Displaced Ex-Republican

But damn glad we handed $40 billion to Argentina and are building a $300 million golden ballroom while MAGA starves and zip ties children. Most Catholic.

Ok my point is a bigger tent is better. That means sharing that space requires some accommodations and understanding. It does not mean foregoing things like pro choice, SSM, immigrant rights and more. Making a more inclusive Democratic tent is winning politics.

4 percent. Like his approval rating. He is building a $300 million golden ballroom while Americans will suffer and die unable to afford healthcare.

Ok tell that to thousands of Republicans that helped propel Democrats to victories on Tuesday. You can make a tiny tent of ignorance or expand one to bring in and keep more people like me that occasionally voted for good people that happen to be Republicans. I know hard to believe but some exist

But isn't denying SNAP food benefits to needy Americans easier and cheaper? They'll lose weight fast. Especially sick children and elders. This is how MAGA "Christians" think.

Pro choice, sees our climate under assault, supports a Medicare for all option, no wars of aggression, embracing diversity and animal rescue for starters - ok?

Great question. To me look to NYC Mike Bloomberg as an extremely rare example of responsible Republican government in the past half century. Hard to wrap our minds around it. I now vote Democratic but there are unsustainable excesses that do need curtailing.

Actually I never did. I've never voted for a Republican presidential candidate in my 45 years of eligibility only some principled ones in local elections. Reasonable assumption but honestly incorrect. The only Republican I would have voted for to be president is Michael Bloomberg.

You're not getting the point. I thought we bottomed out with Cheney but we haven't.

You're missing my point. What I'm try to say I thought they couldn't get worse than Cheney but they actually have. I in no way support anything about his legacy but he did have a pretty brave daughter that actually cares about the Constitution but I disagree with her on most policy issues

I don't disagree. Cheney was terrible and laid the groundwork for much of the dismantling of our democracy.

They were bad. Agreed, but pretty sane compared to MAFA ethno fascists

...same sex marriage, Obamacare ( so did the late GOP senator McCain) environmental protection etc. I now vote Democrat but know Democrats that voted for excellent Republicans like Mike Bloomberg. So there's a spectrum we should embrace.

1/2 Sorry but entirely incorrect. I thought Dick Cheney was terrible including blatant lies about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. I know it seems hard to believe especially today but there are fiscally conservative but socially moderate or even progressive Republicans that support...

He even shot his friend in the face out hunting. What a guy.

Odd we look back at Dick Cheney, Prince of Darkness, with some mild fondness in comparison to today's laughably inept white supremacy fascist Republicans.

Too much beer over the weekend Brett?

Does anyone watch CBS anymore after they paid millions in bribe to Trump. What corporate scam on "journalism."

Or international war crimes

Make donkey carts great again!

Awww... so much Christian love especially for the least fortunate. Glad they all attended Bible school and follow scripture.

Same. I boycott basically all US men's sports even now at the D1 college level. It's all a big obnoxious corporate money orgy - sportsmanship is dead.

Sounds like a Peace Prize candidate to me.

There goes that peace prize

The Great Depression and the most deadly conflict in human history including the Holocaust followed the crash of the Roaring 20's. History rhymes.

My favorite NYT clip on some time: "Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, lives in “a government representation facility” owned by the Coast Guard."

Sounds as warm and welcome as her puppy shooting emptied soul.

I'm old enough to remember the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Look it up! This shit isn't new.

Oh like his in-laws from India? They speak English but as a second language but are brown and "smell like curry".

Like her wife's family from India. Seems like JD Vance has "poisoned" the white race with mixed ancestry kids not all white.
