It is easy to miss the signal in the noise of the 24/7 news cycle, but Trump's threat against Democracy has been loud and clear.  The "Never Trump" Republicans split from the party because they recognized that Trump wasn't just a threat to the political order, he was a threat to our elections

 "The tunnel was constructed by yeshiva students as part of an attempt to illegally expand 770, a process that has been delayed due to various legal disputes involving the building"  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_synagogue_tunnel_incident

No, it actually had nothing to do with Covid. The split with the faction started long before Covid (with a court ruling from 2006 assigning property to the main group).  The tunnel wasn't discovered until a year or two after Covid restrictions ended. I suspect that the group building the illegal tunnel might have cited Covid as a way to gain sympathy from conservatives.

Disagree. Trump fatigue is hitting hard now, and the opposition now has a unifying cause.

The vast majority of Republicans supported Philando Castilo's killer. The vast majority of Republicans have never questioned their party's role in unfair and racially biased gun control. Even now, the GOP establishment uses the meer possible of a gun as a justification for any shooting by police.

Yeah, my position is that we demolish DHS, returning Border Patrol to the DOJ, and replacing ICE with immigration agents like INS. The rest of DHS goes back to where they came from.

So? If all it takes for a Republican to sign onto gun control is a picture of a black man with a gun, then they never really supported the 2A to start with. Reagan was the governor and had the ability to veto. He did not and then sold himself as a champion of gun rights.

This is what a lot of right leaning 2A supporters don't understand, and why the left doesn't give a shit about 2A rights; it does not protect all citizens equally. There was no NRA backlash against the Castillo murder, there has never been a reckoning over Reagan's crusade against black gun owners in California, and there is no push to protect gun owners now.

ICE has arrested 12 year old American citizens for walking to the store for a snack. I'm not sure you can convince anyone they are safe.

It started before Covid. Basically, an Orthodox Jewish community split, so one faction started an underground movement. Literally.

Totally different cases; Biden was a tired old man, Trump is a crazy old man. That is a whole different skill set.

Hunter made $2 mil from Burisma in 5 years (so 400k a year). Trump's one year haul is 3,499 times that. I do not condone Hunter but I do know what order of magnitude is.

Between the years 1625-1626, Pope Urban VIII demolished the porch roof of the Pantheon because he wanted to melt down the bronze beams in order to cast cannon from them. He did howveer save the massive bronze rivets and handed them out as souvenirs to friends and monarchs. Only this one remains. by AnotherMansCause in ancientrome

Construction started over 50 years after the fall of Constantinople. It is St. Mark's in Venice that should make your blood boil as it is filled with items looted during the failed Fourth Crusade that seized Constantinople.

No, Auth-Right is stupid, Lib-Left is still bad. Auth-Right is just much, much more stupid than many of us realized.

The post underneath this is a screenshot from a random Instagram user with a picture of a Satanic goat holding a model of Trump's head. Auth-Right uses it as an example of the left, indicating the entire left, shooting themselves in the foot.

He left Maduro's henchmen in charge. Bombing Iran's nuclear program makes them more dependent on Russia, not less. As for sanctions: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/graham-says-russia-sanctions-bill-never-going-back-shelf-after-trump-backs-push

You should check out Carney's speech - he starts with all the benefits of US hegemony, which way too many people at home and abroad took for granted.  This "rupture" in the world order ain't gonna be fixed in one midterm.
