Republican goals:

1. cutting housing subsidies for the poor by 33 percent as soaring rents drive a national affordability crisis.

2. Forcing more than 1 million women and children onto the waitlist of a nutritional assistance program for poor mothers with young children.

3. Reducing federal spending on home heating assistance for low-income families by more than 70 percent with energy prices high heading into the winter months.

When she resigned as UN ambassador after 2 years, Haley had this to say:

“Jared is such a hidden genius that no one understands,” Ms. Haley said. “And Ivanka has been just a great friend, and they do a lot of things behind the scenes that I wish more people knew about, because we’re a better country because they’re in this administration.”

Ms. Haley, who has long been seen as a potential presidential candidate, said on Tuesday that she had no intention of running in 2020, as has been speculated. Instead, she said, she plans to campaign for Mr. Trump’s re-election.

The MAGA Morons are always saying the justice department only prosecutes Republicans. So how can a Democrat get investigated by the corrupt FBI?

“Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) and his wife have been indicted on bribery charges, Justice Department officials announced Friday morning, detailing what officials said was a corrupt scheme involving gold bars, stacks of cash, and using his powerful position to secretly help a foreign country.“

So the guy who was appointed by Trump put the fix in for Hunter Biden? 

“Their bill would raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $11 per hour while also requiring employers to check that their employees are legally authorized to work in the United States”

It’s a miracle! Of course $11 is too little and way too late. Should have been $15 five years ago.

And I have been advocating for immigration enforcement at the work place for 20 years!

“ As a Justice Department lawyer after the 2020 election, Jeffrey Clark drafted a letter to top Georgia officials declaring that the agency had reason to doubt the legitimacy of the state’s election only after he was pressed to do so by then-president Donald Trump, Clark’s lawyer told a skeptical federal judge Monday”

Trump’s own appointee admits Trump inappropriately pressured him to write a bogus letter saying the Justice Department had reason to believe fraud took place in the Georgia election even though the Justice Department did not have that opinion.

“After the Justice Department officials refused to sign Clark’s draft letter, the indictment states, Clark “tried to coerce” them into signing the letter by saying that Trump was offering to make him acting attorney general. Clark accepted that offer on Jan. 3, 2021, according to the indictment”

In the interview that aired Sunday, Welker asked Trump again if he would support a federal ban on abortions.
“It could be state or it could be federal, I don’t frankly care,” he said.

Trump cares about Trump. That is his only core value. 

“In recent days, Trump surrogates and allies pressured Republican senators not to impeach Paxton, posting names and phone numbers of potential impeachment swing voters and urging Paxton supporters to phone their offices. Conservative activists threatened to mount primary challenges to those who voted to convict, as they already have against Republicans in the House.“

MAGA Morons control Texas. The monkeys can’t govern themselves 

On the one hand, Republican Congressman Ken Buck tells the truth about the nonsense the House has accused Biden of - getting Ukraine official Shokin fired to protect Hunter and help Hunter with his Energy company client Burisma.

Then out of the same mouth comes the bullshit that Trump should not have been impeached for Trump’s attempt to blackmail Ukrainian President Zelensky by withholding military aid unless Zelensky agreed to announce an investigation of the exact same story noted above.

“The national polls from Fox News and Quinnipiac University show Trump expanding his lead over DeSantis to 47 and 50 points, respectively. Those are Trump’s largest margins to date in high-quality national polls of the race. And thus his lead in the FiveThirtyEight polling average has expanded to a whopping 41 points.“

“While running hard to the right on issues such as vaccines and by using violent rhetoric, he has clearly and unambiguously alienated middle-of-the-road voters.“

“After President Donald Trump narrowly lost the state, Republican lawmakers raised complaints about the use of ballot drop boxes, absentee voting in nursing homes and other election policies. Over the next year, they consulted with conspiracy theorists and toyed with a discredited theory that lawmakers could revoke the state’s 10 electoral votes but turned up no evidence that would alter the results.“

Now they are trying to fire the head elections official for being too honest.

“Four years ago, the GOP-dominated state Senate unanimously confirmed Wolfe, who was appointed by an elections commission consisting of three Republicans and three Democrats. Republican lawmakers largely stayed out of her way as she and the elections commission navigated how to conduct the 2020 election amid the coronavirus pandemic”

In a call live-streamed on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Joseph A. Ladapo repeated comments made in a live event last week in Jacksonville, Fla., and argued there isn’t enough evidence that the booster’s benefits outweigh any risks. “I will not stand by and let the FDA and CDC use healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new booster shots that have not been proven to be safe or effective,” DeSantis said in a statement after the call with Ladapo and other doctors, which opened with the title “No way FDA.”

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments, opposed vaccine and mask mandates, questioned the safety of COVID-19 vaccines, and spread miscellaneous falsehoods,[citation needed] contradicting professional medical organizations.[6][7][4] Ladapo has also opposed gender-affirming care and counselling for transgender and nonbinary minors.[8][9][10]

“Around early 2020, Ladapo began to write op-eds for The Wall Street Journal on the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, notwithstanding a lack of specialization in infectious diseases, and gained prominence as a skeptic of mainstream consensus on prevention and treatment.[4] In these columns, Ladapo promoted unproven treatments including hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin, questioned the safety of vaccines, and opposed lockdown and mask mandates deriving from his "experience in treating COVID-19 patients at University of California, Los Angeles."[4][6][15][7][16] However, UCLA's staff scheduling roster did not have him assigned to treat any COVID-19 patients, and several of his colleagues said he had never treated any COVID-19 patient.[17][18] Later that year, Ladapo signed the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued for reaching COVID-19 herd immunity by the fringe notion of "focused protection", where the less vulnerable people were allowed to be infected.[16]

In December 2021, during an interview on the Fox Channel, DeSantis was asked directly whether he had received the booster. To which he responded thusly: “So, I’ve done, whatever I did. The normal shot. And that at the end of the day is peoples’ individual decisions about what they want to do.”

Lol, what a loser

It started with Sarah Palin. Then they added Michelle Bachman and Marsha Blackburn.

Now they have Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert.

Republicans love a train wreck in high heels

The end of increased child tax credit payments and other government interventions has dramatically increased the supplemental child poverty rate (incorporates the value of benefits such as child tax credits, earned income tax credits and stimulus checks) in America from 7.8 to 12.4 percent.

Way to go Republicans.

For 2022, the U.S. poverty level was $13,590 for individuals and $23,030 for a family of three.

 “standard measures of underlying inflation are now under 3 percent and falling. Fancier statistical models maintained by the New York Fed tell the same story, and say that underlying inflation has fallen by half since its peak last year.”

So sad - the Republicans were praying for inflation.

“In his book, published in 2022, Esper wrote that Trump's effort "was a national embarrassment that undermined our democracy, our credibility, and our leadership on the world stage."

There are morons on this site who say the J6 mob was not armed. That’s a lie.

“Actions are actions. Dad went to the Capitol with a gun,” said Jackson, then 20 years old. “He walked up the Capitol steps with a gun on his hip.”

They (the family)  blamed Trump for how that January day in 2021 had played out.

Here’s one of the losers who had assaulted Capitol police officer Michael Fanone on January 6.

Only after Fanone walked out did Daniel Rodriguez spend about a minute of his half-hour speech apologizing for shocking the police officer with a stun gun. In the rest of his remarks, he explained “Life has always seemed unfair to me.”
Rodriguez never knew his dad and didn’t finish high school. He worked low-end jobs and spent most of his time with his mother. His attorney said Rodriguez idolized Trump as “the father he wished he had.” In a letter to the court, Rodriguez’s mother described her son’s enthusiasm for Trump as something akin to a teenage crush, writing that suddenly he was eating little, sleeping less and constantly on the phone.

In April, Justice Protasiewicz won a commanding victory in what was widely seen as a referendum on abortion rights. Her 11-point margin was a blowout in Wisconsin, a purple state where presidential contests are routinely decided by fewer than 25,000 votes. She carried 12 Republican-held districts in the State Assembly and six in the State Senate.

Now the Republican state legislature is planning to impeach this judge because she won’t recuse herself on a case that clashes with her stated personal political views.

Attorney General Ken Paxton standing trial today in Texas

This is the kind of moron Texans vote for. Because they’re morons.

Although Trump will lie about how his new business is failing, the reality is he has less active users than the Farmers Almanac. 

The more he lies, the more the MAGA MORONS love him. Losers supporting a loser. Racists supporting a racist.

“TRUTH SOCIAL IS THE GREATEST & ‘HOTTEST’ FORM, SYSTEM, & PLATFORM OF COMMUNICATION IN AMERICA, & INDEED THE WORLD, TODAY. THAT’S WHY I USE IT — THERE IS NOTHING THAT COMES EVEN CLOSE!!!”

What happened to all the guns in Florida that were supposed to make people safer?

A man walks into a Jacksonville grocery store, dressed for combat, and nobody shoots him down? What happened to all those conceal carry Floridians?

The shooter kills 3 black people because he hated black people and then committed suicide.

So on Tuesday, August 15 Trump said he would present an “irrefutable” report of 2020 election fraud on Monday, August 21. Today is August 31.

No report. No press conference. Just another bullshit exercise in stringing along his idiot supporters.

This is a tactic Trump often uses to bullshit people. He claims answers are coming in a week, knowing that people will forget he promised something a week later.

The MAGA Morons support this shyster because he’s bigoted and stupid like them.

Haley was a coward and a flip flopper when it came to Trump’s lies about the 2020 election.

As such, she is unfit to serve.

could this be God’s vengeance for 40 years of twisting our democracy?

McConnell destroyed the greatest legislative body on Earth, “the saucer that cools the hot tea”, for personal and partisan political gain.

Now he is like a vegetable.

He obstructed the Senate with record filibusters (over 400) during the Obama Administration. 

He obstructed confirmations, even for nominees who would eventually get unanimous and bipartisan support, forcing the Democrats to change the rules for confirming lower court judges and cabinet officials.

He then changed the rules for confirming Supreme Court Justices to a simple majority, after condemning Democrats for the same change for lower court votes, that he instigated with his abuse of the filibuster.

He blocked a vote on Mertick Garland, causing a vacancy on the Supreme Court for nearly a year, under the guise of a bogus election year custom, then blew up that custom for his own nominee a short time later.

He jammed through a tax cut for the wealthy donor class, on a party line vote, abusing the Senate rules on the procedure known as reconciliation.

Worst of all he didn’t have the integrity to stand up for the Constitution when Trump was impeached.

He does not deserve dignity in his twilight after such abuses and his complete lack of integrity.

The politicians and the base enabled Trump’s lies about the 2020 election being stolen.

In response he tried to steal it and reverse the results.

Trump supporters and enablers are a disgrace.

Ramaswamy, the guy with an unusually large and misshapen head, incorporated his first business in Bermuda to avoid paying taxes.

All you white, middle aged men who think taxes are unfair to the working man think about that.

Then he created a subsidiary based in China. Isn’t that nice.

What a great American!

Such a great American and patriot that he hardly ever bothered to vote in any elections.

“Ramaswamy brings Trumpian brazenness to denying the undeniable. When asked whether 9/11 was “an inside job” or happened as “the government tells us,” Ramaswamy said: “I don’t believe the government has told us the truth.” When asked by the Atlantic about saying we do not know “the truth” about Jan. 6, 2021, he recurred to skepticism about what the government has said about 9/11. When he claimed to have been misquoted, the Atlantic produced a recording of his words”

But he lies just like Trump, so the MAGA Morons and Libertarians will give him a look

“Meta has quietly begun offering users new controls to opt out of the fact-checking program, allowing debunked posts … to spread in participants’ news-feeds without a warning label”

MAGA MORONS and their Libertarian allies prefer the lies over reality.

This guy lies about everything. He is so fragile he has to lie about his weight. His height and everything else about him.

But the MAGA Morons and the Libertarians love him.

Or in his case as a practicing Hindu, all the Gods are real

This greedy hedge fund manager is so desperate to be president he’s willing to take a shit on his own religion.

See the interview by 60 minutes here:

“The 60-year old Iowan suggested Trump asking Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find enough votes to reverse his 2020 loss in Georgia is potentially “kind of serious.”

“Together with the other three indictments the former president is confronting, it makes Nevermann “in a way … want to resist the left more and say ‘Okay, I can support Trump.’”

“Why did they wait for three years for the indictments?”

Answer - Because witnesses like Lindsey Graham did everything they could do to delay their testimony under oath.

“Federal prosecutors said the aide, Samuel Miele, was behind “fraudulent fund-raising” emails and phone calls that were sent and made to more than a dozen potential campaign contributors.“

Oh right, Santos doesn’t have his own cult of wack jobs like Trump.

I can’t think of one. Not one Libertarian has helped this country in over 200 years.

Here’s a list of misfits from google. This is not a great list. 

Prominent consequentialist libertarians include David D. Friedman, Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Peter Leeson, Ludwig von Mises and R. W. Bradford. Prominent deontological libertarians include Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Ayn Rand and Murray Rothbard.

Let’s remember the most famous Libertarian, Ayn Rand died penniless on welfare.

“But friends said his politics seemed to shift after he reaped sizable returns from his investments in cryptocurrency in the past half-decade. He began to stake out more-libertarian positions in legal briefs, especially in his home state of Wisconsin, where he started donating to Republicans and working with a former judge, Jim Troupis, who Chesebro would later testify under oath had brought him into Trump’s orbit”

So sad to see Harvard trained lawyers like Chesebro and Dershowitz turn to the dark side.

He is shown in an interview here by Judy Woodruff on the NewsHour.

He says “Republicans have reprehensibly failed us” with their support of Donald Trump

“Former president Donald Trump and 18 others were criminally charged in Georgia on Monday in connection with efforts to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 victory in the state, according to an indictment made public late Monday night.“

“Willis’s investigation quickly expanded to other alleged efforts by him or his supporters, including trying to thwart the electoral college process, harassing election workers, spreading false information about the voting process in Georgia and compromising election equipment in a rural county.“

Well will the idiots stop supporting this guy?

“Any time you have a pack of dogs chasing you down and you’re willing to stand firm and fight, you’re going to get my vote,” said Mallory Butler, 39, who lives in Polk County, Fla., and supports Mr. Trump. “DeSantis doesn’t have a pack of dogs hunting him down, and that tells me that somebody’s probably backing him, or he’s in somebody’s pocket at this point. And Trump doesn’t have that.”

unless the pack of dogs are chasing a black man, then it’s just a common criminal getting what he deserves.

The Republican morons believe Trump is being prosecuted because he is a threat to the “Deep State”, not because he actually broke the law.

Never mind that the witnesses testifying against Trump are Republicans 

Never mind that everyone heard and saw Trump commit these crimes in plain site for everyone to see

Never mind that judges and prosecutors and officials appointed by Trump himself are part of this so called “Deep State” conspiracy to get Trump.

“Each of the fake Michigan electors were charged with eight state felonies, including forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery, and publishing a counterfeit record. Some of their defense attorneys have already said they’ll challenge the novel prosecution and will try to get the charges dropped. The case is unfolding in Ingham County District Court”

There must be a deep state in Ingram County Michigan too, lol.

“The total value of the undisclosed trips on which they’ve taken Thomas since 1991 is tough to measure but probably in the millions of dollars, according to ProPublica”

And the morons here can’t stop talking about Hunter, who is not elected and has no public office to serve.

“The state of Florida has encouraged schools to teach the course without objectionable material about sexual orientation and gender identity. But the College Board, which runs AP, says these topics are central to the study of psychology and cannot simply be excised. Last week, the College Board said the course was “effectively banned” and advised districts not to offer it.“

Now apparently high school students are too tender to learn about gay people.

Florida and it’s glorious wack job Governor are a disgrace .

And the morons continue to watch FOX News

“Trump had no credible path to the presidency. He was hoping that his vice president or Republican legislators would simply cheat on his behalf.“ - when he sent slates of alternate electors for loses that ranged from  10,000 to 150,000 votes.

The brilliant businessman pissed away trillions of taxpayer money (which he isn’t one of) in just 4 years.

A Covid loan to Yellow trucking is likely lost and the government’s 30% stake in the bankrupt company is worthless.

If there’s one thing Trump understands, it’s bankruptcy 

“In 2020, career employees at the Defense Department decided that they should not certify that Kansas-based Yellow Corp. was critical to maintaining national security, which would mean the company could not qualify for a loan program created by Congress earlier in the pandemic, the investigation found. They communicated that decision to the Treasury Department on June 24, 2020, according to emails quoted in the report.
 But the Trump appointees ignored that decision after a newly revealed phone call between Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper on June 26, 2020”

In the military, this is known as careerism - putting one’s career ahead of the welfare of the troops. 

Although he had a story to tell, Pence

“…did not go to the FBI or the public to reveal in real time when defeated former president Donald Trump was allegedly attempting a coup. He refused to cooperate with the House Jan. 6 select committee”

Pence has revealed his private conversations with Trump to Jack Smith

Is it an indication of a lack of intelligence? Of socioeconomic status?

Has anyone else noticed the association between being a Trump supporter and these two common traits?

But you would never hear that from the MAGA morons.

“Federal law prohibits using one’s public position for personal gain. I can’t prove Kushner used his position to procure funding for Affinity Partners, but to believe otherwise would be ingenuous”

“…it is also increasingly clear that Kushner was simultaneously securing his own financial future via massive investments in his pop-up private equity firm, Affinity Partners, by many of the very same countries that signed the accords. Quelle coincidence.


Kushner’s biggest financial backer, however, was Saudi Arabia“

Climate change 

Obama’s birth

The 2020 Election 

Benghazi 

The IRS BOLO lists

Hillary’s emails

Selling Uranium to the Russians

Republicans lie to survive. The rely on their ignorant constituents to believe them.

And now, the 1/6 charges against Trump argues that the conspirators worked to create another illusion of uncertainty. 

“A grand jury indicted former president Donald Trump on Tuesday for a raft of alleged crimes in his brazen efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election — the latest legal and political aftershock stemming from the riot at the U.S. Capitol two and a half years ago.“

“Despite having lost, the Defendant was determined to remain in power,” the indictment charges, saying Trump unleashed a blizzard of lies about purported mass voter fraud, and then tried to get state, local, and federal officials to act to change the vote results”

“One such ad caught the attention of Terry White, a disabled retiree from New York. In 2018, White invested $174,000 in the coins, according to a lawsuit by the New York attorney general — only to later learn that Lear charged a 33 percent commission.
Over several transactions, White, 70, lost nearly $80,000, putting an “enormous strain” on his finances, said his wife, Jeanne, who blames Fox for their predicament: “They’re negligent,” she said. A regretful White said he thought Fox “wouldn’t take a commercial like that unless it was legitimate.”
