It appears to be extremely difficult to be a Republican these days.... if one still wants to have any morals, values, or brains.

They are just treading water now, knowing that eventually they will drown in irrelevancy.

But hey, if the bible story is true, and if the man who fits ALL of it's many descriptions of the Worst Person Ever eventually gets that Nobel and also brings great prosperity:

For a 3.5 years. Then halfway through the 7 year ME treaty, he will attack Israel (prolly for not giving him the Building Permits he wants in Gaza, lol!)... and then he will step into the Temple, unleashing the Apocalypse and the combining of the dimensions of Heaven and Earth as One.

Or not. He could just be a truly evil ---- who has fooled some very easily fooled people, and who will die none too soon for most people. There will be yuge lines to piss on his grave.

I thought I knew most every John Prine song, but I don't think I ever heard that one before.

Padlock the door and board the windows
Put the people in the street
"It's just my job, " he says "I'm sorry."
And draws a check, goes home to eat

But at night he tells his woman
"I know I hide behind the laws."
She says, "You're only taking orders."
That's how every empire falls

A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see

What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls

partial lyrics - John Prine - That's How Every Empire Falls

Whatever werks, I says.

I mean, the Founders said over and over again that for democracy to work in a Republic, the Primary Importance belongs on the People being well and truly Informed... never did they think this combo of collective citizens and individual rights would ever werk.

Corporate Personhood and CU killed all that, and the People are fed propaganda rather than reality.

One of my favorite quotes ever by anyone. Thanks for posting it.

That's actually Rudy and Donald on an also actual Date Night.

SO, yeah.... imagine if you will, FF as as the senior RuPaul. (if you dare!)

apropos of nothing, this person was the model for a character, Jimmy Vulsa i think it was... in the Christopher Moore book, "Noir".

"Cogent thought" coming from Visitor is like Trump talking about honesty and truth... things he knows nothing about, has never met, and isn't likely to.

We had about as many people as there are for most protests... Fartfisher was there dressed as Trump Ho', so his everyday outfit.

"Kristi Noem should resign " before more Americans are killed," said a Friday post from Newsom's press office on the social platform X.

"She needs to be held to account."

"Yet another attack and shooting by President Trump's private police force on American soil. Disgusting," the post stated.

"Remember, if you are going to protest " do so peacefully. Do not play into their games of escalation. They do not care about you, only their agenda."

ICE Academy Shortened Its Training to Just 47 Days Under Trump in Nod to the 47th President, Report

My local Protest is at 10 this AM.

I'm interested to see if Hispanics show up, though I wouldn't advise it.

The largest and ongoing construction project here for the last few years is the World Equestrian Center, with Arenas, Stables, Hotels, Shopping mall, RV Park, and animal medical facilities.

I would guess 80 plus percent of employees are Hispanic, and the place would shut down were ICE to invade.

S'trewth!

MAGA are the Neocon's semiconscious Foot Soldiers who have been Trumped into thinking they aren't doing the Oligarch's bidding.

There are some doors ICE shouldn't knock on.

One supposes that they are going to FAFO.

Visitor may actually enjoy his beatings... considering he still posts here.

"Meanwhile, Greenlanders have repeatedly expressed their refusal to be part of the US, with 85% of the population rejecting the idea, according to a 2025 poll. Polling shows only 7% of Americans support the idea of a US military invasion of the territory."

Well, to be fair, there are millions more Epstein Files to Distract from, so this makes perfect sense.

Especially for the 'no more wars!' Peace President that Trumpers voted for.

Shouting, 'Hypocrisy!' is a Logical Fallacy in Argument.

And yet it's really all you know how to do.

Sad.

Nick Fuentes is the New Mother Tucker in the Trumpublican Party.

"The Amorality of Donald Trump

Now, his statement is simply scary ... and there's no other word I can think of, because so much of Donald Trump's life has pointed to him being a deeply immoral man.

Or, perhaps I should say, a deeply amoral man, which is someone who has no concern about whether their behavior is morally right or wrong as they care only about themselves.

An amoral person is a sociopath " defined by a disregard for others, a lack of empathy, a violation of societal norms, and deceitful, or impulsive behavior."

But, but... Biden!

Yeah, and he did all that without undertraining unqualified prison guards and Proud Boys who execute Moms on the streets.

So much for yet another of your ------- Whataboutisms.
