"In June 2022, after the repeal of Roe v. Wade (1973), Andy Ogles growled: "The next thing we have to do is go after gay marriage."

"In February 2024, during an argument with a peace Samaritan questioning him about Palestinian child casualties during Israel's Gaza genocide, Ogles brayed:

"So, I think we should kill 'em all if that makes you feel better" everybody in Hamas. Hamas and the Palestinians have been attacking Israel for 20 years. It's time to pay the piper... Death to Hamas!"

"In June 2025, two days after the NYC mayoral primary, this revolting AIPAC recipient wrote a letter to USAG Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be denaturalized and deported from the US."

"In Aug 2024, Andy Ogles revealed that FBI agents had seized his cellphone amid a probe into "mistakes" he claims to have made in reporting his campaign finances " including a $320,000 loan of his own money."

I attended church on Easter.

Of interest was that the American flag, which had been there forever, was GONE.

The significance of this was obvious.

I'm not at all sure that my part of Texas is MAGA anymore.

But they're still very dangerous and want to kill you, right?

Call them something else but you're still in grave danger like always, right?

America doesn't have a King, any King.

This is what happens when ignorant self-serving rwingers get power... they try to make America a Kingdom, and Trump the real King.

Zed, at the local No Kings Rally there were several USA flags being carried. Three were upside down, all carried by Veterans, 2 from Vietnam, one from the GWOT.

I've got it all pretty much whittled down to you, EB.

You act as if they suddenly woke up and realize they'd been had, were being lied to and decided they were done with it.

When in reality, MAGA is fracturing because the con that was MAGA is being added to the mural of faux victim complexes they suffer from, each one making them even more bitter, angry and willing to use violence to get their way. Because, of course, they never see or admit that THEY are the very problem they can't solve.

What I'm hearing it seems "America first" is fracturing from MAGA, largely due to the Epstein file nonsense and the Iran war. The mouthpieces I'm hearing this from are largely GWoT vets, which is concerning, although I do admit this might be a simple case of selection bias.

I'll take that over the fake a** chreestians like boaz and lfthndcuck and all the other evangelical s*&^bags who vote for Trump.

I don't think Boaz ever says he's Christian, though. He seems too proudly African to submit to someone with lighter skin.

"Ogles."

What an opportune name for a Republican.

If only they could limit it to their eyes, and not have to put hands and mouths and pudenda on thirteen year old girls.

And boys! Don't forget the boys, or Dennis Hastert.

He's our congressman now.

Republicans gerrymandered what had been one Democrat district in Nashville like a pie, including ruby red hick counties to create 5 U.S. House districts in Nashville.

He's the idiotic MAGA MORON who sent out Christmas cards with a pic of his family, including young children, holding AR-15s.

Hi American Unity:
