You should really take 15 minutes out of your life to watch this video about #MomsForLiberty to truly understand how batshit crazy they are. https://youtu.be/fXtUGTt4MM4?si=jhfpoz81kxAEtbRX

Apparently a local GOP group in Alabama posted KKK inagery on their Facebook page recently. When called out they apologized , but let's face it, both the Republican Party and Alabama are stereotyped for their racism and stereotypes exist for a reason. So ... was it unintentional or were they just not expecting the backlash? Image they shared:

The racists who make up MAGA love showing their racism whenever they get a chance, then they'll deny being a racist. It would be funny-sad if it weren't true

[There really does need to be a Blogger widget so posting isn't so cumbersome] Mitch McConnell is either trying to save face or save his ass. Rumor-mill had it that McConnell secretly despised Donald Trump and what Trump did to the Republican Party, but Mitch also recognized a useful tool. He bid his time, acquiesced to Trump's popularity among Republicans and now - when it's nearly over - he steps into the light and speaks truth to Trump and his hoard of supporters.       "They were fed lies." But this isn't just McConnell trying to save face, it's him trying to reign in the rest of the GOP that supported Donald Trump's insanity. It's him trying to recover what remains of the Right and save the Senate and House seats he can.  Mitch McConnell spent the past four years pandering to Donald Trump's inane inadequacies. He covered nfoe the President (less than 24 hours left until he's an ex-president) and shielded Trump from removal ...

I know I harp on #DonaldTrump quite a bit, but the modern #GOP as a whole is working to systematically dismantle what makes the USA the USA and historians will judge them harshly. From Mitch McConnell denying President Obama his Constitutional right to sit a Supreme Court Justice, to the political hacks known as Justice Gorsuch and Justice Kavanagh, the modern Republican party is routinely putting party and agenda over the people of the USA. One can only imagine their caucus meeting being something like this: GOP Senator 1: Let's burn the world. GOP Senator 2: Cool, the fire will be pretty. GOP Senator 3: This sounds awesome, I'll bring the marshmallows. https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2019/03/senate-confirms-dangerous-religious-extremist-allison-rushing-as-federal-judge/ … in 2005 Rushing penned an article for Engage, The Federalist Society’s journal, entitled “Nothing to Stand On: ‘Offended Observers’ and the Ten Commandmen...

If #DonaldTrump had his way this would indeed be coming to a USA near you, and the #GOP would gladly go down that hole with him. Luckily the Democrats have a say. In #TrumpNation if the president does it it must be presidential.

#DonaldTrump and the #GOP don't seem to be worried about their legacy - of how history will judge our times. Historians, on the other hand, we're asked to show us how future generations would judge 2018 and it's not good: The year 2018 marked the moment when America’s abdication of its role of leadership in the world, begun in 2017, grew more pronounced and irreversible. Trump called into question or flatly rejected America’s commitments to its allies, to free trade, to the rule of law, to democratic norms and to a global effort to avert the most dire consequences of climate change. He made America, in the eyes of much of the rest of the world, a rogue state. The president of the United States had long been the most consequential person in the world; that distinction shifted to the president of China in 2018. The world has never been the same. #TrumpNation is the culmination of 40 years of GOP propaganda and the beginning of the end of that shining beacon of light in the d...

#DonaldTrump's unprecedented re-election campaign (remember, he infamously filed for 2020 before he was even sworn in in 2017) is literally gobbling up the Republican Party, preventing any other would-be #GOP Presidential candidates from racing against him. And the Republicans election network is on board with this. Under the plan, which has been in the works for several weeks, the Trump reelection campaign and the RNC will merge their field and fundraising programs into a joint outfit dubbed Trump Victory. The two teams will also share office space rather than operate out of separate buildings, as has been custom. The GOP is truly #TrumpNation now. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/18/trump-machine-swallows-rnc-1067875

Pretty soon, the only people left in the #GOP will be #TrumoNation, reflecting the trend the Republican Party has had for anti-democratic values, pro-fascism and unbridled racism. “I’ve been thinking about it for some time,” Tani Cantil-Sakauye, 59, told CALmatters in an interview published Thursday. She said her husband and friends told her:  “You didn’t leave the party. The party left you.” https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5c13240ae4b0860b8b5cc37d

It is really hard to try and believe the modern #GOP isn't racist when they repeatedly surround themselves with them. _As the state continues to diversify, Republicans decided they could best learn what the population truly wants by inviting David Horowitz, the leader of a vehemently anti-immigration and anti-Muslim hate group, to keynote the gathering. The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the David Horowitz Freedom Center as “a platform to project hate and misinformation.” But Colorado Republicans welcomed him with open arms – and he gave them what they wanted._ #Colorado #GOP https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/12/right-colorado-elected-gay-governor-state-republicans-huddled-hate-group-leader/

When you read this and believe the #GOP in Michigan is even more batshit crazy than you originally thought, consider this as well: the Republican party has been using the states as testing grounds for decades. They try something in one state, see how it plays our and then either adjust or apply to other states. If passed, House Bill 6553 would authorize both houses of the Legislature “to intervene in any action commenced in any court of this state whenever the Legislature or a house of the Legislature deems such intervention necessary in order to protect any right or interest of this state, or of that body.” https://www.mlive.com/news/2018/12/house-approves-bill-allowing-michigan-legislature-to-intervene-in-court-cases.html

While the Democrats were playing race politics, the #GOP was busy enshrining Republican rule across the nation. If you haven't connected the dots yet, this article does a great job of explaining it to you. Taken together, this is a powerful set of tools. Draw maps that let you win even when you lose. Use the resulting power to enact measures to suppress the vote of the other side further. Count on a minority rule president to undercount your opponents in the census, and a minority-rule Senate to confirm justices who will strike down any obstacles to the plan. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/nov/04/america-minority-rule-voter-suppression-gerrymandering-supreme-court?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Google%2B

Does #DonaldTrump even understand the oath of office he took to protect the Constitution? Does he understand what the Constitution says? Will #TrumpNation mind that he's eroding the separation of powers and attacking and equal branch of government? For three years he's been de-legitimizing the press, now he's threatened to go after the newly elected Democratic House and turning his gaze upon the Supreme Court. When will the #GOP believe enough is enough? When will they stand for America over their demagogue? “This is like the low a country has hit because this is not just a president who continuously attacks the independence of the judiciary, he consistently attacks the independence of any institution that suggests he can’t do whatever he wants when he wants,” she explained. via Joseph Milan Originally shared by Political News #politics #Democrats #Resist #TheResistance #NotMyPresident #NeverTrump The White House thinks they can beat John Roberts using Twitter: MSNBC analys...

Could you imagine if Obama had skipped this tradition? The #GOP would be firing up their pitchforks and denouncing him as just about everything they deem unpatriotic. #DonaldTrump, on the other hand, gets a free pass. Originally shared by Chris Kim A Not even our own National Cemetery? The "Commander-in-Chief" who rants for respect cannot be bothered to honor those who courageously answered the call in defense of this great nation. Really, how can anyone see it as anything but shameful disrespect at best? My heart breaks for our veterans. My sincerest, most genuine gratitude for all who serve and have served. We honor your service. We honor your sacrifice. You are not forgotten. It's been an unofficial Veteran's Day tradition for years. The commander in chief visits the tomb of the unknown soldier at Arlington National Cemetery to honor those who served and sacrificed. Donald Trump is not going. https://www.newsandguts.com/trump-cancels-veterans-day-visit-arlington-ra...

One would think the #GOP wouldn't want to draw attention to gerrymandering. The panel ruled in favor of seven Republican plaintiffs in the redistricting case who argued their influence in the 6th District was diluted in violation of their First Amendment rights. Originally shared by Joseph Milan Boohoo! Republicans crying about the only Dem gerrymandered state in the country! Will SCOTUS duck this 'sociological gobbeldygook' again?

President Trump plans to sign an executive order that would remove the right to citizenship for babies of non-citizens and unauthorized immigrants born on U.S. soil, he said yesterday in an exclusive interview for "Axios on HBO," a new four-part documentary news series debuting on HBO this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET/PT. Let that sink in for a moment. #DonaldTrump and his conservative allies are going to try and overturn a Constitutional Amendment via Executive Order. If the #GOP allows this to go unchallenged then the grand liberal experiment known as Democracy has failed and Donald Trump's will have the authority to override any and all portions of our Constitution. #TrumpNation https://www.axios.com/trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order-0cf4285a-16c6-48f2-a933-bd71fd72ea82.html

Will the ever-narcissistic #DonaldTrump throw the #GOP under the bus if his party loses in November? Probably. https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/17/politics/donald-trump-republicans/index.html

In #TrumpNation all standards of decorum and decency have been ironed out of the #GOP. “I hope the president can come to the realization that he should really stop insulting people,” Powell continued. “I used this two years ago when I said I could not vote for him in the 2016 election. Why? He insulted everybody. He insulted African-Americans, he insulted women, he insulted immigrants. He insulted our best friends around the world—all of his fellow candidates up on the stage during the debates. I don’t think that’s what should be coming out of a president of the United States. But I don’t see anything that’s changed in the last two years.” https://www.newsweek.com/colin-powell-donald-trump-america-we-people-madeleine-albright-constitution-1157119

Here's to hoping they're wrong,, but the #DonaldTrump/#GOP mantra of keep spending money you don't have is going to catch up with the US somehow. “We won’t be able to call it a recession, it’s going to be worse than the Great Depression,” economic commentator Peter Schiff told the Post. “The U.S. economy is in so much worse shape than it was a decade ago.” In #TrumpNation it's always Obama's fault. https://www.newsweek.com/stock-market-1134867
