Today is the four-year anniversary of the Stoneman Douglas high school killings. No doubt the NRA scumbags are celebrating the high body count that they contributed to. Repeal the 2nd Amendment and end the slaughter of American citizens.
Just in case you were wondering, 37 people died from COVID-19 in Northwest Indiana in the last two weeks.
Public health used to revered in this country. We eradicated many diseases by vaccinations. Now Republicans and the right wing have demonized and politicized public health. Now it’s my freedom over you and your family’s safety. It’s amazing how stupid and selfish their supporters have become all in the name of a lying ex-president that wouldn’t even allow them in his golf club.
Did the Republicans restrict the number of commandments? It seems they don’t believe in the same ten I was taught.
Voting laws are being changed in red states without any proof of election fraud. However not one Republican office holder objecting to Biden’s victory has objected to their own victory on the same ballot using the same election system. Some people would call them hypocrites. I’ll call them what the really are. Liars.
A friend told me that the Republican party was being run by Putin. I just kind of laughed. I was then reading some articles where a few Republican representatives were saying that we are backing the wrong country in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They stated that we should be backing Putin. I guess my friend was correct.
I have been reluctant to say it, but I believe more than ever that many of our world leaders are driven by their egos and a need to maintain power, control, and a tough image. The Ukraine/Russia conflict provides a convincing argument. The overall picture is complicated, but the reasons are clear! Ukraine wants sovereignty and the right to interact with alliances of their choice. Russia feels threatened by a country on its border that wants to join the NATO block which has a Western influence. Looking at the conflict from a non-political view, I strongly believe both interests could eventually be resolved through a series of extended negotiations and diplomatic protocol. Let’s keep talking! What is the purpose of embassies and ambassadors? Russia has chosen to amass a huge attack force at Ukraine’s border. The U.S. has threatened devastating sanctions against Russia. I am convinced if more thought was given to the realities of war, many serious conflicts could be avoided… The realities of war alone should be a powerful motivator for sober minds!
Let me get this straight — the Republican Party platform is now to encourage insurrectionsists to shut down the American economy?
I suppose all the documents that were tore into small pieces by the former guy and had to be taped together are fake news too? Focus on the crime not the details please.
They spew false propaganda about freedom as they work to control everything we say or do. This is not my idea of freedom.
He used veterans funds to build a non existing border wall. He’s banned from ever having a charity because he stole funds from a handicapped children’s charity. He is under indictment for tax fraud and misappropriated funds in New York. He’s under indictment for not paying taxes on a golf club in Scotland. He’s been impeached twice and pardoned political criminal allies. Yet he’s your guiding light for the presidency in 2024? You’rE a special kind of stupid.
According to Quickly, the two most common complaints against Donald Trump are that he is the only president that ever played golf and the only president that never served in the military. Any other criticism comes from Mother Goose Land. I have news for these derelicts — these are all fairy tales. Facts would make a liberal choke. Donald was the man. Still enjoy his tax cuts.
If you needed any further proof that Republicans have gone completely off the rails and into the swamp, how about this? GOP candidates for office all across the country are begging for an endorsement by the conspiracy-spewing idiot from Georgia, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Is this pathetic or what?
So the Republican had a huge hissy fit over the Super Bowl half-time show. Did they ever think about just not watching it? The Republicans have so much manufactured anger. I just wonder how much they could accomplish if they chose to channel all of that selective anger towards something good?
Fox “journalists” like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are cheering for the chaos and disorder in Canada and the U.S. resulting from the trucker protest. Do you have any doubts whatsoever of whose side these jokers will be on if war erupts between U.S.-backed Ukraine and Russia? They are already spouting Russian talking points. This is getting close to the level of official treason.
This oil pricing and record inflation is way out of control. Can we get Donald back for the rest of the year, just long enough to get things back under control?
