It doesn’t matter. The United States has ceased to be a Republic. It’s been coming for 22 years, ever since the Supreme Court installed Who Comes Stupid. Like Rome, we go through the motions, but that’s all. We’re done. There’s no going back.

I think it began in earnest when corporations became voters.

More than voters, they became Super Citizens. You see, while you and I can get jail time for breaking laws, corporations only get fines which are typically less than the amount they make committing crimes and exceeding donation limits. Game, Set, Match.

Watch Mish be skeerd of Trump. Especially when the truth is he’s always going to pretend to stand on principals, cry like a little bitch, and vote libertarian. https://townhall.com/columnists/kurtschlichter/2022/08/08/dont-believe-the-media-senate-psychout–well-win-big-n2611341?81

Oh, it’s not just the stupidity of the Orange Idiot and his cult voters causing this. The Extreme Court’s foolish attack on our rights too. Force rapists’ and uncles’ children to be born to a 10 year old?? What kind of people would support such madness, let alone taking away abortion rights at all, with who knows what’s next like birth control and interracial marriage? What kind of neanderthal primates are these pseudo religious lunatics?

The knowledge that this extreme SCOTUS thinks that it is just getting started taking away our rights will have a large impact on the midterms too (see Kansas). White Republicans, especially males, simply don’t get this, and their desire to cram a christofascist patriarchy onto this country will not work. The revolts will be legion, starting with new voters who didn’t bother to show up previously, because they’re now under grave threat. Already you’re seeing doctors refuse to consider starting careers in anti-abortion states, and companies threatening to pull out. This is the activist court that they always bellowed about – it’s just that they were projecting all of that babble that they have now engaged in.

Then people finally realizing that as inflation and supply chain issues cool, it was not Biden’s or the Dem’s doing. The huge pandemic relief efforts started in 2020 after a failure to recognize and respond to Covid even semi-intelligently initially by the seditionist president, and that former president’s public insistence on easy Fed money policy, have been those chickens coming home to roost. Sure some of it was necessary to stave off collapse, but let’s get real about why it occurred and continued.

Dark Brandon and the Dems are absolutely kicking a * *. For example: Pandemic recovery bills while still needed. Rolling out vaccines efficiently for all who wanted them. Infrastructure bill after four years of Repubs failing to even try to address it. A stop to criminalizing asylum seekers. Uncovering the corruption and endless crimes of the prior administration and its minions, hopefully soon to end in long jail terms for the perps. The new IRA bill, finally fighting global warming (125 degrees in Iraq today, soon to cause mass migration, etc., enabling subsidies to alternative energy instead of mostly to fossil fuels), getting evading corporations to pay a minimum tax and not letting rich tax cheats skate from the IRS without a worry, allowing negotiations to lower drug prices, and extension of the ACA so that millions don’t lose health care.

Getting out of Afghanistan. Eliminating the head of Al Queda. Supporting Ukraine and stopping the Russian fascist empire from expanding. Rebuilding a strong NATO. That is all just for starters. The entire list is way too long for this one post.

All that while facing the narrowest of majorities in the Senate and its filibuster, and unrelenting obstruction from Manchin and Sinema until they finally saw the light and went for a narrowed BBB bill. Dark Brandon has crafted this carefully under very difficult obstructionism.

We are finally on the right track. Now the voters need to understand that gas prices are not the be all and end all for elections, even if these prices are coming down. Fighting right wing corruption, lies, greed, authoritarian fascism and sedition is more important than a few quarters of high prices.

This is what average people wanted and need, not divisive bigotry falsely parroted nonstop to distract from real problems, as Fox and the other RW media constantly engage in. Why do so very few and often NO right wingers vote for any of measures that help the average person in this country? Why do Rick Scott, Ron Johnson, Moscow Mitch, and most of the R’s say they want to phase out and end the very popular Social Security and Medicare programs – so they and their wealthy oligarchs can hoard even more cash while average people suffer?

The party formerly known as Republicans has totally lost its way. They have become a cult that bows down to one idiotic grifting seditionist who thinks he can just overturn 250 years of democracy and install himself as dictator. He whined to John Kelly that the generals didn’t bow down to him loyally like they did to Hitler. Then Kelly reminded him that three of those generals tried to kill Hitler! Their politicians, other than a few like Liz Cheney, have no courage to counter the corrupt stench of their seditionist cult leader, and refuse to admit the truth about it.

Millions of people who were lied to about the fairest and best run election in history and still believe that disproven nonsense are still out there. Qanon whackos who fall for the most ridiculous conspiracies trumpeted on their one-way channels of propaganda. Step back and listen to what these fools are saying, and all you can do is shake your head in amazement and amusement.

The Right Wing Extremist party has been totally corrupted and brainwashed by a concerted effort of their oligarchs and think tanks and media empire over the past 50 years. Have you watched? All of these networks constantly seed a hatred of all things liberal or left, including the Democratic people, and the brainwashing seeps deep among those who will watch or listen to nothing else. It’s all they hear. These channels do not tell the truth nor the whole story – and rarely correct their lies except when threatened with lawsuits. It is a grand scheme concocted by the wealthy to divide and conquer the average people with hatred of the “other” – while they’re passing tax breaks for themselves, taking away rights from the little guy, and trying to avoid accountability.

The Defense and Homeland loyalists brought in by the former president in his last months deleted all texts of Jan 6th showing their complicity in the attempted coup. They went on Fox and LIED about who did or said what, because there is no penalty for doing so, and they do it regularly. Under oath when subpoenaed and under threat of criminal charges, they told exact opposite stories about the complicity.

Really, what sane person would vote for any of these right wingers? It is not all about economics (which Dems seem to do better for the average person anyway). This country is under attack by a right wing minority who feels entitled to rule, while they do nothing but try to preserve their privilege through whatever means, legal or illegal, it takes. Is there no honor, dignity, integrity, or truth telling among this crowd any more?

The RW extremists have successfully gerrymandered to an extreme and gotten the illegitimately packed SCOTUS to go along with allowing endless dark money, destroying voting rights, and enabling states to implement all degrees of voter suppression against Dems, and now attack our other rights under the guise of some religious nonsense they want to foist upon us (whatever happened to separation of church and state?).

They will still have a difficult time with the House election, even in a historically difficult midterm year for the party in power and gerrymandered and voter suppressed environment. They are being exposed for their dictatorial ways and lack of any coherent policies to help average people, other than the disgruntled whites whose resentment and grievances they constantly misrepresent and stoke. Dems will win the Senate, and the House will be closer than expected.

Take a look at what you have become, Republicans, while Democrats attempt to address the actual problems of the country. It is quite stunning what a destructive rat hole the right wing has gone down. I hope they reform when they finally see the light, as a democracy like ours needs a loyal opposition.

Nobody wants to be ruled by an apocalyptic death cult, and it will show at the polls.

Nonsense. Trump destroyed Trump. He was dealt a win-win hand, and discarded it for a losing hand. All he had to do was to appoint a bi-partisan committee to deal with Covid and stay out of the way, keeping himself above the issue, and then issue statements showing sensitivity to, and sympathy for, those affected. His popularity would have soared, and he would still be President, regardless of whether Covid turned out to be a dangerous virus, a nothing, or something in between. Instead, he made it a partisan issue, and stuck himself in the middle, then looked like an idiot. Fauci was a bureaucrat, nothing more. He was there to be used, and blamed, but Trump was too eager to be in the middle, and collected all the blame on himself.

Red congress and blue senate seems like a decent outcome. We can look forward to the dozens of Hunter Biden investigations, they seem obsessed with that guy for some reason.

Oh, I don’t know, maybe because all of his illegal (or at the very least extremely shady) “business” dealings involve payola for the “the big guy” too?

I view the Tea party as a polar opposite for MAGA. The Tea party activists I knew were intelligent, and were libertarian and favored smaller government. Every one I know would have supported anyone in the party ahead of Trump.

Whether the GOP or the Dems wield the most control starting in November only determines the speed at which the US declines, but not the general , long-term direction.

That’s a pile of crap. FJB has put us on the completely wrong path. Having what will be at least 8M+ undocumented persons enter the US over the course of Biden’s only term will have very long-lasting, negative consequences for the US. FJB is sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine which is utterly crazy. FJB has blood on his hands for the Afghanistan fiasco. FJB has ruined our energy independence. FJB continues to pass all sorts of inflation causing legislation. FJB has jumped completely on the left-wing, nut job train. The Dems are absolutely screwing the USA. Now, I’m not a Trump fan personally, but at least he took seriously the need to secure the border. I’m not a fan of the tax cuts, but they do sunset after 2025. At that point, just like the original vote, both parties will be to blame. Granted, I’m not a fan of trickle down economics but at least it makes more sense than this Modern Monetary Theory BS train we’ve jumped on of late. Neither party is perfect, but the GOP is definitely a lesser of two evils at least in terms of managing the economy.

In 1855 there was a crazy guy whose black 8 months pregnant lady was found dead in a well in Gettysburg. Thaddeus Stevens assembled every anti democrat haters to establish the republican party. The new party chose Lincoln. Thaddeus Stevens, congressman, Gettysburg, PA. General Early hated him so much, he attacked his steel foundry. Thaddeus asset was damaged, but the south lost the war, because general Early was late !
