People keep saying this about Repubs, as if they hadn't been trying to implement some form of fascism for DECADES. This is exactly what they want. Trump is their emperor, and they're not going to reveal to anyone that he's naked (even though many of us can see it clearly).

That's a nice way to put it. I probably would have said the same, but with more colorful language.πŸ˜€

I'm not sure who is worse, Goebbels Miller or Psychopath Vought.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats
Blowing through the letters that we wrote
Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves
We’re idiots, babe
It’s a wonder we can even feed ourselves

She wants to move up in the world from receding gum fascist to a cosplaying fascist.

They're not "agents" they're thugs. This is bullshit! They're not trained, they're just flailing.

Reporters who keep expecting the Braindead Failed Football Coach Senator to answer questions as if he weren't living in Trump's ass, deserve what they get, complete nonsense.

Oh, good, the wandering psychopath has the nuke codes and he hates California (and most everything and everyone, really).

Isn't he married to someone who is bilingual? I guess living IN one's house is different than living next door.
I'd love to live next to someone who spoke a different language, maybe I could learn something.

Calling out liberals has never really worked for MAGA because we all heard the same bullshit in the 5th grade, and our reaction to Owens is, "grow the fuck up."

So, they have to call out other MAGA whose mentality is still 5th grade playground (or 3rd grade if you happen to be Trump).

Shock Video Shows ICE Agent Assaulting Woman Who Asked If He’s A Good Christian Hundreds protested Tuesday at an ICE facility in southwest Colorado after agents detained two children on their way to school.

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

You'll be sleeping soundly for quite a while.

This whole piece appears to be something conjured out of a large dose of anti-psychotic meds.

Maybe we need to stop referring to them as "agents" and call them by their proper name, "thugs."

I think it should be bulldozed on day one, and on the same day bulldoze DHS out of existence. Eliminate 2 fascist symbols at once to start the recovery of our democracy.

National Sadist Miller has pumped T's racist empty head with even more hate. Now the demented orange thing says whatever they literally programmed him to say.

US Senate passes bill with Republican support to rescind Trump’s tariffs on Brazil Republicans break ranks as vote passes 52-48 in rare bipartisan rebuke of US president’s trade policies

I had to check and recheck to find out if this was real. It appears to be true.

Holy crap, Miller and Vought created a Golem and it's running wild, talking nonsense, trying hard to act like a real human.

I'm going to keep repeating:

It's time for Dems in the House to forget the rules, bypass Baby Moses, and open up the House for the work they're getting paid to do. Have Nancy Pelosi swear in the new member, Adelita Grijalva. The voters will cheer you on. Johnson can get his head out of Trump's ass.

The order is important because when they did the MRI, the results showed there was nothing there at all, just an empty shell, they had to administer the dementia test to see if he was actually still alive.

Or maybe they didn't do an MRI, they just replaced his Soviet era batteries.

It's always the negative way with the GOP. They never come up with their own plan, they just hate on anything the Dems come up with. They tried to shut down public broadcasting almost immediately, they hate any kind of social support, and have tried to implement fascism for decades.

I ditched the NYT during his first reign of incompetence, after being a subscriber for decades. WAPO went next, immediately after Bezos acquired it. Hard to believe people are still reading these and taking them seriously.
