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.
Becca is 100% correct.
Current political stage is more left vs right, progressive vs conservative, woke vs antiwoke. Russia is ally of conservatives, because their politics are far right conservative.
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.
I upvoted this comment, but schadenfreude isn’t a good look anywhere.
TBO US supported dictators before, Pinochet, Marcos, Saddam, Suharto, Batista and others.
This is the first time for a major land. Still scary and absurd tough.

Fuck. See, that was easy, no censoring necessarily at all.
As in: Fuck off for using the r-word.
The war on all words that describe a negative trait continues.
I promise whatever the goalposts are set to will be the next inappropriate term.
I don’t know about that. What I do is try to listen to why a group thinks a word is offensive.
The thing with “retard” is that it has been used to refer to people with mental disabilities for a very long time. By saying “republicans are retards” you say “rebilocsns are as stupid as people that were born with a mental disability”.
Thing is, people with mental disabilities are still people. There are goofy, snarky, nice, some are even quite big assholes. Many can be a lot of fun to interact with. They are just people, even if they are not as intelligent as you or me.
Referring to people as retarded, to me, means setting mentaly disabled people as the baseline for beeing idiots. And I just don’t think it’s fair to reduce them to something, they had no saying in what so ever. They didn’t choose to be born that way and they shouldn’t be reduced to just that.
/rant I guess

Could you please not lump folks with learning and or intellectual disabilities with a bunch of spineless fascist traitors?

Why are Vermont reps so based??? Isn’t Bernie also from there?
Vermont is awesome, we’re planning to move there once our family situation changes, but it may be a few more years of caretaking before we can. In the mean time we’re trying to keep the state we’re in at least purple as long as possible.
The bare minimum, that’s all people want. Show a fucking backbone and rage!!!
I dunno, as a non-empty subset of “people”, I want more than rage. I want action. Spare me your tears, spare me your anguish, spare me your irascible outcry. Arrest the people breaking federal laws every single day, and if no action is taken by those who have abdicated their duty, ensure they abdicate their posts, through main force if necessary.
Showing life would be a start. Instead we get this…
If Republicans could feel shame I’m sure they’d be very upset
But not upset with themselves, upset that society hadn’t lowered the bar far enough for them to not feel shame for their actions.
Anyone with integrity, morals, or even a backbone was pushed out many years ago.
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.
Why the fuck are they waiting until after he came into office to hammer home the Russian ties and really bring it to the forefront?
It’s literally a quote from his debate vs Hillary.
Because they are cockroaches and only act for their own survival.
She NEVER thought? Was she in a coma during 2016-2020?
And all it took for Republicans to get on board was the threat of primaries funded by Trump’s multi-billionaire buddy.
I mean, that’s all we know in the open. I seriously doubt there weren’t background threats and bribes.
There’s always organic threats too from the
brownshirtredhat thugsThere are always background threats. It is politics after all.
The True President.
That’s my rep! Glad that the little State of Vermont has sane representatives in both chambers of congress.
Yeah, I’m wondering what the hell is going on in Vermont, and can you guys ship it to the rest of the country?
This lady for prez 2028
You’re assuming democracy will still exist.
They’re playing the Nazi/Putin play book with Project 2025.
