"The Senate story is definitely a story"

Yeah, it's a story because when you look at the majority of the old folks home runaways that populate the Senate it's definitely news that anyone there is getting some nookie.

FFS.

Razor-cut, clean-shaven, fake-eyelash-and-high-heel wearing conservative white dudes and dudettes got nothing to say I need to hear. These Plastic People are nowhere near the kinds of people I hang with, and have zero credentials that would make me want to know what they "think". So screw them. Also, OT: I just read a HuffPost headline that younger voters are mad at Biden for Israel, inflation, and unkept promises. Right younger folks, so let's "vote our conscience" and get a fucking fascist for prez instead. Fucking idiots. I swear, if you haven't been around since the Ray-gun era, and you're not paying attention, i.e., only getting your news from the MSM, then you're ignorant about what the rw rubes are capable of, and actually planning.

In my very humble opinion, we-all need to quit speculating about what could occur in a second Dumph "administration." It. JUST. CANNOT. HAPPEN. Can we, as a people (looking at you, Atlantic magazine) knock it off and just starve the oxygen to this clownshow? Reality TV made this meshugga: real TV might shut it down. Maybe. Love, me :)

Hanky panky between consenting Steve and Frankie in one of the 11,000 rooms in labyrinthine Congress is clearly more of a national concern than Trump unfathomably returning to the White House. To be clear, NOTHING is more vital to America than electing a normal, capable person next year. 2024 is going to be a bumpy ride.

Trump is now quoting Hitler and still nobody in the GOP will stand up to him.

We are approaching our own November 1933 German election

Seriously, Congress has like 2700 rooms and offices. There are designated rooms there for that.

It’s worth remembering that Trump kept a book of Hitler’s speeches - My New Order - in his bedroom and read it repeatedly. This is according to the testimony of his late ex-wife, long before Trump was interested in being Hitler in real life.

I would counter that Dumph has always been interested in becoming Hilter (typo & it stays) in real life. Despite their differing life trajectories, they are both unmitigated losers capitalizing on depressed populations and thinly disguised racism/genocidal tendencies :)

He also wanted to do Paris Hilter.

Do you think they named her Paris as an homage to Hitler taking Paris?

Oh, I agree. He just hadn’t yet tried to BECOME Hitler when she testified. She had zero reason to make that up.

Was this the same day his 2nd immigrant wife gave a speech at NARA? I'd hoped her being there meant we were getting some of our stolen documents back, but I was wrong, she was just there to complain about how hard it is for immigrants to gain entry but apparently we don't get to see how exactly she did it. I would put money on that visa application containing questionable information.

Yes, I meant to attach this, it says we don't get to know what her area of expertise was. Also explains there can be letters of recommendation, in 2001 it is easy to imagine the names that might have slimed those signatures.

He’s not even being subtle about the point. He rattles off Latin America, Africa, and Asia as places that are giving us poison blood, but strangely not Europe, where his grandfather, mother, and two out of three of his wives came from.

Given that most Republicans are embracing Defendant "Vermin" Trump's overt turn to fascism, you would think they would know he has to go to prison now so he can write about his "struggles."

IMHO, the best way to use PAB's "blood" comments is this:

Go on all Spanish TV stations, radio stations and print media with ads that say, "The blood of immigrants - legal or otherwise - is the exact same blood. It's the same blood YOU and YOUR FAMILY have. When someone says America's blood is being poisoned, that person is talking about YOU and YOUR FAMILY. Believe him when he says it. {insert PAB video here} Why would you ever support someone who thinks YOU and YOUR FAMILY are poisoning the blood of America?"

It's truly inconceivable that the GOP gets even one Hispanic or Latino/a vote. Use PAB's "blood poisoning" comments to show them what PAB *really* thinks about them.

Those that came "legally" though are often pissed at the "illegal" ones. Like as if they are somehow different.

Exactly. In reality, when PAB says America's blood is being poisoned, he is talking about EVERY immigrant.

They can always find something bad-faith to latch on. "Poisoning our country" is a very very very big deal actually.

Show these clowns the consequences of their fascism. Each one teach one, get folks to the polls and VOTE.

So, if the "Ripping THREE WORDS from Donald Trump!" was even more direct: "Blacks are slaves!" or "Kill the Muslims!" or "Rape all women!" or "White only rule!", it would still be about the fact that it was JUST the three words, and not about the message that Trump was giving overall?

And honestly, I cannot believe that Trump hasn't slipped further to say some version of those statements. I honestly give him more credit for his (limited) mental acumen than some here, because completely senile Poppy wouldn't be able to contain himself, though Trump is getting closer and closer to the line.

I want to know what three words he meant. "Poisoning the blood of our country" is 6 words. So either he can't count, he meant part of that phrase, or he meant something else altogether.

He intended to use 14 words - “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children” - but couldn’t remember that many.

Right?? I’ll say it again, the USA as a concept has always been diverse. And this landmass now known as the USA has been Spanish speaking longer than it’s been English speaking. I hate how these idiots think brown people didn’t exist until the mid 1960’s because they grew up watching Leave it to Beaver.
