The Republican Agenda 2021 and Forward

One of my "favorite" things or more consistent things about this brand of the republican party is it's crippling lack of originality. It's as if the party isn't only incapable of any kind of governing, it's culture wars are often based on twisting something dems have discussed.

Case in point, the latest round of going after NPR, because it isn't Faux News.

Let's stop pretending about these people. They won't be satisfied until we are reliving a fictional version of the 1950's, with the same level of knowledge & beliefs.

Old leatherface is still up to no good? Was hoping I heard the last of that miserable woman. You would think having millions of dollars, fancy cars, houses and yachts and never-ending comfort and security - never having to have worked an honest day in your life - would give these people motivation to do something good, instead of being annoying roadbumps on the path to American civility and improvement.
 
I love to hear Buttigieg speak, he's articulate, quick witted, he has a friendly, inviting delivery but can engage a pleasant snark on demand :D I was going to post this in the car area, where he was responding to some bozo about EV pricing, just factual and deliberate while clearly not taking any shit (and making that clear).

We need to hear more of him.

I'm assuming the favors that got her that money/cars/homes are being called in.

 
More confusion from me. The public education system is supposedly highly slanted to a liberal agenda that is indoctrinating young minds to hate America. Yet there seems to be no shortage of homophobic white supremacist patriots emerging from this same education system. So what’s the problem, that they don’t all turn out that way?

President Lincoln’s Republican Party Was the Original Party of Big Government

Republicans are fixated on the idea that their party is connected to the party of President Lincoln, whose party also bore the name Republican. During this election season, they keep evoking the ha…

"Big government began with President Lincoln’s Republican Party, which in fundamental ways is the progenitor of the modern Democratic Party of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Lincoln’s party was not one of small, non-intrusive government, minimal taxation, traditional social mores, and white supremacy. It was the party of strong federal intervention and moral directive against the institution of slavery and Southern secession, the party of federally funded higher education, federally funded national transportation, and social welfare. The radical Republicans of Lincoln’s Party with their reform zeal and moral interventionist vision would be to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren."

DOH!

Just wait until these people find out about the real teachings of Jesus.

The Republican party relies heavily on the uneducated. It keeps them from asking questions they don't want to answer and it's no mistake that it's largely accepted that a public high school graduate isn't yet qualified to do anything beyond the most basic of jobs. They need unquestioning cogs in the machine.

He also mentioned red states having a lower life expectancy due to low investment in healthcare and scaring their voters with death panels propaganda which is something Republicans don't want to answer for. I'd take it a step further. Red states also have the harshest abortion restrictions. If people are dying off earlier they've found another way to replenish the cogs.

But hey, I guess as long as they don't have to answer to the pronoun police then it makes their meaningless cog life worth it. Give them some dignity!

It sure would be nice to see some cross-party endorsements. Would be nice to see some republicans endorse Warnock because he’s quite clearly - and not by a small margin - the more qualified, sensible, decent candidate. I believe I’ve already seen progressive groups endorse Cheney, noting that her stance on democracy supersedes the clear policy differences. She too, is beyond more qualified than her opponents (remember her debate a few days back? She looked like a distinguished, sane individual surrounded by rodeo clowns).

I’d like to see a couple democrats - maybe even President Biden - endorse Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney. Anything that can be done to try to get some cross-party cooperation and to get these lunatics out of office.

Agree. I would also add Rep. Adam Kinzinger. I don't know much about him, but thought the manner in which questioned witnesses while weaving an easy to understand narrative about the events of Jan 6th was superb. An attorney friend of mine agreed, and said he was shocked learning he isn't a lawyer. He's also condemned trump and the enablers around him.
 
I am not ashamed to admit I had to think about this one for a minute

Makes perfect sense from them though.

These people aren’t too bright. Best case scenario if they pull off all their initiatives is a ton of angry poor people who will need to be controlled by a police state. That may sound like that’s fine for the people on top, but you know what that won’t be good for? Capitalism…the main, if not only, thing that keeps those at the top there. You can’t police state people into buying crap they don’t need with money they don’t have.

The wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has reportedly hired a former Turning Point USA staffer who left the conservative organization after reports emerged that she once sent a text saying “I hate blacks.”

Thomas’s wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, has reportedly hired ex-TPUSA staffer Crystal Clanton, Mediaite first reported.

Clanton’s comments became public last year when The New Yorker obtained and published screenshots of text messages sent by Clanton to another TPUSA employee. “I HATE BLACK PEOPLE. Like fuck them all . . . I hate blacks. End of story,” Clanton wrote, according to The New Yorker.

{mosads}Clanton, at the time, told the New Yorker that she had “no recollection” of the messages.

“I have no recollection of these messages and they do not reflect what I believe or who I am and the same was true when I was a teenager,” she said in a statement to the magazine.

Thomas has reportedly hired Clanton to assist her with right-wing media projects, Mediaite reported.

Thomas, whose husband is the only African-American Supreme Court justice, is a columnist for The Daily Caller and currently serves on TPUSA’s advisory board. She also founded the conservative advocacy group, Liberty Central, whose mission was to fight the “hard-left agenda,” according to the outlet.

All of this shit is "not a bug, it's a feature".
 
When you see something like this, it makes you realize that an alternate dimension isn't that far away.



There's a reason why some would call themselves the "orange mafia", it's one of the few times you get the truth.

The only people who are all for leaving things to the states, are people who's party has stacked state legislatures so that they stay in power.

Rights are FUCKING rights for a reason. Because there's always some asshole who doesn't believe some shouldn't have the same rights as they do, and are willing to use the gov't to prevent those rights. So we have a federal gov't to insure that the country's citizenry has access to those rights, no matter the assholes in charge in their state. We can see the fallout from Roe Vs Wade. When erode rights, it empowers assholes who aren't concerned with anyone else but their own little butt hurt feelings.
