Every Republican Ever...



Fact.
October 22, 2019

For Trump it really doesn't matter if you are black or white...



The far right and ISIS go together like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong
You can see why it is what it is...Two sides of same bloody and hate filled coin, which is why Trump does not give a fuck that ISIS has been yet again unleashed. They are a means to an end as is his bromance with the KKK.
Extremists of the world, marinating in the incompetent white supremacist supposed leader of the free world and be like



Lynching...beheading... Comme ci, comme ça . Heh.

GOP Rep Posts Photo Claiming Omar Is 'Elected Terrorist' (Photo Taken Four Years Before Her Birth)

The Associated Press reports:

A Republican state senator from North Dakota took to Facebook to post a long-debunked photo that claims to be Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar holding a weapon at an al-Qaida training camp.

The photo on the home page of Rep. Oley Larsen, of Minot, has been debunked by several sources since it appeared on social media this summer. It’s an Associated Press photo taken at a Mogadishu military training campus in 1978, before Omar was born.

Larsen also called Omar an “elected terrorist” in the comments section of his post. Rep. Omar said in a statement Monday evening, “Facebook’s unwillingness to crack down on hate speech and misinformation is not just threatening my life, but our democracy.”

Do you think that it is that they do not realise that doing this sort of thing shows them up for the knuckle dragging racist, sexist, privileged wankers that they are, or that they just don't care? Apart from anything else, not all black people look the same you pathetic snivelling fuckers...

Bobby L Rush: What the hell is wrong with you?

https://twitter.com/RepBobbyRush/status/1186613817704366081

You think this impeachment is a LYNCHING? What the hell is wrong with you?

Do you know how many people who look like me have been lynched, since the inception of this country, by people who look like you. Delete this tweet.


He knows this. He does not not care. He will not delete.
He would have been at the front of the crowd at any lynching about if he had ever had the chance. He is a racist and a white supremacist who knows exactly what he is doing with this use of language to gin up his base.

Boris's Promises are meaningless.

https://twitter.com/DavidLammy/status/1186591977611108352

Boris Johnson's promises to Labour MPs on workers' rights mean as much as when he reassured the DUP that “under no circumstances, whatever happens, will I allow the EU or anyone else to create any kind of division down the Irish Sea”

They are meaningless.


Everything that comes out of his gob needs to be interpreted in light of what it means to him and his privileged pals...



Heh.

It's a uniquely American take on dictatorship...



He really is uniquely unfit. Literally suing to stop the free press doing their job. Where have we seen this before?

The Propaganda Ministry and the Reich Press Chamber In paragraph 14 of the law, the regime required editors to omit anything “calculated to weaken the strength of the Reich abroad or at home.”

The Propaganda Ministry aimed further to control the content of news and editorial pages through directives distributed in daily conferences in Berlin and transmitted via the Nazi Party propaganda offices to regional or local papers. Detailed guidelines stated what stories could or could not be reported and how to report the news. Journalists or editors who failed to follow these instructions could be fired or, if believed to be acting with intent to harm Germany, sent to a concentration camp. Rather than suppressing news, the Nazi propaganda apparatus instead sought to tightly control its flow and interpretation and to deny access to alternative sources of news.

Maybe fox news could become his propaganda ministry - they are already half way there.
This is not hyperbole. If you had asked any German in 1930 about losing free press they would have scoffed... if Trump gets his way free press will be abolished. As Goebbels said It is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion.

Heh.

Trump Give ISIS Its Biggest Victory In Years (So Much Winning)

American forces and their Kurdish-led partners in Syria had been conducting as many as a dozen counterterrorism missions a day against Islamic State militants, officials said. That has stopped. Those same partners, the Syrian Democratic Forces, had also been quietly releasing some Islamic State prisoners and incorporating them into their ranks, in part as a way to keep them under watch. That, too, is now in jeopardy.

And across Syria’s porous border with Iraq, Islamic State fighters are conducting a campaign of assassination against local village headmen, in part to intimidate government informants.

“There is no question that ISIS is one of the big winners in what is happening in Syria,” said Lina Khatib, director of the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House, a research center in London. Cutting support for the Syrian Democratic Forces has crippled the ability of the United States and its former partners to hunt down the group’s remnants.

Emphasis mine
He does not care of course. He will declare it a victory anyway and if any ISIS terrorist attacks happen on US soil he will blame it on the Mexicans...
Meanwhile massacres are happening, war crimes are occurring and the world sits back and does nothing... so fucking depressing.

Thank gerrymandering for Trump's staunchest defenders in Congress

They’re President Trump’s first line of defense against impeachment: US Representatives Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows, both former chairmen of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, now ubiquitous bulldogs on cable news, the Sunday morning shows, Capitol Hill hallway press availabilities, even a tag-team road show in Texas.

It makes compelling television. Meadows and Jordan shed congressional politesse and speak the language of thriller novels. They’ve argued that impeachment represents a “coup” and have offered dire warnings of “deep state” conspiracies to “take down this president”.

The congressmen share more than a belief in an international cabal working against the president. Jordan and Meadows represent two of the most wildly gerrymandered congressional districts in the nation – seats designed to elect not just any Republican, but the most extreme conservative.

I don't think it is just gerrymandering that lets them flap their gums so much, they really are racist nazi white supremacist nasty wind bags, who would love to lead the charge in the destruction of democracy... but the article does raise some very interesting points!

It really is not that complicated ...



For this type of man, stripping them off their power to sexually harass and intimidate women is exactly like cutting of their balls.. heh.

...This is leading to a time of great danger...

Conservatives know they cannot win in a fair and balance fight in 2020. Many rats seem to be departing the sinking ship… and this is leading to a time of great danger. When the ball drops properly and conservatives come to the realisation that democracy is about to kick them very very hard indeed in their right-wing scrotum of nasty, they will not abandon conservatism (the logical thing to do), they will do everything in their power to destroy democracy to secure their control on the levers of power. We are at the point just before the light of the dawn and they cannot be allowed to snuff out that light – and we all know they will do their damnedest to try in every illegitimate way possible to do just that, in the same way they have been for the last 50 years.
