Back in 1968, I worked to help elect one of the first black mayors on the East Coast. Someone said to me, “They'll be just as bad as the corrupt old white politicians.” I replied, “Yep. They have the right to be just as bad as us."
Republicans have encouraged racism...it's appealing to the most primitive tendencies in uneducated people and divides us. Exactly what they want. We must be better than this, and vote these assholes out. It's exhausting but if we're to survive, vote blue down the ballot.
yeah, well, to be fair they're probably also having wet dreams about being like that rightwing nutjob religious family on the teevee, at least one of whom was outed as a molester of his own children. Mercifully, I can't remember details -- family name, tv show, whatever. But I do remember that it was in no way surprising.
But hey, if you're a baptized Christian, all humanity is your family! it's all good!
What still boggles my mind, though, is how any living, breathing, thinking person of color can remain in the republican party, knowing full well what a racist tribe it is. How do they convince themselves this is, in any way, a good thing?
They’ve been told over & over again that Dems promote “socialism “ & God forbid that the government help people in any way or we will become a socialist country-they think that’s worse than authoritarianism
There are Southern Democrats and the Dixiecrats. Not all Southern Democrats are Dixiecrats. My parents were Southern Democrats in Texas when John Connelly was Governor, Lyndon Johnson was Vice-President. I was in high school. They were still Southern Democrats after the signing of the Civil Rights bill and until their deaths. There is a difference. A big difference.
I remember that. I thought it was so stupid. Why not accept the fact that Black people are just as good as white people. Sure there are bad apples, but those bad apples are dispersed throughout all manner of people - no matter what color you are.
Yes, couldn’t agree more. See Civil Discourse Substack of June 5th on how we can all help even if you have little time to make sure we win this election for Biden and blue candidates.
"Not all Republicans are racists, but all racists are Republicans"
The second part is indisputable, but those "non-racist Republicans" don't find GOP racist rhetoric to be a deal-breaker so, really, what does it matter? They tolerate it. To hell with everyone in that party,
We have to. The white sheet rhetoric that comes out their mouths from both white and black GOP politicians further emphasizes the desire to have another confederate-like governing system. How black politicians find this MAGA-fueled bullshit insanity acceptable is anyone's guess. Perhaps it's similar to those assholes who continue to deny the holocaust.
This is America Rick. Everyone has the right to be as well informed or as stupid as they choose. Thank God we have a choice. May we all choose well and may the maga hat minions see the error of their ways.
and one of the first things the right did, decades ago, was to do their best to destroy public education in this country, and they've done a really fucking good job so far. So much for choice -- you have to know that there actually IS one to exercise your right to choose.
Notice how the public has already moved on from the trump ad that included "Unified Reich"! The strategy is to flood us with putrid, cowardly, demented comments so we just keep moving from one outrage to another.
That's been his method for decades. I caught a sniglet of one of The Apprentice producers on NPR a couple of days ago talking about what Trump is really like behind the scenes and it's exactly what you'd think. And he is a racist to the core and exhibited it over and over on set off camera for that whole stupid show that pretended he was an actual businessman. The last thing The Apprentice speaker said was Trump would never have become President without how they twisted and turned and put one more over on the audience to make Trump again look like something he's not. He said "nigger" and "nigga" multiple times in regard to contestants on that show and whether they should even be there or not, much like the comment "these are losers and nobody wants to see that."
Roger Stone and his Dirty Tricks Machine is in full operation now. In coordination with Putin's cyber propaganda army and Fox News and RT.com Similar to Hitler and the German American Bund in 1938-39. Only this time, this Hitler can threaten America with nuclear tipped hyper-sonic missiles. The war is on.
maybe? but journalism has become such a huge business (and huge mess, since the Fairness doctrine was trashed) that most of the major outlets are now owned/run by large corporations that are conservative by default. Conservative policy (and lack of ethics) and the media's self-interest are the biggest culprits.
Yeah-he said “who would have thought that this would be hard?” It has always amazed me that people think he’s some kind of great businessman after 6 bankruptcies & even recently when he was exposed as a fraud in the NY civil lawsuit where he couldn’t come up with the bail money to appeal without help from some other loser businessman-he’s totally compromised & a threat to our National Security and the media does not report that. He’s so vulnerable now that anyone could just buy him off. He even bribed oil executives with requests for campaign funds for who knows what in return-whatever it is it won’t be for the good of our country
God, I hope when this election is over (and assuming that the Orange Jenius doesn't cheat his way into "winning" -- something he's had a lot of practice doing) he's prosecuted for treason, and that the worst of the GQP goes down with him. FFS, any time his tiny fingers are moving on the tiny phone keyboard, he's an ongoing threat to national security.
You cannot convince me that he ever had any intention of making healthcare better. He was just making campaign promises -- and trolling Clinton -- remember? she was the person who was trying to get that done in the early 80s, and the rightwing nutjobs shut that whole thing down and then destroyed a LOT of social services. Remember her being labeled a "feminazi" and people like Rush Limbaugh saying Chelsea was ugly almost daily? (The GQP never minds a little personal character assassination in pursuit of a goal.)
People are so used to TV, that they don't realize there's a real world anymore and that Trump could actually damage something. It's all just an exciting 43 mins, and there will be another episode tomorrow.
I haven't watched TV since Reagan's first term. I was away for a month because I was busy with finals, and when I tried to watch again I couldn't stand it.
In response to TFG's rain aversion, at the 75th anniversary of the raid on Dieppe, Canada's PM Justin Trudeau closed his umbrella and gave his speech, getting drenched in the pouring rain. "Today it's rain," he said. "Then it was bullets."
The Republicans are all on the wrong side. History says f*ck you Republicans, I am what I am. Reality stands alongside History and says the same thing. We all stand against those who think that they are entitled to judge and rule over the rest of us and everyone who is dead.
I look forward to a good day in the real world and hope that you all have one also.
Like my racist neighbor says, "We never said this stuff out loud. Now we can." Our laws in this country are founded on racism. Right To Work laws, based on Jim Crow. Forced birth as been around since slavery. The more babies they birthed, the more their monetary value went up. Our militant police force, our banking system and the list goes on. We have our own American Apartheid sown in the fabric of this country. Which ties into our low information voters. Half this country is filled with bigoted dumb as dirt people. I'm sick to my stomach.
When my biracial grandson was a baby, we were at a concert in Aspen. Older white women would come up to us and say, "Is he adopted?" "No, 24 hours of labor and a c-section." Fuckers. Then they would make a face and walk away. This happened over 20x in 3 days. Assholes. I was pissed off.
My great Niece Ashley shares my birthday. She is married to another Ashley. How many people would be happy to see their marriage annuled and them punished? They are raising a little boy. Morality means accepting others, not judging.
Your neighbor hit the nail on the head. It’s why they will never turn on him, no matter what he says or does. Racism is the tie that binds his cult to him. I don’t understand how you hate people you’ve never met based on the color of their skin. It must be about being so insecure with yourself that you need people to look down on to make yourself feel better. I agree that it’s sickening.
I’m sorry you had to grow up like that but glad that you escaped the mentality. If republicans were honest, they would admit that they live fear based lives. Racism, nationalism, religion, gun rights.. everything they believe is fear based.
I think a lot of us grew up like that. I just admit it. The KKK was welcomed in most towns across this country. They did have over 10 million members at one time. These people are our parents and grandparents.
I didn't mean to offend you. I see the multi-generational aspects of this. In small towns, where I live, it is a huge part of the narrative. Micro-aggressions happen here every day.
You're right. My father was as racist as they come. He taught us fear. We heard the n-word from him constantly. Two of my brothers are racist as hell. I haven't spoken to them for over 30 years. The rest of us resisted our malignant narcissist/psychopath father. Malignant narcissists worship Agent Orange. Even mental health professionals are taking about our epic narcissist behavior in this country.
I never once heard my parents make a racist comment. Having said that, I grew up in small town KS where the weekly paper is called The Clyde Republican and the river that runs through it is the Republican River. I had wonderful parents. Having said that, following a lot of my friends on FB they’re all still Repubs. I moved many, many years ago. I’m appalled with some of their comments. I just roll my eyes and snooze them. Disagreements with them are a waste of time.
Totally agree-he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. He can’t make a sentence without saying “witch hunt, hoax, scam, rigged or disgrace. He hates the US & is working with Putin to take down democracy
No way is that debate ever happening. Trump's handlers won't allow his mental deficiencies to be out there for all to see. He will make some weird excuse and it probably will be Biden's fault too. smfh.
Tim Scott's district might be racially gerrymandered right out of existence, good riddance to him,at least he won't be pulled over driving to work anymore.
(He's presently a senator, so no district) but he sure as hell is on the wrong side if he had any interest in promoting helpful policies for South Carolina's black population - he might as well be Strom Thurmond.
I wonder if most black people in South Carolina don't call him "Uncle Tim". Auditioning to be the rich white man's lackey! South Carolina is a Deep Republican Deep South state and the racist white majority in ALL the deep South states are the ones who consistently vote to put Republicans into state and federal office. Tim Scott probably has very little black support there, but he doesn't need it, the key to victory down south is a big 'ol (R) beside your name on a ballot.
His thoughts remind me of the way Clarence Thomas apparently thinks-racist - yet they are ideas against their own race. They’re both in interracial marriages so what made them become racist? Doesn’t make sense
The whole made up thing about blacks being 'better off' during jim crow has modern equivalency. I live out in the country in the Deep South. I have to drive into town to shop. I see cars pulled over by the police and sheriff all the time and most of the time the people who were driving those cars were not white. All the doors, the trunk or tailgate are open - signs of a vehicle inspection - when they do pull over a white person, none of that is in evidence. The amount of cognitive dissonance a black rethuglican has to process is huge. You can't tell me Byron Donalds hasn't been pulled over for Driving While Black.
Trump still has above average energy, but his control over his body is slipping. He seems to lurch as he moves, and he reminds me more and more of the alien-infested farmer in the original Men in Black.
As for his brain--lurching only starts to describe it.
I do, there's 218 House Republicans,49 Senators,but who do we hear from?? The same 10 MAGA clowns,all the VP candidates,Donalds,Scott,Burgauhm,
Stefanik,Rubio,etc,(Help Wanted;must be willing to jump in volcano),just for kicks I tuned into 'Face the Nation' today, Margaret Brennan,she's tough!! A real bulldog!! But... Lindsey Graham..oh hell no,not interested, last week it was outgoing dissicated turd Mitch McConnell,I assume to take a healthy dump on democracy's grave,again,not interested. Democrats aren't welcome on corporate media any longer, it's all the MAGA propaganda recruitment network.
MASH reruns got me through med school! They were broadcast M-F at 5 PM. My group of misfits would always take a break from studying and head to the Student Lounge to watch. This was the days before VCRs. Yeah, I’m old. I aspired to be as caring and smart as Hawkeye, and maybe a third as funny. I knew I had a shot at the first 2 goals, but the third goal was definitely a long shot!
May he have a stroke that leaves him unable to walk or talk, and let us take a break from our decency just once and laugh at his state with his wheelchair on a stage.
James Baldwin wrote "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time" and sadly that's probably still true.
I was born during the Jim Crow era but by the time I was old enough to understand it, the 1964 Civil Rights Act had been passed. I was horrified even as a youngster by the violence and hatred of that era, it didn’t make any sense. I started reading books about it (my folks had quite the library). Guess what: it still doesn’t make any sense. Oh, I understand why it happened: a combination of racism, white supremacy, white privilege, fear, anger. Man’s inhumanity to man knows no bounds. Byron Donalds is playing a part in this hideous drama for a chance to play second fiddle to a man who knows no bounds.
absolutely astounding that these republiKKKans cunts have a problem with the POTUS talking about standing for freedom and defending democracy, but are o.k. with their führer calling the fallen heroes who died fighting fascism, "suckers and losers"...FUCK each and every one of them, there is nothing - and I mean, NOTHING - that could happen to ANY of them that would make me feel bad...each and every one of today's republiKKKans who supports Agolf Shitler (I still love that one!) is a disgusting POS who by their words and actions, is pissing on the graves of the over 400,000 brave Americans who died fighting that ignorant shit...what the actual fuck is wrong with 70 something million Americans who support day 1 dicktator??????
The uneducated are what the GOP rely on to vote for them-they believe all that fear mongering crap that the KKK spews out. That’s why they want school vouchers so tax payers can pay for private Christian schools
To paraphrase Jonathan Swift's headstone, you deserve a day off from having your heart torn by savage indignation. One should ask the likes of Eric Erickson why the shoe fits so well on his master? Many would have thought Old Joe was describing a certain Vladimir Putin, not specifically the orange hedgehog. Exile to Fort Fuck, Fuckistan is no longer far enough; such Xitter scribblers should be sent to the lonely regions beyond Transfuckistan, past lonely Fukov Lake, across the Buggerov River, to the howling wilderness of Sodoff where the snows never cease and the inbred locals drive around in circles on their Skidoos in a grim sad parody of a Mad Max movie. There, such hacks could write thundering-against editorials for the local Pennysaver.
I watched Miss Joy take down Donalds. She was ready for him. He was trying to say the Great Society program was bad, and chose the way wrong way to talk about it.
Something I'm not hearing talked about is in that clip: the murmurs of agreement after he said it.
He may be among the 7 dwarves on the short list (and that may just be a stunt. Like I said before, Trump treats this whole business like it's his old game show), but the backlash just got him knocked off it. (Him, Burgums, Stefanik, Carson, Scott, Rubio, and I forget #7)
I think he will pick JD Vance for his VP because he’s similar to Cheeto boy in that he was not a politician before he became a Senator. The uninformed believe that businessmen (particularly white businessmen) should be running the country-you know, because they know what’s best for the average American citizen
The Projection Party and all its little projectionists. It is astonishing that they're okay with vile words, accusations and MAGA hysteria unless a Democrat edges up on saying the right thing without mentioning them and if Trump were not Trump doing the revenge, lie and hate tour, they never would even think to turn this into something it's not.
If Byron Donalds is so keen on the family unit, why would he support Trump? Meliana has not been seen on the campaign trail or at either of Trump's trials instead of Joe Biden? The first lady has been with the president during all his travels which is a strong showing of a committed family.
As Lawrence O’Donell would say: “And Joy Reid gets the last word”. She indeed got that last punch in against Byron Donald’s. Well done Joy. 👏👏👏 🏆
Perhaps she could have said if Lincoln had your politics you’d be working some white man’s plantation now instead of a man free to have idiotic ideas.
Back in 1968, I worked to help elect one of the first black mayors on the East Coast. Someone said to me, “They'll be just as bad as the corrupt old white politicians.” I replied, “Yep. They have the right to be just as bad as us."
She takes no prisoners
it's probably not a good idea to engage in a battle of wits with Ms Reid if you are going to show up unarmed...
Joy Ann does NOT suffer fools !
Republicans have encouraged racism...it's appealing to the most primitive tendencies in uneducated people and divides us. Exactly what they want. We must be better than this, and vote these assholes out. It's exhausting but if we're to survive, vote blue down the ballot.
Racism is only one form of tribalism. They use religion and party loyalty for the same reasons.
& MISOGYNY
Damn straight. And sadly so many conservative have horrible internalized misogyny that they just go with it.
yeah, well, to be fair they're probably also having wet dreams about being like that rightwing nutjob religious family on the teevee, at least one of whom was outed as a molester of his own children. Mercifully, I can't remember details -- family name, tv show, whatever. But I do remember that it was in no way surprising.
But hey, if you're a baptized Christian, all humanity is your family! it's all good!
Can I like this 15 more times??
What still boggles my mind, though, is how any living, breathing, thinking person of color can remain in the republican party, knowing full well what a racist tribe it is. How do they convince themselves this is, in any way, a good thing?
If’s the same as poor people voting Republican
They’ve been told over & over again that Dems promote “socialism “ & God forbid that the government help people in any way or we will become a socialist country-they think that’s worse than authoritarianism
And members of the LGBTQ+ community and vagina Americans.
When Johnson signed the Civil Rights bill, all those Dixiecrats went to the Republican Party. Encouraged by the Republican Party.
Southern Democrats became Republicans
There are Southern Democrats and the Dixiecrats. Not all Southern Democrats are Dixiecrats. My parents were Southern Democrats in Texas when John Connelly was Governor, Lyndon Johnson was Vice-President. I was in high school. They were still Southern Democrats after the signing of the Civil Rights bill and until their deaths. There is a difference. A big difference.
No, I meant Dixiecrats. You’re right
I remember that. I thought it was so stupid. Why not accept the fact that Black people are just as good as white people. Sure there are bad apples, but those bad apples are dispersed throughout all manner of people - no matter what color you are.
Yes, couldn’t agree more. See Civil Discourse Substack of June 5th on how we can all help even if you have little time to make sure we win this election for Biden and blue candidates.
Trump gave them the right to show their racisms on full display. I loathe that fuckface
Even worse than that, he made it both "popular" and "patriotic." And his minions ate it up.
Hear it all the time:
"Not all Republicans are racists, but all racists are Republicans"
The second part is indisputable, but those "non-racist Republicans" don't find GOP racist rhetoric to be a deal-breaker so, really, what does it matter? They tolerate it. To hell with everyone in that party,
If the Nazis think you're a Nazi, you're probably a Nazi.
We have to. The white sheet rhetoric that comes out their mouths from both white and black GOP politicians further emphasizes the desire to have another confederate-like governing system. How black politicians find this MAGA-fueled bullshit insanity acceptable is anyone's guess. Perhaps it's similar to those assholes who continue to deny the holocaust.
This is America Rick. Everyone has the right to be as well informed or as stupid as they choose. Thank God we have a choice. May we all choose well and may the maga hat minions see the error of their ways.

Awhile back Bill Maher had a good line,”Not all Republicans are racist but if you are a racist you’re probably a Republican.”
Steven Beschloss wrote an article two years ago that is still relevant today: https://www.americaamerica.news/p/burning-down-the-house
Notice how the public has already moved on from the trump ad that included "Unified Reich"! The strategy is to flood us with putrid, cowardly, demented comments so we just keep moving from one outrage to another.

This should be world-wide news!
Most of the free, civilized world knows it already. It’s the magafucks and their ilk who are choosing to believe the alternative facts.
No one should say, "Seeing is believing."
They should say, "TV is believing."
I turned it off for the last time 40 years ago. First it was the advertising, then the shows themselves. I don't miss it.
I got off Twitter about a year ago. Doing so elevated my mood a lot. Instead of arguing with vile idiots I practice on classical guitar.
I would point out the inventor of that show is an immigrant...
So was Trump’s family!
Every single one of us is. We all came from somewhere else. Native Americans walked here from Siberia.
As his father 👨 before him was a racist and big time slum lord.
Roger Stone and his Dirty Tricks Machine is in full operation now. In coordination with Putin's cyber propaganda army and Fox News and RT.com Similar to Hitler and the German American Bund in 1938-39.

Same with his crimes. Commit so many of them that the glacial justice system can’t keep up
I call it the celebrity-besotted culture.
journalists have so let us down. I wonder if it's because of management, because that's almost always the case in every situation...
maybe? but journalism has become such a huge business (and huge mess, since the Fairness doctrine was trashed) that most of the major outlets are now owned/run by large corporations that are conservative by default.

Same thing happened with greasy food.
And as always, it's more of the same.
This is true, and it’s exhausting.

Trump ,makes fun of Biden's stutter and his audience howls with delight.
Napalm a Trump rally.
Trump mocks Biden’s stutter when he can’t even cobble together 2 coherent phrases in one sentence.His disgusting word salads should be daily news.
And the Trump Trash say Biden is senile.
Compare Trumpp today to Trump in 1990. He's lost most of his marbles. His vocabulary is like a 10 year old now.
Totally agree-he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. He can’t make a sentence without saying “witch hunt, hoax, scam, rigged or disgrace. He hates the US & is working with Putin to take down democracy
By the second debate he will have lost control of his saliva.
No way is that debate ever happening. Trump's handlers won't allow his mental deficiencies to be out there for all to see. He will make some weird excuse and it probably will be Biden's fault too. smfh.
He could be carried out on a stretcher and the maggots would still say he won the debate
If only we could.
Byron is an ass kissing Uncle Tom of epic proportions! Shame on him! If his mother is alive, oh man I bet she’s as embarrassed as any mother could be!

The amount of cognitive dissonance a black rethuglican has to process is huge. You can't tell me Byron Donalds hasn't been pulled over for Driving While Black.
Stephen- is it worse when they get pulled over if it’s a mixed race couple?
I can answer that , YES.From experience.
I don't know.
Trump still has above average energy, but his control over his body is slipping. He seems to lurch as he moves, and he reminds me more and more of the alien-infested farmer in the original Men in Black.
As for his brain--lurching only starts to describe it.
Oh I remember that character! Creepy. And now I can’t unsee it whenever I catch a blimps* of the Felonious Cheeto. Which is rare.
Does anyone else press the mute button and fast forward whenever a news show has a clip of the Spastic Orange Glitcher?
*I meant to type “glimpse” but must have mistyped to something closer to blimps. Decided not to correct it as it seems to fit.
Works for me.
blimpse = blooper + glimpse?
Any sighting of Trump is definitely a mistake.
And his voice! Jesus, I hate his lying, anus lipped, whiney voice.
I do, there's 218 House Republicans,49 Senators,but who do we hear from?? The same 10 MAGA clowns,all the VP candidates,Donalds,Scott,Burgauhm,
Stefanik,Rubio,etc,(Help Wanted;must be willing to jump in volcano),just for kicks I tuned into 'Face the Nation' today, Margaret Brennan,she's tough!! A real bulldog!! But... Lindsey Graham..oh hell no,not interested, last week it was outgoing dissicated turd Mitch McConnell,I assume to take a healthy dump on democracy's grave,again,not interested. Democrats aren't welcome on corporate media any longer, it's all the MAGA propaganda recruitment network.
You are right
I can’t find my remote fast enough. My go alternative station usually has an old Mayberry show running that calms me down
I watch murder shows to cheer me up 😊
MASH is usually my first choice to tune out the orange turd.
Learn a foreign language, learn a musical instrument, turn off the TV.
TV doesn't usually go on until after 5 pm. Music is a great alternative and I'm attempting to play my bass more and teach myself acoustic guitar.
MASH reruns got me through med school! They were broadcast M-F at 5 PM. My group of misfits would always take a break from studying and head to the Student Lounge to watch. This was the days before VCRs. Yeah, I’m old. I aspired to be as caring and smart as Hawkeye, and maybe a third as funny. I knew I had a shot at the first 2 goals, but the third goal was definitely a long shot!
I hit the mute button in a nanosecond when the Orange Turd opens his mouth!
“I’m not listening to that lying moron!”
I declare as the mute button is rammed!
The remote control is one if the great inventions of the 20th century— with the
“mute” button not far behind.
I made a deadman switch wired to a speaker plugged into the earphone jack many years before there were remotes.
It won't be long before Trump is being wheeled around and strapped on a furniture dolly.
Ala the late great Hannibal Lector 🤔
😁
😂
May he have a stroke that leaves him unable to walk or talk, and let us take a break from our decency just once and laugh at his state with his wheelchair on a stage.
That stroke also needs to keep him from being able to use his thumbs, or however he types on his phone.
YES!!!
That way he can move his lips and play the air accordian without losing his balance or what's left of his train of thoughtzzzz
He might not make it to November.
Nah, too evil to die.
Did you see the clip of him that Jimmy Kimmel had? Donnie is literally foaming at the mouth. It’s insane.
He’s slumped over when he sits-like he can’t sit upright
LURCH was more graceful & eloquent 😉
And the Unman in Perelandra.
James Baldwin wrote "To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a state of rage almost, almost all of the time" and sadly that's probably still true.
I was born during the Jim Crow era but by the time I was old enough to understand it, the 1964 Civil Rights Act had been passed. I was horrified even as a youngster by the violence and hatred of that era, it didn’t make any sense. I started reading books about it (my folks had quite the library). Guess what: it still doesn’t make any sense. Oh, I understand why it happened: a combination of racism, white supremacy, white privilege, fear, anger. Man’s inhumanity to man knows no bounds. Byron Donalds is playing a part in this hideous drama for a chance to play second fiddle to a man who knows no bounds.
And a man who would spit on him before he would shake his hand! How they don’t realize he’s “playing” them! All losers, every last one of them!
When Byron Donalds sons have grown to manhood what will they think of their father?
absolutely astounding that these republiKKKans cunts have a problem with the POTUS talking about standing for freedom and defending democracy, but are o.k. with their führer calling the fallen heroes who died fighting fascism, "suckers and losers"...FUCK each and every one of them, there is nothing - and I mean, NOTHING - that could happen to ANY of them that would make me feel bad...each and every one of today's republiKKKans who supports Agolf Shitler (I still love that one!) is a disgusting POS who by their words and actions, is pissing on the graves of the over 400,000 brave Americans who died fighting that ignorant shit...what the actual fuck is wrong with 70 something million Americans who support day 1 dicktator??????
Great comment Mountainboymike
Many of them Republitards just vote
anti-Democrat - the rest are in the cult.
They have no appreciation of what we did 80 years ago- or just too stupid to know the truth.
The uneducated are what the GOP rely on to vote for them-they believe all that fear mongering crap that the KKK spews out. That’s why they want school vouchers so tax payers can pay for private Christian schools
To paraphrase Jonathan Swift's headstone, you deserve a day off from having your heart torn by savage indignation. One should ask the likes of Eric Erickson why the shoe fits so well on his master? Many would have thought Old Joe was describing a certain Vladimir Putin, not specifically the orange hedgehog. Exile to Fort Fuck, Fuckistan is no longer far enough; such Xitter scribblers should be sent to the lonely regions beyond Transfuckistan, past lonely Fukov Lake, across the Buggerov River, to the howling wilderness of Sodoff where the snows never cease and the inbred locals drive around in circles on their Skidoos in a grim sad parody of a Mad Max movie. There, such hacks could write thundering-against editorials for the local Pennysaver.
😂😂😂😂
Good Lord Francine. YOU are awesome !
👏👏👏👏
I watched Miss Joy take down Donalds. She was ready for him. He was trying to say the Great Society program was bad, and chose the way wrong way to talk about it.
Something I'm not hearing talked about is in that clip: the murmurs of agreement after he said it.
He may be among the 7 dwarves on the short list (and that may just be a stunt. Like I said before, Trump treats this whole business like it's his old game show), but the backlash just got him knocked off it. (Him, Burgums, Stefanik, Carson, Scott, Rubio, and I forget #7)
I'm also hearing the Melon Colored Felon wants his namesake son as VP. I shit you not and I would not be surprised.
Kushner was my choice. A good straight man like Pence.
🤯
Vance
JD Vance
I think he will pick JD Vance for his VP because he’s similar to Cheeto boy in that he was not a politician before he became a Senator. The uninformed believe that businessmen (particularly white businessmen) should be running the country-you know, because they know what’s best for the average American citizen
I've heard, f4om someone who knows someone who knows someone, so we'll see, that he's going to choose his coke addled son.
Vance is Putin’s pick.
Really? Had not heard that
There was an article about that in the Daily Kos.
🤮🤮
Beard
Them Cotton balls are rotten .
I had thought so, but no, he wasn't in the list that got vetting materials.
Seventh-generation racist
🤮
Please, enjoy your day. As much as I love JT sass, I'd like knowing better than you're taking a well-deserved R&R. Cheers!
The Projection Party and all its little projectionists. It is astonishing that they're okay with vile words, accusations and MAGA hysteria unless a Democrat edges up on saying the right thing without mentioning them and if Trump were not Trump doing the revenge, lie and hate tour, they never would even think to turn this into something it's not.
MAGA hatefest 2024
If Byron Donalds is so keen on the family unit, why would he support Trump? Meliana has not been seen on the campaign trail or at either of Trump's trials instead of Joe Biden? The first lady has been with the president during all his travels which is a strong showing of a committed family.
TFG’s nepo kids showed up intermittently sans Ivanka. They just want to change their last names so people stop despising them online.
This family is like Roy Cohn built it and they operate using his insane behavior and politics and powers.
