The Republican Agenda 2021 and Forward

Yes, it's over "spurious" Russian collusion claims in the 2016 election. But Trump's campaign chairman shared campaign and polling information with a Russian business associate who the Treasury Dept. said in turn shared this with Russian intelligence services. Like most of what Trump does, this sounds like total nonsense just meant to provoke reaction in his base of deplorables. I bet that if it ever comes to a case, once the defense asks for documents or calls Trump to testify the suit will be dropped.

What kind of a lawyer would agree to participate in a charade like this?

If we ever get to a 2024 presidential debate and Trump is involved, or one of his reprehensible clones, the Dems should drop the "when they go low we go high" attitude. For instance, they seem ineffective in countering the claim that the GOP is better for business. Trump left the economy in a shambles, due in part to his disastrous handling of the pandemic, and he increased the national debt due in part to his tax cuts. His ballyhooed tariff war with China was a failure, as were a long list of his personal businesses, belying the myth that he's a successful businessman (as opposed to playing one on t.v.).

What a pathetic excuse for a human being… not as pathetic as those willing to do anything for a chance to lick his boots though.

Whatever reputation-washing William Barr attempts with his book, we can never forget his many crimes, beginning with mischaracterizing the Mueller Report in a way that gave Republicans an excuse NOT to impeach, despite Mueller himself testifying and telling them “I can’t convict; that’s why I gave YOU this report.”

We could have gotten rid of Trump then and there.

Lindsey Graham is getting grief on Twitter for saying "As Ukraine burns, President Biden is talking about Charlottesville and domestic politics. Very sad."
Lindsey Graham’s Attempted Smear Of Onetime Buddy Biden Spectacularly Backfires

So Lindsey, are you criticizing your golf buddy for dredging up 2016 politics while Ukraine burns, you know, the Ukraine that your golf buddy tried to blackmail?
Lindsey?...Hello?...

This clearly demonstrates an important part of the agenda since 45.

Qualified, competent, or intelligence is no longer a factor in some candidates, but just a basic ability to burble out what sounds like a pleasing talking point. Why? Because stupidity goes well with blind loyalty.

GOP's new plan: Raise taxes on working people, end Social Security and Medicare

Rick Scott believes he can get elected president on a program of making inequality great again. He may be right

In case you're still fuzzy on the 'r' agenda, let me use the above to make one important point very clear.

IF you are not wealthy, you are not of much worth to the party outside of keeping the party in power.

Anyone who suggests congress "talk about fixing" anything, is smiling in your face & telling you they know a 'do nothing' congress will do exactly that... NOTHING. Which would sunset medicare & social security, two things the more extreme of the party don't care for, since it does NOT benefit the wealthy.

The Republican party leadership needs to create a platform, and quick. Scott cannot figure out that raising taxes and getting rid of social security in Florida, the retirement capital of the nation, is a bad idea?

Rick Scott is everything wrong with America. He committed billions in Medicare fraud. Although his COMPANY was convicted of 14 felonies, he got a $10 million “golden parachute” and left with about $350 million worth of stock. This is a man who should be in prison right now. A walking indictment of the ”justice system” that applies to the wealthy and connected in America.

On the latest episode of the muckraker podcast he talked about the agenda of the modern Republican party of which Trump isn’t a fluke - more of a next phase, the protection and expansion of the wealth and power of those at the top.

The bottom is about to fall out on capitalism. There are countless signs of this but the most glaring is a lot of focus has been put on home ownership being key to wealth, current and future. Well, most people can’t afford to buy a house and a large reason for that is equity firms scooping them up to rent back out.

For the average citizen there are 2 main ways to attempt to tip the scales back towards more equality. The first is voting people out of office who prop up the failing system. It’s fairly well known by now that Republicans are attempting to dismantle democracy and that type of voting from happening.

The second option for the average citizen is violent revolution against those at the top. That’s when the top turns to authoritarianism to crush any lower level rebellion. Obviously with Trumpism this is where Republicans are leaning and unfortunately there’s a lot of useful idiots eating that shit up.

Fascism is the fan favorite of insecure males. Their economic situation may not improve but at least they get to go crack some skulls. Fascism never offers solutions, only enemies (Fox News anyone?). Their list of enemies on standby is long and never ending. Reminds me of the Onion headline “North Korea Declares Sun Rising Act of War.”
 
You’ve got direct evidence of Trump’s involvement in January 6 - which any rational person saw playing out in the open anyways. You have a member of congress accusing his peers of cocaine-fueled sex orgies. Another is holding events with white nationalists. You’ve got racist Republican jackasses grandstanding with their bigotry during confirmation hearings for a black female judge. You’ve got Trump giving “perfect interviews” where he’s again begging a hostile foreign nation - one engaged in war crimes, no less - for help in digging up dirt on his political opponents. A Supreme Court justice who’s wife is engaged in the coup plot at the highest levels, who was a lone dissent in aiding the January 6 committee with a ruling on Trump’s records.

That’s before you get to their homophobic Florida bill, their dumb war with Disney, border paranoia, promoting Russian propaganda, and I’m sure I’m forgetting several more.

This is one of the two major political parties. How anyone manages to take that seriously is beyond me.
