Any Republican with the capability to be embarrassed has left the party. Anyone remaining is complicit.
The post-Reagan GOP has only ever been about more government, more police, more fascism. She’s fallen for the classic blunder of assuming that fascists ever argue in good faith. They don’t give a shit that they talk about being the party of small government and yet can’t wait to use techno-feudalism to make sure that gay people aren’t secretly having sex. They’re not arguing for small government in good faith and never have done.
This is the bastard child of capitalists and fascists. They both need each other and both think they are in charge of the other.
The real truth time and time again for 10k years is labor has the power.
I think that crap resonates with people because they think smaller government = lower taxes. If there’s one thing conservatives love to obsess about more than other people’s genitals it’s money. Even if they’re poor and pay a negative tax rate.
Yeah! We usually puppet the dictators! This is all wrong!
If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset
Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.
My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.
I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.
Yeah, that was when the myth of the “liberal” media should have been permanently put down, along with the GOP, but nah, the MSM dutifully “both sides” it and so many (most?) veterans had zero problem with it. That was when the (D) party should have had its real ‘Houston, we have a problem’ moment, and started fighting the metastasizing problem of right-wing/fascist propaganda that gets merely parroted by the rest of the MSM, but alas, they did fuck-all while it just got worse and worse and worse.
But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn’t lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.
Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn’t Bernie also from there?
Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.
Democrat stronghold. No worries about Republicans picking up seats.
That woman needs to stay the hell away from open windows.
And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump’s multi-billionaire buddy.
I mean, that’s all we know in the open. I seriously doubt there weren’t background threats and bribes.
There’s always organic threats too from the
brownshirtredhat thugsThere are always background threats. It is politics after all.
The True President.
Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)
“waa waa trump is a russian puppet”
Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.
I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.
You haven’t thought this out, have you? Unless you are happy that the US President is taking Putin’s orders, eventually abandons NATO and lets Russia invade the Baltic nations? Is that what you mean by WAA WAA KARMA IS A BITCH?
…Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, before being betrayed by the US of course.
The bare minimum, that’s all people want. Show a fucking backbone and rage!!!
I dunno, as a non-empty subset of “people”, I want more than rage. I want action. Spare me your tears, spare me your anguish, spare me your irascible outcry. Arrest the people breaking federal laws every single day, and if no action is taken by those who have abdicated their duty, ensure they abdicate their posts, through main force if necessary.
Showing life would be a start. Instead we get this…
TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.
This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.
That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.
Yeah, I’m wondering what the hell is going on in Vermont, and can you guys ship it to the rest of the country?
Democratic stronghold. No need to moderate for Republican voters because they’re irrelevant.
Yeah, but they still have better reps than most other democratic strongholds.
Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?
It’s literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.
That’s find but I mean why does it pop up in the news after it is too late? I certainly noticed a LOT more press and comments about it in recent weeks. It is really fucking weird and infuriating.
They’ve literally been saying this shit for 10 years, it just doesn’t make it into the algorithms during election season.
Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.
Becca is 100% correct.
Thank You Representative Balint!!
She got it backwards, they side with Trump because Russia said so.
