Am I making an understatement when I say that DeSantis just delivered the most conservative set of new laws in living memory? Srs question, why isn't any other governor in America doing half as much of this stuff as him?
This is my biggest problem with the latest iteration of MAGA. It stopped being about actually making America great and became about following one man into the abyss. It’s become the very definition of a cult.
Your IQ isn't high enough to handle Mandarin. You can barely comprehend the 26 letters of the English alphabet and now you're going to learn, in prison, a language where inflection and tone of voice changes the word?
Hey, this was my jumping on point for activism! McDaniel was trying to oust an overtly corrupt backbencher who's main draw was porkbarrel spending. Worse, he actually won the primary on first ballot! And did it while building up party registration. Then McConnell crushed him.
Mississippi is another great example. Chris McDaniel was MAGA before MAGA existed. After stunning the world and edging out Thad Cochran, and institution in the state, in the first round in 2014, the GOP stole the runoff from him. Few in conservative media supported him. He ran
Because you're not in violation of the presidential records act, you're in violation of court orders and this is what Trumpers just flat out don't understand. Hiding documents from a subpoena is a crime, that they're classified is happenstance.

She gave a transnational pornographer and pimp 3 hours to lie to her audience, and then ran ads for a prayer app and a Christian school in between it. She is actively making fun of Christians.
You do realize that this makes Chris Sununu smart, right? Like he's not wasting his time or money on a no hope presidential bid and instead activating party machinery to defeat *you*, right?
@thefactualprep
The joke is on him if he gets the nomination because Biden can just look at the polls showing him crushing Trump and point to Trump's legal issues and say "I'm not having a debate with you, you're not worth it."

The words "best friends with" are doing a lot of stretching there. They were sighted at a Manhattan like, one time, which if you know how small Manhattan actually is is not that surprising.
Are you just now finding out that Jackson Hinkle is a scum sucking mud monkey? Because that became obvious to anyone with eyes when he ferociously denied Russian war crimes in Bucha, Izium and beyond.
Because we can't have the legislature legislate. That'd be bad for democracy.
How does someone who reads as much history as Mr. Beat keep ending up on the wrong side of history? Is he only ready the Communist books universities push?
Unfortunately we only ever hear about the shootings that actually happen and not the ones that were prevented by vigilant citizens. See something, say something.
Tell people arguing that NATO made Russia invade Ukraine (in 2014) by moving eastward that Saddam Husseign made the US invade Iraq by refusing to allow in weapons inspectors while funding terrorism and watch them turn into that guy in Kiss of the Dragon.
Yeah screw that country that provides our intel (more than all NATO countries combined), most of our high tech weapons, cybersecurity, missile defense and UAVs as well as being responsible for most of our economic ties in the region.

Shapiro has written entire books on the cultural rot in society. Owens is still trying to figure out if we landed on the moon yet.

Gnosticism. This rabbithole run deep, but there it is. This is the same spirit that leads to religious fanatics hurling themselves at enemy combatants knowing they'll be slain.
Great post here explaining Trump's return to Twitter. Trump's plan to take Truth Social public through a merger appears likely to fail, and Truth Social is costing him over $10 million per year. So with his own venture going belly-up, he's got no choice but to come back here.
@RobertLutherFL
Its a moot point anyways since DeSantis immediately began terraforming the state with a robust campaign of vigorous registration and outreach; something most state GOPs wouldn't know how to do even if they did get that exclamation point to pop up over their heads.

You mean the roaring economy that didn't stop growing until 2008 save got a hiccup in 1992 when the dot com bubble burst? Is that horrible economy the reason every house in America stocked up on brand new electronics like VCRs and PCs?

Its literally not true, the president can declare insurrection and suspend habeaus corpus and send in troops during domestic emergencies; and if those riots areny an emergency, nothing is.
@bonchieredstate
The book Suicide of the West by James Burnham uses this exact issue (Jewish bulshevism) to deconstruct the nature of fanaticism. There is literally nothing you can do to move someone off this hill. They flat out don't care that the Bulsheviks were atheists.
I actually think a Josh Shapiro nomination will split the party in half as millions of African-Americans, Muslims and college students/graduates dessert the party, refusing to vote for a Jew.
I hate to break it to all the Democrats huffing hopium that Josh Shapiro will save them in 2028, but the party that nearly nominated Bernie Sanders and has moved dramatically further left isn’t going to abide a “moderate” who checks zero intersectional boxes.
This whole “Jesus was a Palestinian” stuff has got to stop. If you’re a Christian saying this, then you need to go back and read the Old Testament. See the lineage of your Lord.

I will give her no such credit. There appears to be a misunderstanding of what the word "engagement" is. Restriction is not engagement, they're contradictory terms.
@AutonomousAllie
People also forget that Bush tried to reform Social Security and Medicaid (and even got Part D passed) to stave off the economic time bomb that that's going to end up being. Had he succeeded; he'd have actually shrank the budget.
Than put books in your backpack instead of bombs like literally every single other girl in every other country on the planet besides the pisshole you live in called Gaza.

I am stunned that they're re-running the 1968 playbook of pushing the party to the left with nonstop wall-to-wall university riots, seemingly having forgotten that they got Nixon elected.
I love how Ron just shoved the metaphorical prison shank in her and broke it off the handle. It took all of two days to tag, bag and drag this political body.
We often forget this; but Karl Marx played into incredibly antisemitic tropes about the Jews (the Burgeusse are Jews) controlling banks and newspapers. This lives on today with radicals on both sides crying about Wall Street, the 1% and the media starting wars.
Tucker calls Zelensky rat-like - an anti-semitic trope dating back to Russians and the Nazis.
Zelensky persecutes Christians? As opposed to Vladimir Putin, who's Yarovaya laws bans missionary protestants, Mormons and evangelicals from operating in Russia:

Good to know, I need to hire someone to sit in my grounded car while I'm at work so no one thinks it's abandoned and tows it. Maybe I can get something good out of Vivek afterall.
I don't want to sound overly dismissive but what does it tell you that news that Bahkmut has finally fallen was blown out of the cycle by news that Ukraine is getting F16s? In three years?
If you're not following the war daily like me; you dont know that Bahkmut was supposed to fall last December. We are trying to figure out what took the Russians so long. Literally no one in Ukraine cares that the city fell; Russia is no closer to victory than they were a year ago
We laugh but she is right. DeSantis will not be so cartoonishly outsmarted at every turn, won't cost the party elections, doesn't have a twitter feed that distracts from real issues and is actually effective at reforming. He is FAR more "dangerous" than Trump.
The only reason McCain was the nominee in 08 was because Bush didn't chose a young visionary politician to be his VP, nor was one prominent in Congress or his admin when he was on his way out.
McCain was never where the heart of the party was; only unusual circumstances made him the nominee. Romney was never anywhere in particular at all, but a shape-shifter who tried to be different things in different times & places.
@Floridagirl0850
The ouster of McCarthy likely killed any chance of impeaching Biden before 2024. The timing was atrocious; the long smouldering Hunter Biden scandal was finally starting to catch fire.
Most Americans are ignorant about Islam's bizarre hatred of dogs and how casual animal abuse towards them is in their countries. It all has to do with Muhammad, a schizophrenic, being unable to have visions whenever a dog was present.
@RightWingDad
I am stunned at how she went from just reflexively anti-Israel to full blown antimsemite and, somehow then went full MAGA. Like, how the heck did that happen?
Minus, of course, the massacres, pograms, forced conversions, beheadings, kidnapping of girls into harems, destruction of churches and dhimmitude of non-Muslims that continued unabashed until 1918 or whenever Britain took over.
Unfortunately I work Tuesdays in an aggravating 1-10 PM shift so I'll likely not be voting for anyone this year; and that's assuming I don't join the Army.
@AGHamilton29
One of the biggest Trump myths of them all was that "He doesn't care what the media thinks of him." In reality; Trump was capital O Obscessed with the news media's coverage of him.
All of the coverage I'm seeing from Conservatives (most of whom zonked out of the war last March) is ignorant of the fact that Russia has taken over 200,000 casualties in the last year and there is *NOTHING* in between Rostov and Moscow. What's left of their army is in Ukraine.

How is DeSantis a dictator? His whole entire mandate is making Florida the freest state in the union. If you want to see a dictator, look at Michigan, where the governor banned gardening and boating because of Covid.
This is a huge reason I hate Democrats as a class. Whenever a Democrat holds a governorship or the white house, executions grind to a screeching halt and move like traffic in the Bronx for four straight uninterrupted years. It's pathetic and depressing and a rabbit hole.

NATO expansion was a threat to Russian influence, not Russian security. Countries chose to opt into NATO. Ukraine, being a sovereign country, reserves that right.
Literally all of those were stolen from India and Europe only thinks they're Muslim because that is what the guys on the boat who sold it to them bowed to Mecca. Muslim inventions star maps, coffee and literally nothing else.
In the medieval period alone, Muslims invented geared mills, windmills, algebra, ammonium chloride synthesis, control valves, cryptanalysis, the kerosene lamp, double-entry bookkeeping, the magnifying glass, hyperbolic geometry, the syringe, the scientific method, and more!

Gnosticism (not to be confused with Agnosticism) is a rabbit hole you can get lost in for days and once seen, can't be unseen. Whenever you see a religious-like fanatical zeal for something that's not "a religion", you're seeing Gnosticism.
One of the blessings of being a cartoon is that you can go over the top with scummy characters. The live-action movie, by design, humanized Gaston and even made him a war vet. It was a huge miscalculation.
Conservatives are so zonked out that they keep pointing to evidence of Russia's failure as proof that they can't be defeated. "Ukraine will kill a hundred Russians and the next week there's another hundred." Yeah, because the Russians are getting slaughtered. It's called winning
A year and a half ago, Russia undertook a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since that time, Ukraine has taken back more than half of the territory then lost. If we don't let them down, the Ukrainians will win this war, and bring us a more secure world.
Dear Maga,
Do us all a favor. And I mean this sincerely.
When Trump loses again in November, stay away from DC.
I know catturd and Loomer will urge you to march to DC again.
Please dont.
It accomplished nothing last time.
Hmm’kay? Thanks…
