The question I keep asking! Asking myself, my friends, my old co-workers, my neighbors and I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks to these ghouls and freaks, I am ridind the crazy carousel of fear, anxiety and disorienting Matrix-like reality where everyday its; wash, rinse & repeat. And I want off this amusement ride. I am NOT amused. I feel like Howard Beal, I am (fucking) mad as he'll and I can take it anymore!!
Ditto. And I know there is someone like Bannon or some other slithering fuck that is working these angles and like their sociopathic fellow criminals would like it if we are feeling fearful and off our balance. Oh how I resent this a-holes!!
Yeah, I don’t get it either. Our weirdos seem to fly their freak flags higher than other places. You would think that would work like insect repellent.
If only there was an actual repellent to get rid of these treasonous bottom - feeding sewer rats and their MAGA bullshit agenda. Perhaps there is a solution; vote and in epic numbers. If we csn get a record turnout at the polls, we have a chance to get rid of a lot of these despicable fucks including the tangerine turd, madman Mike and their fascist regime.
You would think that a blazingly loud fire alarm would be going off in every single House Member's head with a still-functioning brain! If that 1 person motion-to-vacate hasn't been deep-sixed by the new regime, I suggest that somebody uses it before MAGA Mike can do any real harm.
Sarah Cannon was as smart as a whip too. A college graduate who made a fortune off of her shtick. Had a 50+ year career with The Grand Ole Oprey and Hee Haw. She was quite a woman.
Thank you Jeff. Indeed, those seeking to concentrate power and wealth (antithetical to any form of democracy) are not even hiding their plans. This is not a secret Lewis Powell memo to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. They are putting their Project2025 plans out there for all to see.
And the current Speaker is just another working to concentrate power and wealth. While Johnson (or evil Harry Potter as I prefer) has his own secret agenda, this group of fringe extremists will welcome anyone into their fold who embrace authoritarian control by whatever means necessary. And all of their willfully ignorant followers and cultists believe that they are the anointed ones who will benefit when they have aligned the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches of government.
It is a continuation of the January 6th insurrection and attempt to overthrow the U.S. Government.
SO, from my limited reading on their website, Project 2025 seems like a terrorist organization looking to overthrow the U.S. government. That's what I see, but maybe that's just from my "radical Left" viewpoint. There is NOTHING on the left that even comes close to what the right does regularly, and I get "Leftist, Marxist, Baby-Eating Monthly," so I would know. They are freaks, all the time, in every way.
And then there's this, from Trump's Lies Social, in response to Colorado and other states working on removing him from the ballot because he incited an insurrection/rebellion:
"Our country will not survive," he says. "If Crooked Joe and the Democrats get away with removing my name from the ballot, then there will never be a free election in America again." ... "We will have become a dictatorship where your president is chosen for you."
That is like, a 10,000 IMAX projectors-worthy post from that dumpster fire. Now, this lazy asshole is just taking the truth of what the Left posts and reports, changes the names, and reposts it.
The TRUTH, of course, is that is Trump is re-elected, with terrorist groups like Project 2025 around, and there are MANY more because they're freaks, we will NEVER have a free election again. We'll move on to Putin-like results where Trump or his proxy will get 70-80% of the vote. VOTE like your life depends on it in 2024. VOTE like it is the last free and fair election in 2024. Just fucking VOTE BLUE!
And, just like everything Agent Orange says is a lie and projection, the 14th Amendment case in CO isn't being brought by Democrats in that state. It is by Republicans who want some other GOP candidate on the ballot since Trump in a 2-time popular vote loser.
They are truly the American Taliban. How ironic that the 7D and the Taliban would actually LOVE each other if they had the chance to speak. Except that slight variations in how they define God/Allah would mean they have to kill each other first.
And the extremely religious, whether here or in Afghanistan or Israel are...how can I put this? BREEDING LIKE RABBITS. So over time, they might well succeed due to their sheer numbers.
That's a shame, because I was in Budapest last winter, and really loved their hot springs. I've been planning to go back...whyyyyyy does everything always happen to meeeeee??
I was in Budapest about six or seven years ago, and loved the city. Too bad it has such a lousy government. Kind of how I feel when I visit my family in Jerusalem; love the city and people, despise its current government.
It’s really amazing. The sense of history and the archeological sites are stunning. When this settles down you should definitely go. I can give you good tour guide contacts when you’re ready.
Yes, flipping the House should be our main goal along with re-electing Biden. Certifying the election and controlling the government spending are important priorties for Congress.
Flipping the House seemed doable until this week's Republican power play in N.C. Their packed Republican legislature and supreme court officially approved their newly gerrymandered House District map. It should result in the 7 to 7 House member split to most likely 11 to 3 Repub.In a state virtually 50 - 50 between parties.
Ok, you got me there. I have been everything... atheist/agnostic/believer and I'd say Heaven is not going to help us here :D As Solomon (if he existed) said, "... Time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all."
We used to call these 7 Mountains Dominionists ..... Puritans. They were wackadoodle then and they're wackadoodle now.
What I don't get is how they think there's something in the New Testament that gives them the impetus to pursue their goals in the name of the guy who had no use for political power, and was mainly passin on a message of love, obedience to God's laws, and the apocalyptic coming of God's kingdom to Earth.
Let this fanatics take control, and they won't be figurative witch hunts any longer.
What bothers me the most about them is they're self-satisfied, self-righteous attitude of I'm right, and you're wrong, because my holy book says so. And that they are so fanatical in their devotion to their religious fervor, that they fail to realize that not everyone will be converted to their way of thinking, and there just aren't enough people on their side to enact the measures necessary to bring everyone to heel. It's what sparks revolutions.
And terrorism.
And Project 2025 does indeed scare the crap out of me, and we all need to make sure it never gets off the ground.
It's their FUCKING SMUGNESS that sets me off. They have no self-doubt, no second thoughts, no idea that others have a right to exist. I want to slap the SMUG off Little Mikey's face.
I believe only the born again types of the Christian Nationalist believers think ‘I’m right you’re wrong’. I think the ones in power positions just use religion as the mask under which lives an attempted hostile takeover of the U.S. but also hand in hand with any other nations that look ripe.
There’s a great reel on Instagram that the believers were raptured and the rest of the country became a paradise: no war, everyone had food, water, education, housing. Possibly the best video I’ve seen on this subject
Welp, the democracy thing was good while it lasted. Guess I’ll go find myself a used bible, some long skirts, a chastity belt and a shame mask. Yes, the latter was a real thing once: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/shame-masks-schandmaske
Reminder if you go, Americans can vote even if they live outside the US. Register as an overseas citizen with your most recent elections office. (I’m in France but vote in Florida). Different states may have different rules…
Ruth, I get it. I have been fighting since I was 16, doing demonstrations with VVAW. More marches and demos over 60-odd years, letter writing to my State and Fed Reps and various organizations, donations to so many causes I lost count years ago. I ALWAYS vote, I talk to my family and neighbors until they run when they see me coming (kidding), and do everything I can to reduce my energy footprint. I recycle and reuse (quilt-making from old clothes for example), I've planted literally thousands of trees, raise Monarchs to release, and am restoring a prairie.
I am now 71 and I'm fucking tired. I've EARNED a rest. Maybe I can spend a few years in Canada and get away from the disgusting politics and MAGAts here. So glad I didn't have kids.
If you are thinking of going to Vancouver, bring money! It is one of the most expensive places in Canada to live. Plenty of nice places in the interior of British Columbia, or even on Vancouver Island that are cheaper. The province itself is quite heavily taxed compared to west of there in Alberta, where I live. Unfortunately, Alberta is the most conservative of the provinces in Canada.
I'd like to know this answer too, if anyone knows. I always hear that it is not easy to become a citizen there and if you are retired, they probably don't want us.
I get that, Susan. I’m with you. I want our country back. Like all of us here. It is so hard to watch these people get away with the lies and hate. It is all around us. To think this is a win for them is heartbreaking. Be well...keep up your good work.🇺🇸🥰
It is hard to watch...just the fact this is even happening in a democracy is surreal. It isnt over till the election when I hope we turn out in DROVES to eliminate this threat. The Democrats need to be direct and assertive in their messaging. Now is not the time to be "nice". Our very livelihoods are now at stake.
Good lord, stupid piled on stupid! I guess it is all the same if they make asses of themselves with a spectacular show of ignorance. Keep burning those text books!
Project 2025 while on its surface appears to be merely authoritarian driven is in actuality a significant element in the Dominionist drive for control. MAGA Mike Johnson and Heritage Foundation President Kevin D. Roberts Ph.D are friends, like actual friends.
They both attended the University of Louisiana during the same time period. Johnson graduated in 1995 with a B.S. and finished at the University's law school obtaining a JD Degree in 1998; while Roberts completed his B.A. in History in 1996 going on from there to obtain a M.A. from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in American History from the University of Texas at Austin.
What most people are unaware of with regards to Project 2025 is that the super-majority of its Advisory Board members, especially its original first 20+ members are all in agreement with a Transcendent order worldview, that is to say they all believe that a deity is in control and that it is their responsibility to propagate a Biblical Worldview, and are active in asserting an erroneous view of the early founding father's as being of the same persuasions as current Dominion theologies, when in reality almost all of the founding fathers were in actuality deists at best. (See Morgann Sinclair Ph.D. for his excellent treatment of this topic at the following Substack article: https://www.politisage.com/p/in-the-beginning-christianity-deism)
In the meantime there is another organization that is operating on much the same premise as the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 that may be considered a friendly competitor that is almost strictly geared to installing Trump back into office; The America First Policy Institute; this organization is a who's who of former Trump White House Administration officials, as can be seen at the following link: https://americafirstpolicy.com/team
WOW! Thanks for this additional information and links. This just extends Jeff’s point to the max! We have got to vote BLUE across the board. Local, state, federal, everything has got to turn blue in all the upcoming elections.
Ah, this reminds me of the Spanish Inquisition. Even in modern history we can see many instances of people who look like each other fighting to the death over their religion or being hunted down because they have some kind of religion. America was founded on the desire for religious freedom and these bastards think that the time is right to do away with it?
So many people did horrible things and mistakenly thought that they had God on their side. Just sayin'.
What's worse is that these religious fanatics firmly believe that THEY deserve religious freedom, but anyone who doesn't believe like they do, does not.
At the risk of repeating myself, this particular Congress will be OUT OF OFFICE on January 3, 2025. That’s three days before the certification of the Electoral votes. The NEW Congress will be sworn in at noon EST So the Speaker of the next Congress will be in charge. If we can get enough Democrats elected to flip the House, the Speaker will be Hakeem Jeffries. That is why EVERY blue vote must count and every Democrat must vote.
Cassandra here yelling about school board elections for decades: I heard Ralph Reed, Phyllis Schlafly, and James Dobson, et al., laying out this strategy decades ago, and it’s born a shit-ton of fruit, including a whole line of now-viable candidates. How’s that? Welp, folks don’t know who their school board representatives are, who’s on the county commission/library board, state board of regents. These are the folks who thought that they were informed when they knew the presidential and congressional candidates, but knew locals only by a vague name recognition or left down-ticket ballots blank. And here we are wondering how the hell we got here. This is how.
The death of local newspapers has made us ignorant local citizens. I remember reading two local independent newspapers each day in this small town; they combined, then eventually were bought by USA Today. I sat down with my grandson to teach him how to count column inches and assign a %age. Excluding the weather map, something like 20% was dedicated to local news, 50% of that 20% was dedicated to local sports teams. Little or nothing about the county commission, the city council, library board, school board (unless someone was making a regular ass of themselves during comments period). Right before elections, the local paper so-called will run 1-column-inch bios on the local candidates -- nothing about their voting records, their sources of funding ... There are ways, but they are often hard to find.
Agreed. When I moved to my new area 3 years ago, I wasn’t here but a few months before there was a school board election. I had already re-registered, so set about finding info on the candidates. There was definitely stuff online via the local press, but you have to be diligent. Don’t just Google, but go to their actual sites. I’m happy to say most of the kooks didn’t win.
Sweet mother-of-Minnie Pearl how can anyone exist with a brain this bafflingly warped? And why is this bullshit acceptable to other lifeforms?
"Sweet mother of Minnie Pearl" Love this. 👍🤣
Thank you. Sometimes exhaustion is the mother of inspiration.
The question I keep asking! Asking myself, my friends, my old co-workers, my neighbors and I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks to these ghouls and freaks, I am ridind the crazy carousel of fear, anxiety and disorienting Matrix-like reality where everyday its; wash, rinse & repeat. And I want off this amusement ride. I am NOT amused. I feel like Howard Beal, I am (fucking) mad as he'll and I can take it anymore!!
Exactly how I feel. No words can describe it. It’s now just a big Dread.
Ditto. And I know there is someone like Bannon or some other slithering fuck that is working these angles and like their sociopathic fellow criminals would like it if we are feeling fearful and off our balance. Oh how I resent this a-holes!!

LOL!

I remember Minnie Pearl very well. She was on several TV shows back in the 50s.
HowDEE!
"I'm just so proud to be here!"
Minnie was the Comic Matron of The Grand Ole Opry in the '40s and '50s. Funny lady.
Sarah Cannon was as smart as a whip too. A college graduate who made a fortune off of her shtick. Had a 50+ year career with The Grand Ole Oprey and Hee Haw. She was quite a woman.
Have you ever lived in or been to Louisiana before? lol
The manipulation of religion in the pursuit of political power. They use scripture and religious tests to skirt accountability. It’s disgusting.
"Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues."
Scripture that they pick and choose to suit their world view
Who wrote that. Too true!
Ahhh sorry! Napoleon and I suppose a conqueror would know this...
At least a smart one would. That leaves the orange sadist out of it. Mikey Joe, though, for sure.

I think they’re planning on teaming up with Russia & Hungary to battle it out with the other non-Christian countries.

LMAO!!!
The Senate is only a vote or two away from being able to rubberstamp Mike Johnson's ideological shit.
The SCOTUS is already a 6-3 majority available to rubberstamp Mike Johnson's ideological shit.
MAGA has gained a foothold in the vote counting so that they can reject Democrat Presidency wins and Democrat Legislative wins.
Heaven Help Us.
It may not be the GOP speaker that certifies the election. It may be Hakeem Jeffries if we flip the House in 2024.
Fingers crossed!!!
Yes, flipping the House should be our main goal along with re-electing Biden. Certifying the election and controlling the government spending are important priorties for Congress.
Wish there were a “Love” option.
Flipping the House seemed doable until this week's Republican power play in N.C. Their packed Republican legislature and supreme court officially approved their newly gerrymandered House District map. It should result in the 7 to 7 House member split to most likely 11 to 3 Repub.In a state virtually 50 - 50 between parties.
Marc Elias just filed suit to stop the gerrymandered map. He almost always wins.
Their heaven or ours?

Frankly I'd like to do more to him than that. My ex and I had a "Shit List" but
what it was, was list of people we'd like to tie down and shit on their faces.
Mike is now at the top of my current "Shit List."
I like that!

I'm actually investigating Canada. Vancouver area.
So are we!
Ok, but it sounds like you are “giving up” the fight for Democracy and Freedom
Ruth, I get it. I have been fighting since I was 16, doing demonstrations with VVAW. More marches and demos over 60-odd years, letter writing to my State and Fed Reps and various organizations, donations to so many causes I lost count years ago. I ALWAYS vote, I talk to my family and neighbors until they run when they see me coming (kidding), and do everything I can to reduce my energy footprint. I recycle and reuse (quilt-making from old clothes for example), I've planted literally thousands of trees, raise Monarchs to release, and am restoring a prairie.

Thanks for the link. I will be, I'd imagine, spending many hours on Atlas Obscura in the future!
I love their site and followed them for years on Elmo’s crappy platform. I have to see if they’re posting elsewhere. Really interesting stuff.
Shame masks, holy sh_t. We haven't come very far apparently.
Nancy Mace has already made doing that a joke. They’ll have to think of something else to shame women.
Well, Nancy Mace wore one for the wrong reasons (because she’s a fucking idiot) and she’s not even married.

Agreed. When I moved to my new area 3 years ago, I wasn’t here but a few months before there was a school board election. I had already re-registered, so set about finding info on the candidates. There was definitely stuff online via the local press, but you have to be diligent. Don’t just Google, but go to their actual sites. I’m happy to say most of the kooks didn’t win.
Sorry, I meant both the news and candidates sued
This is terrifying and demoralizing. We HAVE TO WIN in 2024!
It’s worse than I ever thought. Thank you for putting it out there for your subscribers to read and become better informed.
