In a shocking turn of events, the GOP is poised to kill the border-Ukraine package that it initially demanded. It’s clear that most Republicans have no interest in continuing the debate that has divided their party even further. The GOP now wants to move on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who pushed for linking border policy changes with aid to Ukraine.
The White House has strongly opposed this reversal, stating that it does nothing to secure the border or help Ukraine defend itself against Putin’s aggression. The GOP’s actions also neglect the security of American synagogues, mosques, and vulnerable places of worship, as well as deny humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, many of whom are women and children.… Continue reading
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
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
It’s often with a sense of amusing irony that one encounters headlines about situations where the proverbial shoe is on the other foot; however, the recent news of the Michigan GOP defaulting on a $500,000 loan is more than just a punchline—it is a stark and chilling testament to the state of affairs in Michigan’s political terrain. The GOP, a party long self-professed as the champion of fiscal responsibility and the torchbearer for running the government like a business, has found itself in the throes of fiscal mismanagement and allegedly fraudulent attempts to pay-off sizable debt.
Reports suggest that the state Republican party attempted to sell a building it didn’t own in a bid to offset this debt—a claim that is concerning at best and scandalous at worst, and one that they reportedly failed to actualize owing to legal repercussions.… Continue reading
So much of conservative culture is “cool guy badass aesthetic” and “cops are awesome all of a sudden because BLM are brown terrorists”
There is no logic. There is no thought process. It’s gut reactions and slapping loud messages on muh truck.
Anti-government but pro-militias-that-enforce-the-government-they’re-against
Anti big government except when it comes to a huge ass military, huge police forces, controlling a person woman’s body, government hand outs to the rich, government interfering with an election if it helps them win, strictly patrolled boarders, and Im sure there are more
They’re not really anti big government. I have sat down, in person, with a few conservatives in my family to talk about the fact that every conservative administration has resulted in increased spending and an expansion of federal powers.… Continue reading
She’s one of the worst extremist politicians out there. Everything Democratic is communism, every Democrat is a socialist, every bill not brought forth by Republicans is wasteful, illegal, blah blah blah. She insists on voting No on anything put forth by Democrats, just because it’s from Dems. Yet everyone knows if Republicans put forth the same bill, she’d be screaming for it to be passed. She is a grifter, a fearmonger, a hypocrite and a bigot. If it had been Democrats who stormed the Capitol to try to disrupt the confirmation of Trump as President, she absolutely would be calling for the death penalty for all of them.… Continue reading
