That's true of so many things that have become the GOP platform. Basic facts, like evolution and vaccines, have no business being political issues, either. Verifiable truths, like the complete lack of election shenanigans (except for the free examples which almost all happen to be the GOP stuffing ballot boxes), should be reported as such, too.

But here we are, as we have always been...

Also, the coming climate catastrophe. It's a basic fucking fact. Now, what we do about it, I'll grant, is political in that it involves policies. Denying that the atmosphere is heating up at this point is just stupidly putting your head in the sand.

Hasn’t that been happening since the 80’s? Since the “Reagan revolution” and the AIDS crisis?

Not at the scale that its currently happening. After the 2018 primary beatdown, where suburban soccer moms abandoned the GQP, they redoubled the efforts to create crises at local meetings (city, county, school board, PTAs, churches).

The company’s 8-K filing is just bananas. They not only aren’t turning a profit, they don’t foresee ever making one. They don’t track any sort of metrics typical for a social media company — signups, monthly active users, average revenue per user — none of it. And they don’t plan to, either. To call it a scam gives scams a bad name.

I want to laugh, but: If Trump is elected again in November — which, based on the close results of 2016 and 2020, and the current polling data, is definitely possible — shaking down lobbyists and foreign governments with exorbitant rates for ads on Truth Social seems like a much better grift than running a hotel across the street from the White House. A corrupt president owning a social media site would be a grift that scales. If there’s any rational reason for Trump Media to have any value at all, it’s that. It’s worthless today, but could be a veritable goldmine in a second Trump administration.

We should offer DJT a sweet Pablo Escobar prison deal.  He "surrenders" to authorities for a prison term, but he gets to design the prison with all the amenities he wants at the government's expense.  Provide him with an Aggy engineer to formalize his plans.

This will ensure that he dies when the prison inevitably collapses on top of him.

Did any of those guys have the courage to walk out of there after that?  No, that speaks to their character.

Was just about to post this same thing. I watched it 3x to closely watch the guys behind him. Not one of them even flinches.

"We" as in Trump and his ilk.  Good.  But the United States will continue to have elections without Trump.

They want the votes of the real people, not the liquor store elites

Question about the cops in uniform on stage with Trump at a campaign speech: Why is it acceptable for them to appear in uniform at a political event, obviously in support of a candidate, when the military can't?

I'm not saying they or any other public servant can't support or endorse a candidate. I am saying it's entirely inappropriate to be wearing official garb representing the people of a particular place when a bunch of those people from that place don't want your stupid NIL associated with them.

"Gee whiz, guys, I just don't think it's fair to compare Trump to Hitler."

Hitler kept the trains going, Trump kept the grift going. Same, really.

The pathetic man is actually falling upward, no?

The inability or unwillingness to plainly call Trump what he is typifies our national problem. He’s a poisonous snake, a toxic cloud bringing out the worst in America. Pathetic sure, but would you merely call Hitler pathetic? It’s a weak cop out. Trump needs to be ground into a fine powder by the heel of a boot. Fuck pathetic.

The Hatch Act covers federal, state and local employees (if their employers receive federal funds) but not elected officials. A partisan elected sheriff or elected law enforcement official has a specific a carve-out to appear in uniform at political events. Presumably local governments could pass regulations against it but that’s the federal law.

There are of course no elected uniform service members.
