To think this was the party that wanted critique AOC's knowledge of global affairs. Imagine if she just said "I don't care about that", how Faux News would have run with that?

Then again, we are talking about a party where quite a few have expressed their love for all things Putin, so... 🤷‍♂️

JD Vance trying to disown his former investment banking and celebrity author lifestyle and get back down home to a decent campaign-season distillation of his hillbilly Trump votin' roots.

Well done there. What a moron. So well done that even Trump-votin' hillbillies might be tempted to call him a moron. Especially if their family had hailed from Ukraine, or for that matter from anywhere in eastern Europe where Russian tanks rolled into town to establish a new order for satellite states scarfed up into what was then the USSR.

You know who does care about what happens to Ukraine? Polish-Americans. And Romanian-Americans. And Lithuanian-Americans. And Latvian- Estronian- and Slovak-Americans. You know--voters who have connections to bordering countries.

Guess he's writing off that whole bloc.

And hey, I got lineage from Ukraine. But he wasn't getting my vote anyway.

Yeah. Massive disappointment there. She seems to have completely flipped. I wonder how much if it is the result of the establishment left and media constantly slamming her while they were supposed to be on the same side. She pretty much killed Harris' Presidential run during the debates and given her current polling numbers as VP that's probably a good thing.

Seldom has somebody been so genius at distilling the Republican platform into so few words. #NailedIt

You have to admit, when a candidate is so bad & around the bend, it's funny seeing people trying to make comedy from them.

It's like a movie or something is so bad, it's good for watching the spectacle of it. Something is so stupid, it's genius in how you can't even mock it.

Some interesting insights into a Repub agenda here

GOP senator's call for all Americans to pay income tax sparks criticism from White House — CNN Politics

The chairman of Senate Republicans' campaign operation on Tuesday unveiled his vision for the future of the GOP, which was quickly met with a retort from the White House.

The precious wall. I am surprised that this is still a campaign talking point.



Looks like the US is gunning to be a failed communist country. Hoping for blind patriots is probably the only way the GOP will survive in the future though.



Good, on the surface, or one could read it in a different way - potentially a way to remove any type of affirmative action



So the aim is to continue gutting the government and proclaiming that government does not work? Instead, it's obviously much better to have a selected few elites who can just say any old thing on twitter about Jesus, guns and babies, whilst living like kings. Interesting way to run a country.


Sensible. Should be taken further, but it's a start



Need to remind voters that you are a bigoted piece of shit



The US is very much a globalist and it got to be as rich and powerful by meddling in politics across the globe. Suggesting that it quietly skulks away into a corner is an interesting approach and not one that I was expecting. It's like publicly admitting that we will let the sun set on our empire.

Still curious on the details of what it means that all Americans should pay taxes. Will billionaires and corporations continue taking the piss?

I think the Republicans are better off WITHOUT an explicit agenda. The first point in gigantic lettering is about making kids pledge to the flag. Not freedom for them, but forced patriotism. Forget that such forced displays were tried before and ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court because of this tiny bit of text in the Constitution called the First Amendment.

I‘d love to go on, but others should just read it themselves to see how absurd it truly is. It’s the 3000 word version of “Jesus Guns Babies”

PS - Since when do Republicans want to raise taxes?

The dynamics that led to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc are not hugely different from the current situation in the US. The key similarity is how the system has become perilously top-heavy and is more and more leaching from the bottom up. When the peerage fails to adjust their extraction in order to maintain an at least apparently reasonable balance to sustain the upflow with the proper amount of backwash to the peons, the system will become unstable. This seems to be happening now: the wealthy have fully lost sight of anything other than more.
 
Republicans are going to love America to its death. They have an unhealthy relationship with this fantasized version of America they have. It's mostly a white-privilege America where they get all the same privileges without any recognition that it comes at the cost of the well-being and rights of others.

Where are his calls for wealthy corporations and individuals to pay at least the same effective tax rates as the average blue collar worker? Where are his calls to hold police to a higher standard that goes along with the funding we will provide them?

I heard a discussion of this on the radio today.

Parents of transgender children in Texas already have to be prepared with a dossier of doctor’s notes, prescriptions, etc. because they fear child protective services will come after them. A big item the anti-trans people are keying on is puberty-blocking medication. The idea of the medication is that it can slightly delay puberty to give time to consider gender-change procedures. Apparently they are willing to take kids away from parents to prevent them from taking the medication.

This is reprehensible. Local authorities are already telling Abbott to sod off.

This from the people that say checking vaccine paperwork is Nazi-like? Here’s a hint: taking transgender kids away from their parents IS Nazi-like.
