On the brink of his prison stint, Bannon is attempting to rally an audience he calls an “army of the awakened” to sustain his anti-establishment crusade.

So he wants a "woke" army to support his crusade?

Yes, but if the married couple across the street are getting tax and other advantages simply for being married that you and your unmarried partner are not getting, then that is an injustice. Either no one should get such advantages or any pair of people regardless of gender or race should be able to get them. Either get rid of state marriage or let anyone get married.

Fades out? Really?! The daily sea surface temperatures have been setting records every single day for about 15 months and there's no hint it's going to stop soon or maybe ever. We are sitting at about .75 degrees Celsius above the 1982-2011 mean temperatures.

This is serious shit and it is NOT fading away.

How long until Abbott pardons her and says she was acting in self defense and had a reasonable fear for her life?

Good guy with a gun only works in Hollywood. In real life, the cops are going to shoot the good guy with a gun because he's at an active shooting scene and he's holding a gun. The math, like most cops, is really pretty simple.

“It was kissing and petting and not intercourse, but it was wrong,” Morris said of the relationship to the Christian Post.

Is it really an allegation still when you are quoting him in the article admitting to it?

Novembern? Is this Jesus' sneaky way of saying never?

To paraphrase Clarence Darrow, I would never wish a man dead, but there are some obituaries that I very much look forward to reading.

It's Texas. He was probably shooting at a liberal. It's de facto legal there. The Governor just pardoned a convicted murderer. This Uber driver had posted on line and in text messages that he wanted to kill racial justice protesters, then drove to a protest. He then found an armed protester (again, it's Texas so of course there was one there), and got in an argument with him. Eventually, he got tired of waiting for the protester to point a gun at him so he could claim self defense and just shot the protester to death anyway. He was convicted and sentenced to jail. Abbott however, decided that that was unfair. He said, and this is a quote, “Texas has one of the strongest ‘Stand Your Ground' laws of self-defense that cannot be nullified by a jury or a progressive District Attorney.”

So you see, in Texas, shooting at people, even killing them, isn't apparently against the law if the people you are shooting at are liberals.

Her… now former … husband was 22 when he hit on her, a 16 year old, working at McDonalds. That is how they met.

Hey, I think it's important that we stick to facts here. Particularly when the facts are so very... I'm not sure what the term is. Let's just say that the facts are very Boebert.

First of all, he was 24 at the time and she was 17, and it wasn't a McDonalds, it was a bowling alley. Most importantly, I'm not sure it counts as 'hitting on her' when he took his dick out and flashed her and two other girls. He did time for it too, a whopping four days plus two years probation. It was after he got out that they got together. I guess it was a nice dick.

Anyway, just wanted to correct the record.

Not to speak for the other person but I feel the same way. His win in 2016 was a fluke.

It won't be a fluke, this time. Republicans in Red states have spent the last couple years ramming through laws making it harder to vote. And they will certainly be claiming massive fraud again, sans evidence, and tying up certification in their states for as long as possible giving SCOTUS the chance to step in like they did in Florida 2000 when SCOTUS handed the states votes to Bush.

Worse still, republicans in swing states have been trying to use the theory of the independent sate legislature to enact legislation granting themselves the power to overrule the will of the voters and award the state's electoral votes to the candidate of their own choosing. Don't shake your head too quickly at that idea. At least three members of SCOTUS support the idea.

Even so, three justices—Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Clarence Thomas—have spent two years campaigning for the independent-state-legislature doctrine in judicial statements and dissents. None of those writings carried the force of law, but together they served as invitations for a plaintiff to bring them a case suitable to their purpose. A fourth justice, Brett Kavanaugh, wrote a concurrence in which he invited the North Carolina Republicans in the Moore case to return to the Supreme Court after losing an emergency motion. Where John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett stand on the doctrine is unclear.

You can be certain that there will be lawsuits filed within hours of the election claiming fraud and that the legislatures in those states can name their own electors. I wouldn't even be surprised to see right wing terrorists attacking polling stations, disguised as AFTIFA of course, in order to give the legislatures ammo to support those efforts.

This could be the ugliest election in the history of this nation. The forces of evil are doing all they can to hand Trump another term.

Might be a little salty for some people, but fuckem…

Which, amusingly, is an apt summary of the article.
