Had a stroke in 68 I believe (fell off his chair as they said at the time), died in 70. The revolution was more about ending the colonial war than democracy, but some military officers went for democracy, and that's what we got...

Ah, the famous message of Christ: Kill Those Motherfuckers Hard and Slaughter Their Children.

Once again I note they have One Book and should read it.

Remember when they used to have huge, gooey crush on Reagan? When was the last time we heard his name from Repub lips?

why is Poser still a thing? I guess it is that he's an unabashed loudmouth who doesn't mind being proven wrong so many times and got someone to breed with him to make babby loudmouths

Jesus. Is there not left an old 4chan/Breitbart troll that doesn't have a 'show'?

"... autarky ..."

I have noticed that RWNJs, ever alert to saving time, love to find ways to say things using the least possible number of syllables.

In recent years the word 'woke' has been appropriated to label people who had previously been labeled 'compassionate', 'empathetic', 'progressive, 'generous' and 'intellectual'. See how this works? Why should Lazy Shits be bothered with wrapping their ever-chattering mouths around BIG words when a single syllable will do?

Now the push is on to replace 'national economic self-sufficiency' with 'autarky'.

Autarky is a salient feature of any program to enable a fascist suspension of economic and political freedom in the name of efficiency. Since Hitler, Mussolini and Franco all managed to taint the word fascism with mass murder, repression and state control of ...everything...our home grown fascists must use dog whistles like 'autarky' to keep the real agenda under wraps and not scare people.

Don't be fooled; 'autarky' = Fascism.

The way Repubs "win" arguments is by changing what words mean.

I have a friend from Spain, and right after 9/11, with all the flags and calls for war, she told me, "I grew up under fascism, and it looked a lot like this."

Also, I'm not going to get into it, but...the past tense of the verb "lead" is spelled "led."

yeah, I was editing an affidavit written by a lawyer with that same error (I'm only editing it because anything allegedly said on my behalf should at least sound like me, an Indian American with an oversized vocabulary containing words whose meaning she may not even know.)

"...we should bring the full force of the State against offenders."

Says the party constantly screeching about "gubmit interference in our lives."

Please, SNL bring back the Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead bit.

Zap's avatar

"This week, noted Pizzagate idiot Jack Posobiec embarked upon a quest to rehabilitate the image of Franco," Probably should work on his own image first.

Franco. Sure. What other pathetic creep will they lionize next? Ghengis is Khan? Kirk’s Kahn? KAAAAAAAAHN!!!

Thank God that poisonous asp is dead. Spain has flourished since his demise. Make that because of his demise.

Looking at that screen shot of Posobiec, I did a double-take; for a second I thought it read "Worst Human Ever," until I looked more closely and saw that it really read "Host, Human Events.

Posobiec is soooo lucky I'm not the chyron writer.

Frankie just doesn't get the recognition he deserves for all his hard work. Glad to see that changing.

Glad to see he's still dead also, too.

It’s horrifying that somehow they’ve convinced anyone that they’re the “freedom” party.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

They also convinced people they’re the party of morality while worshiping the 🐈‍⬛ grabber.

Retired Superhero's avatar

They’re still clinging to the old “Moral Majority” canard, when they’re neither moral or a majority.

They're also not at all conservative. I am extremely liberal socially, but conservative economically. I don't define it the way they do. For a country to be conservative it must support and invest in its citizens. That means quality public education, universal healthcare, etc.
