  1. Let's not forget all the Republicans and others who have not only enabled Trump's attempts to subvert the rule of law, but have cheered him on or turned a blind eye to his excesses. They are traitors all alike.

  2. Trump wasn't too far out of character today, lying and blaming other people for his own mistakes.

  3. Can't improve on what actual conservatives have said about Trumpty Dumpty: “This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He lies practically every word that comes out of his mouth, and in a pattern that I think is straight out of a psychology text book, his response is to accuse everybody else of lying. The man cannot tell the truth, but he combines it with being a narcissist - a narcissist at a level I don’t think this country’s ever seen." -- Ted Cruz May 3 2016.

  4. Seems like conservatives have not fully thought out the ramifications of allowing anyone's vote to be overruled just because some politician got offended over the results. From the beyond, comrade Stalin salutes what these conservatives are trying to do.

  5. A corrupt president can't take it down himself. For that he needs a willing accomplice as the senate leader (Moscow Mitch) to block the previous president's judicial nominees in order to have a lot of vacancies to fill and thus stack the courts. Fun fact: before he was Hitler's #1 Nazi employee, Hermann Göring served as president of the German Senate (the Reischtag) and used that position to advance Hitler's illegal measures to gain power. Just like Moscow Mitch is doing now.

  6. Republicans at the roadside: "Officer, that radar speeding ticket you're trying to give me is invalid because you're not of the same political party as me. That just proves your bias. So I'm going to rip it up and drive away." Republicans in court later: "Since the judge didn't personally witness this alleged speeding incident, he's not qualified to make that judgement." Republicans after losing in court: "Nobody got hurt by the speeding car so the laws don't apply!"

  7. Save the hospital beds for the vaccinated. If any of the unvaccinated show up with respiratory problems, put them in a cot next to some plants. Plants make oxygen, right? Oh and some thoughts and prayers.

  8. Bingo. "Everything that Trump is trying to take apart is all the stuff our ancestors put together to prevent WW3." Spot on.

  9. Afghanistan has been the elephants' graveyard of imperial overreach for a very long time. The only way to win that game is not to play it.

  10. Thankfully, conservatives aren't destroying law and order, but covid-19 is flattening conservatives. The delicious irony. The same disease that Trump lied about, then encouraged people to go against safety protocols for, is precisely what's turning red places purple and purple places blue. Everything Trump touches dies. Big thanks to Marsha Coats for her endorsement of Trump back in 2016, haha :(

  11. To be fair to Donny, Hitler didn't like anti-fascists either. Perfectly normal for someone like either of those two to feel that way.

  12. Fix title: ".. that no ONE is discussing"
    27
  13. Investigators: We require witnesses & evidence. Trump: I'm telling everyone involved to NOT cooperate with the investigation. Republicans: You heard the man. * months go by * Republicans: Those Democrats didn't even do a proper investigation! No real witnesses or evidence!

  14. Trump didn't have any trouble finding a helicopter pilot who would hover dangerously low over journalists and citizens in DC .. and Trump didn't have any trouble finding a federal trooper who would shoot a nonviolent protester in the head. It was pretty much the same way with Hitler too. He had no shortage of Nazi goons for his dirty deeds. The governor was wasely telling people not to take the bait .. although TBH I wish someone would nonviolently ziptie the goons together and put them on a bus back to wherever they came from.

  15. The Heritage Foundation is very pleased. They don't think women should vote anyway.

  16. "Trump hosted a super-spreader event to honor a justice who would have the government control your body but refuse the duty to care for it, and when the virus he helped go around came around, he availed of the healthcare he would deny others, financed by the taxes he refuses to pay." -Anand Giridharadas.

  17. Hitler's Brownshirts were similarly crude and interested in creating terror in the minds of their victims. This is a common tactic of regimes that have lost their mandate but don't want to relinquish power. VOTE TRUMP AND HIS ENABLERS ALL OUT IN NOVEMBER.

  18. Not since the popular revolution of 1979 has Iran been so united from top to bottom. All thanks to you-know-who's "great and unmatched wisdom".

  19. Honestly, with all the reich-wing vehicle attacks that happened in the US after James Alex Fields showed the way at Charlottesville, I was honestly afraid that they were going to ram polling places. That's our future, domestic terrorism that's supported by the one party that needs it to cling to power.

  20.  @GeraltBosMang  Nah. Their neighbors can find some way to thank them for being willing handmaidens to fascism in America. No central authority needed.

  21. The Republicans have shown how they're going to play this. Their Plan A is to do everything possible to prevent the house from impeaching Trump. That's not going to work. The Republicans will of course exonerate Trump in the senate, but the remainder of their Plan B must be to seat TWO more supreme court justices, over the next 11 months, in order to pull off the argument that the 2020 election results (in which the Republicans will lose badly) can be disregarded because of the bias from Trump's impeachment - which the Republicans will declare illegal. Any takers?

  22. Oh look, someone from the "park your head in the sand and pretend the problem doesn't exist" party.

  23. Mr Limbaugh promised to move to Costa Rica if Obamacare became the law of the land, but then he broke that promise and stayed - which is kind of ironic, since Costa Rica provides universal healthcare to its citizens & residents, so possibly they would have picked up on his condition in time to treat it more effectively. Hope Mr Limbaugh isn't too discomfited by the pain to realize that cancer is merely doing to him what he did to America.

  24. The main difference between Jim Jones and Trump is that Trump charges for the tainted kool-aid, whereas Jim Jones handed it out for free.

  25. Pre-rigging the EC is a travesty that needs to be nipped in the bud yesterday. Lose that struggle, and we'll all be playing Sophie Scholl in a few short years :(

  26.  @indiesindie1984  Go check the record of the impeachment vote and show us all the democrats who you claim enabled Trump. FFFS, did you get divorced from objective reality or something?

  27. More to the core - they are right-wing anti-government types. By no small coincidence this is the same type responsible for nearly all political violence in the USA.

  28. Having some kind of national healthcare here in the US would defeat a few of the aims of conservatives. They would prefer people to breed quickly, require little in the way of healthcare & education costs, work hard for low wages, then die quickly as soon as they get sick or retire. Then again, conservatives want to make the environment ideal for corporations and not for people.

  29. Considering the fact that even by 2018 nearly all extremist murders in the US were right-wing, I've been thinking that a cold civil war has already been happening for a while. When Trump trucks drove through Portland and tried to run over protesters (while spraying mace at them from inside the trucks, of course) they were almost entirely from out of the area, and about 60% from other states such as Idaho and Montana. They're a small violent minority.

  30. After watching Republicans switch from purely-partisan blocking of Obama's nominees to letting Trump do any "acting" appointments he wanted to; after seeing Republicans switch from saying that 8 months before an election is much too soon to seat a SCOTUS judge to helping Trump ram one through in under 8 weeks; after watching Republicans howl at the moon over Obama wearing a tan suit to helping Trump undermine the results of the most secure election in US history; my trust of Republicans is thinner than cellophane. I'd say they're acting like Hitler's Nazi party did during its attempts to seize power, except it's not an act, sadly.

  31. Sending other folks' kids to die is the highest aspiration of a draft-dodger who's wormed into a position of power. DC is full of that type.

  32. The people who are comfy with Gosar's actions would probably be comfy with Trump suspending congress and calling off all future elections until such a time as the results can be guaranteed in his favor. He'd go full Ortega if he could :(

  33. To paraphrase Pericles .. just because you don't take an interest in covid doesn't mean covid doesn't take an interest in you. It has a thing for fresh warm bodies.

  34. No wonder Trump's so mad. He knew as far back as the summer of 2019 that he couldn't win a fair election against Biden - and we know it only because that's how far back he was shopping for an ally to help make up dirt against Biden. Then by mid-March he knew that millions of Americans would be voting by mail and that it would be unfavorable to him - and we know it only because that's when he began shopping for someone to sabotage the USPS from within. No doubt he's been chewing the carpets lately and regretting that he allowed the 2020 election to take place.

  35. Everything that Trump touches dies. Whatever agency he was allowed to appoint people to, their reputation is useless now because he used them like a cheap, disposable toilet seat cover to bolster his ego or whim at the moment. Whatever longstanding ally he was allowed to interact with, they now think a lot less of the USA now that they know our country is never more than one electoral-college whimsical decision away from appointing an even greater fool to the high office of president. The damage will last a generation or more, and everyone will long remember how the Republicans actively helped him all along the way.

  36. Remember back in January 2017 (just after inauguration) Trump spoke of "American carnage"? He essentially promised them blood and fire.

  39. When he was up on the dais, trying to pin conspiracy theories onto the testimony like an ill-fitting suit, we all thought he was just really familiar with the nutjob material on Infowars, 8chan, FOXed .. but then we find out that he helped author those same nutty conspiracy theories. And he did it on the taxpayer dime - !!!

  40. Look at how the Republicans spent years refusing to hear Obama's appointees, only so Trump could fill seats with party hacks later. Watching the people of America refuse to see this as a coup is like watching Neville Chamberlain try again and again to appease Adolph Hitler, thinking that someday he'll be satisfied with what he's taken by force. These Republicans won't be happy until we have a one-party state with them in charge of everything.

  41. Funny that the Republicans didn't feel impeachment was outmoded, back when they spent a whole month on the trial phase of president Bill Clinton's impeachment, with no limits on witnesses or evidence, or during the 13 or so times when they tried to bring up impeachment charges against president Barack Obama.

  42. Didn't their orange lord mention something about getting disinfectants inside the body?

  43. Sorry. You guys are like the nice people living on the 2nd floor over a biker bar with a meth problem :(

  44. .. and from the party of "law and order" and "family values" and the "compassionate conservatives".

  45. The scale of the pandemic in the US is ramping up far faster than the capacity to do testing. The wait times will grow so long that the tests will be useless. Instead we'll only know the extent of this through the numbers for covid deaths and covid hospitalizations .. when the sirens run all day long .. when refrigerated trailers full of bodies are spotted parked around the city. All of this because Trump felt that 6 months of lies was preferable to dealing with the crisis back in January when he was first warned about it.

  46. This is so awful. I am going to vote for Republican party candidates next. NOT!!

  47. Whether Trump wins or loses the election, we can count on him doing more of the same. He will propagandize and inflame his followers into committing more and worse atrocities. He will work to destroy America. He will try to dynamite any path back to normalcy from here.

  48. Fascists just wanna fash :(

  49. In modern Germany, no, but in the USA it's a whole nother story :(

  50. Funny how the rural Oregon hospitals are full of unvaccinated covid patients. Like Ben Franklin always said - "Experience keeps a mean school, but fools will learn in no other." Smart people learn from the mistakes of others, stupid people learn only by getting their faces mashed into the dog poo. On the plus side, we can buy their stuff cheap at estate auctions.
