Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, July 02, 2026

Congresswoman Lisa McClain (R-MI), who in 2022 lied that Dummkopf Trumpf caught Osama bin Laden, bleated the following nauseating screed:

  • "For the people in our country, who want to turn this country into a communist country? Leave. You're free to leave. The beauty about America is, you can leave! Go to Europe where they're experiencing this heat wave and they don't have any air conditioning. See how well that works for you! I'm proud to be an American. I respect the flag and I respect the people who made the sacrifice to make this country what it is today. Freedom. Free speech, family faith? Why aren't we celebrating the greatest nation on Earth?"
    Why doesn't Lisa McClain want the Jeffrey Epstein files released? Who or what does she want to protect from public scrutiny?

    Asking a MAGAt to define terms like "communism" is a fool's errand. It's a shame, because their ignorance and fondness for "alternative facts" makes serious discussion simply impossible. And that's a shame because it mutes what should be the sort of societal discussions that make for a healthy polity.

    *** Maybe Mitch McConnell Moved to Europe, Israel, or the 'Undiscovered Country' ***

    "Mitch McConnell, the good-for-nothing 84-year-old Kentucky senator whose term expires on 3 January 2027, may expire before that.

    His status and whereabouts have become as big of a state secret as anything in the CIA's vaults. Two weeks ago, on the morning of 14 June, he was found unconscious at his DC home and rushed to the hospital, after an EMS call reporting a cardiac arrest at his address and that he'd been given CPR."

    The GOP person has a good point.

    I never understand why communists don't just prove communism works by setting up a compound somewhere and doing it.

    Why do they need to oppress people?

    A commune, a kibbutz, no money, just free stuff if you are part of the commune. It doesn't need to be self sufficient, just make a product and sell it to the capitalist to fund it. Hell drill for oil! Wreck the environment, just make it work for 4 generations.

    Prove the Israelis were full of ----.

    If you want to make sense here, try reading the posts before wading in.
    Otherwise, just proceed as usual.

    Here I was thinking that the fascists should move to Europe. Specifically Russia, because that's where they will fit in.

    But don't report back until you figure out what "communism" actually means.

    Otherwise you are just a WOB.

    Funny how the best thing she can think of is that there's AC in the US.

    Apparently it hasn't dawned on her that it's because Americans are fat, lazy and stupid and can't handle a little heat or discomfort.

    In any case, anyone bleating "duhhhhh ComMuNiSmZ!!!" is an idiot. These stupid f*&^s didn't leave when Biden was in power, so this hollow nonsense is nothing but bluster from stupid piles of s*&^ who couldn't find an original idea if it kicked them in the nuts.

    Communism, the state owns the means of production. I shall repeat, ThE STATE OWNS EVERYTHING. Who's been trying to have THE STATE own businesses lately, eh?

    "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their work". Also a thing. Not really the definition of a welfare state.

    Too bad simple comparative ideology isn't a required subject.

    And, since this is allegedly still a free copy, I'll continue to post what I want, where I want, when I want.

    10% - 5% isn't "EVERYTHING" 100% is everything ... so no not like that.

    But don't report back until you figure out what "communism" actually means.

    Means you'd be poor and possibly killed because the elites in DC needed food.

    Its like you have no idea why Ukrainians hate Russia, and left....

    Trump and Republicans return to communist attacks against Democrats ahead of the midterm elections
    courthousenews.com

    ... President Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans are reviving a line of attack against Democrats heading into the midterm elections: They're communists.

    In just the past week, Trump has issued dark warnings that members of the Democratic Party's ascendant left are communists who want to "completely destroy the traditional American way of life" and even engage in assassinations. Vice President JD Vance has similarly called out communism as a political shift that is "something we haven't seen in the U.S." House Speaker Mike Johnson has decried "radical candidates" who are "self-described, self-identifying Marxists."

    The GOP's ideological focus conflates democratic socialism, which often centers on securing universal healthcare, higher taxes on the wealthy and stricter corporate regulation, with communism, under which private ownership is largely eliminated. It has been building since Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor last year. ...

    Progressives claim they want to be more like European countries. When they say that, they're telling me that they've never been to Europe without telling me they've never been to Europe.

    To clear up any confusion, European countries are not Marxist. There is no "to each according to need, to each according to ability" mantra in Europe. The poor pay taxes, just like the rich. Rights are afforded by the responsibilities of the populations.

    And that's the BLUF. Europe is about rights couples with responsibilities. US progressives want rights decoupled from responsibility.

    Maybe centuries of war shaped European nations into what they are today. The US has not learned those lessons, or learned from them.

    And to be clear, I've never-not once, seen a US politician proposing any sort of European-style economic model. I doubt I ever will.

    #22 Not because of the Poor...

    Because US Republicans don't Want Government to work for the people. It's not a Tax Fairness issue.

    The real reason European style Benefits programs are never proposed in the US is Because the "Donors" don't want Another set of "Entitlements" jacking up THEIR Tax Rates.

    The "Donors" set policy, not regular American citizens.

    Frankly,The ACA Taxed everyone for Healthcare and it Wasn't the Democrats and poor who got So Upset about the Taxation.

    It was Rich Republicans and they pushed a Narrative to destroy The ACA from the time of It's first proposals in Congress.

    Not One Republican voted FOR the ACA.

    ---- Off with your Fake History and Retarded Opinions.

    You are a Concious Liar. You Lie and Know you are doing it.

    The Last Thing Anyone expects from You is Good Faith.

    Just like most Republicans.
