Just the GOP: Legislating the Death of Democracy

Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy

It’s disheartening to see the Republican Party continuously undermine the very foundation of our democracy. They have made it abundantly clear that they do not believe in the principles of a democratic society. For years, they have openly declared that we are not a democracy, but a republic. While technically true, this argument is misleading and serves as a smokescreen for their anti-democratic agenda.

The Republican Party’s desire for power is palpable. They long for a system akin to Russia, where authoritarian rule reigns supreme. The comparisons to Hitler’s rise to power in Germany are not unwarranted.… Continue reading

Trump rages against E. Jean Carroll, ignores Melania on wedding anniversary

As I observe the ongoing saga of Trump’s rage against E. Jean Carroll, coupled with his apparent disregard for Melania on their wedding anniversary, I can’t help but feel a sense of detachment. Melania clearly wants nothing to do with him. It’s evident in the way she recoils in disgust at his touch, as if she can’t bear the thought of being in his presence. But here’s the thing – she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married him.

I have zero sympathy for Melania. She willingly chose to marry this man, fully aware of his character and behavior.… Continue reading

After claiming the stock market would crash if Biden wins in 2020, Trump tries to take credit for 2024 stock market record high

After claiming the stock market would crash if Biden wins in 2020, Trump tries to take credit for 2024 stock market record high

It’s truly mind-boggling how some individuals continue to believe anything that comes out of Donald Trump’s mouth. From his outlandish claims about the stock market to his incessant need to be the center of attention, Trump’s words and actions reek of pure delusion. He seems to live in a world where reality is disregarded in favor of his own narcissistic fantasies.

Let’s take a moment to reflect on his previous prediction that the stock market would crash if Biden won the 2020 election.… Continue reading

Forgetful Republicans: The True Motives Behind Immigration Rhetoric and Political Tactics

Yeah… Seems like she forgot what she voted for. Our politicians have a remarkable ability to conveniently forget their own actions and flip-flop on important issues. But nowhere is this more evident than when it comes to immigration reform.

Republicans are notorious for their tough stance on immigration during campaign season. They talk a big game, promising to secure our borders and crack down on illegal immigration. Yet, when they are actually in power, they do nothing to address the issue. In fact, they often obstruct bills that could fix the situation, simply because they don’t want the Democrats to achieve a victory.… Continue reading

Florida’s CFO Jimmy Patronis proposes state to pay Trump’s legal fees

Florida’s CFO, Jimmy Patronis, has proposed that the state pay former President Donald Trump’s legal fees. As a Floridian, I find this decision deeply concerning and disappointing. It highlights the special brand of socialism that Republicans seem to embrace when it benefits their chosen few.

What makes this proposal even more alarming is the fact that Florida is already facing numerous challenges when it comes to serving its citizens. We have hungry kids who are not being adequately fed, yet millions of dollars are being allocated to fund the legal defense of a billionaire who surely has the means to cover his own fees.… Continue reading

Republicans Who Denounced Biden For Using Too Many Executive Orders Now Urge Him To Use Executive Orders Because They Don’t Want To Legislate

Republicans Who Denounced Biden For Using Too Many Executive Orders Now Urge Him To Use Executive Orders Because They Don’t Want To Legislate

It’s fascinating to witness the hypocrisy of politicians when it comes to executive orders. When former President Trump was in office, Republicans praised his use of executive orders, often turning a blind eye to the potential overreach of his authority. But now that President Biden is utilizing executive orders, these same Republicans are singing a different tune, decrying the “record number” of orders and claiming that Biden is abusing his power. The blatant double standard is both frustrating and indicative of a larger problem within the Republican party.… Continue reading

Busted: Trump repeatedly called for jailing presidents before saying he had immunity

Busted: Trump repeatedly called for jailing presidents before saying he had immunity

It’s no surprise that Trump is once again caught in the act of hypocrisy. Throughout his presidency, he tirelessly advocated for the imprisonment of other presidents, conveniently disregarding the principles of fairness and justice. It’s the classic case of “rules for thee, not for me.” But what is truly concerning is the underlying authoritarian impulse that these actions reveal.

Trump’s blatant disregard for the law and his insidious desire to have laws that punish others while ensuring his own freedom reflect a dangerous ambition for unchecked power. His legal argument that President Biden could have him, his family, the Supreme Court, and the Senate executed by the military without any intervention from the court unless Congress impeaches him is deeply disturbing.… Continue reading

Just know who is blocking a Border Security deal…It isn’t Biden!

Just know who is blocking a Border Security deal…It isn’t Biden!

The border security issue has been a hot topic in American politics for years. Republicans have often been champions of this issue, claiming that securing the border is of utmost importance to protect American citizens. However, recent developments have shown that it is not President Biden who is blocking a border security deal, but rather it is the actions and inactions of certain Republican politicians that are standing in the way.

It is disheartening to see how the issue of border security has become nothing more than a political talking point for many Republicans.… Continue reading

Trump supporter tells ABC News: I became a ‘diehard Trump fan’ when I saw him ‘hug the American flag’

When I saw the headline about a Trump supporter becoming a diehard fan after witnessing him hug the American flag, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How could such a simple gesture, so devoid of substance, have such a profound impact on someone’s political allegiance? It became clear to me that these individuals were easily swayed by shallow displays of patriotism, rather than focusing on the actual policies and principles that truly matter.

The fact that some people fell for this stunt is a testament to their gullibility. As the saying goes, “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple people.… Continue reading

‘I’d do it again’: Rudy Giuliani says he’s proud of the actions that got him indicted

Reflecting on the recent statements made by Rudy Giuliani, it’s truly disheartening to witness such a lack of remorse and accountability from someone who was once regarded as America’s Mayor. Giuliani proudly declares that he would do it all again, despite the fact that his actions have led to his indictment. This level of arrogance and disregard for the rule of law is deeply troubling.

One can’t help but wonder how someone who achieved so much good for New York City could end up becoming such a despicable figure. Giuliani’s fall from grace is truly astonishing. He was once seen as a fighter against corruption and crime, but now it seems that he may have been one of them all along.… Continue reading
