Oh... And I should add...

Unlike YOU, I know FULL WELL and will admit that this type of bullshit is pulled on both sides of the aisle every single day. It's how most of the anti-American-people shit gets rammed through. With leverage.

I don't even blame Democrats for doing this here. It has been their job from the beginning to pull this shit, just like it has been the Republicans to do the same.


I blame the GODDAMNED LEGACY MEDIA for NEVER telling us the truth about anything.

They know that collectively we are so fucking stupid and self-centered that nobody asks any fucking questions about anything and the few who do would just be ignored by everyone else for talking about it.

Fuck your gaslighting.

Either that, or tell the people you get your news from to fuck their gaslighting.

As per usual, you didn't even read what you're quoting. https://www.congress.gov/congressional-report/117th-congress/house-rep

The Republicans in Congress would have prevented that bill on Contraception from being voted upon, but the report says that debate would be limited to one hour. If there had been no limit, the Republicans would be making amendment after amendment to prevent the Contraception bill from ever coming to a vote this year. The report says "Although the resolution waives all points of order against provisions in H.R. 8373, as amended, the Committee is not aware of any points of order. The waiver is prophylactic in nature." Prophylactic means the Republicans cannot screw House Bill H.R. 8373 to prevent a vote on contraceptives.

Everything you just said wasn't in the official paperwork and you pulled it out of your ass.

I simply posted what was actually in the official paperwork.

You are fucking tool and having a conversation with you about anything is a waste of time and effort.


After November, your party is dead. You will never see Democrats in power for the rest of your lifetime.

6ix, why do angry poor white trash, aka Trumptards, die young? Some hints from the article: In poor neighborhoods, immigrants have the highest life expectancies

In 2017, foreign-born life expectancy reached 81.4 and 85.7 years for men and women, respectively. That’s about 7 and 6.2 years longer than the average lifespan of their U.S.-born counterparts.

Research shows that the difference between immigrants and the U.S.-born has widened substantially over time. The fact that immigrants are doing well suggests that there is a capacity to thrive in the U.S., but the U.S.-born aren’t fulfilling that potential. (Trumptards die young because they are negligent and they live stupidly.)

Income matters even more between the poor and the rich. We've known for a long time that this is probably the single biggest factor in longevity. Rich people have life expectancies nearly a decade longer than poor people.

They're calling themselves Christian Nationalists now. I prefer Nationalist Christians, that way we can call them Nat-C's for short.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene @RepMTG
I am being attacked by the godless left because I said I’m a proud Christian Nationalist.
These evil people are even calling me a Nazi because I proudly love my country and my God.
The left has shown us exactly who they are.
They hate America, they hate God, and they hate us.

The Dystopian Myths of Red America

July 25, 2022

The Big Lie about the election is embedded in an even bigger lie.

Desensitization is an amazing thing. At this point most political observers simply accept it as a fact of life that an overwhelming majority of Republicans accept the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen — a claim with nothing to support it, not even plausible anecdotes.

What I don’t think is fully appreciated, however, is that the Big Lie is embedded in an even bigger lie: the claim that the Democratic Party is controlled by radical leftists aiming to destroy America as we know it. And this lie in turn derives a lot of its persuasiveness from a grotesquely distorted view of what life is like in blue America.

Urban elites are constantly accused of not understanding Real America™. And, to be fair, most big-city residents probably don’t have a good sense of what life is like in rural areas and small towns, although it’s doubtful whether this gap justified the immense number of news reports interviewing Trump voters sitting in diners.

But I’d argue that right-wing misperceptions of blue America run far deeper — and are far more dangerous.

Let’s start with the politics. The other day The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel, reporting from the campaign trail, noted that many Republican candidates are claiming that Democrats are deliberately undermining the nation and promoting violence against their opponents; some are even claiming that we’re already in a civil war.

Some (many?) of these candidates have been winning primaries, suggesting that the G.O.P. base agrees with them. Actually, I’d like to see some surveys along the lines of those showing that most Republicans accept the Big Lie. How many Republicans believe that President Biden and other leading Democrats are left-wing radicals, indeed Marxists?

Relatedly, I’d like to know how many Republicans believe that Black Lives Matter demonstrators looted and burned large parts of America’s major cities.

Now, the reality is that the modern Democratic Party is a mildly center-left coalition, consisting of what Europeans would call social democrats, and relatively conservative ones at that. To take one measure, I can’t think of any prominent Democrats — actually, any Democratic members of Congress — who have expressed admiration for any authoritarian foreign regime.

This is in contrast to widespread conservative admiration for Hungary’s Viktor Orban, who recently denounced other Europeans for “mixing with non-Europeans” and declared that he doesn’t want Hungary to become a “mixed-race” country.

On the domestic violence front, a study by the Anti-Defamation League found that 75 percent of extremist-related domestic killings from 2012 to 2021 were perpetrated by the right and only 4 percent by the left.

Finally, about B.L.M.: The protests were, in fact, overwhelmingly peaceful. Yes, there was some arson and looting, with total property damage typically estimated at $1 billion to $2 billion. Here’s one point of comparison. Back in April, Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, pulled a political stunt at the border with Mexico, temporarily imposing extra security checks that caused a major slowdown of traffic, disrupting business and leading to a lot of spoiled produce. Total economic losses have been estimated at around $4 billion; that is, a few days of border-security theater appear to have caused more economic damage than a hundred days of mass protests.

Yet pointing out these facts probably won’t change many minds. Nor does there seem to be any way to change the perception, also alluded to in that Post article, that a lax attitude toward law enforcement has turned America’s big cities into dangerous hellholes. It’s true that violent crime rose during the pandemic, but it rose about as much in rural America as it did in urban areas. And despite that recent rise, violence in many cities is far lower than it was not long ago.

In New York City, homicides so far this year are running a bit below their 2021 level, and in 2

Trump returns to DC with apocalyptic speech: ‘Our country is going to hell’

The former president addressed a conservative think tank in Washington, where he painted a picture of a Democrat-run nation overrun by criminals and the homeless

IKER SEISDEDOSEL PAÍS, Washington - JUL 27, 2022 - 05:51 EDT

Donald Trump on Tuesday returned to Washington DC for the first time since leaving office, over a year and a half after the January 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill currently under investigation by a congressional committee.

Speaking at an event organized by the America First Policy Institute, a think tank he helped fund, the former president delivered a speech riddled with inaccuracies and falsehoods in which he exaggerated the achievements of his administration, presented himself as a victim of the system, and focused on public safety, law enforcement and protection of the border with Mexico.

“Our country is going to hell, and it’s going to hell very fast,” he asserted, painting an apocalyptic landscape of crime-ridden cities controlled by Democrats that have become “war zones.” Trump described green areas taken over by homeless encampments, stores where criminals steal merchandise with complete impunity, and “sadists who prey on children and are released on bail.”

Trump, who is flirting with a new presidential run in 2024, promised to impose the death penalty for drug traffickers if he returns to power. “America first must mean safety first,” he said, supporting being “tough, nasty, mean if we have to, to restore public safety.” He also supported a return to “stop and frisk” policies and attacked the “ridiculous” idea of defunding the police.

Trump referred to “the anti-police narrative of the radical left” as “the big lie,” in a sarcastic reference to the way the media refers to the conspiracy theory he still espouses, according to which the 2020 election was stolen from him. “Have you ever heard that expression before?”

It was the first time in 566 days that Trump was seen in a public act in DC. The last time had been January 6, 2021, when he harangued thousands of his followers to march on Capitol Hill in a bid to influence the certification of the electoral votes that gave the presidential victory to Joe Biden. The insurrection that followed, which endangered the lives of hundreds of police officers, is the target of a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, as well as a probe by a congressional committee that last Thursday provided evidence that during the three hours that the assault lasted, Trump sat back and did nothing to stop the violent mob, even though he was “the only person on the planet capable of sending them home.”
