    Worthless: Actual elephant poop isn't that bad because elephants are herbivores, although the poop is rich in nitrogen (IIRC), which can be harmful in concentrated doses.


    GOP elephant shit is acidic & caustic, with a deadly toxic gas, and it's nearly impossible to cleanup.


    Edited because I originally left out "shit."

    The site stops the article, refers you to the NYT site, where the NYT puts up a paywall.

    I prefer a direct paywall, skip the bullshit games.

    Good video...essentially, a PSA to all moderate GOP members
    That and Harris was campaigning...with Liz Cheney?? Strange times indeed. (and the pics looked like they were clicking)

    The moose is loose. :rolleyes:

    From what I understand he was making connections and fraternizing with the Nazis in prison, or White radicals.
    Probably wanted to get him away from those folks, stirring a hornets nest and sending out stingers when they were released too.

    Wonder if him getting out and immediately getting the limelight will be a good or bad thing. * Chump doesn't like losers or those that get caught.
    Hmm, wait and see...

    GOP leaders in some states move to block Justice Dept. election monitors

    If you can't beat them, cheat them... :mad:

    And this is why the GOP needs to fade.
    The any means to an end mindset and tactics. It's a scourge on US politics and the nation altogether.
    This party has been dangerously corrupted.
    Even rational VERY conservative past-members are saying it's gone overboard.

    A new conservative party with integrity and honor needs to be formed.
    One that knows it lives in a nation with many views...and it's not just their way or the highway. Not mean spirted. Not radical...or even malignant.

    I hope that day comes soon.
    Then we can all breathe again.

    And a follow-up...
    Trump and his allies ramp up election fraud allegations in Pennsylvania

    SSDD, just like 4 years ago...if you're about to lose, cry foul.
    Cheaters will cheat. Conmen will con.

    He and his cronies planned this before the election 4 years ago.
    They're running the same playbook, yet again.

    Get ready for chaos and violence.
    They're going to go down kicking & screaming.

    Thing is...since they're running the same play, no surprise this time.
    And no sympathy...Biden will kick their asses. He's lost patience, the election will be done. With no doubt, for those that are sane and sincere....and no agenda.
    And he and most of the governors WILL come out with military, national guard, FBI and police.

    He's still prez until mid-Jan...and he'll now use the full capacity of ALL depts under his command.
    Why??? Because they are a threat to the nation. :eek:
    It's obvious that there's a conspiracy, they've shown their hand...it's already been investigated.

    Hope jail is good for ya...that's where you're all going.
    For at least another 4 yrs.
    What y'think the new prez is going have sympathy?? Nope, she's a prosecutor and AG...no soup for you!

    Time to hammer is home. :mad:
    Get the Raid...these cockroaches have had free rein long enough.

    Y'all are rebels without a cause.

    In 2020 NPD Trump controlled the resources to quell the violence -- that he encouraged, & sometimes directly called for -- but this time the LEAs should be ready (& hopefully willing) to take action.


    *****
    When I recently looked up the early voting locations I noticed the same thing I saw in 2020: There is a large area in Harris County, namely southeast Houston and Pasadena, that has very few early voting locations.

    This area is mostly working class & lower, with a large population of Latinos & Blacks. And Pasadena doesn't have public transportation.

    It would take a miracle to convince me this voting difficulty was accidental, or justified.

    Let's say MAGA dies down, and
    the GOP returns to relative normalcy, &
    the GOP successfully siphons/continues to siphon dissatisfied voters from the Dems.

    What happens when the GOP discovers the huge difference between appealing to a wide range of voters & appeasing those voters? Especially the working class whites expecting to see a noticeable improvement in their lives.
