@black_intellect No, no. We absolutely can't allow what the people want.
It's not a political party, it's a religion.
Wut.
"The Capitol Visitor’s Center has reported Rep. Rich McCormick to the House sergeant at arms accusing him of “unsafe actions” while on a tour of the Capitol’s dome & doing pull-ups on railings suspended 100s of ft above the ground.
The #Georgia #Republican went beyond a posted sign reading “no person permitted above this platform under any circumstances,”&went over a safety railing at the “Tholos level” of the Capitol dome, more than 200 feet in the air." https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/01/31/congress/republican-reported-for-unsafe-actions-00138833

Trump pressured prosecutor to 'blow up' Hunter Biden's gun plea deal: court filing - Raw Story
Consider the problem: You are far right but you know that your faction does not have a numerical majority.
Solution: Suppress the left. Besides the usual voter suppression technique, you need to convince the left NOT to vote for any candidate who can win.
Conclusion: Anyone trying to get you not to vote for Biden is working for Trump, whether they understand it or not.
Only a vote for Biden stops Trump.
@lovelylovely Yeah, they busted him for talking with Democrats, I believe.
@Free_Press And if Ukraine wins, same deal is okay then, right? Russia could use a little purging, starting about 400 years ago.
@grumpasaurus @josephinelee Exactly. The GOP just isn't saying it out loud, yet. Nor is this anything new in GOP circles.
@binaryphile Exactly.
In other words, everyone in jail or prison for a victimless crime should be set free. Yes? That's what they're saying.
What they are not mentioning is that in such cases of victimless crimes, the tacit assumption is that the State is the victim. The State is the victim in Trump's frauds because the law was violated. The fact that Deutche Bank isn't complaining is irrelevant.
