  1. What hell are you talking about here? More of your nonsense. Due to the war, the government massively regulated and controlled prices for all sorts of sectors of the economy and private industry. Factories were told by the government what they could and could not make. All sorts of everyday consumer goods like coffee, butter and meat were rationed, in addition to things like gasoline. Families had government-issued ration books indicating how much they could buy. “Deregulated like a Republican” LMAO
  2. Meanwhile back on the topic of controlling women’s bodies, Alabama confirms they’ll try to lock up anyone who helps a woman get an abortion outside the state: Alabama AG: state may prosecute those who assist in out-of-state abortions “If someone was promoting themselves out as a funder of abortions out of state, that is potentially criminally actionable for us. If there are groups promoting this as part of their services, we will be taking a look at that.” https://www.alreporter.com/2022/09/15/alabama-ag-state-may-prosecute-those-who-assist-in-out-of-state-abortions/
  3. So slimy even lawyers can’t stand him and even the Daily Mail can’t resist chirping up Florida lawyer brought in to defend Trump after Mar-a-Lago raid secures upfront payment of $3 MILLION - citing his proclivity for stiffing attorneys: Ex-president 'once tried to compensate counsel with a horse' Chris Kise, 57, joined Trump's legal team in August to represent him in the investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago On Thursday it was reported that Kise secured a $3 million advance for his legal work: the former president's refusal to pay for agreed services is infamous His former lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, wrote to Trump in January 2021 requesting the $2.5 million he says he is owed for his legal work During the campaign in 2016, USA Today uncovered more than 3,500 lawsuits filed over 30 years by people who said Trump and his companies failed to pay A new book out this week claims that, in the 1990s, Trump refused to pay one lawyer his $2.5 million fee, and instead offered him a horse as payment …Several lawyers approached by Trump's team turned down the job, fearing Trump would not listen to their advice, and would refuse to pay them… https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11218033/Florida-lawyer-brought-defend-Trump-Mar-Lago-raid-secured-upfront-payment-3-MILLION.html
  4. Don’t worry I’m sure Republicans will get rid of that pesky democracy thing one day and you’ll get your king on his throne.
  5. I don’t think that’s accurate but neither does the changing of one man - from the same party no less- change national policy overnight The presidency is not a one-man personality cult as much as you’d love it to be one under Trump Either way they’re both Democrats so what are you selling? tha only the FDR-hating, Hitler-admiring America Firsters had been in charge the world would have been better Or is your claim that as soon as WW2 ended, real patriotic Republican Americans would have immediately started WW3 and invaded USSR?
  6. Hungary is no longer a full democracy, says European parliament Hungary can no longer be considered a full democracy, the European parliament has said in a powerful symbolic vote against Viktor Orbán’s government. In a resolution backed by 81% of MEPs present to vote, the parliament stated that Hungary had become a “hybrid regime of electoral autocracy”, citing a breakdown in democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law…. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/15/hungary-is-no-longer-a-full-democracy-says-european-parliament Remember Hungary is a EU member being sanctioned by its peers. Confirming what everyone has been saying for the better part of a decade: Rigged elections, abuse of office, massive corruption and cronyism, shameless Putin-loving. No wonder Tucker and the Republicans love Orban so much.
  7. You just believe his illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is justified because of baseless made up bullshiit that comes from Putin himself. Thanks for not disagreeing that you believe in the baseless BIG LIE tho. That’s progress. ?
  8. Of course But have you heard of Potsdam, the longest and final conference and the only one to occur after the war? Im thinking no.
  9. ICYMI: Supercut of the 20+ times between April 2018 and August 2020 that Bill Maher accurately predicted Trump would pull the BIG LIE and try to remain in office after losing the election
  10. 1) FDR was absolutely instrumental in getting America to join the war, over the objections of the “America First Committee” who were prominent businessmen and right-wingers who admired the Nazis anti-socialist ideology 2) FDR Died before WW2 ended. His successor Harry Truman was the president when post-war negotiations with the soviets took place. To suggest that a Republican would have somehow done better is just made up partisan nonsense 3) Eisnenhower was a moderate Republican who continued and expanded upon many of FDR’s big-spending policies that are the basis of what is known as the postwar American golden age and built modem North America infrastructure as we know it. He would be called a “RINO” by today’s far-right extremists. He actively worked to undermine far-right extremist and conspiracy theorist Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy (of “McCarthyism” fame) who would be right at home in today’s MAGA loony bin.
  11. Says the the guy who believes the totally baseless BIG LIE and supports Putin. Hilarious.
  12. “Putin must be losing horribly on purpose as part of some genius master plan we mere mortals can’t comprehend ! What other explanation can there be?” LMAO
  13. And the beat goes on, another Republican election crook gets busted. This election is going to be a shitshow I wonder if American democracy will even survive to 2024 Rensselaer County Republican elections commissioner arrested by FBI Tiffany Payton WNYT Updated: 1 hour ago Published: September 13, 2022 - 11:33 AM The FBI confirms with NewsChannel 13 that Rensselaer County Republican Elections Commissioner Jason Schofield was arrested and arraigned on Tuesday. According to the charges, Schofield allegedly took possession of absentee ballots issued to voters. He then allegedly brought ballots to them and had the voters sign absentee ballot envelopes but not actually vote – which allowed him to cast votes in their names. This indictment comes as Schofield’s name came up in a federal investigation back in June that left Troy Councilwoman Kim Ashe-McPherson convicted of ballot fraud. https://wnyt.com/top-stories/rensselaer-county-republican-elections-commissioner-arrested/
  14. But what about “States rights”? Look how quickly Republicans dropped that red herring and revealed their true agenda Lindsey Graham Introduces Nationwide Abortion Ban Weeks After Saying It’s Up to States The South Carolina senator proves once again that everything Republicans say about abortion is bullshit ….Graham wants to overrule the right of states to set their own abortion laws despite having said on several occasions that abortion should be dictated by states, not the federal government. “I think states should decide the issue of marriage and states should decide the issue of abortion,” the South Carolina senator told CNN last month. Graham also tweeted in May that if “the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, which I believe was one of the largest power grabs in the history of the Court, it means that every state will decide if abortion is legal and on what terms.” When asked on Tuesday about Republicans who believe the issue should be left to the states, Graham reportedly said, “That’s great. That’s their position. That’s a sound position. That’s not my position.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/lindsey-graham-introduces-nationwide-abortion-ban-1234591744/
  15. Meanwhile, Trump supporters continue their fascist assault on Democracy and prove YET AGAIN that they are the only ones trying to rig elections Fascism is as fascism does Trump fans weaponize records requests to “overwhelm” election workers and “destabilize” midterms "It is happening all over the country," election official says. "County officials are drowning" Election officials across the U.S. are facing what many believe appears to be a coordinated effort to overwhelm their offices just as employees are mailing out absentee ballots and preparing for the 2022 midterms—and critics say the deluge of requests hitting election offices is the work of prominent supporters of former President Donald Trump. … Election workers are bound by law to respond to records requests, which government watchdogs agree serve a vital purpose in ensuring a transparent, fair democratic system. "They should not be used to harass or overwhelm a system as these coordinated requests from Trump supporters to local election offices appear intended to do," said Noah Bookbinder, president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), on Monday. … Some of the requests have included admissions that the constituent is acting at the urging of Lindell and other Trump supporters, according to The Post. Many also include identical language, including threats to sue election bureaus their their "involvement in the fraudulent elections that will soon be proven to have taken place since 2017." Matt Crain of the Colorado County Clerks Association told The Post that Trump supporters appear to be waging "a denial-of-service attack on local government," rendering election offices unable to perform their usual work of organizing the election that's set to take place in just eight weeks. Election officials in dozens of counties across nearly two dozen states have been inundated with the requests. "It is happening all over the country," tweeted Sara Tindall Ghazal, a state election board member in Georgia. "County officials are drowning. And in some cases, when the requester does not like the response they get, they become belligerent and threatening." … https://www.salon.com/2022/09/12/fans-weaponize-records-requests-to-overwhelm-workers-and-destabilize-midterms_partner/
  16. Oh it’s not a “only Republicans are dirty” thread. It’s a reminder to you brainwashed cultists how many dirty Republicans there are. Because you worship them as infallible deities and scream that they are never to be criticized or questioned Because you live in an information bubble where their misdeeds are never reported or mentioned Because all of the above allows you to subscribe to all sorts of absurd conspiracy theories and believe you are fighting in the side of good vs evil and therefore you are uniquely entitled to employ your fascist tactics.
  17. Just so there’s no confusion about the terrible security at Mar-Lago, it’s already been infiltrated by Russian-Ukrainian criminals: Ukrainian woman posing as Rothschild family member infiltrated Mar-a-Lago: report She appeared at numerous Mar-a-Lago functions mingling with the likes of Trump, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham and others while she held the position as president of United Hearts of Mercy, founded by Florida-based Russian oligarch and former business partner Valery Tarasenko in Canada in 2015, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Yashchyshyn, 33, is now the subject of several federal investigations after it was revealed she is not in fact a member of the Rothschild family. She’s additionally under investigation by Canadian authorities for alleged financial crimes. In actuality, Yashchyshyn is the Russian-speaking daughter of an Illinois truck driver. It’s unclear when she came to the US. …Yashchyshyn formerly worked in a suburban Miami business connecting pregnant Russian women to Americans looking to adopt a child, the Post-Gazette reported. …Photos from 2021 show the brunette hanging out with Trump, Graham and others, according to the reports. https://nypost.com/2022/08/26/ukrainian-woman-inna-yashchyshyn-posing-as-rothschild-family-member-infiltrated-mar-a-lago/amp/
  18. You missed the party where he and his cronies are pocketing the money for themselves
  19. Yes, Putinian corporate fascism is much better, you get thrown out windows with much nicer views. And they really put the effort into ensuring you’re poisoned with only the best, most exotic toxins. No common arsenic or strychnine like a cheap jealous housewife.
  20. The sheer level of graft behind the Trump BIG LIE scam is stunning Half a BILLION dollars for Trump and his crooked crony co-conspirators from gullible supporters. Fools and their money are easily parted Trump’s Political Operation Has Raised Over $500 Million Since the 2020 Election Former President Donald Trump’s political operation has raised more than $500 million since the 2020 presidential election while using donor money to pay millions of dollars in legal bills and steer millions more to the coffers of Jan. 6 rally organizers, a new OpenSecretsanalysis of federal campaign finance filings found. https://truthout.org/articles/trumps-political-operation-has-raised-over-500-million-since-the-2020-election/
  21. Well in none of those VERY RARE (and also mostly old) cases did the Canadian LG or GG call Buckingham palace for direction. Which proves that even if an office of GG/LG is required we don’t need to it to be associated with the British monarchy
  22. Can you point to an example? Chretien appointed GG went along with Harper on proroguing parliament. In practice they defer to parliament and never dare weird power precisely because they are unelected
  23. Vlad, moral and deeply religious spiritual man who only wants to save the whole world! LMAO
  24. “Greet” is probably Russian army slang for “rape and murder”.
  25. They just go along with the PM in those situations.
