Something else that triggers MAGA snowflakes - tap dancing. Or to translate Fox ravings into standard English, "Black people are scary and unAmerican."
GOP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russian Federation.
See Russian media praise Republicans for helping them defeat #Ukraine
No, Republicans, causing US soldiers to die in Finland and Poland is NOT a good way to "own the libs".

Jennifer Rubin on commentary based on polling. Without polling "the mainstream media would have to focus (not just for a single story but extended over weeks) on the consequences of electing a candidate echoing Adolf Hitler and vowing to use the military and Justice Department against his enemies. They would have to look not at polling about the economy but the actual economic record of the administration"
"Let’s stop the wishful thinking and face the stark reality: There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day.... people believed they could go on pursuing their personal interests and ambitions as usual in the confidence that somewhere down the line, someone or something else, or simply fate, would stop him. Why should they be the ones to sacrifice their careers?"
To the list of those who helped save American democracy in 2020 add Lt. Michael J. Pence, USMC. He took an oath to defend America and reminded his father of the duty his own oath placed upon him.

Doesn't the 5th circuit have even a single member who successfully completed law school? 😉
I just saw an article comparing Trump's trial tactics to the Chicago 7, try to goad the judge into errors reversible on appeal. Remember how Bobby Seale was bound and gagged because of his outbursts? Well, what's good enough for the Black Panther ought to be good enough for the Orange Pussy.😉 #politics #crime

#politics By supporting Johnson's plan Dems would accomplish two things. Keep the government running a little bit longer. And rid themselves of Johnson, who would be booted from leadership the moment he accepted Dem help on anything.

"evangelical Republicans. They are inflexible about policy positions even when the Bible is silent or vague. They are flexible about morality even when the Bible is clear. One Christian man tells the truth, and it kills his career. Another Christian man helps lead one of the most comprehensively dishonest and dangerous political and legal efforts in American history, and he gets the speaker’s gavel."

"people fear losing their identity and losing their tribe more than they come to fear death."

#halloween #politics reminder. Vampires cannot enter your house unless invited in by a red hat or racist remark. Should you be confronted by the undead unelected, brandish a copy of the Constitution and they will flee or burst into flames.

Republican House says aid for Israel only if Ukraine is abandoned, billionaires are allowed to cheat on their taxes, and the deficit is increased (by those tax cheats)

Seems a good time to revisit a Randy Rainbow show tune, Speaker of the House

Might Trump for the first time in his life be treated the same way any other person is treated, without preference for being rich, powerful, white, a politician?

#politics All it would take to restore a functioning government is to find 5 House Republicans who put country above party, or who put the Republican party above Trump and Putin. Are there 5? It remains to be seen.
I'm not gonna reply on that thread and mess it up. But @th3j35t3r posted a wonderful Elton John cover, which reminded me of Billy Joel, which reminded me of this delicious #politics parody.
