Shhhhhhhhh! Don't tell DeSantis the MAGA base don't care about Trump's policies. Remember Trump was voted in in 2016 with no GOP policy slate other than making defence harder for Ukraine. He got elected President in 2016 because people thought he was partly a liberal New Yorker, albeit a racist one. He got elected because of his entertaining speeches and his "charisma" that goes through the TV screen. MAGAS feel they have a personal relationship to him. If Trump is gone, so is the MAGAs real reason for voting GOP.
By censoring Adam Schiff, the right wing nuts are making an example
people who stand up for democracy. It used to be that the corrupt were made example of by Democracy. Here's hope that we go back to only the corrupt being made example of by Democracy some day soon. I see Lake is being sued by someone she scapegoated for her election "win" loss. That is important.
It is like scissor- paper - rock
Only it is Democracy - Science - Corruption
Corruption can destroy Democracy by loosening the human construct bonds that Democracy depends on. Democracy lays the foundation for good arts & sciences and funds it. Science hurts corruption by exposing it (law enforcement techniques, accounting, journalism, psychology, history, intelligence, academia, NGOs). No wonder the GOP are anti-vaxxers and picked that up as a conspiracy theory when Putin pushed it.. The corrupt are terrified of science and the verifiable truth. They needed a really strong anti science conspiracy theory.
After taking favours from oligarchs in the US, the Supreme Court could have
been blackmailed. Just have a certain person's name come up in a case could put pressure on a Justice if they had done something wrong regarding that person. Something they would not want to get out. Thank you Pro Publica and all the others who have shed light on favours given to the justices. Not that their political leanings don't have them favoring oligarchs anyways. But you never know.
Good catch. (Do the GOP want strict gun controll too)
I hope someone makes a gift or jpeg of the whole thing.
So re: Hunter Biden - Do Republicans now want jail time for all tax avoidance?
ROTFLMAO (CNN) I guess the GOP are going to give back the IRS investigation money they took from the IRS during the debt ceiling deal?
I think there are 400 fires, many in Quebec. Just too many for our sattelites
to manage. Maybe you want the US to identify the fires and free up Canadian personnel to manage and plan the firefight of the known fires. Friends in need are friends in deed.
Remember when George W. Bush thought Americans would blame victims of Katrina for not
evacuating and he and his staff went around minding their own business as people drowned? Condi Rice was shoe shopping in NY when she was yelled at in a store for not helping out Americans in dire need in NOLA? They thought Americans would not care. Americans cared and the administration of George W. Bush scrambled on day 3 to start really rescuing people. Al Gore chartered planes. Sean Pence went out in a boat to rescue people. The WH blamed the white house staff of kids for not sounding the alarm. People got rescued. Thousands died. Well they paid for that.
This not feeding kids lunch is a slow walk of that anti-empathy gambit. One that will not make it onto the tv. They think people will not care when kids from struggling families will go hungry at school.
The right wing wants mayhem. Then people look for a strongman.
That is how strongman get into power in places that were once benevolently governed. Financial and other strife stops people from thinking with reason and starts them thinking only with passions. Then Trump came along and bingo he layer out their passions for them.
Of course that is what Abbott is up to by sending migrants north.
Putin did the same thing by backing up Assad in Syria, lengthening the strife in the area and then creating a migrant crisis in Europe. Grew the right wing in European countries. Abbott must be very disappointed undocumented migrant numbers are not up.
It is not my kindness that makes me post. It is that every week on the DU
somebody posts that MAGAs should never be talked to for any reason. And that is the OP. I have my suspicions that they are right wing trolls worried that MAGA support is based not on most GOP policies but shallow personal relationship MAGAs have with Trump through the TV.
Here is what they are afraid of:
