Oh gosh the pope involved in politics? How unthinkable.

Crazy how both Republicans and the most vile anti-semites benefit from equating Israel with the Jewish people, isn't it?

Do they *ever* refer to conservatives this way? A 34 year old whose parents wealth hasn't "filtered down" to him yet? Or are they all self made geniuses whose billionaire parents did little but raise them with those good old Conservative Values?

The problem is, billionaires have money, and it is very hard to get elected without lots of it.

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

It's great to see that Democrats are focused on the election, which would actually help stop the GoP, rather than performative bullshit like impeachment and the 25th amendment, which everyone knows Republicans will block.

Some people...

When you realise the invisible hand is just vibes.

Conservatives absolutely believe that hordes of the wokes took over public schools and news orgs and Wikipedia and science and the courts and the military and libraries and government agencies and that only government intervention can save us from this tyranny. No, really, that is what they believe.

It probably smells pretty ripe in that capsule about now, what with four haunted meatsacks stuck in there for days. Other than that, pretty neat.

Yes but also what the fuck is wrong with these people?

You just invented crypto.

Two things: I don't think that quality is inherent to the fascist project, but may be inherent in people who want to be fascist leaders. Second, Trump definitely *did* ignore American (not his) generals in entering the war. I suspect he listened to self preservation in trying to cut his losses.

When Trump is gone and Republicans wash their hands of everything they've done over the last 10 years, the people who were "concerned" will be trotted out as heroes of Democracy. Look at how Brave they were. How Serious. How Patriotic.

To his credit, the arms and training Reagan provided helped enable the Afghan people to fight off not one, but two invasions from imperialist superpowers in the last 40 years.

I think they'll be raised understanding that the rules only apply to the lower classes, just like every other child of the wealthy and privileged.

The implicit assumption is that it requires a mastermind to dismantle democracy. It doesn't, you just have to shout n****** t***** f***** a lot, which Vance is quite good at.

But not nearly the $2 million Iran is getting in Hormuz, and they don't enrich Trump personally yet.

Just wait until someone mentions to Trump that the US can charge whatever it wants for ships to transit the Panama Canal.

Play this video at his trial.

*and* because Republican voters re-elected him. The shame will follow them to their graves.

We can hope that one day they will play this video at his trial.

The man is weak, the movement is not.

Currently yelling at the democrats they told us not to vote for to "Do Something!'

And when he's gone, none of this will be anyone's fault, especially not the people who voted for it, cheered it on when it was happening, and will still support it whenever the next guy does it. Even suggesting otherwise will be "TDS".

Canceling you for this take.

Yeah but your version is hawt, even though I'm not into that particular thing at all, alas.

ur mom is old. Or you know. Not. In which case, condolensies.

William Tiberius Stancil is a poopy head, pass it on.

My worry is that the blame for (*waves*) all of this will be deposited on Trump when he goes, which will be soon. The GOP will wash their hands of him and everything they've supported for the past decade.
