    Scarborough is confusing “America” with the Democrat Party ie if you don’t “believe” in the SOVIET DEMOCRAT PARTY then LEAVE THE COUNTRY!!! WE RUN THE COUNTRY ANYWAY WE WANT AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION WHAT THE PARTY THAT OWNS THE GOVERNMENT SAYS OR DOES!!! LEAVE!!! And we’ll replace you with millions of people who will VOTE for who is paying their bills.”

    If you can't win on policy, you lie, cheat, and steal. Then you accuse the other side of cheating. Classic deflection…The new GOP!

    First & last punch —— if this a fight, then a punch will never win. See, we are all well armed. Bringing a fist to a gunfight is both dumb and a lost cause. Good luck — we’ll see you on the other side.

    So now your leader is a 78 year old dementia man who barely knows where he is, Remember, this is the same guy who a few months ago proudly acclaimed that his coke addicted person was the smartest person he knew. Ask ABC to release the whole unedited tape of Biden’s interview with George S. Rumors are that China Joe had serious cognitive issues. He needed his staff and wife to help him through the interview.

    Ask for the transcript of Biden’s phone call with the Chinese President. Talk is that Joe could barely keep up and spent most of the call being lectured to by President Chi. Biden said nothing about the Uighurs. VP Harris will replace Biden within next 6 to 8 months. She will demonstrate a new level of incompetence. If Biden and Harris is the best the Dems have, then we are all screwed.

    Let me remind on you on how congress voted on the civil rights act of 1964. House Democrats 61% yes, House Republicans 80% yes. Senate Democrats 66% yes, Senate Republicans 82% yes.

    Look at voting rights act of 1965, women's suffrage and 15th amendment and republicans out voted dem's on all of them. The first democratic president, Andrew Jackson signed the Indian removal act into law. FDR's internment of japanese-americans, kkk founded by democrats, confederate leader Jefferson Davis was a democrat. First black senator was republican, first black in the house of representatives was republican. Theodore Roosevelt invited the first black person to dinner at the white house. Democrats manipulate blacks into thinking they are helping them, Republicans actually vote for civil rights. Malcom X said "The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man."

    “My Way or the Highway” is the communist China solution, or how the Nazis did things. Is that really how you want America to work. Both sides have morals and the only way America can and will work is through working together. It’s called compromise.

    Republicans love to hold people back! Republicans are cheating in Republican controlled states making laws that take voting rights away from people of color! Republicans convince poor whites that the Democrats are the problem that keeps them from having a good life! Democrats need to have more hard-hitting messages to the poor telling them the Republicans are holding them back! VOTE THEM OUT!

    everything is by mail or email. it works, its secure and there is NO reason to NOT use this. its the best way to insure that , like the CONSTITUTION SAYS " everyone gets a vote"…(paraphrased for clarity) we should be going towards "compulsory voting". that way its mandatory that EVERYONE'S VOICE WILL BE HEARD! its been working in all the countries that it has been instituted in, like New Zeland, and has gotten the "crazy" out of their gov, like all others. we should be making it easier to vote. not harder. when everyone has to have a say, yes or no or abstain…its a better representation of what the entire country wants. what about this dont you understand?

  28. @thomasdequincey5811

    January 27, 2024 at 7:19 pm

    But…none of the bills stop people from voting. The bills limit the times and places when and where you can vote respectively. Voting has never been a free for all. There have always been bills that limit and safeguard voting. The argument is – do these new bills go too far?

    Georgia Republicans are proud racists! Fat white Lawyer Ralston in the Georgia Legislature owned by Charles Koch are proud to deprive people of their vote.

    America is a racist country in the right corner. I heard on the news tonight the measures that some right-wing states have taken to prevent the colored neighbors from making sure that Trump did not win in those states. Unbelievable that these measures to oppress the colored fellow humans may have been caused by a group of racist whites who may be members of the KKK. It looks like the backward 1950s in this regard. How is it possible that the court allows this. Right-wing figures who can cause this are a threat to America. (They themselves consider themselves the saviors of America …. America that no longer exists …. America from the 50s when the rich had to pay up to 92% tax and the colored fellow men were the servants of the whites …. what is now called the good old days with this kind of harmful figures …. these are also the figures who feel far superior to the colored fellow man, while the right generalizing stands for low educated not / barely thoughtful and heavily religious. starts to think almost always shifts to the left, which is why the right does not want to invest in education, among other things)

    Well, you know, we've seen the footage of Mike Pence being whisked down the stairs; of Mitt Romney and Chuck Schumer being hurried through the halls. Where's the footage of Ron Johnson from January 6th? Was here there, or on some offsite location sending Morse code signals to bullhorn lady telling her how to "take the building"?

    Republicans don't want water to be shared or people to sit while waiting in line to vote. How does that even make sense

Trump suffers the consequences of poor staffing choices

Published

on

By



Jen Psaki looks at why Donald Trump is likely regretting staffing his administration based on culture war credibility rather than competence as FBI director Kash Patel’s antics appear to have reached critical mass, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is spending energy being upset about beards while being unable to end the war with Iran, and Vice President JD Vance is buying himself a multi-million dollar estate in the midst of a political season in which “affordability” is the biggest theme.
