"I think of Swift as speaking to George W. Bush and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, and to Condoleezza Rice and John Kelly and Jim Mattis. They are all patriots and public servants whose careers have been marked by doing their duty. If Taylor Swift can step up and speak out, surely they can too."
A recent Bulwark speculated that they may be hesitant for fear of their own safety. That's understandable if not excusable. After the chants of "Hang Mike Pence" it is painfully clear that a small minority of MAGAs are evil enough to inflict physical harm to anyone who goes against the cult. The irony is that the ones most at risk of being victims of that out-of-control at rage are the conservatives and Republicans the cult desperately needs, not liberals like Taylor Swift, who were written off long ago. But many citizens have faced far greater risks, and made the ultimate sacrifice, to protect their Republic from evil dictators. Now we have one - with an army of protectors, and no more "guardrails" - ready to attack from within. Come on, fellow patriots, you know what you have to do. How about an "October Surprise?"
Trump refereeing the right wing whack jobs surrounding him?? Why not, his campaign is just humming along. All is well in maggotville. As long as they’re plugging the MAGA dyke they’re not trying to destroy America. In reality, enough is enough. VOTE people VOTE!! Let’s get on with getting Trump where he belongs, behind bars.
Pussy grabbing would seem to be a penchant of the exalted Ruler, but who knows what those Haitians might be up to. Maybe their emulative misunderstandings of rightward English has misled them.
I'm watching MSNBC right now. And I cannot understand what the hell is going on with Rs. There's a 9-11 denier, a complete loon named Laura who is now the Orange Snake's shadow, shadow wife?, who's at his side nonstop on his plane, at the rallies, etc. If I were Melania, I'd be hitting the divorce court as she seems to think she's gonna be the First Lady. She's spreading stories about Haitians killing people now . . . I literally cannot believe that any R with any sanity at all can support him. Oh, Tim is on right now!
No, Miss Eva--Melania is going nowhere. Between us girls, I suspect Ms Knauss (her maiden name) has a pre-nuptial agreement that is structured in such a way that the longer she stays with him, the more she gets in a possible future settlement. Additionally, I have a suspicion that the agreement has be altered since 2016 in which Ms Knauss gets compensated in some manner if she has to appear in public with her current husband. Since her current husband is having some...financial issues...at the moment, I suspect it is part of the reason why the voting public sees *very* little of her (if anything at all) at events connected to his current political activity. I've called her a charmless gold-digger in the past, but she's certainly not a *dumb* charmless gold-digger.
I don't think she's dumb either. That said, given the number of lawsuits, financial penalties against the Snake, if he loses, I think she'll lose as well. Would not surprise me a bit if she hands him the papers the day after he loses. Take the money while he has any left to give.
Laura Loomer has been a big presence in MAGA-land for quite a while. She's a nasty piece of work, but she loves Trump so he thinks she's terrific and "courageous." You'd think the high-level Trump apologists would find it a little disturbing, but it seems they don't.
I fear it might not be long before one person and then another and then another come forward saying they saw pets being captured and eaten "with their own eyes". It happened in Salem (the coming forward, not the pet eating!) and at this point, I'm not convinced it can't happen again.
I’ve already seen that. Look at this youtuber “reporting” about the issue. Minute 2:55. He’s seen “a van full of cats kidnapped and eaten”. And the video has millions of views.
When she wrote her odious comment about Kamala Harris, did she not remember that JD Vance's wife is Indian & his 3 children are half Indian? And, after learning of Loomer's comment, where was JD's strong defense of his wife & her immigrant mother & father?
It will never appear. If she is smart, she will have already visited a divorce lawyer, but who knows what makes a couple tick. I just feel sorry for their children that they have a shit-for-brains-cretin of a dad!
How about this good information to counter the anti-immigrant rumors? Fabulous Haitian food at markets and restaurants in Springfield, OH. Ohioans love international food!!! https://www.facebook.com/columbusfoodadventures
So, let's see, over here we have Trump, Vance, Loomer, Greene, Ramaswamy, Musk, Lake . . . and I'm wondering why anyone would want to put this band of idiots in charge of the country . . .
A sure fire formula for turning the US into a third world country, as if everything my political bookclub is reading in Project 2025. We are currently reading The Department of Agriculture. While it is hard to slog through these chapters sometimes, we are learning a lot about the government, and every Trump grievance against, Biden, Obama and Roosevelt is woven in. Dads get a bad deal in the Chapt on the Dept of Health and Human Services, as does everyone else. Dads who are divorced or not married to their children's mom will get an app on their phone and will have to make their payments through that. Can easily lose legal rights to their children if they don't pay and don't play with their kids. Also, have to take parenting classes. I assume a Christian Nationalist agenda will be pushed. However, in every chapter getting rid of immigrants and forcing Americans to do jobs that immigrants have done that no one here wants to do is part of the plan. How is that freedom? As for the big deportation plans. If we list all the groups Trump wants to deport or put in prison that sounds like more than half of the US population altogether. How is that making our country strong? 50 mil immigrants, which will probably include my mom and husband who both came from Germany. Even though my husband is a world expert in his field, who cares because even though they talk about attracting high quality immigrants (which they do not define what that is, I guess Viktor Orban and the Norwegians), they want to get rid of so many they have to start taking all of them. Then, everyone who antagonized or voted against Trump goes to prison too, and that will be a goodly portion of the adult population too. So, who will be left. The above list of cretins.
A friend who left the US after Trump got elected told me in her state people she worked with had told her about January 6, that there was going to be some action, and she was worried she would be shot. She went to the EU.
I see this spat as a Looming disaster for the Mar-a-loco set. I do know Greene has her CrossFit certification. So Laura should probably just stand down.
Yeesh, Loomer really is an odious shill of a woman. I'm not saying that all MAGAs are racist, but... like a LOT of them are SUPER racist, yeah? Can we agree on that? I understand that politics is a big tent, but you have to choose to keep the super-racists in your tent. They could push them out of the tent if they wanted to. It's a metaphorical tent. 😮💨
Ha! She is at the very least, culturally upstream of Facebook boomers. If you went searching for the source of the misinformation Nile, pretty sure you'd find her handcuffed to a door, furiously sh%tposting.
trump insists he happily got rid of Roe to allow the matter to be resolved in the states. Okay, so tell your MAGA crowd to worry about their own states and towns. We don't need the "Nate Higgers" and his ilk travelling about sharing hate. We've got plenty in the clown car already: Loomer, Kirk, Rufo, Fuentes and Carlson, the pied piper of ignorance. How can anyone of these be considered to qualify as spokespersons for conservatives, when they are far-right extremist. Next time I'm looking for a good book, I'll start with anything on the Moms to End Literacy list of banned books.
Like goes to like. You are known by the company you keep.

Minor correction, PS--I think you meant "Dike".
YES!👍
Although, the idea of a "MAGA dyke" is pretty hilarious. Get her on FOX!

I haven't been scared before - I am now. These people are NOT SANE. What is it going to take to wake up the R party?????
A friend who left the US after Trump got elected told me in her state people she worked with had told her about January 6, that there was going to be some action, and she was worried she would be shot. She went to the EU.
Green vs. Loomer. I always love a cat fight. Maybe the winner will skin and eat the looser, like an immigrant in a Petco.
bad taste?
Or like the late great Hannibal Lecter? He’s getting recognition.
I see this spat as a Looming disaster for the Mar-a-loco set. I do know Greene has her CrossFit certification. So Laura should probably just stand down.

Maybe the most dangerous threat to democracy isn't Donald Trump. Maybe it's a boomer with a Facebook page.
Is Loomer a Boomer? (Sorry, couldn't resist!)
Ha! She is at the very least, culturally upstream of Facebook boomers. If you went searching for the source of the misinformation Nile, pretty sure you'd find her handcuffed to a door, furiously sh%tposting.
We should take Kamala's advice and start going to Trumpo rallies! En masse, with Harris/Walz gear.
I’m getting the 🍿ready for when Loomer chains herself to Mar-a-Lago.
Has he buried any exes in that yard yet? (Stuff only rich and poor people do…)
