If he won’t do the most obvious economic move at the State level then why should he be trusted to do it at the national level?

Not to mention his normalizing of fascists on his podcast. Why would a Democrat platform Steve Bannon or Newt Gingrich or Dr. Phil or Anthony Scaramucci or Michael Savage or Charlie Kirk (rest in piss)?

ABC source for those who don’t want to click Newsweek.

Because he knows the neofeudalists like Thiel are the future of the party, and that’s what Vance is: Thiel’s sockpuppet.

Yeah, he’s a neonazi who is trying to get ahead of Trump’s inevitable implosion.

He’s still constantly espousing the racist “great replacement” theory, and his political project is to bring more people into the reactionary tent. For now, that means being critical of Israel, but that’s only because he sees which way the wind is blowing.

Don’t trust the snake that already bit you twice.

“I did kind of an oopsie and let a fundamentalist talk show host run the biggest army in the world.”

Sure, but they will point to this, and I think it’s worth bringing that up to highlight their strategy.

I never granted the premise.

More in the sense that they’re going to point to this as “proof.”

Now they’re going to pretend like there’s a conspiracy to get “illegals” to vote.

Right?

What do Republicans love?

• patriarchy
• white nationalism
• the taste of billionaire boot

Did I miss anything?

Ken Paxton acts like a MAN by cheating on his wife like a good, traditional patriarch and his finances like a good traditional Republican.

The book also sheds new light on a symptom the Daily Beast has long reported on: his bulging ankles, which his doctors have said is the result of chronic venous insufficiency.

I can’t wait for his legs to spring a leak like a waterbed and spray out a fine jet of blood during a press conference.

Donald Trump isn’t the kind of guy to take “no” for an answer.

Just ask all of the woman and children that he sexually assaulted.

It’s just like the end of W’s presidency when everyone on the right was pissed off about what he did in Iraq and to the economy, then they proceeded to double-down on the nationalism, racism, and religious intolerance that made the GOP so popular with reactionaries.

It’s a fundamental problem with their ideology, but they are so driven by their hatred and tuned up by the far-right media that they just keep digging that hole deeper. Ultimately, the ultra-wealthy know that fueling the fire of fascist rhetoric is a sure fire way of getting the brainwashed rubes to fight their class war for them.

Is MTG going to stop promoting the Great Replacement conspiracy theory? Absolutely not; in fact, I bet she leans even harder into it.

Not that it matters, because the effect is the same, but I wonder if he really did believe that stuff or if he did it knowing that it would facilitate a wealth transfer to the ultra-wealthy.

What’s next? Letting the youths listen to rock and roll music on the jukebox?!

Almost all of them are still too chickenshit to call out their dommy daddy publicly for this totally unjustified war though.

Some Republicans in the House were more blunt when speaking anonymously. The terms of the deal contradicted the talking points that the White House asked its Republican allies to use, Republicans told Politico.

One House Republican said the Trump administration was “lying to some degree” about the peace deal.

“The president didn’t mean to, but he effectively acknowledged he lost the war. It’s no longer worth the economic price. This is the way out, as ugly as it is,” another House Republican told the publication.

“He promised total surrender. And here it is,” a third House Republican said.

Wait, I thought Grok was the one people use to make CSAM?

The problem is that Vance’s knee-jerk reaction to being challenged by a woman is to patronize or dismiss, and an all-female panel in front of an all-female studio audience wasn’t going to allow that. He’s also terrible at being, or even seeming, off-the-cuff and candid. When he said that Trump’s economic policies were going to “pay serious dividends” and Behar immediately asked, “When?” his smile began to wear thin as he hit back: “Well, Joy, what happens is that construction jobs build the factories and people go back to work.” It was condescending and weak all at once.

Corporations and billionaires spend a ton of money to prevent people in the USA from having access to basic medical services as a way to limit professional mobility, forcing folks to stay in exploitative jobs which they hate.
