I'm pretty sure Mark Meadows flipped on Cheeto Dick.

Trump was told to stop communicating with him a few days ago.  Then he gets a no-knock warrant at his house and now just a while ago Scott Perry has his farging phone seized. 

Holy shtein this is amazing right now.

In between the primal screams and Pearl clutching of the MAGAts

The local level MAGAts are still farging shtein up.

Local school district now requires parental permission before kids can check out books from their libraries

My favorite thing is how the news outlets are playing into this as somehow a bad thing for dems because of his base and enraging the right.

And by favorite I mean infuriating.

Cater to the screaming toddler so they stop screaming, as if their default mood isn't frothy indignation over the most trivial bullshtein.

Republicans long ago figured out that they can neutralize journalism with extremism.  They take advantage of the moral foundation of the concept--fairness and objectivity--by behaving so badly that any report on their work either wilts into treating their view as legitimate, or braves an accurate account, in which case they howl about bias.  The more extreme they get, the less power journalism has to check it.

Dismantling public education was crucial groundwork for this..the fewer people who can think critically, the more you can draft into fascism.

More GOP stepping on their own dicks - several years ago in response to the "but her emails" stuff none other than Cheeto Dick himself signed a law that makes removal of such documents a felony. Love it.

And yes, Dio, the public education dismantling has been the key. Dumb down the masses so they don't know what they're being fed. It is glaring when you hear the MAGAts speak - just truly astounding. Combine that with an inundation of "news" like Fox and then social media and you have some really dumb farging people.

My girl shows me videos on TikTok where they ask people simple questions like "what state is Utah in" or "how many states are there" and you wouldn't believe the responses.

Particularly the poor white people living in trailer parks with barely two nickels to scratch together consistently vote again their interests. The people they vote for hate them and do not support programs or legislature to assist them - but they still vote for them. Pure idiocy.

Cheeto dick plead the 5th today in his civil case in NY.

I'm no lawyer so someone correct me but I didn't think pleading the 5th works in civil cases like it does in criminal.

[Diomedes]

IANAL either but I think you can take "pleading the fifth" as incriminating factor in civil cases, whereas you cannot in criminal cases

[PhillyPhreak54]

Beto! My man!

Democrats nationwide would do well to hear that roar of approval and play ball accordingly.

An armed deplorable shot at the fbi building in Cincinnati. The civil war militias are gearing up. I'm openly rooting for the deplorables to take action so our military can put them down like dogs.
