ICE is going to use increased fund using to arrest people at the polls and seizes “suspicious” voting machines. It. Is. Coming.

I think of your account as the old letter to the editor. You repost a few and tend to weed out the nuts. I never got many printed but when I did it felt like I had at least got my point of view into the public discussion.

Please keep in mind that big money is the only reasons the GOP didn’t take over years ago. It’s a necessary evil until both sides can be disarmed.

To be honest, from the looks of the pic he might need just a little help with the uh … blemishes.

But most of all he needs the press to focus on the nearest shiny object and forget who Epstein was.

An honest question to any history buff, was the press in the Weimar Republic as obsequious as our press is?
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
1. Trump worries about Epstein 2. Trump invades DC and commands press to cover that instead 3. Press forgets who Epstein was Dems are flawed but not the problem. The press is no longer just complicit. They are actively destroying democracy for $

Mr Nichols, may I please ask that you briefly return to your previous stance of “the GOP must be burned to the ground”.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t disagree. My point is that a huge section of the country has been overwhelmed by GOP propaganda. Until former Republicans honestly tell people how abjectly corrupt all aspects of the GOP are, that corner won’t be turned.

Please please remember . The Dem party is a flawed but well intentioned human organization. They didn’t make this mess. They are not to blame for this mess. They can’t fix this mess.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
No, we are told they embrace that. The slightest flaw of Dems and any hint of virtue in the GOP is amplified by the media.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
They speak that way because they know that if they make a misstep as small as “I can’t think of anything “ they will be savaged by the entire media system.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
But “everywhere” isn’t installing a dictator. Reagan embraced “the southern strategy”. Bush I had Barr derail Iran-Contra. Bush II had Stone form the Brooks Brothers riot. Until they admit the GOP has been utterly corrupt for generations, they are providing cover for the current GOP.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
Please remember It Was All a Lie. The “recessive gene” had its last gasp with Ford. Barr derailed Iran Contra Stone staged the “Brooks Brothers riot”.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes Charlie saw this as early as anyone did. But when he, Nichols Michael Steele … refuse to recognize the history of GOP corruption they provide cover for current GOP corruption. “It Was All a Lie” and the recessive gene was an illusion.
1934Refuge (@compensating.bsky.social) reply parent
Charlie is great but he continues to hold to a nostalgia of the GOP suggesting the GOP has had any integrity in a couple of generations.

Nonsense. Harris said “I can’t think of anything “ and she was pilloried. Dems have to be more cautious because the media has two sets of standards.
