Putting gaetz in the top-cop position of our country illustrates exactly what trump thinks of our legal system and how to wield it: abuse with total abandon. Horrifying and unacceptable.

Cowards, indeed. Way to obey in advance. And the humiliating show of patronization, by trump and fox, in the aftermath was disgusting. Way to start a bad precedent and show just how pathetic, desperate, and scared they are.

Their appeasement begets an even more emboldened trump. Fascist bullies need to be punched in their mouths (in this case, metaphorically) and be set straight, or they will not stop. Lines need to be drawn. Apparently, Mika and Joe have no boundaries by which they will stand and defend.

Disgusting. After all the mud slung at Mika and Joe by trump, as well as the both of them maintaining trump is a fascist threat to our democracy, they cave…? Kind of makes you wonder what secrets are being held inside that resort to make people come out of there as newly-minted surrogates. Pathetic.

Hmmm…that is interesting, because musk’s IQ score is not publicly known. There are simply “estimates” floating around. Moreover, there is no such classification in the Intelligence Quotient test for “super.” That’s a modifier a child would use.

As an educator in California, religious tolerance and liberty, as well as the Pledge of Allegiance, is a part of daily life in school culture across campuses. If this is all going on in California, I highly doubt any of the crap that was coming out of Walters’ mouth has been happening in Oklahoma.

Might’ve well just said: Christianity is the supreme faith and if you don’t like it, you’re going to at least be subjected to it. Instead of being taught to critically think and criticize your country, in both good times and bad, you should unquestionably celebrate it, regardless of its actions.

Hmmm…I wonder what’s changed since the Obama’s were in the White House, pushing for the very same standards to help fight American obesity, that’s convinced the dorks in the supercut of hypocrisy to make a 180? Could it be that it’s now coming from someone who is…just a bit more light skinned?
November 18, 2024 at 4:04 AM
Yep. The same crowd that pounced on the Obama’s when they tried to pursue new nutrition standards to fight obesity, is suddenly silent…because they’re apparently busy stuffing their faces with “poison.” Great look for RFK Jr., the new Food Crusader. How about he start with his boss.

This continues to be part of the problem. The fascists amass power through zero compromise, and we say, "Well, at least we held up to our standards and ethics,” while being crushed by an opposition that doesn’t care or play by the same rules. Biden should pardon his son.

Desperate, indeed. The only thing musk ever created is the perception of being a “genius,” surrounding himself with high-IQ individuals. Otherwise, the DOGE notice is simply a call to those who will pledge allegiance and be subservient. BTW, what’s a “super” high-IQ? Isn’t a high IQ, just a high IQ?

The “I’ve done my own research” crowd, with RFK Jr. as their champion. Surely, they know better than the experts. 🤦🏻‍♂️

“The language and symbols of authentic American fascism” are not those from 1930s Europe. No swastikas. Instead, they are, “familiar and reassuring…Stars and Stripes (or Stars and Bars) and Christian crosses. No fascist salute, but mass recitations of the pledge of allegiance.”

“[T]he group was using racial slurs toward people of color on the street, shouting about Jewish people and white power and appeared to be armed.”

Just another group of “fine people” on that side.
