Nikki Haley’s refusal to drop out of the race seems to be infuriating the ex-president, Donald Trump. And I have to say, it’s quite entertaining to watch. This woman knows how to get under his skin, and I have to applaud her for it. From refusing to obey his demand to drop out to out-raising him in fundraising, Haley is proving to be Trump’s Achilles heel.
What really seems to irk Trump is the fact that a woman is standing up to him. He demands 100% loyalty from his party, and anyone who criticizes or pushes back against him is met with his wrath.… Continue reading
Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court. As a concerned citizen and observer of American politics, I find this statement deeply troubling. The fundamental principles of our democracy are built on the rule of law and the balance of powers, with the Supreme Court playing a crucial role in upholding these principles. However, it seems that the Republican party is veering further away from its original principles in favor of partisan agendas.
One of the key issues raised is the Republicans’ selective obedience to Congressional subpoenas. They seem to believe that they can ignore subpoenas if they don’t agree with them, yet have no problem issuing subpoenas themselves and expecting them to be obeyed.… Continue reading
Mike Johnson Finally Admits Why He’s Killing the Border Deal
As a concerned citizen and someone who closely follows the political landscape, it was both frustrating and disheartening to read House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent comments on the border deal. In a moment of absentmindedness, Johnson let slip that he has been courting Donald Trump’s opinion “at length” on the very deal he is determined to kill. This admission raises several important questions about the motivations and priorities of our elected officials.
When questioned by Manu Raju of CNN, Johnson vehemently denied that his actions were influenced by Trump’s desire to campaign on this issue.… Continue reading
It’s not that MAGA doesn’t believe E. Jean Carroll, they just don’t care that Trump abuses women. This statement perfectly encapsulates the mindset of many within the MAGA base. It’s not a matter of disbelief or lack of evidence; rather, it’s a conscious decision to support a leader who has a well-documented history of mistreating and disrespecting women.
Under Trump’s leadership, American conservatism has become even more repugnant in its treatment of women. The abuse that Trump has directed towards Carroll is celebrated by MAGA, as they view it as putting her in her place. Trump’s undeniable misogyny finds resonance within the MAGA base because it aligns with their own sexist and patriarchal views.… Continue reading
Just the GOP trying to legislate the death of Democracy
It honestly baffles me how the American political system operates. As an outsider, I can’t help but notice the blatant barriers that are put in place to discourage people from voting. In my country, the Netherlands, the government sends the ballot to your home address automatically once you turn 18. There’s no need to register, stand in long lines, or travel great distances. Voting is accessible and convenient. It seems as though the US government is actively working against the idea of democracy.
What is even more concerning is the Republican Party’s continuous effort to suppress the vote.… Continue reading
Republicans Who Screamed About A Crisis On The Border Now Oppose A Plan To Fix It
As I read through the news and watched the political debates unfold, I couldn’t help but notice a glaring inconsistency in the Republican party’s stance on the border crisis. For months, they were the ones shouting from the rooftops about the urgent need for action. They painted a picture of a national security threat that required immediate attention from President Joe Biden.
And now, when a plan to address the issue is presented, they are suddenly opposing it. It’s almost as if they were more interested in using the border crisis as a political talking point rather than actually finding a solution.… Continue reading
As I read the headline “CIA director: Not passing Ukraine aid would be a mistake ‘of historic proportions'” my initial reaction was a mix of confusion, frustration, and disbelief. It feels like a surreal moment to witness the Republican Party, once known for its strong stance against Russia, now seemingly in its pocket. As someone who grew up during the height of the Cold War, it is disheartening to see the shift in perspective and the lack of consistency in political values.
I vividly remember participating in drills at school, where we would duck and cover, preparing for a potential nuclear attack from the Soviet Union.… Continue reading
‘It’s embarrassing’: Republicans worry they have no achievements to run on in 2024
As I reflect on the state of the Republican party and its potential lack of achievements to run on in the upcoming 2024 elections, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment. The GOP has always prided itself on being the party of action and progress, but recent years have shown a stark departure from that reputation. It seems that the party has been more focused on rolling back women’s rights, burning or banning books, and preventing access to cheaper medication, rather than on enacting policies that benefit the American people.… Continue reading
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
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
