And? Sounds like you have no problem with Joey showering with his teenage daughter. Disgusting!

How about his big lie yesterday? He was so comforting to the Hawaiians who lost everything. Mao much so he told yet another lie about losing his Corvette in a kitchen fire. Of course than never happened. More lies.
Sounds like you’re cool with incestuous rape and hanging out with fellow pedos. No wonder you live in LA! Disgusting!

No. They’ll just blame democrats and their constituents will believe them.

Getting rid of social security and Medicare has been a pillar of the GOP platform for 50+ years.

50 years? You mean the year Congress passed legislation beginning automatic annual cost of living adjustments which Nixon signed? You mean a decade before Reagan sat down with Tip O'Neill and cobbled together a plan which bought a generation to fix the long term issues with the program?

********!

a quick google found this:
During his 1976 White House run, he declared that Americans—as long as they showed that "provisions" had been made "for their...non-earning years"—should be able to opt out of Social Security. Reagan's opposition to the capstone of the New Deal produced bitter fruit in his first year in office. As the Social Security fiscal outlook darkened, Reagan's Health and Human Services Secretary announced that the administration wanted to reduce Social Security benefits for people who had retired before they turned 65.
Republicans and Democrats alike reacted to the White House plan with a combination of disdain and derision. Reagan's plan was overwhelmingly repudiated. The Senate voted 96 to none against while a large bipartisan majority in the House opposed it as well.
What happened next would have been hard for anybody to predict at that time. The White House agreed to establish a bipartisan commission to look into how to cope with the system's long-term challenges and extend the solvency of the trust fund. Reagan appointed future Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, and O'Neill appointed some of his own members to the Commission.
It offered a compromise that has had lasting effects on Social Security politics and policies. Some of the proposals were less than ideal; one that was ultimately enacted into law raised the regressive payroll tax, which hit working- and middle-class Americans harder than wealthier citizens. Nonetheless, the 1983 agreement did succeed in extending the trust fund's solvency for a couple of generations by raising the retirement age to 67 from 65 (to be phased in by 2027); imposing a six-month delay in the cost-of-living adjustment; and requiring government employees to pay into Social Security for the first time. The compromise also cemented a new reigning political consensus on Social Security—Social Security, in historian Sean Wilentz's words, was "untouchable" because it had become more than ever the "'third rail' of national politics.
Reagan's Social Security Reform Act not only reversed his own ideological opposition to Social Security but also identified the nation's leading conservative as a defender of liberalism's most cherished achievement: "This bill demonstrates for all time our nation's ironclad commitment to Social Security," Reagan announced when he signed the bill. (For his part, Tip O'Neill called Reagan's action "a happy day for America.") But the law has also reverberated across the decades into our own times; in 2005, George W. Bush failed to enact his plan to privatize Social Security despite having Republican majorities in Congress.<

Big time. Stage 3. Like a bunch of people I see post here.

Urban Dictionary offers up this handy definition: “Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:

  1. “In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect’s every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world.”
  2. “The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim’s vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole.”
  3. “As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality.”
This lovely gal has been diagnosed with Stage-4 TDS

Jesse Jackson?

What power does he wield in today's politics?

Literally Dems have have Jewish leadership in the House, Senate, SCOTUS, governorships (Polis off the top of my head could be others) as well as the husband of the VP.

Who are the prominent Jewish Republicans? Norm Coleman? He's about as prominent as Jesse Jackson. Is there even one Jewish Republican in Congress, never mind in a leadership role?

Republicans simply won't accept that most Jewish Americans don't agree with their Israel is infallible BS, never mind the Trump is infallible BS, never mind shoving "Christianity" down everyone's throat, etc

A YouGov online panel "poll" lol--easily manipulated by fake panels and bots.

Let's look at the actual polls

After Trump got schlonged in a landslide 2020 loss, how many of his endorsees have won?

Oz
Herschel
Kari
Blake Masters
Laxalt
Mastriano

Oh right...in the "red wave" it was actually Dems who picked up Senate seats, legislatures and governorships on net.

But I will give Republicans that the "red wave" did earn them big time fresh faces like Kitara Ravache. And more indictments. So there's that.

It's fun to watch paid GOP shills like him squirm.

My favorite is how NJ Republicans claimed the party would never come after abortion. Now it costs them elections in Arizona and Georgia and caused them to be entirely swept from power in Michigan.

It's just SO GREAT!

If he says Republicans would never do it, you'll find an example of Republicans doing it in 2 second google search.

Will Trump Be Indicted in Arizona? Questions Raised After Georgia Charges
>"I can confirm an ongoing investigation into the fake elector situation in Arizona. I am unable to comment beyond that at this time," Mayes' communications director, Richie Taylor said.

The news of an open investigation in Arizona comes after the state was mentioned five times in Monday's indictment from Georgia, which accused the former president and his associates of pressuring then-Arizona Speaker of the House Rusty Bowers to overturn Trump's 2020 loss in the state.

The indictment alleges that Trump called Bowers around Christmas of 2020 "for the purpose of soliciting, requesting, and importuning Bowers to unlawfully appoint presidential electors from Arizona."<
https://www.newsweek.com/will-trump-indicted-arizona-election-interference-1820627

You know what's SO GREAT?

In Arizona, the GOP/Fascists campaigned as a team. You had Scari Lake, Flake Masters, Dishonest Abe Hamadeh, and the crazed SOS candidate whose name I forget.

And they all got schlonged. Dems/patriots won every major statewide office. After King Joe won Arizona in 2020, part of his massive landslide win.

And now Arizona isn't enforcing its abortion ban, is investigating Trump and its voter integrity office now helps people vote. Oh and the border barrier was removed!

Is there anything more beautiful than an aborted red wave allowing more states to join the First World?

What we do have is proof that you worship a rapist

Dismissing the counterclaim, a judge in New York, Lewis A Kaplan, said that when Carroll repeated her allegation that Trump raped her, her words were “substantially true”. Kaplan also set out in detail why it may be said that Trump raped Carroll.


Say it with me

The leader of the Republican Party is an adjudicated rapist.

The leader of the Republican Party was sued by a 14 year old girl for rape.

The leader of the Republican Party appointed the prosecutor who let off Epstein to his cabinet.

The leader of the Republican Party was on Epstein's flight log.

The leader of the Republican Party wished Ghislane well.

Which would make his sycophants not simply boomers, but something that rhymes.

>Donald Trump tried to kiss a little girl at a Wisconsin rally on Monday, but she was clearly not sharing the moment.

During one of his speeches at his campaign stop in Green Bay, the GOP candidate stopped and pointed out a “beautiful little girl” in the crowd.

“By the way, that is the most beautiful little girl,” Trump said. “You wanna come up and see me?”

The girl ended up finding her way on stage and next to Trump, who then picked her up and asked her name.

After having a brief chat, Trump gave her a peck on the cheek, which appeared to be fine enough, but as he was about to put her down, he went in again for another kiss — seemingly on the mouth — but she put her arm up to push him away.

Perhaps she had been reading recent reports in which the Republican presidential candidate has come under fire following his controversial treatment of women. Earlier this month, The Washington Post published a tape of Trump boasting to “Access Hollywood” host Billy Bush about kissing and groping women, saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do anything … I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything,” he said. “Grab ’em by the p-y.”

She wrote "showers with Dad (maybe inappropriate)".

She never said how old she was when it happened - for all we know, she was 2. If you read it in context, it's not an accusation, at all. Nor does she express, anywhere in those 112 pages, anything but deep love and respect for her father.

"Schlonged" is right.

Its curious how AZ voting machines that worked perfect for primaries (and that were declared 100% functioning by Carter Foundation in October 2022) suddenly malfunctioned for half of election day 2022. Good thing for Dems the McCain GOP in AZ was happy about al that.

Imagine the Dem squeals if Koch Bothers got to put a half billion into election for drop boxes where 90% of them ended-up in blue areas (they euphemistically called it "election fortification" ). Elections aren't about persuasion anymore but harvesting of millions of ballots mailed-out and harvested with no chain of custody, no signature verification and denial of bi-partisan observation (and then destruction of ballots and DOJ threatening charges on anyone who audits addresses despite empty lots being used as addresses for "voters")

USPS investigation confirms 1000's of ballots shipped from NY to PA




All the corruption explains how mental bananas(Dems official fruit) like Fetterman get elected. Ds could run a hamster and get it elected.

There's no "validation" whatsoever in that article.

This is a common pattern - some fabricated "news" site posts a "definitive" headline followed by a story entirely bereft of factual detail and the rest of the Fox News crowd just runs with it.

Sorry but you didn't even know people were being fired for not getting vaxxed.
There are lots of details (and even new cache of 34.000 ballots with same sigs found in Michigan) but suddenly after Dems had contested elctions for years (decades) its become "illegal" to investigate results or to even voice doubt. This is why Civl War era laws meant to prevent Confederated fromn running are surrepitiously being used against candidates ("insurrectionists") and their lawyers. Its total banana republic stuff where 1A is a joke and laws get made-up on the fly by agencies

In 2020 Election "centers" (and they consolidated areas to facilitate games) destroyed evidence, refused examinations (like FL in 2000), denied audits etc. It was obvious something was wrong when key areas said they needed to stop counting (never done before) because "it was late" and then started again after new ballot deliveries. Unfortunately GOP leaders liked the steal.

It was not illegal to investigate elections until recently.

Justice Dept. Warns States on Voting Laws and Election Audits

The department said that auditors could face criminal or civil penalties if they flouted elections laws.

The manipulators couldn't help but brag in Time mag how they rigged - erm "fortified "- elections. Of course their manipulations are colored as "protecting democracy."

I knew something was up when it took weeks to count votes in Iowa and NY primaries - they were testing their methods. McCain Feingold "refroms" just allowed more dark money and not less. Lots of forign money coming into elections (Dems already have 2 billion for 24)

I'm quite aware that people were being fired for not getting vaccinated.

It's called "at will employment".

No one has been charged for "investigating" election results. No one has been charged for questioning election results.

The Trump administration went to court 60 times attempting to demonstrate some form of fraud. In each case their accusations were summarily tossed out of court - many of them by Trump-appointed judges.

When they attempted to actually *circumvent* the results of the election after losing all of those huge, beautiful court cases, they broke the law.

I especially love how BIGRUTARD tacks little "laugh" emojis onto posts, as if to mock them, but has never actually written / said anything that could be considered remotely intelligent.

Keep lickin' those windows, champ.

If we're fair, "intelligible" would be a right-size goal.

I've never seen anyone attempt to communicate with such a density of entirely unnecessary, nonsensical slang and nicknames. Simply unreadable, save for the two or three other incels who speak the same demented code. Like trying to find artistic meaning in the feces an infant smeared all over the wall.

Since GOP abandoned candidates and din't provide lawyers etc, audits had to be conducted by volunteers.
They dont have resources for lawyers, bail etc so audits stopped.
Its not illegal to question elctions or to seek examination of evidence.
Nothing was "circumvented" - a law allowed elections to be investigated by states.
There were states that wanted to examine the sketchy results.
Allowing states to do that was the aim - not "invalidating" or overethrowing anything.
The law called "non-existent" was since chnaged by the people who called it non-existent

Plus if questioning elections was illegal why are hive DAs waiting almost three years to go after candidates now instead of years ago? Of course the answer is they have huge poll leads. Obvious lawfare.

With the trucker case I mentioned, he was hauling 288,000 completed and fraudlent ballots from NY to PA. He spoke up and got the usual treatment from the hive. Politifact of course deemed the report "false" and now USPS said it was true.

The 2020 election was unique in that Covid made it likely that many more people would vote without going to the polls. Increased the odds of cheating as older people, who might just stay at home, allowed others to vote for them or to send in ballots. That is clear even to an idiot. The potential to cheat by voting outside of a booth increased, no? If you don't agree, I don't know what to say. This whole factor goes away in 2024 which means Trump would beat Senile Old Clueless Joey. Unless the "progressives" think sending in ballots makes sense this election cycle. Allow non documented to vote after they were let in by open border Biden? Buying votes anyone?
