Assuming anyone can trust Alex Jones.

Pretty sute Nikki Haley has been a poster child for gop hypocrisy for decades.

Not a chance. If Alex Jones told the truth, it was entirely accidental.

Let’s stop blaming the GOP for a minute and look at that f**cker called Manchin.

I just saw this and wondered the same thing. Certain groups of men don’t like powerful women. I wonder who’s behind this.

They backed her as long as they could. Murkowski must have said no. They’ve withdrawn the nomination. She’ll still be in the White House, making republicans squirm.

Since January 6, Nikki Haley has joined Mitt Romney, Mike Pence, & Ben Sasse on the list of “Republican Hopefuls Least Likely to Win the 2024 Republican Nomination for President of the United States.”

So yeah … DIW & DOA.

Yeah, but certain countries win the booby prize for that. America is definitely one of them.

Assuming honesty in this case despite the likelihood of truth is still risky…

I wouldn’t make too much out of it. I seem to remember that after some democratic win years ago, Boil On Life’s Ass Rush Limbaugh said something about being done carrying water for the republican party. That seemed to last about 5 seconds.

" that is not something Americans support…" Oh yeah, he only supports and always supports what Americans support! So I guess he will vote for the Covid relief bill that is awaiting senate vote, right? After all, 74% of Americana support it!

“…acknowledge that the American Relief Act he opposes provides more funding to the police?” Or acknowledge that Trump really lost, and really incited the insurrection that led to the murder of a capital POLICE officer, and the suicide of two other Capital POLICE officers?

Leeharvey, you should not assume that Viper Cottonmouth has enough intelligence (or at least the desire to put it to use if does) to understand what is really involved in the calls to ‘defund the police’! He is stupid enough to worship the guy whose only time ‘acing’ any test was when he took his cognitive test (if you can really even believe that, given he has a disability by choice called truth impairment)!

amid a right-wing campaign to paint her as radical.

Sure, she’s a radical leftist considering that her resume includes this:

Gupta, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, formerly led the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department during the Obama administration

Scary radical!

Many of her most heated defenders on the call were police officers themselves. Houston Chief of Police Art Acevedo in particular expressed his “frustration” at the attacks.

I’ll never forget that during the BLM protests in Houston last year Chief Acevedo was asked if he would “take a knee,” and it didn’t take him a second. :kissing_heart:

ETA: When President Donald Trump called on governors to “dominate” protesters in the streets, Acevedo, a Cuban-born immigrant, and Houston’s first Hispanic police Chief, responded on national television with a message of his own: “Keep your mouth shut.”

Heck, it’s bad enough the GOP has to put up with Vice President Kamala Harris, who is not only “half Indian,” but “half Black,”as well.

Yes, but if this is done, how are cops going to be able to pull out their guns and shoot unarmed people? Besides, shooting people is police work!

I’m still reeling from the confirmation vote for Amb. Linda Thomas-Greenfield, a diplomat with impeccable credentials. There were 21 nays. Fucking 21.

They can practice on each other, if they must. Failing that, raids on the homes of the people who attacked the capitol would also be acceptable.
