Republicans seem to be realizing now that maybe someone younger and sharper than 78-year-old Donald Trump would be a better choice for their party. It’s interesting to see this shift in perspective considering they had multiple chances to choose someone else during the open primaries, yet they continued to support Trump despite his numerous controversies. Now, as he seems to be heading towards a potential defeat, they are suddenly looking for a fresh face.
The irony here is glaring. They have backed Trump through thick and thin, even standing by him during his insurrection and perpetuation of racist ideologies. And now, when the writing seems to be on the wall for Trump’s potential defeat, they want someone younger to lead the party.… Continue reading
As I sit here contemplating the words of billionaire GOP donor Peter Thiel, blaming Christianity for what he calls ‘wokeness’, I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief and frustration. How can someone twist the teachings of Jesus Christ, who preached love, compassion, and empathy for the marginalized and oppressed, into a negative thing? Thiel’s remarks only serve to highlight the disconnect between the teachings of Christianity and the actions of some who claim to follow it.
Thiel’s attempt to distance himself from what he perceives as ‘victimization’ is troubling. Christianity, at its core, teaches us to stand up for the marginalized, to speak out against injustice, and to show compassion to those in need.… Continue reading
Team Trump seems to be experiencing a gripping sense of panic as they grapple with the repercussions of their attacks on Kamala Harris backfiring. It’s quite a sight to witness the GOP scrambling to distance themselves from the overt racism and misogyny that seem to be at the core of Trump’s campaign strategy. The flimsy attempts to steer him away from these toxic behaviors, coupled with the admission that they cannot control him, are indicative of a party in chaos.
It’s almost comical to see the same tired insults and personal attacks that worked in the past fall flat in the face of a candidate like Harris.… Continue reading
Trump should give the GOP the do-over it needs and drop out now. The Republican Party has been completely taken over by Trump, morphing into a cult of personality rather than a political party with principles and values. The GOP power structure has been decimated, with anyone who poses a threat to Trump being destroyed. The fear of going to jail looms large for Trump, making it unlikely for him to drop out.
The post-Trump GOP landscape looks bleak, with bridges burned and a lack of a clear plan B. The party has become a shell of its former self, devoid of dignity and filled with loud, brash, and immature figures.… Continue reading
As I sit and reflect on the recent events surrounding Donald Trump’s disastrous speech, I can’t help but feel a glimmer of hope for the future. The chaos and ramblings that ensued during his address did something unexpected – it gave Democrats hope. It’s no surprise that Trump continues to portray himself in the same hateful, dishonest, and conceited manner as always. The idea that he would change or become a more decent person is simply delusional.
Listening to Don Jr.’s weak speech only solidified the fact that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The entire spectacle of the RNC, with its outlandish claims and flat-out lies, painted a clear picture of what a Trump presidency would entail.… Continue reading
A GOP lawmaker was recently arrested after chasing a stripper with a gun in the middle of the night, and honestly, I can’t say I’m surprised. Sounds about right for the GOP, doesn’t it? The same party that preaches about traditional family values and wants to ban porn, yet here we have one of their own chasing a woman with a gun. It’s no wonder that some people are bumping up Grindr’s numbers, and at least one GOP member is running around with a gun in a strip club. The hypocrisy of it all is truly mind-boggling.
I mean, where are his charges?… Continue reading
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell faced a harsh reality during the recent RNC roll call as he was drowned out by boos from the crowd. As I watched this unfold, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, McConnell has been instrumental in reshaping the judicial landscape in the United States, cementing a conservative majority in the Supreme Court. Yet, despite his significant contributions to the Republican Party, he is now being openly rejected and ridiculed by those whom he has helped empower.
It is clear from the boos that McConnell’s relationship with the current GOP base has soured.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent post-shooting rant has once again exposed his true colors and shattered any illusions of a unity pivot that some may have had. From the beginning, it was clear that Trump’s version of unity meant complete submission to his authority. The man who capitalizes words like “Unite” is merely branding himself as a unifying figure while simultaneously dismissing any legal proceedings against him as illegitimate.
The notion of unity under Trump is a farce, as evident in his recent call to end all investigations against him and dismiss any charges as political attacks. This is not a leader striving for unity but a power-hungry individual seeking to escape accountability for his actions.… Continue reading
The GOP’s nomination of coup-attempting, convicted criminal Donald Trump for president is truly a disgraceful low for the party. It’s astonishing to see a political party once claiming to stand for law and order fully embrace a man who not only tried to overturn a democratic election but also has a rap sheet that speaks volumes. The blatant disregard for democratic values and the protection of our institutions is evident in this move by the GOP. It’s clear that integrity, justice, and the rule of law are no longer top priorities for this party.
The GOP’s nomination of Donald Trump is a stark reminder of the dysfunction within the party.… Continue reading
The GOP’s nomination of coup-attempting, convicted criminal Donald Trump for president is a disgraceful low even for them. This party, which once claimed to stand for law and order, is now fully embracing a man who tried to overturn a democratic election and has a rap sheet to match. It’s clear the GOP has no interest in upholding democratic values or protecting our institutions. Voters must reject this dangerous circus act and stand up for integrity, justice, and the rule of law. The dysfunctional family values party. A sane country would embarrass them on election day. They deserve to lose big for the last four years alone, but they lost their minds as a party decades ago.… Continue reading
