They are most assuredly NOT Republicans! What they are, are the Great Fascist Party, which is made of of people intent on bleeding the country dry, and leaving dust in it's wake. They are only interested in power and money, and who they hurt, or who they have to destroy to do it makes no difference.

Yep! There aren't a lot of words in the American lexicon to describe who these people are. We can only use our eyes and ears and see and hear the disgusting things they do and say. The forefathers of our country could have never visualized such a group of criminals running our government.

"Oh, is Puerto Rico part of the United States?" "Yes" "Are Puerto Ricans American citizens?" "Yes" "Then why is J.D. Vance et al, insisting that an American should be featured at the Super Bowl?" "I guess he's really stupid." "Uh huh!"

The people around the First Felon spend hours every day trying to push him in the direction they want him to be. He is demented and insane, and they know it. Stephen Miller is running the Country, and feeding the First Felon whatever he thinks FF wants to hear. Today's version of Nancy Reagan.

Remember when America focused on education? Well that day is gone. Today, we focus in ineptness, and stupidity. Bad government and hate. IMHO, it will take a generation to get back to interest in learning anything, but how to play on your phone, and watching Tik Tok.

I don't know where you live, but we don't call this a cabin where I live. Pretty spectacular!

The second most hated person in America. The list is like a who's who of criminals. In order, we have 1)First Felon, 2)Stephen Miller, 3)Tom Homans, 4)Pam Bondi, 5)Mike Johnson, 6)Christi Noem, 7)RFK Jr., 8)J.D. Vance, 9)Laura Loomer, 10)Elon Musk. I'm sure everyone can add a few to the list.

It's amazing that one city in one state, has been the focus of so much attention. New York is an important city, but there are 360 million Americans that don't live there. Even if this Democrat wins, it's not going to make much difference in the great scheme of things in America. Litmus test, maybe.

There are a lot of right-wing podcasters. So many in fact that we can't keep up with them. Let's face it, that's where many Americans get their information, and it is usually badly distorted or outright lies.

The governor controls the State Police, basically all State agencies. At least that's the way it is in most States. So, wonder if he can tell the police to just stay back and be on the lookout for violence?

That's all we can do, is hope. Once in place, will he get cooperation from the city employees, including the boys in blue?

They'll wait till he comes to visit, and send him to prison in El Salvador.

Meanwhile their very excellent propaganda machine is pumping out their talking points about how the Dems are causing the shutdown. Fox "Not News", is one of their primary outlets for bullshit. Sadly, their news is the most watched. Goes to show how really stupid so many Americans actually are.

With the First Felon and the rest of the crooks in the Great Fascist Party,you always follow the money.Money and power is all they care about.Bring in Qatar's air force, and use it against American cities that don't submit to his will. You think that's insane? Well you've answered your own question.

We found out a lot about ourselves in the 2016 election, but we didn't learn anything from it. We have dug a giant hole, and after jumping in, we are asking the First Felon et al, to fill it in. If we survive the next 3 years, it will be an absolute miracle.

This guy is a great politician. It remains to be seen if he makes a good mayor of New York City.

It will be up to the Democratic Party in Memphis to convince voters to vote in large numbers, and ignore the troops. They are only there to scare the people. The secret is to avoid any confrontation during the occupation. Do not give the assholes an excuse for Martial Law.

Well I personally will NEVER "learn to live with it"!

All depends if they match the $400 million that Qatar came up with.

It's incredible! Someone that we never though we would agree with in our lifetimes. It's different when the "shoe is on the other foot", isn't it Marjorie? Different when it's hurting your own, isn't it Marjorie? Well thank God for small favors.

Idaho is chock full of red necks. I'm not sure they will be welcoming the new arrivals.

We've been selling fighter aircraft to Middle Eastern countries for at least 60 years. And been training their pilots for that long. So nothing new there. BUT, we have never had a Middle Eastern air base on American soil, NEVER!
