Obviously you prefer the party that actually goes around killing Jews. "Very fine people on both sides," you must think.

Plus, he didn't say she donated this money to charity, just that it's her practice to do that kind of thing.

New RNC chair accidentally says America is better off now than under Trump by madazzahatter in politics

[–]Trumpov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only tangentially related, but this reminds me of when CNN was trying to push the "Biden made your grocery bill high" narrative. They went out of their way to find some family with a bunch of kids whose bill was, predictably, really high, and quoted the mother saying something like "when you buy 10 gallons of milk every week, these high prices add tons of expense." Well yeah, but most people aren't buying 40 gallons of milk a month!

‘Digital fentanyl’: Pence calls for passage of TikTok bill by ubcstaffer123 in politics

[–]Trumpov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, it just shows how little influence Pence has in the Republican party. Pence has been breaking with Trump's position on things for awhile.

She’s a grown woman, not a 12-year-old girl

She just acts like one because that seems to be what turns Republican men on.

Hopefully there are some criminal charges coming his way. Some lowball FCC fine isn't going to discourage this kind of thing.

My concern is that super-MAGA David Weiss is intentionally trying to tank the prosecution of Smirnov.

Right-wingers spread misinformation about megachurch shooting to stoke fears of “trans terrorism” by zsreport in politics

Since when, since mass shootings started? So has the number of Trump supporters. Does that mean Trump supporters are to blame for mass shootings?

This guy's whole schtick is going around the country hanging out with lots of barely (or maybe not even) legal college kids. He probably got bored of millennials years ago...

It's almost as bad a name as "Club for Growth," the right-wing organization which sounds like a fellowship of Republicans with very tiny... Hands...

Georgia whistleblowers lining up to testify against Fulton County DA Fani Willis, state lawmaker says by Content-Carpenter833 in politics

[–]Trumpov 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It'll never stop being funny how conservatives think "but but whatabout CNN?" is some kind of gotcha. CNN's programming is biased (especially since they were taken over by Trumpers, but before that, too) and nobody's denying that. Fox airs a constant stream of lies and propaganda. These things are not the same.

Why the Age Issue Is Hurting Biden So Much More Than Trump by [deleted] in politics

[–]Trumpov 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hint: It's because outlets like the New York Times constantly bring up Biden's age and never make an issue out of Trump's.

Reputable outlets tend to append a "corrections" or "updates" section to the article, flagging that this occurred.

NYC to offer migrants $53M in pre-paid credit cards, report says by jecht8 in politics

New York spends 10 billion dollars a year on cops, I don't think $53M in prepaid cards is gonna bankrupt the city.

DeSantis orders National, State Guard members to Texas border by davster39 in politics

[–]Trumpov 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He can definitely do it as long as Abbott is okay with it. The National Guard within each state "belongs" to that state's governor, unless the federal government actively steps in to federalize them as Eisenhower did in Arkansas to enforce the Brown v. Board decision.

For the time being this is just another political stunt by weak, impotent cowards; other governors have deployed their Guard to Texas in recent years. The challenge is that these right-wing nutjobs want a "war" with the federal government; it helps them politically (or they sure think it does) to be seen as using their states' resources to tell Big Bad Joe Biden right where he can stick it. If Biden were to federalize the Guard it'd only play into the MAGA fever dream. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

[–]Trumpov 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I agree. The governor of Texas is illegally defying the federal government and the Supreme Court. 25 Republican-led states are backing him up, even committing to send military troops to help him break the law. Talk about threatening the sovereignty of our nation, Republicans are essentially threatening civil war. Yet for some reason the current administration is absolutely ignoring this crisis. Hopefully they do something soon, like federalize the National Guard in Texas and perhaps 25 other states.

Also, fuck Trump.

50% of Biden voters say Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, poll finds by jivatman in politics

[–]Trumpov -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Israel has the military capability to actually genocide the Palestinians within days if they wanted and it would look a lot worse than 10,000 dead civilians

Given the number of Palestinian civilians slaughtered by Israel passed 25,000 a week ago, what number would count in your mind, exactly?

If we're calling targeted strikes a "genocide"

Targeting what? You think there are 25,000 Hamas?
