She believed "the big lie" and paid for it with her life. The tragic part is that people can be led to believe almost anything when they are in a cult. That in no ways justifies honors of any kind. Sympathy for falling victim to a cult, sure. But not military honors.

I thought it was too much when Trump announced his candidacy in 2015 and called Mexicans criminals and rapists. That should have been the end of it. I am amazed how much worse it gets every day with no end in sight. There's no bottom to his depravity and the loyalty of his supporters. It's a cult.

She was literally engaged in election fraud so of course Trump wants her release.

The SCOTUS could enforce the Constitution, but where are they? The entire GOP is in on this. This has been the plan since Reagan.

Ya, no shit. Alarms were going off that this administration's actions, including DOGE's chainsaw methods of labor reduction, The GOP's inaction in Congress and SCOTUS's enabling of the Mango Felon in Chief would result in the deaths of many Americans. This is only the beginning. Going to get worse.

I think Republicans and MAGA cultists lack the empathy required to understand what parents like Sarah go though. I have kids and they don't have disabilities like Audrey does, but I have no doubt Sarah loves Audrey as much as I love my kids. I can wrap that around my brain. Why can't MAGA?

There's nothing more dishonorable than to portend to be a Christian and to behave the opposite of the teachings of the Bible. I'm an atheist, but that does not mean I don't appreciate the basic tenants Warnock quoted. We all have a responsibility to take care of people less fortunate.
Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social) reply parent
Same, but there's nothing more dishonorable than to portend to be a Christian and to behave 180 degrees counter to the teachings of the Bible.

Studies indicate that around 64% of adult Medicaid beneficiaries are working full or part-time. Additionally, many working-age adults on Medicaid (71%) are either in school or working full or part-time. The reality is wages are too low and health insurance costs are too high. Single payer please.

Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social) reply parent
Rational, informed Americans are ready for such a progressive movement. Democrats keep trying to appeal to the middle which means they aren't vocal about these issues. I think if they openly advocated for these things, and pointed out how well they have worked out elsewhere, it would be effective.
Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social) reply parent
What's frustrating about the Speaker of the House lying to the country on a propaganda network is that the Speaker of the House goes on the propaganda network to lie to the country. So do so many of Trump's administration. It's almost as if they are in cahoots with the propaganda network. 🤔
Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social)
Well said.
Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social) reply parent
Make no mistake. The Republicans and the oligarchs are going for all the marbles. They get everything and you get nothing. Historically, almost all fascist movements were stopped only by violence. We cannot allow it to get to this. Otherwise, the next stop will be pitchforks and torches.

Noem isn't just wrong with her answer, she's disqualifyingly wrong. She exactly 180° wrong. I mean, I know Trump's Cabinet is made up of idiots and sycophants, but JFC, that was the most insane answer a former member of the House could possibly give. That was purely for Trump's ears.

"Why don't you just agree with me even though I'm demonstrably wrong." This is America's biggest problem. Facts don't matter, honor is a forgotten ideal, respect is dead. Trump is truly a vile, unhinged, unqualified, idiot. How were so many people convinced he was anything else. Oh ya, Fox News.

Martial Law is coming. EO is not about criminals. It shields cops from lawsuits. Criminalizes local governments who refuse to comply. Puts military gear on U.S. streets. Creates a federal task force to coordinate suppression through Homeland Security. This is not law enforcement. This is occupation.

Harris Faulkner is willfully ignoring the logic. You can't know if someone is in the country illegally or not unless you check, aka, due process. Fox News is pure propaganda.

In normal times, nearly everything Trump has said and what he does, the felony and rape convictions, the self serving, the insurrection, the misogyny, the racism, the childish language, the lying, everything he has done and does, would have been disqualifying. Yet, here we are. It's a cult.
Tangent Man (@tangentman.bsky.social) reply parent
You know what's deranged? Trying to defend a convicted felon and rapist who lies constantly, sucks up to Putin while trashing our allies, who bankrupted every business he ever started and is currently bankrupting the country. And that's just a start. Now that's deranged.
