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 sit here, reflecting on the headline “The Supreme Court Sounds Eager to Break the Government for Good,” a mixture of frustration and concern fills my mind. The article touches on a significant issue: the growing power of an unelected, conservative-dominated Supreme Court and its potential implications for our democratic system.
One key point raised in the comments is the potential shift in regulatory power. The Court’s recent major questions doctrine, which allows them to invalidate policies enacted by a Democratic president or Congress, is worrisome. It essentially gives untrained judges the authority to make decisions in regulatory fields where they lack expertise.… Continue reading
Trump attacks Haley while referring to her by her first name Nimarata. This headline has sparked discussions surrounding racism, predictability of Trump’s actions, and the ongoing threat he poses to democracy. As an Indian American woman myself, this issue hits close to home.
Firstly, the comments questioning whether the GOP voting bloc is racist and how they perceive non-white individuals are disheartening but not entirely surprising. Racism exists within every society, and it is naive to assume that it doesn’t exist within the Republican Party. However, it is crucial to note that not all Republicans are racist, just as not all Democrats are free from prejudice.… Continue reading
It isn’t exactly a secret anymore. It should be a headline by now – “Donald Trump is losing it.” This is something that has been persistently discussed in political circles, across social media, and even in hushed whispers among friends and family. Yet, the mainstream media seem avidly resistant to framing this narrative, and I find myself asking why they seem hesitant to make this an important story.
To paint the picture only from my observation, Trump has proven time and again his disposition to indulging his most baseless and incoherent rants. His vocalized thoughts are chaotic, bordering on nonsensical, and often leave people bewildered, asking, “did he just say that?”… Continue reading
As someone who prides themselves on being a moderate, I find it quite intriguing to watch the political landscape unfold as we approach the 2024 election. A crucial element in this unfolding saga is the ability, or I should say, inability, of Donald Trump to retain moderate support. There’s something particularly bewildering and perturbing about watching his waning appeal amongst procrastinating Republicans, independents, and undecided voters—people like me—who were once hopeful that an outsider might inspire change, but have since been disillusioned by the chaotic and divisive behemoth that is the “Trump legacy”.
And the Republican party isn’t helping the cause either.… Continue reading
Sure. He said this immediately after the impeachment, and even said Trump was responsible… except he declined to hold Trump responsible.
You misunderstand McConnell’s grand plan. He’s using the courts he tricked Trump into assembling to fuck him at every turn (election results, his tax returns, now J6) while supporting traditional conservative principles (minor wins for religious rights, campaign finance, likely wins for guns and abortion in Corlett and Dobbs coming out this summer). And while the courts destroy him piece by piece, the J6 committee led by two McConnell Republicans exposes the real dirt behind him and leaves him with his pants down for the Federalist Society graduate DOJ to come and collect.… Continue reading
This just teaches us that there is no triumph of mankind that is SO GREAT that people will not let their political delusions doom us anyway. If we hadn’t found ourselves in this shitty clown show where scientists are bad and facts don’t matter based on political leanings, this vaccine could have been touted as a massive victory for capitalism and human ingenuity.
Instead we can look forward to this:
-Car invented that runs on water! Climate change is solved! Mankind is saved!
-Oil companies and lobbyists “Idk guys this car battery seems a little rushed, might be unsafe. We should all continue to use fossil fuels instead.”… Continue reading
For some reason, this article evokes images of the OKC bombing in my mind. That was another period of right wing radicalism. The current situation feels worse, though.
Because at least when that domestic terror attack happened, our politicians and media rallied together to denounce it.
You didn’t have people creating multimillion dollar funds for Timothy Mcveigh’s defense, political leaders saying that maybe we need to listen to the Mcveighs of the world, and anybody attempting to justify him was immediately shunned.
We don’t have that now. If another domestic terror attack like that happened, it would split the country.… Continue reading
I’ve wondered the same thing, and have concluded there are 2 groups.
The first are rural imbeciles who literally are THAT dumb that they can’t see a walking cartoon conman. These are the same people who give TV preachers their money and so on.
The second, and larger group, are people who know full well that he’s a liar and a crook and a cheat and everything else, but they don’t care because he’s on THEIR side, and they WANT him to do whatever it takes to “win” their white culture war and make liberals cry.
Democrats always lose when they second guess what Republican voters want and then pander to that.
I’ll never understand this… the answer to what Republican voters want is… Republican politicians. There’s no way to appease that. They want to see and R and 95%+ of them don’t care about anything else.
ACA proved that. Obama went with a full appeasement strat: 1:1 introduce healthcare approach by top Repiblican candidate.
But because it was now a Democrat plan, states chose this hill to, in many cases literally, die on – rather than allow a black Democrat install republican policy on national level.… Continue reading
