why not excerpt the parts of the article that focus on him?

20. Thank You For Pointing That Out, I Have Now Added That Portion Of The Article

21. Fuckin-A

That's a righteous rant!
