    Any Republican with the capability to be embarrassed has left the party. Anyone remaining is complicit.

    The post-Reagan GOP has only ever been about more government, more police, more fascism. She’s fallen for the classic blunder of assuming that fascists ever argue in good faith. They don’t give a shit that they talk about being the party of small government and yet can’t wait to use techno-feudalism to make sure that gay people aren’t secretly having sex. They’re not arguing for small government in good faith and never have done.

      This is the bastard child of capitalists and fascists. They both need each other and both think they are in charge of the other.

      The real truth time and time again for 10k years is labor has the power.

    Lady, the states have always supported dictators that were friendly to them (often because they were installed BY the USA, like Fulgencion Batista, Manuel Noriega, Augusto Pinochet, to name a few)

    “waa waa trump is a russian puppet”

    Karma sure is a bitch, huh? Enjoy.

      You haven’t thought this out, have you? Unless you are happy that the US President is taking Putin’s orders, eventually abandons NATO and lets Russia invade the Baltic nations? Is that what you mean by WAA WAA KARMA IS A BITCH?

        My grandfather, who took a pistol off a dead Nazi doctor in the 14th Armored Division, quit the Republican Party when they had those Purple Heart Band Aids.

        I guess if you get one after waking up under the body of your dead friend you don’t get the joke.

          Yeah, that was when the myth of the “liberal” media should have been permanently put down, along with the GOP, but nah, the MSM dutifully “both sides” it and so many (most?) veterans had zero problem with it. That was when the (D) party should have had its real ‘Houston, we have a problem’ moment, and started fighting the metastasizing problem of right-wing/fascist propaganda that gets merely parroted by the rest of the MSM, but alas, they did fuck-all while it just got worse and worse and worse.

    And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump’s multi-billionaire buddy.
