Examples of GOP Leadership

The GOP long ago decided they didn't want to govern, they want to rule and have slowly worked toward that goal. If they can control enough states they will convene a constitutional convention and change a few key things that will bring about minority rule. That's been the long time plan till Stinky won the presidency and attempted a coup to stay in power. Looks like they have a new plan to subvert future elections and steal elections to take power, fucking fascists.

Never happen
"Per committee rules, legislation bestowing a Congressional Gold Medal upon a recipient must be co-sponsored by two-thirds of the membership of both the House of Representatives and the Senate before their respective committees—the House Committee on Financial Services and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs—will consider it."
2/3 of the house or the senate either one will never agree to this shit, the republicans would have to have a truly overwhelming majority in both for this bullshit to get a pass. If that ever happens, we'll have a lot more serious shit to deal with than giving murderers a medal

Malaria Trump’s stay in Cairo during her trip to Africa cost taxpayers $95,050. A spokesperson said Trump was in Cairo for six hours and didn’t actually spend the night at the hotel. But, let’s talk about the VP’s cookware she paid for herself.

What exactly has gone wrong in America? Something made middle-aged white American men go desperately off the rails

Everyone has a pet theory or two about what has gone wrong in America. And by America I of course mean the United States of, discounting the other 34 countries of the Americas — which speaks to our exceptional self-centeredness, which might in fact be seen as one of the overarching reasons why...

What exactly has gone wrong in America? Something made middle-aged white American men go desperately off the rails

Everyone has a pet theory or two about what has gone wrong in America. And by America I of course mean the United States of, discounting the other 34 countries of the Americas — which speaks to our exceptional self-centeredness, which might in fact be seen as one of the overarching reasons why the country has gone to pot. Not only do we harbor a fervent belief that we have nothing to learn from others, we barely comprehend that they exist.

With the Republican Party's platform morphing from obstruction to fascism (e.g., CPAC is planning a spring fling in authoritarian Hungary), citizens losing their minds over wearing masks and talking up anything but a safe and free vaccine in a deadly pandemic that has taken more American lives than were lost in our Civil War (in an era before doctors could do much more than use a saw), and school board members facing violent threats for supporting basic inclusion and diversity efforts in public schools — for many, the concept of American exceptionalism has been turned on its head.

One could easily contend, as was argued back in the day, that the country "went south" (literally) when it was first truly established because too much had to be given to the South to get the Constitution ratified. We are still suffering from those compromises, and still making them, to this day. America's hidden wound, as writer Wendell Berry termed it, our collective unwillingness to fully acknowledge our history of slavery, is now producing the bad-faith arguments about critical race theory being taught in public schools and the banning of books that address the history of slavery in this country. This wound may prove mortal.

In what I wish were a side note, I will mention the insightful — and unfortunately highly pertinent to our era — article entitled "Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson, published Harper's Magazine in 1941. If you've not read it, read it now, as if we were up against it. Because we are.

My few pet theories cannot compete with the increasingly bizarre QAnon-ish fantasies on the right, of which the less said the better. (I won't bother to link to anything. Anyway, as we know all too well now: Do your own research!)

While there is still time, while we enjoy what could be the final days of this little experiment in semi-representational democracy, let me put a few lesser theories forward, just for the record. Lesser theories, one might say, from my admittedly lesser mind.

the answer:


it's in the algorithm.

just read history and you'll see this shit has happened over and over and over. Anything you can point to today has a time in history when it happened before..what's made them over the top is the internet..they have access to technology they don't really understand or should need to use.

you don't go deer hunting with warheads.

also, our government has allowed them fly the Confederate flag, re-enactment? are you fvkcing kidding me? does Germany allow re-enactment? the Nazi flag? Nazism in general?

I was thinking the militarization of internet trolls to catfish people online, but you are correct too. It is the militarized trolls that have the algorithms to show them exactly who and how to attack us in real time with maximum impact.

Quote of the day

"Let’s be honest, the reason Fox News/GOP is so pissed about Le Creuset is that we have a VP who thinks about feeding people rather than killing them. If we had a VP that bought a gun instead Jeanine Pirro would have climaxed on live TV."

Donald will be in prison by the 2022 election, much less 2024. NY, GA or the feds, take yer pick on who will prosecute his ass first. I'm betting on NY, no pardon possible there and they have enough to put him away for good, since his lunatic followers would pose a terrorist threat, it will be maximum security time too.

I dunno how these people overlook the indisputable fact that several jurisdictions, including the feds have Donald by the balls for serious crimes. If they let him walk it will be aiding and abetting his crimes and obstruction of justice, not just with the feds either. The fact is Donald is more useful running around lose, sowing division and discord among republicans, not allowing them to organize, or select leaders and he's taking all the small donor money the GOP house candidates depend on. Wait until he goes to court, he'll have them jumping through rings of fire and walking on hot coals before they lock him up.
