Colorado voters seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot are making a bold and necessary move. As responsible and patriotic citizens, they are doing their civic duty to clean up the mess created by the former president. The stain on US history is not simply Trump’s presidency itself, but his actions that led to the events of January 6.
Many argue that the 14th Amendment should be invoked to bar Trump from running for office again. If the Supreme Court rules against him, it will send a strong message that the Constitution is not to be undermined for political gain. On the other hand, if they rule in his favor, it would confirm the perception that the court has become another political arm.… Continue reading
Boebert finishes fifth in straw poll of new district
Well, well, well, it seems like Boebert’s political career may be coming to an end sooner than she expected. In a recent straw poll of her new district, Boebert finished fifth among the five candidates. And let me tell you, it’s hard to take a straw poll seriously when it’s so hilariously tiny. She only received 12 votes from the debate attendees, which accounted for about 10 percent of the total.
Ahead of her were Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg, former Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, Douglas County filmmaker Deborah Flora, and state House Minority Whip Richard Holtorf.… Continue reading
The recent audio release of GOP lawmakers from Ohio and Michigan discussing their intention to ban transgender care for everyone is deeply concerning and further confirms what the trans community has known for a long time. The GOP’s endgame is not about protecting children or promoting the well-being of society; it is about inflicting pain and erasing the LGBTQ+ community.
Their true agenda is to create a society that enforces a Christofascist ideology, where personal freedoms and rights are stripped away from anyone who does not conform to their narrow-minded beliefs. This is not just about transgender individuals; it is about everyone’s rights and access to healthcare.… Continue reading
Biden: ‘More pressing than ever’ to remember ‘scourge of antisemitism’ on Holocaust Remembrance Day
As I sit here, reflecting on President Biden’s statement about the importance of remembering the scourge of antisemitism on Holocaust Remembrance Day, I am struck by a whirlwind of emotions. I cannot help but feel overwhelmed by the rising tide of hate and discrimination against Jewish people that we are witnessing in our society today.
Antisemitic hate crimes are on the rise, and it is alarming how such bigotry continues to persist in our supposedly enlightened and modern world. It is a stark reminder that we still have a long way to go in creating a society that is truly inclusive and accepting of all individuals, regardless of their faith or ethnicity.… Continue reading
Right-Wingers Say Super Bowl Is Rigged So Taylor Swift Can Endorse Biden
As I was scrolling through Twitter the other day, I stumbled upon a thread that caught my attention. It was a discussion about the upcoming Super Bowl and a wild speculation that it is rigged so that Taylor Swift can endorse Joe Biden for the presidential election later this year. Now, as a fan of both football and Taylor Swift, I couldn’t help but dive deeper into this conspiracy theory.
The conversation started with a tweet from Ramaswarmy, wondering who would win the Super Bowl and if there would be a major presidential endorsement from a culturally propped-up couple in the fall.… Continue reading
Judge warns Trump jurors in E Jean Carroll trial to never reveal themselves
It’s truly alarming when a judge has to issue a warning to jurors in a trial involving a former president, as if they were jurors in a mob trial. This is not a normal circumstance, and it should not be treated as such. The fact that jurors in the E Jean Carroll trial have been advised to never disclose their identities speaks volumes about the current state of our democracy.
Let’s put this into perspective. The judge’s warning is not something you would expect in an ordinary trial.… Continue reading
Romney: ‘Appalling’ Trump wants to kill border bill so he can ‘blame Biden’
It is truly appalling to witness the GOP allowing someone who is not even in office to dictate their decisions. It is absurd that private citizen Trump holds this much influence over the party, and it is disappointing to see fellow GOP senators consider listening to him. Romney hit the nail on the head when he called out this behavior as ‘appalling.’
The idea that Trump wants to kill the border bill solely to blame Biden is classic Republican one-dimensional chess thinking. They seem to believe that by obstructing progress and causing chaos, they can somehow come out on top.… Continue reading
E. Jean Carroll jury decides Trump must pay $83.3 million. When I read the news, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and vindication. Finally, justice has been served to a man who has continuously defamed and denied the rape accusations made against him by E. Jean Carroll. The jury ruled unanimously, sending a resounding message that actions have consequences, no matter how powerful or influential one may be.
The breakdown of the damages awarded was equally significant. $7.3 million for emotional damage, $11 million in compensatory damages, and a staggering $65 million in punitive damages. These numbers reflect not only the severity of the harm caused but also the message that the court wishes to send–that such behavior will not be tolerated.… Continue reading
Donald Trump storms out of closing arguments in E Jean Carroll trial. It’s not surprising at all. In fact, I find it quite satisfying. Trump’s consistent, childish behavior only reinforces the prosecution’s argument that he thinks he is above the law. His decision to walk out of the courtroom just further confirms his petulant nature.
Throughout these court proceedings, Trump has continued to defame Carroll, and she has rightfully dragged him back to court to demand justice. It’s like a never-ending loop of Trump losing in court and Carroll coming back for more millions. I wouldn’t be surprised if this cycle repeats itself once again.… Continue reading
Obama and Clinton joining Biden for an all-hands-on-deck effort to defeat Trump. The mere mention of these names in the same sentence evokes strong reactions from people on all sides of the political spectrum. From the comments I’ve read, it’s clear that opinions are divided on whether their involvement in the campaign is a positive or negative move.
Some argue that bringing in Obama and Clinton is a strategic move to rally support and fundraising for Joe Biden. After all, Obama is a highly popular figure among Democrats, and Clinton has experience as both a former First Lady and Secretary of State.… Continue reading
