    Politics War on Universities, Lawyers & Expertise

    That's a classic case of saying (or tweeting) the quiet parts out loud. They don't want people to learn about the Wilmington Insurrection or the Tulsa Race Massacre or Japanese-American Internment or that white people have done some very bad things to minorities over the centuries. Just focus on...

    Politics Gavin Newsom addresses the nation

    True, and I'd actually add in Lee Atwater even earlier - I believe Atwater was the force behind the infamous "Willie Horton" ad attacking Dukakis. What Rove & Company did to John McCain in the 2000 South Carolina primary was pretty brutal. But yeah, Trump has taken it to level that Atwater and...

    Politics Gavin Newsom addresses the nation

    Well, that and Democratic media consultants convinced the campaign to suddenly drop the whole "they're weird!" angle because it might offend "independents" and wouldn't look good and blah blah blah. Or at least that's what I've read in a number of places.

    Politics Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

    For all of those Trumpers who keep saying that DC is such a crime-ridden hellhole that it simply had to be occupied by red-state troops.

    Fox News complaining about any Democratic politician, anywhere, trolling Dear Leader and his minions on social media is definitely peak hypocrisy.

    I hate to tell you this, lady, but you're no longer with the Church of Jesus, you're a full-fledged member of the Cult of Trump. You've chosen to follow a False Prophet over the teachings of your erstwhile Savior.

    Politics U.S. State News Catch-All

    None of those statistics matter to Ryan Walters or most of the other politicians who control Oklahoma's public school system. Forcing schools to teach a White Christian Nationalist ideology is all that matters, along with a big dose of grifting from public school money and owning the libs on...

    Politics Trump presses Obama “treason” claims & Enemies investigations

    It's amazing at how MAGAs firmly control all three branches of the federal government, most state governments, and have been using their power to take a wrecking ball to the government, yet they still seem convinced that the Deep State runs things and that they're always the victims of evil Deep...

    Politics Gavin Newsom addresses the nation

    Same thing happened when Walz and other Democrats went after them with the "weirdo" charge last year. It did throw them on the defensive and even Trump seemed flummoxed for a few weeks. It's like they're so used to being the aggressors and setting the narrative and keeping Democrats on the...

    Politics Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

    I wonder where the board Trumpers who were all over this thread earlier this week are? They seem to have disappeared.

    Politics Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

    Given the number of Fox News talking heads he's appointed to high government positions, it certainly fits.

    I still remember watching Superman II in a packed cinema and when he yelled "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!" the audience just erupted with laughter. He also got a good laugh (and it was a great line) when he made the president kneel before him and surrender and when the president said "Dear God" he replied...

    Politics Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

    Interesting read from a former Washington Post reporter for those arguing that DC is such a crime-ridden hellhole that Republicans had to send in the troops. The post is referencing that fact that the GOP governors of three red states - Ohio, West Virginia, and South Carolina - have sent their...

    It honestly wouldn't surprise me if Fetterman switched parties and ran as a Republican for a second term, if he runs at all. He still has some Democratic views (pro-union mostly) but he's definitely become a lot friendlier to a lot of Republican culture war social issue positions.

    Politics Bosiders

    ^All of this. There are very few true bosiders or "independents" posting on message boards like this one - most of them are just Trumpers pretending to be otherwise. I'm always amused at the numbers of self-proclaimed independents I've seen in real life and on message boards and social media...
