Count me in. My vet came home from the first sandbox war, and was sick, beyond repair, before he left the Desert Storm. He is 30 years later (!) determined to be 100% Disabled, T & P. It took us over twenty some years to fight for this. Actually, his disabilities add up to 250%, but the VA figures he is just as well useless at 100%, so no more compensation… I am so sorry for your son’s death. I hope you know that. And I will never stop fighting for these soldiers and vets. And I continue to my death fighting the DOD!

No kind word or pity, or remorse, for the dead who advocated for and supported this illegitimate series of Wars. The human toll of the Persian Gulf war — as many as 100,000 deaths , 5 million displaced persons and over $200 billion in property damage — ranks this conflict as the single most devastating event in the Middle East since World War I.

ETA - This may well change when we tally the deaths, property damage and displaced persons as a result of the War between Israel and the Palestinians. IMO, this will be even be a worse massacre.

That class of sociopaths copulates like rabbits. It’s kind of a hobby for them.

Which reminds me, I saw someone recently wearing a red ball cap that read “Bad Hair Day.”

Elon only procreates via IVF. Makes sure his genetic line is pure. I know nothing about hers.

And still demand an investigation because he would have won the other 1.5% if not for bamboo in the ballots or something.

I’m starting to think I’ll just vote for people who haven’t had affairs. I don’t know if Biden qualifies, but I’ll wager he does.

I hate to say this, but after Chris Christie turned them down, No Labels is still in search of a candidate…

Hear me out: Gary Busey. I’m not sure why, but I’d just really like to see what would happen.

You might find someone who has never set foot in DC and vote for them. But, once they are elected to office and ensconced there, it might be slim pickins. Joe, probably, in earlier years. Obama, nope, although only before he met Michelle. And Jimmy Carter? Only lusted in his heart…

Publicly avowing the Big Lie is the price of admission if you’re gonna work for the RNC.

Trump wants to be seen as The Godfather? I think so.

I suspect he revels in the image.

You are correct that RepubliQans for a generation screamed about Communist Thought Reform" or some version of that. That screaming theme was the RepubliQan “go to” and it rallied the rubes.

So, what has changed?

NOT ONE THING - except, “Communist Thought Reform” is old bullshit that doesn’t work anymore so they have moved on to some NEW bullshit. Now it’s “the border is wide open”, “election fraud is everywhere and the Democrats are stealing elections”, …

Except that Trump IS running again and is the RepubliQan’s chosen one. Now it gets nuanced. And as we have seen repeatedly, any possible crack in the legal fabric can be exploited from here to the moon and every RepubliQan in office, in the electorate, in the churches, and in the judicial system will back it 100%.

Seeing as 40% of REPUBLICANS believe the election was NOT stolen, I think this is the dumbest thing the Trump campaign could possibly do.

Trump lost by 7mil votes in 2020. He needs to WIN OVER voters, not continue to do things to drive then AWAY.

At least we don’t have to ask who’s running that campaign. Everything’s coming from the top down. And the Trump-owned RNC will follow suit.

And he’ll lose even more votes, added to those lost due to (at least one) criminal conviction.

Trump can’t even count on Dems who say Biden is too old. They are saying that, because they want Trump to lose. They aren’t going to vote for him.

A tyrant always needs an enemy; or else why would any of his followers need a strongman?

So IMO, “stop the steal” is much less about the election and much more about the tyranny they want to impose after. They need an enemy to move towards no matter the actual results of the election.
