[japhy]

So many trivial things.

Yes. But one of the things that is killing the party is that replacing 5% of the base by the other 95% getting 5% louder is not a viable strategy!

“He’s the most Godly president in my lifetime”

I think that if we are being intellectually honest, we can all agree that if Jesus had lived another 30 years he would have had 3 wives, talked about fucking his own daughter, raped a woman, paid hush money to his concubines and used charitable donations to commission a vanity portrait of himself.

I mean that would just be Jesus doing Jesus stuff.

The percentage of American parents with children < 16 y/o who have any personal experience with the communicable "childhood" diseases that used to infect nearly all of the nation's children before the invention of vaccines to prevent them is, imo, likely < 1%. That naiveté renders them susceptible to anti-vax fear-mongers who seize the opportunity to manipulate them for $ and/or influence/power, and leaves their children and society susceptible to a myriad of potentially serious diseases and their consequences.

Meanwhile, Reagan et al*, spin in their graves:

Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., hit back at Republican colleague, Sen. Eric Schmitt, over ageist comments Schmitt made in regards to the Senate's passing of the foreign aid bill.


*“Et al.” is an abbreviation of the Latin term “et alia,” which means “and others.” It's used in source citations to save space when there are too many authors to name them all.

The list of "and others" is much too long to list, and includes many, many people on both sides of the isle. "Both sides of the isle". What a quaint concept. You would think that maybe, just maybe, there were a few things we could still agree on, like opposing one of the other super powers in the world that has been out to undermine our society by any and every means possible for the last ~ 75 years. But, no. Like what seems like everything else, e.g., accepting election results and the peaceful transfer of power, it's fodder for disagreement and division, and possibly violence, too.

Thanks Trump, you pos. Arguably the most flawed and ignorant president in a century or more.

A living breathing example of someone being brainwashed.

first orban, and now bukele…both authoritarians welcomed with enthusiastic applause to the cpac stage

do these people not realize, or just not care that all of our freedoms might very well come under attack should we continue down this road?

free speech?
freedom of the press?
freedom of religion?
heck, even being free to discuss and talk shit on random message boards could fall by the wayside

i’m sure they think they’re on the “winning” side, thouh…

The permanent minority party needs to subjugate the majority in order to provide jobs to children. "There's room for you inside."

Rep Byron Donalds: "IVF is something that is so critical to a lot of couples. It helps them breed great families."

I will point out that it is certainly a choice for a Black Trump supporter to not at least lie low for a few days after Trump pitched Black people by saying they in particular should identify with him, what with the indictments and all.

What do you expect from an ethnic group that LOVES sneakers?

Waiting to cross the street at Michigan and Delaware.
Red light. Cross walk is white (white in Chicago - not green) for me to cross. I start crossing and a guy in a Mercedes decides he wants to go through the red light. Almost hits me. He puts his hands up and then gives me the finger. Guy walking next to me says - "He must be a Democrat".

This is why she is beloved, because her life is so relatable. Who hasn't had to drive to home to see if their ex threw their shit in the pond?

WINDSOR, Colo. — On a recent February afternoon, Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Colo.) campaign manager walked into a coffee shop for a gathering of the Pachyderm Club, a local Republican group, and spoke briefly on behalf of his candidate. Boebert wasn’t there herself; she was back in her old district, figuring out whether her ex-husband had thrown her belongings into a pond.

That morning, Boebert had driven to her old house to retrieve the last of her things from a farmhouse on their property, which she’d moved into as their marriage began to fall apart. He still lived in the main house and, according to Boebert, when she called him ahead of her arrival he told her she could find her stuff “at the bottom of the pond.” That turned out not to be true, but he had removed her stuff and put it into a storage trailer without her consent, she said. Boebert called the police and got a temporary restraining order.

This one just oozes rubepublican "family values". We won't be seeing her signs out in the Empire any more.
