Most Republicans aren’t aware of Trump’s various legal issues. It’s a shocking revelation, but not entirely surprising. As I dug deeper into this issue, I came across a YouGov poll that revealed only 45 percent of Republicans were aware of Trump’s legal troubles. These legal troubles include cases like the documents case, his liability for assaulting E. Jean Carroll, the value-inflation suit, and the criminal charges in Manhattan related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
So why aren’t they aware? Well, it seems that the propaganda they consume plays a significant role in keeping them in the dark. Media outlets like Fox News and OANN rarely report these legal issues, if at all.… Continue reading
Lauren Boebert, the infamous Republican congresswoman, has left her district, and believe me, the voters are rejoicing. It’s not surprising, really. Boebert has always been a caricature of a politician, lacking any self-awareness to see just how ridiculous her latest move truly is. Her constituents have had enough of her antics, realizing that she causes chaos with no tangible results. One voter aptly describes the situation, stating, “I can’t think of anything that she’s actually done.” Let’s be honest, though, she’s not the only one in the Republican Party who fits that description.
Boebert is on the hunt for a new district to embarrass herself in, leaving her former district in Rifle, Colorado, with mixed feelings.… Continue reading
It’s disheartening to see the level of political pettiness and selfishness on display in the Republican Party. The revelation that a GOP senator doesn’t want to pass a tax bill because it could make President Biden “look good” is a testament to their party-over-country mentality. It’s infuriating to think that elected officials are more concerned with political points than with helping the American people.
The fact that the bill in question doesn’t even include checks for Americans, but rather a tax credit, makes the senator’s opposition even more nonsensical. It’s clear that their goal is not to serve the American people or improve the economy, but to ensure that Democrats don’t succeed in anything.… Continue reading
JD Vance, a senator from Ohio, recently made headlines with his controversial statement regarding the certification of the 2020 race. He boldly claimed that he would not have certified the election until states submitted pro-Trump electors. As I read through the various opinions surrounding this statement, I found myself reflecting deeply on the implications of such a stance.
It is disheartening to witness a public figure openly admit that they would have cheated to subvert the will of the people for personal and political gain. Vance’s assertion that he would not have certified the election reveals a dangerous disregard for the democratic process and the principles upon which our nation was built.… Continue reading
Megathread: Federal Appeals Court Rules That Trump Lacks Broad Immunity From Prosecution
The recent ruling by the Federal Appeals Court that former President Donald Trump lacks broad immunity from prosecution has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. It’s a decision that many of us have been waiting for, and one that brings us hope for accountability and justice. Finally, the courts are recognizing that no one, not even a former president, should be above the law.
One of the key points highlighted in the ruling is Trump’s constant demand for judges and prosecutors to recuse themselves from his cases, simply because they may not align with his personal agenda.… Continue reading
As someone who holds deep admiration and love for the United States, the recent polling blow suffered by Donald Trump among Independents is extremely satisfying to me. The fact that more and more Independents are turning their backs on him is a statement in itself, a powerful message to future leaders that the American people will not tolerate the antics and disrespect that Trump has displayed.
Interestingly, as a Romanian who has never visited the US, I feel like I have just managed to vote against Trump in my own little way. It’s gratifying to know that my comments may have influenced at least one person to go out and vote.… Continue reading
surprised that such arguments are being entertained. The fact that we even have to address the idea of a president using the full power of their position, including military force, to carry out assassinations without consequence is truly alarming. It’s a blatant disregard for the rule of law and a dangerous sign of the erosion of democratic principles.
The concept of broad immunity and the ability to pardon oneself or others raises serious questions about accountability and the integrity of our justice system. It creates a double standard where those in power can act with impunity, while the rest of society is expected to abide by the law.… Continue reading
George Stephanopoulos Cuts Off GOP Senator After He Suggests Trump Could Defy SCOTUS
In a recent interview on ABC, JD Vance, a Republican Senator from Ohio, made some outrageous statements that caught the attention of many viewers, including myself. Stephanopoulos was right to cut him off, as his suggestions that Trump could defy the rulings of the Supreme Court are not only dangerous but also fundamentally undemocratic.
Vance’s attempt to deflect blame onto Democrats for everything against Trump was a typical GOP tactic. It’s frustrating that politicians like Vance continue to prioritize party loyalty over the well-being of the American people.… Continue reading
Democratic senators are calling on the DEA to completely deschedule marijuana, and I couldn’t agree more. The current system has caused harm and has been ineffective in addressing the issue of marijuana prohibition. It’s time to legalize it and allow people to grow it, just like tomatoes. The fact that alcohol, with its addictive potential and known carcinogenic properties, is legal while marijuana is not is mind-boggling. The excise taxes that could be generated from marijuana sales alone are a strong argument for descheduling.
It’s frustrating to think about the wasted years, lives, and money that have gone into the failed war on drugs.… Continue reading
As someone who has been following the saga of Donald Trump’s potential prison sentence for years, I can’t help but express my skepticism and exhaustion. Time and time again, we have been promised justice, only to have those promises fade into thin air. The headlines shout, “Donald Trump likely going to prison for a long time,” but where is the action?
I understand the frustration of those who are eagerly waiting for Trump to face the consequences of his actions. Our justice system should hold all individuals accountable, regardless of their wealth or power. But the reality is that the rich and powerful often evade punishment, and Trump seems to be no exception.… Continue reading
