You mean the right-wing sources that SG is relying on for his "facts" and "information" may not be telling the truth and are unreliable? That can't be!

So we're supposed to trust reports from an administration that lies practically every time it opens its mouth, and expect their reports to be objective and fair? How convenient.

That's not only increasingly the Trump Administration's final defense of any of their actions - "Americans voted for this" or "we're just doing what the voters elected us to do" - but it's also the go-to defense of his supporters on this board and elsewhere. And the truth is in many ways they're...

Of all the shit going on with this administration and all of the damage they're causing in so many ways and spending/wasting/stealing/losing vastly larger sums than 221k, idiots like you remain obsessed with whether Sanders & AOC spent 221k on jet travel. It is fitting that Trumpers would remain...

If there's one thing I've learned from 25 years of reading political message boards, it's that many posters who don't post nonetheless continue to read the boards on a regular basis, even while their anger and bile builds up against those who are posting. And in most cases the absent posters who...

Looking at the specific questions, I wonder how many of these critics are not simply Trumpers but Democrats who are frustrated and angry at their own party right now. My guess is that it's a high percentage. There have been other polls showing that high numbers of Democrats are currently...

But we were confidently told that no American citizens would be arrested for political reasons under Trump 2.0! Every time a Trumper claims that his administration won't take the next extreme step and that our fears are exaggerated something like this happens.

So the guy votes for Trump - even though he said he was for tariffs - then becomes defensive and whines when he gets slammed by others when Trump actually raises tariffs and his business flounders. This is his self-righteous rebuttal to all of his critics: "...to wish ill on someone and to love...

Eventually rural public schools in some states are going to start closing as federal and state funds keep drying up and local funding in many poor counties simply won't be enough to keep them open, especially as (conservative Christian) homeschooling reduces enrollment in some rural areas...

That may well be part of it, but I also suspect that part of it is that 18 to 21 year olds are often still not in the job market, while 22 to 29 year olds are. And once that happens then it often becomes rather clear which party really gives a shit about workers, especially to anyone who is...

No surprise at all. Vouchers are nothing more than a way to destroy public schools by gradually transferring more and more of their necessary funding (necessary as in maintaining buildings, providing pay raises to teachers and staff, keeping decent benefits, etc.) to vouchers which in most...

That's what many of his supporters think they want - chaos, as in just burning the whole system down and starting over from scratch, with their side completely in charge and thus able to create a new system that they will control and dominate (even though they dominate our current system, many...

One of the clear and major (and frightening) differences between Trump's first term and this one is that in his first term Trump - while certainly employing his share of loons and incompetents and right-wing fanatics - did still have some capable people around him who were at least privately...

It's been said frequently before, but this board (and the old IC version) has had an endless number of drive-by posters who claim they didn't vote for or support Trump but nonetheless support about 99% of what he does and clearly hate liberals and Democrats far more than they do Trumpers or...

I've posted this before, but in a party filled with dangerous extremists Christopher Rufo is among the most dangerous, especially when it comes to higher ed. He's very effective at using social media to attack universities and public ed, and while he is a grifter he also seems to be a true...
