You take extra stupid pills tonight or something? Not at all surprised that you don’t know what education is or how it works, given that we’ve established your lack of it. And you don’t seem like you’ve had kids either. Also not surprised you have no objection to the Republican pig’s claim that women should be discouraged from leaving the house. Or that children should be denied education in order to prevent that.

Hey dumbfuck why don’t you read to the end of your own document for once: The President: “Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that's really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me.” G.A.O. Report Says Trump Administration Broke Law in Withholding Ukraine Aid As the Senate prepared for the impeachment trial, the Government Accountability Office said the White House violated a law that limits a president’s power to withhold money allocated by Congress. New documents show Trump officials laid the groundwork for Ukraine's aid freeze the night before his call to Zelensky Officials at the White House budget office prepared to freeze almost $400 million in military aid to Ukraine the day before President Donald Trump's July 25 phone call with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, new documents show. The revelation came on the same day as opening arguments began in Trump's Senate impeachment trial, The documents were released in response to an FOIA request by the transparency group American Oversight. In one email, dated July 24 — the day before Trump's July 25 phonecall with Zelensky — budget officials shared a "Ukraine Prep Memo" with Michael Duffey, the budget official who played a key role in the Ukraine aid freeze. The messages, like most of the emails released Tuesday, are heavily redacted. "We will be standing by to answer any questions that you have and are happy to schedule time to discuss if you like," OMB official Paul Denaro wrote to Duffey. The day after, Duffey asked budget official Mark Sandy about the footnote, which is the techincal device used to freeze the funding. In response, Sandy shared what he called a "revised footnote." ...Roughly 90 minutes after Trump's phone call with Zelensky, Duffey officially froze Ukraine's military aid. Later emails show Pentagon official Elaine McCusker raising concerns about the legality of the freeze, but these sections are also heavily redacted. https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-aid-freeze-was-prepped-before-trump-call-new-documents-show-2020-1

Crickets from the right eh? Ok time for round 2 1) Trump Appointee At VOA Parent Paid Law Firm Millions To Investigate His Own Staff Last summer, an appointee of former President Donald Trump was irate because he could not simply fire top executives who had warned him that some of his plans might be illegal. Michael Pack, who was CEO of the U.S. Agency for Global Media that oversees Voice of America, in August suspended those top executives. He also immediately ordered up an investigation to determine what wrongdoing the executives might have committed. Instead of turning to inspectors general or civil servants to investigate, Pack personally signed a no-bid contract to hire a high-profile law firm with strong Republican ties. The bill — footed by taxpayers — exceeded a million dollars in just the first few months of the contract. .... The group's analysis of the new documents, shared with NPR, found the law firm McGuireWoods charged more than $320 per hour for 3,200 billable hours from August through October alone. It devoted five partners, six associates, two lawyers "of counsel," two staff attorneys, seven paralegals, three case assistants, 14 other timekeepers, and 11 "outsourced attorneys" to the work. (According to exchanges between USAGM staffers reviewed by NPR, November and December charges from the law firm exceeded $1.2 million. Those exchanges were not part of the documents released on Thursday.) The invoices reflect that McGuireWoods' legal team, among other duties, reviewed social media posts, "news articles relating to Michael Pack" and an "[Office of Inspector General] audit on Hillary Clinton's email breach." It was not immediately apparent what the controversy involving the former Secretary of State had to do with the investigation of the suspended USAGM executives. Clinton by then had already been out of office for more than seven years. "The engagement constitutes gross mismanagement, gross waste of taxpayer dollars and abuse of authority” https://www.npr.org/2021/03/04/973765185/trump-appointee-at-voa-parent-paid-law-firm-millions-to-investigate-his-own-staf 2) Trump appointee arrested in connection with Capitol riot Federico Klein, a former State Department aide, was picked up Thursday on charges stemming from the Jan. 6 takeover of Congress. The FBI on Thursday arrested Federico Klein, a former State Department aide, on charges related to the storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, marking the first known instance of an appointee of President Donald Trump facing criminal prosecution in connection with the attempt to block Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s victory. Klein, 42, was taken into custody in Virginia, said Samantha Shero, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Washington Field Office. Details on the charges against him were not immediately available. Klein worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign and was then hired at the State Department. As of last summer, he was listed in a federal directory as serving as a special assistant in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and was designated as a “Schedule C” political appointee. Klein worked for a time in the State Department’s Office of Brazilian and Southern Cone Affairs before being transferred to the office that handles Freedom of Information Act requests, according to a former colleague who spoke on the condition of anonymity. On Trump’s 2016 campaign, Klein — also known as Freddie — worked as a “tech analyst,” according to Federal Election Commission records. He earned $15,000 there, according to a financial disclosure he filed when he joined the State Department. He was paid an additional $5,000 by the campaign in 2017, the FEC records show. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/04/trump-appointee-arrested-for-capitol-riot-473825 3) Trump's Justice Dept failed to prosecute cabinet members (4 times) In a normal term, having a cabinet secretary referred to the Justice Department for prosecution would be extraordinary. With Trump, it happened four times. March 4, 2021, 3:17 PM EST First, there was Ryan Zinke. Corruption allegations involving Donald Trump's scandal-plagued Interior secretary were referred to Justice Department prosecutors, but Trump's DOJ declined to charge the Montana Republican. Then there was Alex Acosta, Donald Trump's scandal-plagued Labor secretary, who was also referred to Justice Department prosecutors, only to have Trump's DOJ decline to charge the Florida Republican, too. And who can forget Robert Wilkie, Donald Trump's controversial VA secretary, who was -- you guessed it -- referred to Justice Department prosecutors, only to have Trump's DOJ choose not to charge him, either. The Trump administration is obviously over, but it turns out this club has a fourth member. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-s-justice-dept-failed-prosecute-cabinet-members-4-times-n1259656

The chart shows Texas was consistently higher than California except during the holiday season. So what facts are you referring to?

Bottom line: Republicans’ lame excuses that you never really noticed them and/or you noticed them but there’s nothing you can to exclude them are exactly that...lame. I bet of they were pro-Palesitinian Islamists you would purge them real quick and not play stupid or beat around the bush when asked to condemn them

Indeed: I don’t think you could have chosen a more ironic closing line if you tried.

You believe it as a matter of faith, the way Muslims, Buddhists or Branch Davidians believe in their religious teachings... you all just “know it to be true” despite whatever the independent arbiters and actual facts appear to be. And now some of your followers are resorting to terrorism, hence the added security, which you mock him for. I also don’t see any evidence that his support is dwindling.

Your daily roundup of Republican vileness: 1) Idaho Republican votes against using federal funds for early education, says it makes it 'easier for mothers to come out of the home' BOISE, Idaho — March is Women's History Month and on Tuesday, one Idaho state representative voted against accepting federal grants to help kids get ready for kindergarten because it "makes it easier or more convenient for mothers to come out of the home." "I don't think anybody does a better job than mothers in the home, and any bill that makes it easier or more convenient for mothers to come out of the home and let others raise their child, I don't think that's a good direction for us to be going," he said. The bill failed on a 34-36 vote, but it is expected to be reconsidered. Rep. Shepherd thinks this chance to help kids get ready for kindergarten, not necessarily raising them, would do damage to the family unit by making it easier for mothers to get out of the home and live their lives. Happy Women's History Month, Idaho! https://www.ktvb.com/mobile/article/news/local/208/idaho-republican-votes-against-education-funds-convenient-for-mothers-to-come-out-of-the-home/277-645ae7a7-601e-4557-9d7c-f8df5c22949c?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot 2) Businesses tied to Noem family got $600,000 in virus grants PIERRE, S.D. — Family members of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem received more than $600,000 in funds from a state grant program pushed by the governor that directed federal coronavirus relief funds to small businesses. ...The Legislature approved the grant plan in October, but the family businesses benefitted from adjustments the Republican governor made. The plan initially capped grants at $100,000, but later in the month, with plentiful federal funds at their disposal, Noem’s administration adjusted the grant cap to $500,000. The governor also later opened up a second round of grant applications to businesses hurt by the pandemic from September to November. ...A total of 126 businesses across the state — less than 4% of grant applicants — received grants of $500,000. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/health/businesses-tied-to-noem-family-got-600000-in-virus-grants/2021/03/03/604456d2-7c7d-11eb-8c5e-32e47b42b51b_story.html%3foutputType=amp 3) Trump’s Pentagon Blocked Troops From Getting to the Capitol Riots For Hours, DC National Guard Commander Said The DC National Guard commander said he was not allowed to send troops to the Capitol, in sharp contrast to the city’s George Floyd protests last year, when troops were given immediate permission to deploy. WASHINGTON — The head of the DC National Guard told Congress Wednesday he was “stunned” as senior military leaders refused desperate pleas to send in troops to quell the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. Even after the Capitol had been breached, Pentagon officials in the Trump administration held off on sending in reinforcements for three hours and 19 minutes while citing a concern about “optics,” DC National Guard commanding general William Walker told the Senate Rules and Administration Committee. Walker said that former president Donald Trump’s acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller leveled “unusual” restrictions the day before the riots that required Walker to seek Miller’s permission to move troops or to allow members of a rapid response unit to arm themselves or put on helmets or body armor. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/paulmcleod/trump-pentagon-blocked-national-guard-capitol

- Aid Frozen in July, unfrozen in September. - Trump explicitly demanded Zelenski investigae Hunter Biden - No “pipeline of money to the Biden family, just a salasry for Hunter - The demand to fire the prosecutor was a longstanding policy position of the US and European countries because of his corruption and pro-Russian affiliations Go look it up I don't blame you for being completely ignorant of all this, or lying about it, you're just toeing the party line

I think this meme pretty accurately sums up the range of arguments in the right

The left didn’t suddenly turn o the the right, the right suddenly turned on society. And if anything you take us way to seriously as evidenced bu your nonstop, red-faced hyperbole and hysterical screams of outrage every time you hear a non-conservative say something

That’s exactly your problem. The right-wing mentality has decayed so much that your only guiding principle or philosophy left now is “whatever triggers the lefties” PS I can’t believe you actually wrote out “you’s guys’ ? PPS The Wall St bull was not an idol erected for worship at a political party’s premiere event. But it is also worshipped by Republicans.

Bla bla bla look its not my goal to convince people like you to become atheist. I just wish people like you would stop making it your goal to convince me to become religious. Aint gonna happen. You have no more right to tell others that they can’t have an abortion or MAID or medical marijuana because it’s against YOUR religion than a Muslim has a right to tell you that you can’t have pork because it’s against HIS religion. You claim your religion morally compels you to save unborn fetuses from us. But what about a Hindu who wants to ban eating meat because his religion compels him to save animals from you? Believe whatever you want to believe, just keep it to yourself and please stop talking to me about what the bible says and quoting verses because yo me it’s just made-up superstition. You will no more sway me with stories from the bible than someone could sway you with stories about Zeuss or Thor or Vishnu or unicorns.

Yeah California is also bad. What’s your point?

The new supposed anti-corporate rhetoric of the right is only a facade. It’s nothing more than a few empty sound bites. Literally everything conservative lawmakers do on a typical working day is outrageously pro-corporate: irresponsible deregulation, tax loopholes and giveaways, subsidies, rolling back employment and safety protections for workers, rolling back consumer protections, you name it.

....But he will still burn most of them in a lake of fire and torture them in unimaginable ways for all eternity if they don’t worship him sufficiently. Even the children. Got it ? Sure sounds like love!

Oh and also what was up with the tone-deaf singer who butchered the national anthem and sounded like a dying bison? Hacks hiring hacks. She’s probably some wealthy Republican donor’s niece or mistress or something.

Ha neither of you undereducated cult followers would know anything about sophistication or intelligence You literally made a golden statue of your Dear Leader and you believe he has such god-like infallibility that you’re compelled to continually invent comically implausible conspiracy theories just so you can claim he’s never wrong.

Although the Canadian military hasn’t accepted high school dropouts in about 20 years, in your day they did provided they had grade 10. You must’ve “gotten into” (not graduated?) BCIT as an a-dolt stoodent later in life ? Nobody’s buying that you never heard of Q until just now. Especially considering how people almost got killed by that pizzagate nonsense

Not to mention the statue was made in Mexico. You can’t make this stuff up folks. And still not a peep from the righties

I don’t believe in magical deities or care what your bible says. Yet you insist on reciting it to me as justification of all your views, and you think I and everyone else should be forced to obey your religion. That’s Sharia and I say “No thanks!”

Hilarious! Trump has repeatedly refused to condemn QAnon and claims he’s barley heard of them despite the fact that they’re a huge and highly visible faction at all his rallies. So which is it, is he stupid or dishonest? He has tacitly accepted them therefore he needs to renounce them. And a high school dropout calling me uneducated that’s funny! I can’t wait to tell my former university professors about that!

Yeah you want to impose all these laws about abortion and MAID and whatever else because YOUR religion compels you to run other peoples lives. That’s just your version of Sharia.

Nobody wants your Christian sharia law here. Why do you religious right jihadis always feel you have to force your magical superstitions on other people?

Infidel Dog didn’t say that, I did. ? And anyone who believes the election was stolen doesn’t get to accuse anyone of mindlessly devouring and regurgitating idiotic propaganda because that is literally the definition of it.
