    Do it. Don’t listen to the RHINOs telling you not to, this I’d the best idea ever.

    Honestly though, besides positively reinforcing every pathology he has, she’s probably also literally shining his… … …butt.

          She parrots their racism and talking points like any other Maga freak. The only difference is, currently at least, how open and loud she is about it, which is bad optics for Maga - can’t say the quiet parts out loud just yet. If they win, expect this harpy to be right by Donold’s side.

        Yeah… Weird claim to make based on this. As someone who dated a girl who was later diagnosed with BPD, she was a lot of things… But racism has nothing to do with it.

        Still haven’t fully recovered from that relationship though. Shit is brutal.

    Following the antics of 45 Skidoo is exhausting.

    I thought he was with Hope Hicks, and then learned she’d thrown him under the bus at the NYC fraud trial.

    Meanwhile, Melania is sitting with a ghost writer and trying to decide who she wants to play her in the movie version.

        If you’re doing a serious drama Nicole Kidman or Sandra Bullock.

        Comedy Drama? Tina Fey

        Full comedy? Melissa McCarthy or Amy Schumer [because it would make the real Melania’s head explode]

    I didn’t think he was having an affair with Laura Loomer until he basically insisted he wasn’t as an answer to an unrelated question.

      Just like the cognitive tests. No one asked him how he did on the cognitive tests, heck no one can find out how he actually did thanks to HIPAA. But he obvously has no understanding of that so he thinks he needs to get ahead of the story of how terribly he did on the cognitive tests.

        This is the classic Trump response to an awkward, uncomfortable question. 1) Don’t answer the question and then 2) Answer another question that nobody asked.

        For example, when Trump was asked about paying for hookers, instead of simply saying, “I don’t patronize prostitutes” he said, “I’m a germophobe” instead.

      Maybe he just thinks he had an affair with her because he daydreamed while he was schlackin’ it on the toilet. Who knows what’s going on in that diseased brain at this point.

          Don’t sweat it, he probably smacked his stubby little pud around until getting so frustrated by his erectile dysfunction he angry posted to social media about how he won the debate.

            She’s most unfit for all of them. But let’s see her get appointed

            On January 14, 2019, Loomer convinced several men she met in a Home Depot parking lot, who she claimed were undocumented, to jump the fence with her at Nancy Pelosi’s Napa, California, home. The group set up a tent on Pelosi’s lawn to protest immigration before being removed by police. They were not arrested.

            For homeland security

      On twitter yesterday I saw some MAGA people discussing that she was “right” but it’s bad optics for the more moderate republicans so she should be distanced until after the election. They accept her.

        There’s some bridges where you can follow Twitter or Mastodon/BlueSky accounts (or probably anyone) on your preferred service. You can’t interact, obviously, but if you’re just following reporters for news or whatever, you can get a read-only type feed.

    Loomer, for her part, fired back by tweeting that Graham is disloyal to Trump and a closeted gay man, while attacking Greene as antisemitic and mocking the circumstances of her divorce.

      The Graham thing is pretty obvious, and would make me feel bad for him having to constantly hide his sexuality if he didn’t choose to tie himself to a political ideology where being openly gay is political suicide.

        I’m a virtually powerless USA citizen who has almost no power. Watching asshats with undeserved power or status fight among themselves is one of the few times I have hope that we won’t slide further down the drain. Almost everything else I see runs counter to that, so I feel justified enjoying their freakouts.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
