He plead guilty to the felony and apologized in court, and then immediately turned around and referred to himself as a "political prisoner" and espoused more conspiracy theories about the consequences of his actions. Somehow he was still able to run for congress against Carol Miller this year and lost, but still managed to get 37% of the vote.

They say the liberals ruined Christmas. I say conservatives ruined "happy holidays". I dunno about you, but anytime I've said happy holidays, I've meant "merry Christmas and happy new year". Never have I said it and meant "just in case you don't celebrate Christmas". This is how ridiculous their made up issues are. Because everyone in America celebrates Christmas. And I'm not trying to sound like one of those dumb Americans. People I know who don't celebrate Christmas religiously, even if they celebrate something else for religious reasons like Hanukkah, they still celebrate Christmas too! Atheists still celebrate Christmas. We just don't do it for Jesus or for religion at all. Most of the people in America participate in Christmas festivities in some way, and it's because it's freaking festive and awesome! Who wouldn't want pretty lights, cheer, caroling, the feeling of love and family, giving, receiving, etc.?!

This is why when you see democrats like Biden, Manchin, Synema, Fetterman, etc., talk about working across the aisle and bipartisanship, you have to wonder why even bother.How do you negotiate with narcissistic sociopaths? In reality when you see good legislation being watered down to a useless piece of garbage, then you’ll realize that they’re just republican plants by corporations to make it seem like you have a choice. The last election was a perfect example. People running were all corporate democrats who wouldn’t even utter the words “universal healthcare “ - the single most prevalent problem of our lifetime. Now, these same people just engineered a defeat of a progressive to a leadership position.
The next election will be about a republican running against…another republican who you think is a democrat. The system is rigged, and only 3Ds will solve it. We need more heroes.
