A bit slow in the draw though.

They only believe it is merit when achieved by a white male.

A sadistic act of persecution aimed at a tiny, powerless minority. A human rights violation

True. And they are willing to lose democracy itself to get it back.

Works for Putin. Except Putin doesn’t fire so much as poison and/or toss people out of windows.

AI thinks “The core mission of the US military is to deter war and protect the security of the United States by providing combat-credible military forces, ensuring the nation's safety and advancing its interests through alliances and partnerships.” Not as ‘wage-war-ry’ as Hegseth seems want it to be

Yet they want to get rid of early and mail-in voting which spreads the ‘number of transactions’ over a longer period of time.

Couldn’t these guys simply have gotten counseling? Do they have to act out their neuroses by destroying America?

Sad to know all the anti-mRNA vaccine people will have to turn this treatment down to remain loyal to MAGA beliefs.

DOGE is counting on voters not looking beyond immediate gratification.
comment in response to
post
DOGE apparently plans to bribe the public into acquiescence by promising to (maybe) return a part of the savings to taxpayers. That means (if they actually made good in it) they are counting on Americans to be willing to trade democracy for an autocracy for a one-time payment of maybe $1,500.

They have to go after social security, medicare, unions and woman’s rights first. Then they’ll get to the journalists.

The better to ‘manage’ mail-in and absentee ballots.

There is no way to ensure a fair election given the relentless attacks by Russia on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure. Obviously Putin wants to try to force an election (and is getting help from both Musk and Trump) so he can manipulate the results. As he has done before in Ukraine & elsewhere

Elon needs it to rig every election going forward. The way Putin does.

Putin certainly does.

Musk is the snowflake

Wonder what kind of ‘masculine’ urges Vance is talking about. Something tells me he isn’t just talking about things that are culturally frowned upon, he’s talking about things that have long been illegal.

This should provide enough evidence to have him removed from office. But the press will say Trump is just trolling us. He’s not. He really does think he is the ruler, the owner of America. As the rich kid who inherited a family business where everyone reported to him, it’s all he knows.

Putin is his role model. And Putin may well be the richest man on earth from stealing his country’s wealth

Maybe if we cut the number of Representatives in the House and Senators in Congress in half we could save some money. I’m thinking it should come from the Republican side since they have already abandoned their role in what is supposed to be a separate but equal branch of the government.

Israel knew which candidate would hand them Gaza without a two state compromise. And it was not Biden.

Democracies are for the people, by the people. And start at the grassroots. The people could not field any better candidate.

You don’t think voters bear any responsibility for their voting decisions?

Reassess what the term ‘literally’ means. Trump literally said he wants to move Palestinians permanently out. Biden literally never backed away from his long-held 2-state solution.
comment in response to
post
Biden still believed in a 2-state solution and despite Israel’s excessively deadly war-crime response to the October attack, he was still trying to negotiate a ceasefire that would save Palestinian lives and would have helped them rebuild. Trump supports a true, full genocide. That’s who you let win

Yep. She was black and female on purpose.

Yes.

And ‘we thought Trump would help the Palestinians even though everyone who knew anything about Trump told us he’d be worse’
comment in response to

Because ‘Trump is mentally unfit to be President’ is hardly news.

They most assuredly will cook the books now that they have eliminated the inspectors general.

And very little work experience at all: the key players are all in their early 20s. Well, except for the 19 year old.

Woke DEI is what good parents have always taught their children to be. It’s basically the golden rule.
