Meanwhile, you have zero comments on any GOPer caught in voting shenanigans.

 

Is that because you are bald faced hypocrite, or just an idiot?

 

 

Yep, GOP supporting the troops is limited to defense spending (not on the troops), yellow ribbons for SUVs and their flapping mouths.

 

Trump lets you know about how most of the GOP feels about the military. A bunch of suckers.

And Paul Ryan didn't have the guts to say ish either for 4 years while President Know Nothing was stomping around the White House like a man child.

Right? Except Ryan retired from Congress quietly in 2018, instead of challenging the elephant in the room. He simply walked away like many Republicans during Trump's administration.

I'm sure they will meet to discuss how to steal the election in 2024. 

A group of members of the House Freedom Caucus will meet with former President Trump at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club next week.

Gotta feel bad for an elected official who is not allowed to lie to the FBI. Poor SOBs.

When I look at your avatar the term "gloryhole" always comes to mind. 

Just an observation. 🤣

The Republicans are feeling cocky right now because Biden's approval rating is abysmal
and ppl are sick of the Demz' woke agenda... but if they continue to refuse to budge on
sensible gun control measures (like raising the age from 18 to 21) they may regret it in November.

But the Demz don't know how to compromise either. Re the 18-to-21 change, they should dispel
the argument that 18 is the eligible age for military service by exempting anyone serving in the
military from the new age restriction.

And Biden needs to be muzzled. His muddled rantings on gun control scare gun owners who can't trust
how far he'll go, and he shouldn't be responding to any incendiary foreign or military questions.
You can bet Zhi doesn't hold press conferences letting aggressive reporters pick him apart.

I think we'd be better off if we just dumped our government completely and started over.
Both sides suck. And no, one side does NOT suck less than the other.

What's this world coming to when Republicans can't even commit a little perjury here and there. Sheesh.

You would be a drunk enough moron to try to bone a stone statue's mouth. One with teeth.

Oh. OH! I assumed you were on the outside of the glory hole. Familiar, huh?

So it turns out that Republicans can't even lie to Congress or the FBI. What is the world coming to?

Im sure you are a big fan of them. Probably the only way you can get your D wet and you are usually not sober enough to know or care what's back there.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reaches disgraceful new low in bullying Special Olympics

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/mike-freeman/2022/06/04/florida-gov-ron-desantis-bullies-special-olympics/7498878001/?gnt-cfr=1

 

Who knows why the Special Olympics would like to make sure people are vaccinated - certainly not any valid medical reason.

 

Once again, the Florida governor proves that is in incapable of allowing any dissent from BUSINESS in his state. This is your idea of a good conservative?

Are you all drunk driving scumbags?

Gohmert: ‘If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you’

https://thehill.com/news/house/3511477-gohmert-if-youre-a-republican-you-cant-even-lie-to-congress-or-lie-to-an-fbi-agent-or-theyre-coming-after-you/

Quote

Gohmert, speaking to Newsmax in an interview on Friday, was asked to comment on the Friday indictment of Navarro by a federal grand jury after the former Trump official failed to comply with the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

"It actually puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two-tiered justice system. If you’re a Republican, you can’t even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they’re coming after you. They’re gonna bury you. They’re gonna put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the Constitution there,” Gohmert responded.

:roll:

 

MTG is a such a waste of a human being.

I think this is a good exploration of what happened to the GOP, and what conservatism has morphed into. 

It's Middle America, people with some wealth and means, aggrieved with a ruling class that has made no concessions to them, left out by "cultural elites"...

Quote

"Today’s right-wing culture warriors think in distinctly Marxian terms: a class struggle between a proletarian base of traditionalists and a powerful public-private bureaucracy that is actively hostile to the American way of life.” (I just want to note briefly here the irony of this invocation coming from a right winger after his side has been howling so much about "Cultural Marxism,” but more on that later.)

To bolster his claims, Hochman refers to the work of Don Warren’s 1976 book The Radical Center: Middle Americans and the Politics of Alienation:
The right’s new culture war represents the worldview of people the sociologist Donald Warren called "Middle American radicals,” or M.A.Rs. This demographic, which makes up the heart of Mr. Trump’s electoral base, is composed primarily of non-college-educated middle- and lower-middle-class white people, and it is characterized by a populist hostility to elite pieties that often converges with the old social conservatism. But M.A.Rs do not share the same religious moral commitments as their devoutly Christian counterparts, both in their political views and in their lifestyles….
These voters are more nationalistic and less amenable to multiculturalism than their religious peers, and they profess a skepticism of the cosmopolitan open-society arguments for free trade and mass immigration that have been made by neoliberals and neoconservatives alike. "M.A.Rs feel they are members of an exploited class — excluded from real political representation, harmed by conventional tax and trade policies, victimized by crime and social deviance and denigrated by popular culture and elite institutions,” Matthew Rose wrote in "First Things.” They "unapologetically place citizens over foreigners, majorities over minorities, the native-born over recent immigrants, the normal over the transgressive and fidelity to a homeland over cosmopolitan ideals.”

 

As I wrote recently, and I don’t think Hochhman would even dispute, the Republican coalition is just the alliance of the most reactionary sections of the whole property owning class, the bourgeoisie from petit to haute. 

 

So now let’s recapitulate the totality of the political situation, with the help of Mr. Hochman’s fine essay. He wants to say this new right is essentially a secular party of the aggrieved mittelstand that feels the national substance has been undermined by a group of cosmopolitan elites who have infiltrated all the institutions of power; that believes immigrants threaten to replace the traditional ethnic make up of the country; that borrows conceptions and tactics from the socialist tradition but retools them for counter-revolutionary ends; that is animated by myths of national decline and renewal; that instrumentalizes racial anxieties; that brings together dissatisfied and alienated members of the intelligentsia with the conservative families of the old bourgeoisie and futurist magnates of industry; that looks to a providential figure like Trump for leadership; that has street fighting and militia cadre; and that has even attempted an illegal putsch to give their leader absolute power. If only there was historical precedent and even a neat little word for all that.

That sounds like a whole lot of fascism to me.
