   Teach: horrible plastic stools

   So you think those barstools are plastic? You should get out more. There’s more plastic in the teenager’s bra than in the bar.

   No one has said it better…

   I Voted for Trump — Twice. I Was a Right-wing Pundit. I Was Dead Wrong About All of It I was all-in on Donald Trump’s lies, well after Jan. 6. What opened my eyes? Gather round and I’ll tell you

   Does this mean I agree with all the Democratic Party’s policy positions? Absolutely not, and that’s exactly the point — this moment of necessary unity will require those of us to come together who have legitimate disagreements on policy, but who concur that the GOP is leading our beloved country, and numerous of its states, to the slaughter.

   I supported Donald Trump. I really did, and without much reservation. I believed the fallacy that a Hillary Clinton victory (and, then, four years later, a Joe Biden victory) would mean the end of America and the start of permanent Democrat rule over our nation. … Democrats were importing foreigners to win elections forever; leftists were coming for our guns; nationalism was patriotism; there was a shadowy network of censors whose teleological purpose in life was to suppress Republican or conservative points of view; predatory men were using women’s bathrooms everywhere; and, of course, Barack Obama was the worst president in history and made Jimmy Carter look like George Washington.

   I’m here to tell you that I was wrong. I was wrong about all of it.

   In my view, the Democratic Party… has two major blind spots: It takes for granted many historically Democratic voting blocs — such as religious minorities, LGBTQ citizens and Black and Latino voters — and it almost entirely ignores rural America. In contrast, the Republican Party is terminally ill, and its leadership knows that; that’s why they have staked a path forward that is, well, backward, with increased emphasis on everything male/Caucasian/Christian and heterosexual.

   We must heal our nation by re-establishing a resounding majority in favor of democracy — a majority that leaves no doubt that, when history calls, Americans of diverse views and backgrounds will answer the call by conjuring the better and braver angels of our nature.

   But to get there, and to carry on our blessed experiment in self-governance, one of our current political parties — the one I supported for many years — must be put out of its misery.

   The Democrats do not have all or even most of the answers. But the nuGOP has none. It has become a cult movement behind the One True Leader, Donald John Trump, who will destroy America if he must.

   Here’s the deal. A Trump presidency is the end of American democracy, as the nuGOP will no longer allow anyone else to win an election. If Biden or Pritzker or Harris or Newsom is elected they can be defeated in four more years because they are committed to democracy. The nuGOP is not.

     Jeff,
     That testimony is really a bunch of bullshit. Do you really believe that that bull shit is real? It is pure propaganda. And it is in the Salon, you can’t get more left wing.

     If Trump does not prevail, then we are looking at the end of our country.

       The brain washed troll believes everything any leftist writes from Stalin to pedo joe and nothing by anyone else. That silly cut and paste comment of dowds is a prime example of his inability to think for himself. Hell, I figure it was from a leftist version of the Babylon Bee.

       I know I keep saying they are all liars but just look at it!

       Fish-Belly,

       Do you DENY that Rich Logis wrote the article in Salon? MAGAts just DENY anything that makes them uncomfortable.

       Rich Logis is a real person and writes for The Federalist.

       Like many conservatives, Mr Logis is outraged by the threat to America, Don tRump, and those that support him unquestioningly.

       Anyone who believes trump won the election is delusional.

   Election Interference: DOJ/FBI Carpet-Bombed

   Subpoenas An Attempt To Freeze Political Opposition In Runup To Midterms
   If Trumpworld and conservative world and Republican world legitimately were deserving of carpet bombed subpoenas regarding January 6, it would have been done a year ago, not now in the runup to the 2022 midterms. It’s reminiscent of the 2013-2014 prosecutorial attempt to freeze the Wisconsin conservative movement.

   Martha’s Vineyard st a beautiful example for the nation. They used the military to deport every last illegal migrant from their island in less than 48 hours.

   The entire nation should emulate Martha’s Vineyard.

   Does Governor DeSantis know about this? Disney just injected CRT into The Little Mermaid by making Ariel a Black girl in the new version!

   As good conservatives point out, Hans Christian Anderson was Danish, therefore white, therefore the Little Mermaid is white!

   And everyone knows mermaids are white.

   Anyway, this is just “woke” Disney attacking whites. Imagine little white girls seeing this – how do they feel seeing a Black Ariel?

   Representative Boebert (R-CO) at the Truth and Liberty Coalition in Woodland Park, Colorado, on September 9:

   “It’s time for us to position ourselves and rise up and take our place in Christ and influence this nation as we were called to do.”

   “We need God back at the center of our country.”

   “We know that we are in the last of the last days, but it’s not a time to complain about it. It’s not a time to get upset about it. It’s a time to know that you were called to be a part of these last days. You get to have a role in ushering in the second coming of Jesus.”

   America is a Representative Democracy AND a Constitutional Republic. Many of the Founding Fathers considered pure democracy equivalent to “mob rule” where the great unwashed could make law taking from the wealthy.

   Madison said that it’s very important to structure the Senate as they did to protect the rights of the opulent minority against the landless masses.

   John Adams wrote at length about how terrible it would be if you had a system where there’s rule of the majority, because the impoverished masses would vote to redistribute wealth. That is a fact of this nation’s history. And that is the history that these Republican figures are actually conjuring when they talk about the United States being a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

   The MAGOP wants to drown the vestiges of democracy because the old GOP had become an isolated minority that had foregone trying to attract new supporters (voters). MAGAts may be ruthless and cruel, but they are not stupid. Any level of democratic principle is their true enemy thus, Stop the Steal!

   And yes, the Founding Fathers rigged the system to temper the passions inherent in “mob rule” with the Electoral College system, 6 yr Senate terms, 2/3rd majority votes etc.

   The MAGOP is just attempting the rig the system a bit more in their favor with voting restrictions, controlling the vote “counters”, state level MAGAt control of election laws AND the constant refrain that our democracy is obsolete.

   We know how this turns out-what voting restrictions and proof that anything is actually restricted?
   “State level control of election laws” . Well Mr. genius, that’s how the Constitution set it up. States can set their own rules as long as the don’t run afoul of federal laws.

   Donald Q Trump has gone full QAnon. Where We Go One, We Go All! He’s been sporting a Q pin of late and is parroting QAnon “The Storm is Coming!” memes.

   “The Storm” is that time when Trump recaptures the presidency, apprehending thousands of satanic cabal of pedophiles and cannibals who conspired to oust Trump. The captured members of the cabal will be executed in public. The Hollywood and Democrat cabal extracts adrenochrome from tortured children and and ingests it to stay young. According to QAnon acolytes, Child Protective Services (CPS) is the kidnaping arm of the cabal. There is an underground child prison under NYC.

   Trump is the One who will destroy the cabal and its members as he rides into DC on the shoulders of his foot soldiers!

    I’m so shocked..so in other words no evidence of “voting restrictions” or evidence that voting was restricted, or that states are illegally altering voting laws? Or in the case of voting laws were you referring to judges and governors, mostly in blue states, altering election procedures when the Constitution says state legislators must do that? If that was the case, then you were correct
