Why is a country that openly bribed a sitting POTUS getting to put their troops in America?

Or, are you asking why Centrists will sabotage any effective action against this level of corruption... just because that's their long history?

The grave of US democracy will be constructed out of Centrist letters expressing their shock and disappointment.

Buried there will be the bones of every civil right no Centrist fought and bled for.

Well, golly. A letter. I sure am glad we have strong Centrist leadership to protect our Democracy from fascism.

Surely this means that MAGA really won't cancel the midterms, and we won't have to endure the trauma of even more Centrist letters.

Statement from @beyer.house.gov on President Trump's illegal mass firings of federal workers:
beyer.house.gov/news/documen...

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA), who represents a Northern Virginia congressional district with one of the largest concentrations of federal workers in the U.S. House, issued the following statement today on illegal, unnecessary mass firings of federal workers announced by the Trump Administration and Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget Russ Vought:

“The mass firings Russ Vought and the Trump Administration announced today are cruel, illegal, and yet another attack on our economy. This is a disaster for Virginia, intentionally inflicted by President Trump and his Republican allies. These firings are also already being fought in court.

“This President is killing jobs at a disastrous rate, while forcing the continuation of a government shutdown that would end if he simply agreed to prevent skyrocketing health care price increases. Instead of doing that, however, Trump and Vought are illegally firing more workers, hurting essential services for the American people, and damaging our economy in Virginia and across the country. Vought is also further abusing power by corruptly freezing hundreds of energy infrastructure projects, which will kill even more jobs and raise electricity prices across the nation.

“Everyone should understand that a government shutdown does not require or enable mass firings of federal workers, in fact it forbids it. President Trump and Russ Vought have been firing federal workers by the thousands continuously since the beginning of the DOGE disaster, and as numerous Republicans have admitted, they plainly hoped to use the pretext of a shutdown to fire even more American workers. But directing these firings during a shutdown violates the law, and the laws they are violating are criminal statutes.

“This Administration’s corruption is only matched by its willingness to sabotage our economy and raise prices for the American people. Trump and Vought’s lawless contempt for Congress’ powers under the Constitution will also mak…

Seriously, folks. What standard would the Right apply to something like this if Obama did it?

That MUST be the standard the Left applies to the Right doing this. But, it won't be that because Centrists will stand in the way at every turn, ensuring a flaccid DNC response, allowing the Right to do it

You linked to a "far-right conspiracy theorist" blog that has one line, offering zero evidence, that in some non-defined way, this guy was somehow related to some activity Bernie was involved with.

Again, I get you think you've substantiated your fact assertion.

Most of the center and left-of-center mainstream media, and the Democratic Party, are narrowly focused on a fool’s errand, removing Donald Trump from office by impeachment. There is little possibility...

Why she pretends the right has a good faith argument when it comes to a few trans & intersex children playing games at school.

It’s foolish to ever think the right is animated —from religion to immigration— by anything other than anti-minority bias; it’s the foundation of every issue for the right

MLK on Centrism and Centrists on MLK.

Centrism is moral rot.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
Birmingham City Jail Apri1 16, 1963
I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom
18 not the White Citizenis Council-er or the Klu Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is nore devoted to "orderl than to justices who peefers a negative
peace which is the absence of tension to a postive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I san't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels that he can set the time-table for another man's freedoms who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to walt until a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of goodwill la more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

“Centrism” on any civil rights issue is merely a path to fascism.

Fascism isn’t possible without an army of Centrists telling 2nd class citizens to be content with 2nd class citizenry.

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats"

subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

If the state wants to play this game, then Harris county, Houston, & all local municipalities need to withhold their funding to the state.

But Centrists will fight collective action, which is why the gayborhood can't have its culture, but public schools must promote evangelicalism in class now.

Centrism is poison. Houston Metro: "Maybe if we compromise on this inch, fascism won't eat our face. It's just some paint."

Ah, the problem is their PDF preview search tool seems to be broken. Going to Amazon and using their preview function returns 8 instances of "transgender," which seems low considering its centrality to the right's current dialectic.

Jew=18
Gay=16
Black=40
Queer=1
TERF=0
Gender=56
LGBT+=17

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America.
There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."
The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas.
President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.
