Every time you think he couldn’t possibly fall any further from grace, Alan Dershowitz proves you wrong. There literally is no bottom for conservatives and Trump supporters; there is no low that’s too low, no incredulously asinine argument they won’t argue in favor of.

Witness tampering and witness intimidation are very real things, and Donald Trump and his acolytes would love nothing more than to expose the names of the Trump jurors so that they can incite mob violence against them. And they have already done so whenever the opportunity has presented itself.

As usual, the giveaway is always that whatever “rules” they want to inflict on others, somehow never applies to themselves nor their family and friends.

It’s even worse than we could have imagined… smh 😔

Georgia Oopsie! “Pro-Life” Republican candidate for the Senate, Herschel Walker, has to explain why his ex-girlfriend has the receipts for her abortion that he paid for and the check he sent in her “get well” card. The voters in Georgia still might send him to the senate because their pro-”family values” stand is only for show anyway. 

The Trumpublican/Democrat divide

Yahoo recently published some polling which has concerning views from our Trumpublican friends. I recommend taking a look. Quite a bit of it is Covid stuff. Let’s take a look at some of the lowlights I selected. ******** How concerned are you that native-born Americans are losing economic, political, and cultural influence in this country to immigrants? I do have some trouble with Yahoo’s…

why do bites sports people have to talk about their dogs like they're some sort of uncontrollable weapon. isn't the point that the dog does the behaviors on trained command?

Trumpublican corruption.

Note that this [feud between Laura Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene] is a very predictable development when it comes to extremist movements, both left and right. When they have a clear goal (e.g., overthrow the tsar, exterminate non-Aryans, impose a theocracy on Iran, elect Donald Trump), they can usually get along. But eventually, they start to bicker over what the true purpose of the movement is, and they start accusing one another of not being "true" believers. The Trumpublican faction appears to be in the early stages of this, but you should expect to see more of this sort of finger-pointing.

But racism aside: this is going to help a lot of white people, too. Almost everyone knows SOMEONE who's gonna benefit from the student loan forgiveness. The opposition to it makes no sense at all

Yeah, but you see: BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS did it, and that means the people who have built their entire identity on virulently opposing everything that they do and calling them illegitimate usurpers of Ultimate MAGA God King Trump are literally incapable of actually assessing it logically. They have Fox News and Bannon and all the other poisonous right wing Iagos whispering in their ear, painting it in the worst possible light, and besides, they gave up long ago on the idea that government should help anyone, even if it’s them. If it's a Democratic government, they are illegitimate leftist commie liberal cheaters. If it’s the Trumpublicans, they don't care if they get any substantial economic benefits (or really anything at all), as long as Trump feeds them their preferred diet of hatred, violence, and white supremacist talking points. Government, in their mind, does not ever exist to help people as a physical entity. It is either a violent evil to be destroyed, or an ideological vehicle for projecting their own violent evil (which of course to them is boundlessly justified) onto everyone else.

So yes. Racism is a big part of the objection, but it also comes from people who have been so thoroughly fed on the If You Don't Pull Yourself Up By Your Bootstraps, You Are A Bad American libertarian economic fantasy that they object to anything that might also help them. They don't want Handouts From The Government etc etc, and in this case, when the DEMOCRATS did it, that means it is evil by default. There is no objective analysis of reality; there is only endless ideological shrieking. So yeah.

Just to emphasize: Mike Johnson is an antivaxxer, an anti-abortion forced bither, he believes the job of poor women is to give birth to an infinite supply of low wage jobseekers, he is a climate change denier, he wants to cut Social Security + Medicare + Medicaid, and he’s a “Trump won!” Republican. And House Republicans just unanimously voted for him as Speaker of the House.

Please take note: there are no “moderates” in the Republican Party.

Oh a girl can dream.. right? 💭✨

The Yiga are just Hyrule's Trumpublicans.

The Nazi Fascist Trumpublicans are coming after our National Parks and Monuments. Are we gonna let 'em destroy what rightfully belongs to everyone? (Think about this if you're planning a vacation trip to a National Park or Monument this Summer.)

Out you go, rinos.

April 4, 2024

Not since its founding in 1854 has the Republican Party undergone such an abrupt transformation. It took generations for the Party to morph from its radical anti-slavery roots into a conservative opposition to the likewise metamorphosed liberal Democrats.

In its march through the last century from Goldwater to Reagan to the Tea Party, the GOP positioned itself as a political organization staunchly dedicated to orthodox conservative principles. Enter Donald Trump, a political neophyte with a talent for demagoguery. Employing mendacity and intimidation, Trump managed within a few short years to dominate the Party and bend it to his sociopathic will. Now, Republicans have discovered this means exacting retribution upon any individual who crosses, criticizes or contradicts him.

Accordingly, the Party under Trump's reign is ruthlessly rooting out all those deemed insufficiently loyal to the Dear Leader. The first to fall was Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney, who stridently opposed Trump. And, in retaliation for this apostasy, was ousted from her position as chair of the House Republican Conference, censured by the RNC and subsequently defeated in her primary bid for reelection. Pour encourager les autres.

But more Republican heads ended up on pikes, anyway. Including Representatives Adam Kinzinger and Anthony Gonzalez, both of whom voted to impeach Trump. Also facing expulsion were heretical GOP senators Jeff Flake, Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, who chose to escape the fury of the MAGA mob by voluntarily not seeking reelection.

Still others hounded out of the Party included Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan, who refused to support Trump’s claims of election fraud, and North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, who voted to convict Trump in the second impeachment trial. In Wisconsin, Republicans are trying to remove Assembly leader Robin Vos, whose alleged offense is that he didn’t fight hard enough to overturn President Biden’s 2020 election victory in the state.

As for Nikki Haley, who had the temerity to run against him, Trump recently decreed that anyone who contributed to her campaign "from this moment forth, will be permanently barred from the MAGA camp.” No wonder Maryland governor Larry Hogan calls his party "a circular firing squad" hellbent on excommunicating any member who dares utter a modicum of criticism against the MAGA Jesus.

It's worth noting as well that, aside from the irrelevant Sarah Palin, no one who appeared on a national Republican ticket in this century — not Pence, Ryan, Romney or Bush — will be supporting Donald Trump in November. That's because, along with Reagan, Eisenhower and Lincoln, they've all been summarily purged from the Trumpublican Party.

Vote Blue in November for Reproductive Freedom.Voting for Trumpublicans would mean a Total Abortion Ban!

When someone online who presents as a Leftist tries to convince you either not to vote or to vote in a manner that will put authoritarian fascists like Trump into power, ask yourself why.

Ask yourself, "What is their true, unspoken agenda?" and, "Who are they really working for?"

Whose interests and for what purposes are these alleged Leftists really serving by trying to empower the Right?

There's a damned good chance those interests aren't yours. If you're LGBTQ+, a woman, disabled, or a racial or religious minority, you're merely a pawn to be sacrificed for their (cosplay revolutionary) cause, not yours.

And that goes double when the supposed online revolutionary Leftist is trying to convince you from the relative safety of a nation where he will not be directly affected by or have to experience the reality of living under modern American Trumpublican Christofascism, or otherwise face the consequences of the results of his advocacy.

The Trumpublican Party: Oklahoma GOP votes to condemn Sen. Lankford for role in bipartisan border talks

(CNN) The Oklahoma Republican Party approved a resolution over the weekend condemning and censuring Sen. James Lankford, the state’s senior senator, for his role in the ongoing bipartisan border negotiations in Congress. Oklahoma Republicans accuse Lankford of “playing fast and loose” with Democrats on border policy and that he puts “the safety and security of Americans in great danger,”…
