  1. The GOP is a mess. Or should I say “cult”.
  2. There are. You just too deep in to see them. No need to pray. Your god is demented. Do you guys realize what a joke it is when you claim "he was draining the swamp"?
  3. now you know how we feel about trump.
  4. so you saying Hillary is innocent. copying data is illegal. You get this right?
  5. I hope Trumps heart doesn't give out due to stress and anger. Someone tell that man to chill.
  6. Isn't it fake news if the cult cant handle it?
  7. It is borderline insanity how obsessed you are with this loser.
  8. I totally can understand being a Republican. They used to have some good ideas. But to think Trump is a man of character or honesty or that he is draining the swamp is just beyond stupid.
  9. What was your take on Edmunds? Let's get this party rollin!!!!
  10. Jail time. Tucked into a bill Trump signed into law in January 2018 was a provision increasing the punishment for knowingly removing classified materials with the intent to retain them at an “unauthorized location.” Previously, someone found guilty of this crime could face up to one year in prison. When former CIA Director David Petraeus was charged in 2015 with mishandling classified data, he pleaded guilty under this statute to avoid a felony charge, as Politico pointed out. A similar situation unfolded a decade earlier, when former national security adviser Samuel Berger pleaded guilty to removing terrorism-related materials from the National Archives in 2005. Now, a person convicted of violating this law can face up to five years in prison ― making it a felony-level offense to mishandle classified documents under 18 U.S.C. 1924. Could 2018 Trump have unknowingly put 2022 Trump in a tough spot?
  11. You people are ignorant. Moving on from Covid, the conspiratorial wing of the populist Right has a new cause célèbre on which to hang its fears of global governance and the Great Reset purportedly being plotted by Klaus Schwab from his Alpine lair. This time, it’s Dutch farmers, whose protests against their government’s plans to force them to curb their use of nitrogen-based fertilisers and lower the polluted runoff from their farms has seen them lauded by Right-wing commentators across the Anglosphere as some form of modern peasants’ revolt. As a recent UnHerd explainer made clear, the Dutch government may have handled the process badly, but the problems are clear enough: the Netherlands’ hyper-intensive form of agriculture is ecologically untenable, severely harming the tiny country’s biodiversity and locking the country’s agricultural sector into a system of overproduction of livestock for export. This entails dangerously low profit margins for farmers themselves, and a system reliant on imports of chemical fertilisers. Partly as a result of the country’s painful experience of famine during the Second World War, Dutch agriculture has long pursued maximum efficiency, making the Netherlands a food exporting powerhouse second only to the vastly larger United States, but locking farmers into a cycle of dependency on globalised agribusinesses. All of the UK’s problems with intensive farming practices that have lowered farmers’ incomes while harming animal welfare and polluting Britain’s landscape are displayed to a significantly heightened degree in the Netherlands. The country’s food production system relies on what are essentially green factories or giant warehouses for livestock, packing animals together four times more densely than in the UK, rather than the small family farms many outside supporters seem to imagine. The current system in the Netherlands is simply unsustainable, but the Dutch government’s abrupt approach to solving the problem has turned it into a political crisis. As the Dutch spokesperson for the World Wildlife Fund, Natasja Oerlemans observes, the problems now are “the result of 30 years of inaction, despite all of the scientific reports and warnings”. “We as a society have allowed this broken food system to happen,” she added, “and we are responsible for providing farmers alternatives”. As the Guardian noted last year, while the Dutch government’s proposals include paying off farmers to reduce production or leave the industry, it also includes billions of Euros of aid designed towards “helping others transition to more extensive (as opposed to intensive) methods of farming, with fewer animals and a bigger area of land”. The goal of the Dutch government’s proposals is aimed to bring Dutch farming closer in line to British farming, where herds of cows roam freely on wide pastures, and away from the American agribusiness model, where cattle live on feedlots eating imported grain. However badly the transition has been handled — and Dutch farmers should be better supported in their shift to a more sustainable model — this goal is, in itself, a welcome shift towards a better functioning food model. Excitable conservatives of a conspiratorial bent should think carefully about which they prefer: a world of small farms producing high-quality food while shepherding the natural environment, or the continuation of a fragile, globalised food system in hock to giant corporations.
  12. I thought the Turmper idiots were supposed to be preparing for a civil war. I just wonder who they are supposed to be in a war with?
  13. Some folks here need to educate themselves. https://www.thebalance.com/democrats-vs-republicans-which-is-better-for-the-economy-4771839 https://www.thebalance.com/what-recession-economy-added-528-000-jobs-in-july-6373981

  16. https://www.predictwise.com/blog/republicans-hate-the-constitution
  17. "help the people who broke into his house" that's like a cool Tucker spin. I bet they were Antifa.
  18. I think they planned everything the Trumptards need to define as "fake" for their reality to function.
  19. The stock market goes up and down. Don't panic.
  20. Pretty sure the cult is mentally unstable since Biden took over. So you are doing better. Good for you.
  21. If he is doing everything you cry about he is definitely a stable genius. Fake raid done by Trump's hand picked man. Come on. Everyone can see this.
