      Everyone has a finite amount of fucks at any given moment.

      The article is worth the 2 minute read because it accurately and concisely explains why the claim is bullshit.

      And I had no idea the SC justices sat with Dems…

      Like, all of them, even the ones appointed by trump. I had seen the clip Barret looking shitty at trump, but all of them sitting with Dems is something I’m choosing to be optimistic about.

      Their seats are for life and Dems have proven they don’t have the balls to kick them out. So now the threat to their power is trump, if he’s kept in check they maintain status quo and their personal power for 30-40 years, probably longer.

      If trump does a full takeover, they’re essentially rendered powerless because they wouldn’t be able to disagree with him, and their cooperation would be taken for granted because at that point trump would replace them.

      So like I said, everyone has finite fucks.

      Use them to find silver linings sometimes. Shits gonna get worse but we need hope if people are gonna fight. Dont do what James Carville says and stick your head in the sand. Do what Ken Martin is doing and look for the best places to fight

        This. I had no idea SCOTUS was in the same seats as the Democrats until I read the article.

        Finnish one is an actual and common expression among the scatologically inclined. “Even the stones care” might be another one.

        I work with closely with a Dutch coworker. There’s no way that isn’t true. In fact, I’m fairly certain that’s probably one of the tamer variations.
