The 21st century fascist be like...



Exactly this.
Every time they flap their gums about being 'cancelled', or whine that the 'woke' set are being mean to them.
Every time they get up in our faces and demand the right to spout the utter racist, homophobic shit show of nasty, that they obscenely wallow in on a far to regular basis.
Every time they demand we listen to their lies and swallow them like we are fools.
Every single time this has NOTHING to do with free speech and everything to do them attempting to destroy the liberal, progressive and inclusive progress that the West has made over the last 50-60 years. They want to go back to a time when black people 'knew their place', when Johnny Foreigner stayed away from the shores of Rule Britannia, when the working class tugged their forelocks appropriately to the exclusively white male pale and stale ruling elites while being treated with contempt by them.
Free Speech my arse. They want to normalise abusive bullying racist rhetoric, again. They really are horrid.

Round of applause my lovelies

I was watching CNN earlier. Schumer and then Toady Ted - apart from Trump no-one deserves a hard slap more and I include McTurtle in that - on the Senate Floor. I have had Georgia results on in the background all day as I work, and I just wanted to say to my splendid DU family across the pond. Well done!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Hurrah!!!! Huzzah and everything in between!!!!!

You have hung in there. You have fought the good fight. You have worn your very righteous indignation on your sleeve. Your mental well being has been battered. Your actual health and wealth has been severely damaged by the fascist in chief and his enablers and yet HERE YOU ARE! Maybe a bit bruised but fucking hell loves - you helped fight the good fight, you helped fight off a coup by the awfulness that has pervaded the republican version of public service for the last four years (stealing, thieving, grift and nasty). You never gave up, even when the odds seemed daunting.

The result - as you all know - BUT will always bear REPEATING ...

WH - Democratic Check
Senate - Democratic Check
Congress - Democratic Check

Take a bow you progressive monsters for actual equality, justice and freedom - rather than the bullshit the republicans claim as their own.

All of you own part of this and I could not be more proud to be part of this community.



Take a fucking bow my loves, you bloody well deserve it!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Stacey Abrams is one of the greatest patriots this country has ever known. #VoteWarnockOssoffToday




From our hopes to the righteous democratic ears of goodness and Stacey. HURRAH!

Pandering to the great orange ego is more vital than democracy...



Exactly. I would add - their white supremacist pride... after all they are really focussing in on majority black communities as they try and disenfranchise the vote of millions of Americans. White only democracy is not democracy at all...

This is glorious

Rep. Chip Roy is challenging the seating of the delegations from AZ PA MI WI NV and GA, basically saying if the presidential election in those states was rigged as the president contends, then so are the elections of the House delegation.

They are now taking a recorded vote.


About bloody time. Hah.

'Hold my beer'

They need to vote to impeach... again...

Do not seat them...

In 1861 Congress expelled 11 Senators & 3 Reps for failing to recognize Lincoln’s win

Can we summon the courage that our forefathers had? 140 House Republicans refuse to acknowledge Biden’s win (and thus their own, too). Do not seat them


Exactly this. By their own 'logic', if the election is fraudulent there is absolutely no guarantee that they were duly elected - and therefore there is no reason to seat them... and of course they are enablers of the Terrorist in Chief - stand back and stand by white supremacist Nazis.

The BIG Protest Rally in Washington, D.C., will take place at 11.00 A.M. on January 6th. Locational details to follow. StopTheSteal!


He is inciting violence on the streets of the Capitol cause you know the cray cray that will show up look exactly like this:



All the while the very male, pale and stale fascist contingent in Congress seek to destroy democracy for political ends. Seditious traitors should not be seated. They do not believe that the elections were free and fair? Well then, let them be hoist by their own petard.

We have seen your truth laid bare, and we are horrified...



BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!



EDIT - after some further research this was originally a letter written by Katie Schnessel, Village of Polo Ridge - original link here:
https://www.villages-news.com/2020/12/27/i-hope-trump-was-worth-it/
It looks like Steve may have shared it and as often happens on the interwebs - it got attributed to him.
Still a huge BOOM BOOM Shake the room
