Factio Republicana delenda est. As Cato the Elder so very aptly & presciently put it over 2175 years ago, the Republican Party must be destroyed. In point of fact, it is long past time to burn the Republican Party to the ground.

In all fairness to Mitch, hapless Democratic senators like Dick Durban, Joe Manchin & Kyrsten Sinema collaborated with Mitch in the de facto destruction of our democracy. Unwittingly, cluelessly and obsequiously.

Amen. Only then will their successors begin to take seriously their oaths of office and responsibilities to their fellow citizens. For the partisan corrupt six current so-called “justices“ who are members of the Trump cult, they are irredeemable. Punishment rather than attempted rehabilitation.

The Supreme Court justices who voted for this should be dropped off to Libya or Guyana!!! 🤬 Not permanently and not on the merits initially, of course. Just for now, & until such time as we can fully litigate the merits of them being dropped off to Libya or Guyana. But only until we have time to

Supreme Court lets quick deportations to third countries resume for now while it weighs Trump policy
The Supreme Court will allow President Donald Trump’s administration to continue deporting people to countries other than their own for now, while the justices consider whether the policy is legal.

Well, Trump was always of the mindset that after he is no longer in office it will no longer be his problem. Sadly, 78 million Americans presumably believed that kind of attitude was good enough to merit elevation to the Presidency, despite his myriad open & conspicuous flaws as a human being.

What a proud representative of the Republican Party Eric Schmitt has turned out to be. Quintessentially Republican. Clueless, obsequious, arrogant, ignorant, hypocritical, sycophantic entitled POS. Hard to conceive of a more prototypical Republican anywhere in the country, o/t Sen Cotton or Hawley

Show some respect – – – Use his correct title. He is, and should forever after be referred to as, the “Treasonous Orange Dotard.“ Trump has earned that moniker by his actions, and by the exalted status of his office.

And I would also like to point out that water is wet. Very wet. It’s about as wet as it could be. Much like Trump is about as outrageous and unrepentant a liar as he could be, at least according to the known laws of science. There are similarities between the two propositions noted above.

& a pedophile. You shouldn’t leave that one out. The fact that Trump is a pedophile is a matter of some considerable relevance. But clearly you were not wrong about everything else you said. I just don’t want some people going off and saying that Trump is only a rapist and a traitor, & nothing more

I’ve been saying that for more than 5 1/2 years now. Why everyone else has not been saying that for at least that long is stupefying. It’s hard for me to imagine what more the entirety of the Republican congressional caucus would have to do to earn the monitor “criminal co-conspirator accomplice”

It is very difficult to argue with that piece of shit Treasonous Orange Dotard when he says: “everything is going down.“ I’m feeling like that every single day. I’m really looking forward to the day when Trump is one of the “everything’s” that are “going down.” I assume that Satan was his maker.

My take from the Smith hearings: To be a GOP senator today, you have to be a lying piece-of-shit, who puts loyalty to party & our lying piece-of-shit president, above their oaths to the Constitution & their obligations to tell the truth & do what rights to the American people! Repost if U agree

It is blatantly unfair to hold an idiot to the same standards as a normal, sentient human being. Everyone should simply back off of Senator Schmitt. Would we want any other idiot to be treated like that?

In defense of the six partisan, corrupt Republican “justices” of the U.S. Supreme Court, they really have no intention of letting umpiring get in their way of wholesale cheating to advance their own corrupt, morally degenerate partisan political ideology. Sadly. But they are consistent, to a fault.

If it weren’t for bad faith, this idiot Senator Schmitt would not have the slightest idea how to act. I can’t imagine that his staffers could possibly have a positive experience having to spend any time around him, or observing what he does or how he acts. What a moron! Very, very Sad!

Why are you trying to make Piers Morgan sad? He’s bound to throw a hissy fit over your pointing out this inconvenient truth. Nothing sets Piers off like the truth. Curiously, in Piers Morgan’s mind, nothing changed between 1937 and 1945. And somehow, nothing was prologue to all that followed.

Senator Eric Schmitt is a loathsome piece of work, admittedly. But he’s really no different from any other Republican senator.They all vote the same, every time on every issue. Some may rub us the wrong way more, but it’s a mistake to think any one is materially different than any other GOP Senator.

I respectfully disagree. If a person is a member of the House of Representatives, (s)he has a legal obligation to one’s constituents & to one’s oath of office. That other people may/will violate their own oath of office & legal obligation does not justify or excuse any House member’s own violation.

In all fairness, her statement assumes that the two-term politician had made a contribution. Her statement does not necessarily cover her particular circumstance in which, instead of making a contribution, she has made things progressively & demonstrably worse every year she has remained in office.

No, what I was referring to is you really don’t need any stinking national (or worldwide) statute or UN regulation to put people on trial as war criminals when they actually are war criminals. All you need is the desire to do so, and people with the guts to do so. That’s all we’re lacking right now.

And that is yet another reason why I point out from time to time that Trump is a fucking fraud and a thief. He is blatantly stealing from the American public. He should be stopped, but for the fact that the ad is so over-the-top outrageous that I’m confident it’s going to end up hurting Republicans.

I’ld like to point out that Germany was not a signatory to any treaty involving an International Criminal Court, but its war criminals were tried & sometimes executed whenever appropriate anyway. As our Supreme Court likes to note whenever it pleases them, jurisdiction is in the eye of the beholder.

What are you talking about?Israel is not laboring under/hindered by any ceasefire, as far as Israel is concerned. The normal rules do not apply it to that government, as far as that government is concerned. Rather, anyone who gets in the way of the Israeli government, including allies, is fair game.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?
