Masked group marches through Ohio neighborhood with swastika flags
  • These ding-a-lings have been supporting Israel (cynically) for a long time. First of all, they hate Muslims even more as a general rule, and for their silly fantasy that involves Yeshua flying back on a cloud, they think the Jews need to occupy Israel. This is why we have xtian zionists.

  • Except for the fact that he was a harsh critic of Trump. Was. But the message was loud and clear. “This is a man who once compared me to Hitler. He is now my lap dog.

    How many qons has he turned into little lap dogs? Lindsey and Marco come to mind.

    I'm pretty sure a lot of Republican politicians absolutely fucking hate donvict with the intensity of a billion suns. But they have to work with this dumbass because his base are so very stupid.

  • Trump team weighs Pentagon pick after sexual assault allegation surfaces
  • It's almost like donvict and his thugs do the very opposite of vetting candidates.

    If it's just about "owning the libs" and picking people he sees on the TV....job well done? I guess?

    Anyone else feeling "owned"?

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • Yeah, like hearing corporate oligarchs bragging on earnings calls about being able to get away with price-gouging the American people because "Bidenflation"? Didn't require any mental gymnastics, actually.

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • Yep. This is truly going to be the finding out stage for them, except, unfortunately, all of us are going to pay the price for their stupidity.

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • I have indeed read his books. I doubt he would have welcomed the idea of putting donvict in office because something something "Genocide Joe".

  • There will be no peace in the Middle East under Trump, either
  • Theory? Many of them will tell you their thoughts on why Israel has to be occupied by Jews. White evangelicals are all in for donvict like almost no other demo. A great deal of evangelicals believe that the character of Yeshua from their book club is going to come back in their lifetime.

  • Grooming Hippies to be Fascists: Libertystock and the Crunchie to Far Right Pipeline in Vermont
  • The sad thing is that the qons have completely perverted some rather common terms, including "liberty". Other terms include: patriotic, freedom, elitist, activism, etc...

    When you hear people using these terms these days, you definitely have to dig in a bit more to understand what they are talking about. There was a fairly good piece on the notion of Northern liberty as opposed to Southern liberty that highlighted this pretty well, even if it didn't talk about the overall attack on language and terms from the extreme right wing.

  • Pelosi files 2026 statement of candidacy with midterm elections on horizon
  • So tired of this one. One of the most populist things the Democrats could do, as a group, would be to run on ending the legal insider trading that all these fuckers do. Doing something like that would probably give them the House and the Senate if they actually ran on that, broadcast that, and then did something about it. That might be easier to do - if they could stop self-dealing.

    Nancy is the face of this but it's not like it's only her or confined to Democrats.

    Uncertainty in Springfield, the Ohio town put on the map by Trump’s false claims about immigrants
  • I think donvict should be asked every time he's in public about how those dogs were eaten. Also, I think people should ask him about the evidence that was found on Obama and his birth...

    The other wild claims escape me right now....I wish someone would fund this. Instead of getting "bababooey" on the air, there should be a group of people striving to get these questions to donvict on the air as much as possible.

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports
  • Most likely what happened was inflation and a whole lotta price gouging, and people think Biden was to blame. The same people seem to think that donvict has a magic wand.
