    is this where we say "typical violent cultish mushbrain conservatives"? @Out of My Mind and Time ?
    Why the fuck is this posted in the GOP thread? This is another prime example of how sick AMT is jumping to conclusions when you have no proof that this has anything to do with the GOP or conservatives.

    Funny how you want to talk about "typical violent" when your profile picture is endorsing gun culture and violence. 
    the irony is obviously lost on you. this was me making fun of how mushbrain conservatives go all in on "so much for the tolerant left" every single time there's violence that even SMELLS like it was done by a liberal. 

    whenever someone starts a question with "is this where we...?" it's to point out the hypocrisy of those that usually jump to these types of conclusions and paint millions of people with one brush based on very little information. 

    understand now?

    I heard another analyst say that Desantis should NOT attack tRump personally. That would anger the die hard magats....I totally disagree with that.

  • she's right. you aren't going to turn trumpers into desantisians. they are trumpers because they believe the things that disgust us are his best qualities.

    focus on the normal R's and indies, his record, and policy. that's how he wins. 

    I hope he doesn't though. I think when it comes down to it, Biden beats Trump, but loses to Desantis. More independents are likely to vote R without Trump next to it.

    It’s impressive some in the media still maintain their denial about Trump. The dysfunctional behavior is central to his appeal. Acting like a semi functional adult won’t get any of the other candidates anywhere.

    George Santos expulsion coming before House as Democrats force vote
    By KEVIN FREKING
    22 mins ago

    WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats took steps Tuesday to force a vote on expelling New York Rep. George Santos from Congress, an effort that is expected to be defeated but puts Republicans in the uncomfortable position of taking a stand on an indicted colleague.

    The freshman GOP congressman has been charged with embezzling money from his campaign, falsely receiving unemployment funds and lying to Congress about his finances. He has denied the charges and has pleaded not guilty.

    Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., introduced a resolution in February to expel Santos, something the House has only done twice in recent decades and requires the approval of a two-thirds majority. He brought the measure Tuesday to the House floor under a process that gives lawmakers until Thursday to dispense with it.

    Republicans could vote to table the effort. They could also refer it to the House Ethics Committee for consideration, which House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., indicated was his preferred route. Both efforts require a majority vote. Republicans could also just allow the House to vote on Garcia's expulsion resolution, but that is unlikely.

    “I wanted him to resign. We gave him plenty of time to do it," Garcia said of his decision to bring the measure up this week. “His other Republican freshmen also want him to resign and it's time for him to go."

    Santos, despite the federal charges he's facing, is moving forward with his plans to seek reelection and has defied calls for his resignation. “This is the beginning of the ability for me to address and defend myself,” Santos told reporters following his indictment. His office didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Garcia's resolution.

    Republican leaders have said Santos deserves to have his day in court before Congress weighs in. The position Republican leaders have staked out generally follows the precedent that Congress has set in similar criminal cases over the years. The House has expelled just two members in recent decades, and both votes occurred after the lawmaker had been convicted on federal charges.

    McCarthy said he would reach out to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., about referring the resolution to the Ethics Committee, which already has initiated an investigation into whether Santos engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his congressional campaign.

    “I think we can look at it very quickly and come to a conclusion on what George Santos did and did not do,” McCarthy told reporters.

    Democrats are looking to tie Santos to the Republican brand, particularly in key swing districts, and began messaging the effort to expel him as giving New Yorkers the “honest representation they deserve.”

    "Now is the time for members of Congress to demonstrate where they stand and expel George Santos from Congress," said Rep. Suzan DelBene, chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

    Honestly, I do the opposite.  The flag is just as much mine as theirs.  I would highly encourage you not to give up the flag mentally.  I think that's a huge mistake for those of us that are left of center.  Even the golf balls I play have the flag on them specifically for that reason.  Fuck them for trying to take away the symbol of liberal democracy.

    agreed....we fly flags off of our office porch. It is true though that the trumpsters are generally the ones that comment about them. Like they know we are one of them or something.  Really weird.

  • I've never been a flag flyer, so it really doesn't affect me much. But I do have one band t shirt, from I Mother Earth, where their logo is used in place of the maple leaf on a Canadian flag. I notice I get a lot of looks when I'm wearing it, like they think I'm some trucker convoy weirdo.

    From last night's Letter from an American, by HCR: 

    "From the earliest days of the Reagan Revolution, those leaders who wanted to slash the federal government to end business regulation and cut the social safety net recognized that they did not have the votes to put their program in place. To find those votes, they courted racists and traditionalists who hated the federal government’s protection of civil rights. Over time, that base became more and more powerful until Trump openly embraced it in August 2017, when he said there were “very fine people on both sides.”

    As he moved toward the techniques of authoritarians, his followers began to champion the system that Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán called “illiberal democracy” or “Christian democracy” in his own country. Orbán argued that the principle of equality in liberal democracy undermines countries by attacking the national culture. Instead, he called for an end to multiculturalism—including immigration—and any lifestyle that is not based on the “Christian family model.” He seized control of universities to make them preach his values.

    Today’s Republican leaders openly admire Orbán and appear to see themselves as the vanguard of a “post-liberal order.” They believe that the central tenets of democracy—free speech, religious liberty, academic freedom, equality before the law, and the ability of corporations to make decisions based on markets rather than religious values—have destroyed national virtue. Such a loss must be combated by a strong government that enforces religious values.":
