If you look at the approval numbers for Nixon even as he jumped on that helicopter just before getting impeached, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed. I expect there is some bedrock number in this country that will ALWAYS support a Republican, no matter what he’s caught doing.

The Republicans were fucking outraged about Nixon - not that he broke the law, but that he was caught and that the media spoke about it. So they vowed to create the system we have now…in the interim, a whole lot of people in the “liberal media” took the hint during Iran/Contra which made Whitewater pale in comparison.

The 42 percent are people who had their brains broken by things like Faux.

No survivors means no witnesses to counter the bullshit narratives from these Orwellian jackasses.

I guess this is one of the Republicans that thinks their own base will firebomb their house with their family in it.

Because they’ve been grooming terrorism among their base for so very long…

Don’t they already have several such sites? Like most of social media, Breitbart, Faux, OAN, and on and on?

The so-called “party” of the GOP is going to need a witness protection program for their own politicians.

So they ALL know that their own base are terrorists.

They are always acting like the real terrorists are things like BLM or anti fascists. But they always end up telling on themselves.

I’m not so sure that critical thinking is getting any better. And I seriously wonder what AI slop will do to the brains of those that already have terrible critical thinking skills and zero media literacy.

I’ve been watching the adherence to xtianity generally trending down about 1% per year for quite a while, though, so that’s promising.

Oh for fucks sake.

These people whining about how oppressed they are for being xtians are just so very insufferable. Just because they ran into someone that doesn’t put their precious chosen lifestyle on a pedestal and clap for name-dropping their little book club… 🙄

There was a dumbass (regular commenter on Denver Post) that kept insisting, year after year, that “The Storm” was coming. First, it was the fall of 2017, IIRC. When myself and others would point out that it’s now 2018, and 2017 came and went, he’d insist it was any day now. We’d chide him and ask for more details on just who was getting arrested, and for what, and he made these claims on what evidence…he’d get rather cagey about it all.

But he’d be back, insisting it was coming any day now. We’d ask him to commit to a new date. He’d give one, like “November 2018”. This would of course come and go and no “Storm” to be seen. Hillary, Podesta and Obama all walking around quite free. This continued until the fall of 2020, and then I think he insisted that “The Storm” would happen before Donald leaves office.

He of course insisted that Donvict “really won” and he might not be leaving office in 2021. Well, most people could see that the annoying orange would rather not leave office and plotting a coup was not beyond him…

Anyway, I’m pretty sure this guy carried on with his belief in “The Storm” being just around the corner until 2024, when, not long before the election, the Denver Post shut down their comments. I’m sure he’s still neck deep in this kind of nonsense, thinking Q is still a thing…for these morons, “The Storm” is just like the way end times prophecy cults go on about their eschatology…

I doubt very few normal Americans will be the least bit sad if Donvict were to kick the bucket while in office.

The only thing that will be absolutely obnoxious in the wake of his passing would be all the moral scolds in the “center” lecturing anyone celebrating. Same with all the “independents”.

And don’t get me started on all the far right wing assholes that will try do the same thing they did to anyone that said anything they didn’t like in relation to the shitstain Charlie Kirk. Even if many people know how vengeful these thin-skinned assholes all are, I bet spontaneous celebration breaks out…

Even so, Donvict will likely get the Ronnie Raygun treatment from at least parts of the “liberal media” if he were to pass away while in the WH.

He has all the energy of every omnivore that eats meat performatively once they learn they are in the presence of a vegetarian.

Little baby donnie is still mad at Tim Walz for calling the Republicans weird, isn’t he?

Turkey vs. chicken? Kinda mid, really.

My family is vegetarian, so we definitely know about what “expectations” are when it comes to something like Thanksgiving, LOL.

When it comes to “JD” “Vance”'s observation about turkey vs. chicken (turkey is dry AF and most people tend not to really go for it all that often?), I guess I’ve heard wags saying that nearly all my life, so kudos for his bravery on that.

I’d be more impressed if I were to see a prominent Republican go vegan or vegetarian and do it openly. I suspect most of them are so locked up in their delusional protein and/or masculinity myths that they’d never do it. They are too afraid of what other men might think of them, or what their base would think of them.

I cannot imagine that being seen as the weird puppet of the even weirder puppetmaster Thiel is doing him any favors, either.

I mean, Thiel and his weird associations - the freaks writing The Sovereign Individual, Curtis Yarvin, and Elon himself…blech. I think about the only people getting excited about any of those freaks and their ideas for how WE should live OUR fucking lives would be either the most idiotic of incel morons and centimillionaires and billionaires.

The Democratic Party needs to bring back calling these people weird again. I mean, all the time, too. Orchestrated. Like they started to do for like a minute before someone clearly had them dial it back.

Because these people are fucking weird. Sure, the right tries to constantly cast anyone to the left of Rush Limbaugh as some blue-haired trans person with face piercings and by that coding, way outside the mainstream. But anyone that is a billionaire is by definition someone that is wildly out of step with the everyday person. People like Mikey Johnson that have some weird porn pact with their son are deeply weird. People that follow the likes of Curtis Yarvin telling the elites that we need to get over things like democracy are extremely weird freaks, and people should point and laugh at this kind of thing.

But definitely point it out all the time…don’t pretend any of this shit is the least bit respectable.

I so very much want to see Bondi and Noem thrown into the slammer.

I mean, Keystone Kash, Stephen Miller, RFK, jr, and Bannon, too, but this week I really want to see these two in prison for a nice long stretch.

I realize if the Democrats run on throwing all these pieces of trash into prison they’ll be cast by the pearl-clutching “center” and “independents” as being just like the GOP, but for fuck’s sake, if they get power back and don’t go after these pieces of trash and throw the motherfucking book at them, we’ll just get even more of this the next time around.

A message has to be sent.

Remember: BURN THE LIFEBOATS

No lifeboats for these motherfuckers. Don’t let them burn their Nazi, er, “maga” uniforms.

Where is dumbass fElon with that Doge chainsaw?

Yeah. That’s one reason my parents would not let me join up even with Cub Scouts. They definitely did not want their kids in the military.

Is Keystone Kash going to stand out in front of the Capitol and vow to track down these Democrats?
