“Every honest person on the Left” is pretty much a null set at this point. Honest people (say Gabbard and RFK) have already bailed on the Left. Anyone who continues to be on the Left after the parade of lies that have been exposed (Russian collusion, Covid is a threat to healthy young people, Biden is sharp as a tack and on and on) is at a minimum lying to themselves to keep their Potemkin reality from collapsing in on itself, and if they are public facing, lying to the public as well.
I see it from this point of view: the world of the Regime and their media propagandists is becoming engulfed, subsumed, and ultimately consumed by a larger world that understands and can explain their world completely and has found no more use for it.
And since their world is a subset of this newly emerging one, they have no ability to see it as anything other than strange and threatening. You can call it evolution or revolution, either way there is no way out for them but up.
I agree with most your statement but if I’m calling a spade a spade, the left bailed on Gabbard and RFK. For that matter bailed on anyone who considered themselves “old school” level headed Democrats like the ones I grew up with. Modern Democrats aren’t American imo.
One month after leaving the Democrats she signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Fox. During the 2022 election (months later) she outright switched every stance she once supported while being a democrat supporting GOP whose policy was polar opposite of those when she served. If that is not enough evidence, then you can go stfu.
Cant but we know the avgs are and they are in the millions for her status and fame. Juan Williams made 2 million a year and he was lower level star than her.
Not sure anyone really cares about your claims regardless as to the validity of same. Old GOP is evaporating and evolving into MAGA movement, which is now the party of the working class!!! Post all the hyperbole you want, but the unions, Gallop, voter registration, polls, and all else offer a dire prediction for your fellow Marixist Dem cult members! Wonder how much the alleged non partisan Clapper, Brennan, and McCabe received to spew their lies and propaganda? Perhaps we can add all of those that Antony Blinken sought to sign the feigned Russian disinformation correspondence regarding crackhead Hunter's laptop! The election interference and illegal actions from the left, MSM, the current administration and the prior Obama administration have turned this nation into a banana republic! The feckless and corrupt crooked Joe/Khameleon administration will go down in history as the worst ever on a myriad of metrics and issues! People are tired of the BS! Either be the frog who jumps out before it's too late, or join the American hating Marxists in defeat!! Guess we really could go on and on with this, but kind of pointless.
Many people dont want to dig or find truth. They are very comfortable believing people they want. This very easily creates bubbles and bubbles are very hard to pierce because still cling to the fantasy they are critical thinkers instead of the group minded thinkers. I told you why 2016 and 2020 was terrible because these bubble thinkers nominated them. MAGA supplanted old guard but created another bubble world just as impregnable to critical thinking as the people they attack. Also don't call them cults neither Democrats or GOP mainstream voters are cults but well-crafted (often self-induced) echo chambers or bubbles.
Not sure of your point or the points you are trying to convey! Regardless, I am well informed, well read, and all else, including as to that which I agree or disagree and that which is or has occurred in both political parties. When you have intelligence officials, who are not to be involved with operations within the country, aligned with and dictating the narrative with the DNC and MSM, all those that follow are members of that Marxist cult! I do not need to debate my pedagogy or credentials with you, but take heed to my prior comment regarding debating clueless people, i.e., "kind of pointless." All the best!
In November 2022, it was announced that Gabbard had signed a deal with Fox News as a paid contributor after years of being a frequent guest on several of their programs. She serves as a frequent guest and occasional host on shows such as The Five, Outnumbered, Hannity, Jesse Watters Primetime, Gutfeld! and more.
So, perhaps she had changed her point of view on many topics, shared that with Fox, and they signed her. Just because she didn't share them with you first does not mean there was anything sinister about it.
No, she does not. Her appearances on Fox are few and getting fewer. And she began moving away from the Demos as soon as they lost interest in her for not wanting to "play ball". As I said before, your chronology does not work: it is not as if she was a dutiful Lefty till she had a paid Burning Bush conversion experience in 2022.
Not true. I wouldn't vote for him if he picked Tulsi. The right choice was the young man who is a verbal Ninja and represents the millions of Americans who have worked their way out of poverty. Tulsi, like RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Bret Weinstein and Steve Kirsch are lifelong Progressive Parasites who have very strategically hijacked Conservative movements. Their stripes and allegiance will never change.
Gun control she even admitted she was very pro-gun control when she was in office
Cosponsors: H.R.1296 — 116th Congress (2019-2020)
Rep. Gabbard, Tulsi [D-HI-2]* 02/15/2019
She was on Fox saying all gun control is illegal
Climate change
In September 2017, Gabbard introduced the Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act ("OFF Act") as legislation seeking to transition the United States to clean renewable energy.
She flipped fully on that
She voted no on both measures 2017 to repeal ACA
She now supports repeal with Trump
Abortion
2016 when she was running for President
The very real possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned terrifies me. I am sick of women's bodies being used as pawns so politicians can score cheap political points at the expense of their freedom and safety. I am wholly committed to abortion remaining safe, legal and rare. We must commit to defending a woman's right to choose. I also support sensible codifying of Roe v Wade preventing third-trimester abortion except when there are grave or life-threatening health consequences for the mother.
If you are saying she flipped on energy because she did not support the Green New Deal, her issue with it centered around the lack of clarity with nuclear power and dealing with its waste. I don’t believe she is out yelling “drill baby drill.” On health care, she supports a single payer system so I would not characterize her position as being with Trump. From what I have read her position on abortion has evolved from against to supporting it to now somewhere in between. Just because she agrees with the Roe v. Wade repeal does not mean she is against abortion. She has consistently called for bans at 20 weeks. Regarding 2A, I would agree she has moved to the right on this issue.
I would hardly consider her a right winger. Some of her position changes began occurring before retiring from Congress and becoming a pundit. I believe she has generally been a centrist, only now I would characterize her as center-right versus center-left.
No, you're not proving that she's a sellout. You've proven that your panties are causing you a wedgie because Tulsi no longer supports the Communists at the DNC. She's not the only one who has walked away from the party of the Commies.
What's left to believe in from a party I had always disagreed with ideologically, but at least respected, to what the DNC has become which is full blown Marxist! This is not even debatable between anyone with a semblance of understanding as to same! You add to that the party's stance on late term abortion, taking away children from their parents and allowing for their mutilation and allowing for pedophile propaganda in our children's schools and classrooms, and all the other lies, cheating, and corruption, then in addition to the pending defeat of comrade Khameleon and commie tampon Tim, I pray the same occur for down ballot races as well!
That’s right on. If you notice, EVERYTHING modern left wing party is in favor of,all things that will most likely do irreversible damage to you physically or emotionally. Can I please get onboard?🙄 lunatics I tell ya
Save your self aggrandizing as it only demonstrates your insecurity. Moreover, you're out of your league. Maybe stick to posting memes from your mother's basement. Won't waste my time any further with childish and misguided hyperbole and histrionics!
You wouldn't know right from left as evidenced by your juvenile commentary!! OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE JUNIOR!!
Can you comprehend that, or do you have to run upstairs to ask your mom to explain it to you? You are a brainwashed cult member whether you're oblivious to that or not! What part of I don't want to waste my time did you fail to comprehend? AGAIN, I reiterate, stick to posting memes with the other children and those more akin to your standing and mental acuity, or lack thereof! Perhaps if you take the above one word at a time you might be more apt to understand. If not, again, run upstairs and ask your mother to help explain!
These are the same people who say Jewish women and girls weren’t raped by Hamas ….”believe who we want you to believe “ is the rally cry. I keep praying for karma. Preferably, the speedy kind .
Exactly my first thought as well. I also started to suspect the #MeToo was about maintaining a narrative, not caring about victims, when the media rallied behind Amber Heard regardless of what her trial revealed, which was that she was a psycho who cut Depp’s finger off. Yes, men are victims of abuse, too—I’ve personally known several men it’s happened to. But with the Left, you have to be the “right” kind of victim, otherwise you don’t count.
And members of the Israeli government argued it was legitimate for their soldiers to rape & torture alleged Hamas prisoners. Just a reminder that the line between good & evil runs through every human heart, a fact to which no faction on the face of the planet is immune.
These are the people who can’t define a woman and put the rights of kinky heterosexual males, above the rights of women, gay people and children. Their lies are nothing but ideological fantasies
“They believe that if they keep it out of the headlines, they can continue to trick the American people into voting for them one more time. But the truth has a funny way of bobbing to the surface like a dead body after a rainstorm. That’s the kind of thing you can only hide for so long.”
They only have to keep it quiet for less than 30 days then they get the last laugh again as they did with Tara Reid and Biden.
The Harris candidacy seems like another Democratic Party hoax, albeit the biggest hoax yet. How did she even become the nominee? No one knows; no one asks questions. Who could think Harris stands up for women? She slept with a powerful man for career advancement, she married a person who ruined his first marriage by screwing the nanny, she got her current job not based on merit but based on gender, and then she endangered women by letting criminals into the country. I would think many women would find all that nauseating. The Democrats’ hypocrisy is in their DNA.
Actually, everyone knows. Her name was on the ticket that received substantail campaign funds. Only the name on the ticket (Biden or Harris) could use that money. It's very simple. It isn't a conspiracy. It's money.
Question is, how did she get on the ticket in the first place? Why did 80+ year old Biden choose her (or who did choose her?) to be his VP? Someone chose her, knowing her pathetic background, figuring that Biden may not make it for another 4 years. I'm guessing it was Obama....
She was chosen by “The Party” in 2020, but then they couldn’t sell her. When she caved and dropped out, I thought something more was going on. The Party had pushed her so hard, even in the face of total public distaste. Why would she give up so easily?
When Biden was put forth and announced that he would “choose” a black woman as VP, I told my husband, “That’s it! That’s how they are going to rework the plan.” I never bought for a second that “the search was on!” The Party knew who they wanted, and that was that.
All the powers that be had to do was sit back and wait. It took a little longer than they thought, that’s all.
The whole nomination process was terrible Biden, RFK Jr both shouldn't have run based on their issues but an open election would have screwed the Democrats even harder setting up an easily 10-20 years of losses at least with just Harris losing they can do other things she just becomes the fall person the scapegoat.
I wish there was even a tiny chance you were right. They will never allow another 2016. These people have no limits - they can justify anything in service of the borg.
Oh for Heaven's sake, knock it off. It's not as though this is May, 1940, and we're England.
"They." G*ddamn it! I wish we could get over our terror of and intimidation by "them." Trump's internal polls are said to look very good, Harris is an idiot and Walz an embarrassment. And if Vance isn't Rookie of the Year, American politics has never had one.
There's a borg, a hive, whatever you want to call it, I agree. From what I understand, the Trump campaign fears its biggest liability is having assigned its voter turnout effort to Charlie Kirk's and Elon Musk's organizations. Maybe. If you watched Musk's interview with Tucker Carlson, you know he has a charming gallows humor about the situation, though. He's honest about his instinct that if the Dems win, they'll find a way to wrest control of X from him. He is, shall we say, motivated.
And even if the Dems steal the election or even win it honestly - the country is that vacuous - we must remember the glorious words of Matt Taibbi at the Save the Republic rally in D.C. ten days ago ( on YouTube if you didn't see it ):
He’s not exaggerating at all. Our ruling class is quite literally insane. Open borders, the demonization of “Whiteness!” and the war on meritocracy which is being replaced by Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes are just a few of the many ways these deranged fanatics have ruined our country. How can you be unaware of this?
You have to admit that "woke" has been effective. It drags those at the margins toward an opinion cohort that appears worthy by demonizing all who are not advocates of the victim-oppressor worldview. It validates the dreary life of most of its adherants by telling them that they are doing good, regardless whether they are or not. And it fulfills the human need to feel superior to somebody.
It is coming apart because it has given rise to a heirarchy of oppression and if you aren't near the top, able to check multiple boxes of non-privilege, you find yourself denigrated by those above you who can. The snake is eating its own tail with the inevitable result.
While woke scare tactics work for a moment and allow for the likes of the race baited suckers to donate and join Marxist cultist movements like BLM, or give in to the likes of LBGTQ, et al., like all else engendered by the alleged 'progressives,' they end up cannibalizing each other!
I totally agree and so does Glenn, one of our best by far journalists.
“What the democrats and the security state are willing to do to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected as president is literally unlimited. At the same time you have the United States government trying to define the Trump movement as an insurrectionary movement, as a criminal movement.”
I think the one group that is under estimated are the silent suburban women for Trump. There are millions of us. Many are life long Democrats who in the last 10 years or so ago can’t support all the lies and obvious talking points put out everyday by democrats. Their policies are ruining our communities and families. The Democrats are mostly so far left the party is
Unrecognizable. Instead of dealing with all the hateful comments you get if you support Trump we do it silently. So many women who were life long democrats are now independents and republicans. We don’t care about your personality , we care about policies. We do our own research . This article exactly how many of us feel.
Oh, I so hope you are correct, Teri, re there being “millions of us” — enough, please the gods, to turn the tide. And, of course, we understand that “mere” numbers in this horrific, lying, cheating, deadly period we face, may very well not ever be sufficient to ensure the health of our Nation.
Our safety is on the line, with the dangerous, violent illegal immigrants that have been allowed to come freely into our country. Not all of them are dangerous, but by the time you figure out who they are, it will be too late for you. And the equality women gained with Title 9 is being wiped away. Thanks, Biden/Harris. I know how much you care for women's rights.
A Democrat friend once texted me about Trump, “Doesn’t it bother you that there’s a rapist in the White House?” I texted back, “of course it does. You’re talking about Bill Clinton, right?”
yes, i'm currently reading "ask not" and whoa, nelly! it makes everything they are accusing trump (and possibly clinton, if you can believe it) of look super tame in comparison.
JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, has been suspected of having had Psychopathy. He is long gone, so he will not be tried and diagnosed in prison. Which is one of the few ways to do so.
How much of this Psychopathy passed on to his children? Ted Kennedy, on the basis of his behaviour during the Chappaquiddick incident, might have a large question mark on this score. The other siblings? The patterns manifest here and there.
Bravo!!! And I would not be surprised at all if Joe Biden had plenty of sexual harassment accusations during his 40+ years as a politician. We tax payers will never know though, because the politicians have that nice set up where the victim gets a big settlement (paid for by we, the taxpayers!!!) in exchange for their silence with a non disclosure agreement. Somehow we taxpayers get to pay for everything, don't we???
Great piece, Sasha. I am really tired of reading 'deeply flawed Trump'.
Every.One.Else. in Sodom on Potomac is exponentially worse than a man whose former wives say nothing negative about him and his five kids are pretty wonderful, self-sustaining, positive people not found on TMZ.
As it always is with the D's, the ends justify the means! They'll believe Anita Hill, but they won't believe Paula Jones. They'll believe Blasey Ford, but they won't believe Tara Reade. When the truth is inconvenient, go with the lie.
The whole Feminist Movement was only ever a cause inasmuch as it served the totalitarian goals. What goals? Destruction of the West.
It was never about women's rights, or even about women. It was simply the weaponizing of a large group as a political tactic. And most of them drank the feminist kool-aid.
In Communist-totalitarianism, "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution".
It’s shocking how much the media is blowing off such serious and disturbing behavior. I’m a Republican woman. I’ve experienced much worse, and have listened to people explain away the behavior of the man who abused me on stress, my behavior and anything else they could to support the man involved. I am pleading with Republican women (all women, really) everywhere to PLEASE not turn away from this Doug Emhoff story. A man who occasionally speaks in ways you find upsetting is NOT the same as a man who is abusive. Do not allow this man into our White House.
I agree with you. Of course this Emhoff business should be publicized widely: he impregnated and paid off the nanny? He slapped a woman so hard she whirled around at Cannes? And the excuse is supposed to be that he was DRINKING???? So that makes it okay?
What I want to know is what did Kamala know and when did she know it? Did he TELL her all this stuff before he married her? Did he tell anyone, or is it all coming out via GOP research ops? This is the kind of thing people are supposed to vet VP and senatorial candidates for, but they can't vet a husband, of course, unless they do so to decide whether the pair just have too much baggage. Biden insisted on a black woman for VP, any black woman ----- and she came right along with an abusive #MeToo hubby. I suppose he fooled her: I would never have married a man who did all that, if I knew about it.
For a party that calls itself 'Progressive', the Democrats have caused women to lose quite a bit of progress. And Kamala now says she wouldn't have changed anything, which must include their rewriting of Title 9? Instead of championing gender reassignment surgery, she should have been advocating for those hard fought gains won by the feminists of previous generations. Just saying...
Right, even Democrat men used to 'protect' women, but in the past 50 years they've learned to 'use' women instead. What an abomination -- women/mothers are absolutely the world's MOST VALUABLE PLAYER.
The Democrat Party just revamped the same tactics perfected after Reconstruction with the freed slaves. Delve into prime sources from this period in our history, and the lessons learned are pretty evident.
Trump has been a known womanizer, but I doubt he is a rapist. Many women are attracted to powerful and rich men, and for some men this is a real character weakness. Some wives put up with it, for many reasons. Harris is a very ambitious woman who also likes power and will say whatever is necessary to further her career or cause. Politicians and ideologues tend to be this way, 'flawed' is the kindest word I can choose. There are people who have politically conveiniet marriages, I don't know if Harris' is one of these.
I don't particularly like Harris, and certainly don't want her as president... especially for her policies. I don't like Trump's public persona much, but I hear he is very different when the camera is not on. We know his policies and we know his flaws. I would wish for 'better character' candidates, but we tend to get the final candidates that mirror the culture. We might want to take note of this.
I guess if you bring up the possibility of Trump's womanizing, then certainly Harris' ignoble actions affording her entry into politics is worthy of mentioning as well, i.e., Willie Brown.
i have to wonder if being married, whether for love or convenience, is the path required to advance through the political hierarchy. i mean, could it be possible that stacey abrams wasn't selected to be bidens vp candidate because she was single? she certainly ticked off the other boxes...
Abrams brought nothing positive or uncontroversial to the ticket. Yes, most Americans want a stable family picture. Why do you think Tim Scott got married?
hmmmm, interesting! i thought that abrams was one of their choices only because she was a black female democrat and biden promised a black female for v.p., but it feels like that was ages ago even though it really wasn't. the "covid-effect" regarding time (the youngsters tell me).
I hated Trump back in 2016 because I thought he was in the club with Hillary & the rest of them, so I set out to expose him as the predator I believed him to be to my conservative family members. I found no actual evidence supporting any of the allegations, but plenty to support the notion that Trump likes his women well into adulthood & willing- I ended up convincing myself instead of them!😂
And this is what you get when you reflexively vote “blue no matter who” for decades. Just wait until the “migrants” from “honor cultures” start slapping women around. At that point, you’d have to decide which party has the lower rung on the victim totem pole. And good luck with that.
Well, I have long said that these two totalitarian groups -- the WOKE and the "Religion of Peace" -- will support one another against their common scapegoat (the West). When the scapegoat has been crushed, they will turn to one another in a face-off for supremacy.
“Every honest person on the Left” is pretty much a null set at this point. Honest people (say Gabbard and RFK) have already bailed on the Left. Anyone who continues to be on the Left after the parade of lies that have been exposed (Russian collusion, Covid is a threat to healthy young people, Biden is sharp as a tack and on and on) is at a minimum lying to themselves to keep their Potemkin reality from collapsing in on itself, and if they are public facing, lying to the public as well.
I see it from this point of view: the world of the Regime and their media propagandists is becoming engulfed, subsumed, and ultimately consumed by a larger world that understands and can explain their world completely and has found no more use for it.
And since their world is a subset of this newly emerging one, they have no ability to see it as anything other than strange and threatening. You can call it evolution or revolution, either way there is no way out for them but up.
I agree with most your statement but if I’m calling a spade a spade, the left bailed on Gabbard and RFK. For that matter bailed on anyone who considered themselves “old school” level headed Democrats like the ones I grew up with. Modern Democrats aren’t American imo.
Moscow?
Neither Kennedy or Gabbard have a brain. Too much cash too few brain cells..
SO WHAT?
Tulsi is not honest but a sellout the money trails are very clear on where she turned on every stance, she once believed in.
Citations pls. Or just stfu
"HL3" is a troll who shows up here to spew nonsense.
agree
One month after leaving the Democrats she signed a multi-million-dollar deal with Fox. During the 2022 election (months later) she outright switched every stance she once supported while being a democrat supporting GOP whose policy was polar opposite of those when she served. If that is not enough evidence, then you can go stfu.
Show her Fox contract then.
The rest of your comment is balderdash.
She did sign with Fox but HL3 is under the delusion that they are conservative.
Hogwash as well.
Cant but we know the avgs are and they are in the millions for her status and fame. Juan Williams made 2 million a year and he was lower level star than her.
So...nothing to see here then. Wonder what Psaki signed for @ MSNBC?
And again, the 'switching' stuff is balderdash.
Not sure anyone really cares about your claims regardless as to the validity of same. Old GOP is evaporating and evolving into MAGA movement, which is now the party of the working class!!! Post all the hyperbole you want, but the unions, Gallop, voter registration, polls, and all else offer a dire prediction for your fellow Marixist Dem cult members! Wonder how much the alleged non partisan Clapper, Brennan, and McCabe received to spew their lies and propaganda? Perhaps we can add all of those that Antony Blinken sought to sign the feigned Russian disinformation correspondence regarding crackhead Hunter's laptop! The election interference and illegal actions from the left, MSM, the current administration and the prior Obama administration have turned this nation into a banana republic!

Either be the frog who jumps out before it's too late, or join the American hating Marxists in defeat!! Guess we really could go on and on with this, but kind of pointless.

Not sure of your point or the points you are trying to convey! Regardless, I am well informed, well read, and all else, including as to that which I agree or disagree and that which is or has occurred in both political parties. When you have intelligence officials, who are not to be involved with operations within the country, aligned with and dictating the narrative with the DNC and MSM, all those that follow are members of that Marxist cult! I do not need to debate my pedagogy or credentials with you, but take heed to my prior comment regarding debating clueless people, i.e., "kind of pointless." All the best!
She's still anti-war, which has been her primary principle since she first ran for Congress.
one issue....
Fox has many, MANY, unpaid contributors. Always has. And many of them are not only prominent but appear on the network over long periods of time.
Except they admitted she is paid
Deadline
In November 2022, it was announced that Gabbard had signed a deal with Fox News as a paid contributor after years of being a frequent guest on several of their programs. She serves as a frequent guest and occasional host on shows such as The Five, Outnumbered, Hannity, Jesse Watters Primetime, Gutfeld! and more.
So, perhaps she had changed her point of view on many topics, shared that with Fox, and they signed her. Just because she didn't share them with you first does not mean there was anything sinister about it.
No, she does not. Her appearances on Fox are few and getting fewer. And she began moving away from the Demos as soon as they lost interest in her for not wanting to "play ball". As I said before, your chronology does not work: it is not as if she was a dutiful Lefty till she had a paid Burning Bush conversion experience in 2022.
Thank you for making my point.
Love listening to her! So smart and she backs up her conclusions! Why did she get put on watch list anyhow?
Tulsi for Secretary of Defense.
That is where I disagree with Biden there was no need of it just spite and animosity.
Biden is all about spite. A weak man. See Trump persecutions nationwide. They all went to the White House for direction.
Should have been Trump's VP pick. He'd be up 5 to 7 points if she were.
Not true. I wouldn't vote for him if he picked Tulsi. The right choice was the young man who is a verbal Ninja and represents the millions of Americans who have worked their way out of poverty. Tulsi, like RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Bret Weinstein and Steve Kirsch are lifelong Progressive Parasites who have very strategically hijacked Conservative movements. Their stripes and allegiance will never change.
It's the other way around...Tulsi left the party first. The money followed her.
Clearly you know very little about her.
The problem is when she magically flipped on almost everything she stood for in congress when she got her job at Fox.
What positions has she magically flipped on? Please share a couple...
Gun control she even admitted she was very pro-gun control when she was in office

Dude, when you're in a hole stop digging.
Nope I am proving my point on that sellout part you cant deal with it.
Not! Proving your age and lack of an intelligible worldview or commentary worthy of anything but fodder for laughs!
No, you're not proving that she's a sellout. You've proven that your panties are causing you a wedgie because Tulsi no longer supports the Communists at the DNC. She's not the only one who has walked away from the party of the Commies.
What's left to believe in from a party I had always disagreed with ideologically, but at least respected, to what the DNC has become which is full blown Marxist!

You add to that the party's stance on late term abortion, taking away children from their parents and allowing for their mutilation and allowing for pedophile propaganda in our children's schools and classrooms, and all the other lies, cheating, and corruption, then in addition to the pending defeat of comrade Khameleon and commie tampon Tim, I pray the same occur for down ballot races as well!
That’s right on. If you notice, EVERYTHING modern left wing party is in favor of,all things that will most likely do irreversible damage to you physically or emotionally. Can I please get onboard?🙄 lunatics I tell ya
I suspect you always hated them and even lied on the respect part but now its I cant even tolerate them anymore.
Save your self aggrandizing as it only demonstrates your insecurity. Moreover, you're out of your league. Maybe stick to posting memes from your mother's basement. Won't waste my time any further with childish and misguided hyperbole and histrionics!
Shitposting when you know I am right.
You wouldn't know right from left as evidenced by your juvenile commentary!! OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE JUNIOR!!
Can you comprehend that, or do you have to run upstairs to ask your mom to explain it to you? You are a brainwashed cult member whether you're oblivious to that or not! What part of I don't want to waste my time did you fail to comprehend? AGAIN, I reiterate, stick to posting memes with the other children and those more akin to your standing and mental acuity, or lack thereof! Perhaps if you take the above one word at a time you might be more apt to understand. If not, again, run upstairs and ask your mother to help explain!
Baloney
Whatever you think
Honestly curious, which positions are you specifically talking about?
She flipped on Climate change, Roe V Wade ruling, Gun Control to which she had massive bill sponsored by her in her time in office.
These are the same people who say Jewish women and girls weren’t raped by Hamas ….”believe who we want you to believe “ is the rally cry. I keep praying for karma. Preferably, the speedy kind .
Exactly my first thought as well. I also started to suspect the #MeToo was about maintaining a narrative, not caring about victims, when the media rallied behind Amber Heard regardless of what her trial revealed, which was that she was a psycho who cut Depp’s finger off. Yes, men are victims of abuse, too—I’ve personally known several men it’s happened to. But with the Left, you have to be the “right” kind of victim, otherwise you don’t count.
Same media that also didn’t expose guys like Epstein, Weinstein, Emhoff.
What they are saying is worse than that. They are saying that raping Jewish women is justified and understandable! Trump is Karma!
And members of the Israeli government argued it was legitimate for their soldiers to rape & torture alleged Hamas prisoners. Just a reminder that the line between good & evil runs through every human heart, a fact to which no faction on the face of the planet is immune.
I pray the karma works fast and vicious too
These are the people who can’t define a woman and put the rights of kinky heterosexual males, above the rights of women, gay people and children. Their lies are nothing but ideological fantasies
as the John Lennon song says "Instant Karma's gonna get you"
Re last paragraph:
“They believe that if they keep it out of the headlines, they can continue to trick the American people into voting for them one more time. But the truth has a funny way of bobbing to the surface like a dead body after a rainstorm. That’s the kind of thing you can only hide for so long.”
They only have to keep it quiet for less than 30 days then they get the last laugh again as they did with Tara Reid and Biden.
So blatant and shameless by media lapdogs.

The Harris candidacy seems like another Democratic Party hoax, albeit the biggest hoax yet. How did she even become the nominee? No one knows; no one asks questions. Who could think Harris stands up for women? She slept with a powerful man for career advancement, she married a person who ruined his first marriage by screwing the nanny, she got her current job not based on merit but based on gender, and then she endangered women by letting criminals into the country. I would think many women would find all that nauseating. The Democrats’ hypocrisy is in their DNA.
Actually, everyone knows. Her name was on the ticket that received substantail campaign funds. Only the name on the ticket (Biden or Harris) could use that money. It's very simple. It isn't a conspiracy. It's money.
Not buying it. The money could be returned and redonated. She instantly raised $300M when she "got" the nomination.
Question is, how did she get on the ticket in the first place? Why did 80+ year old Biden choose her (or who did choose her?) to be his VP? Someone chose her, knowing her pathetic background, figuring that Biden may not make it for another 4 years. I'm guessing it was Obama....
She was chosen by “The Party” in 2020, but then they couldn’t sell her. When she caved and dropped out, I thought something more was going on. The Party had pushed her so hard, even in the face of total public distaste. Why would she give up so easily?
When Biden was put forth and announced that he would “choose” a black woman as VP, I told my husband, “That’s it! That’s how they are going to rework the plan.” I never bought for a second that “the search was on!” The Party knew who they wanted, and that was that.
All the powers that be had to do was sit back and wait. It took a little longer than they thought, that’s all.
Yes, I bet you are right about all of that!! They probably knew back then that Biden was starting to show signs of cognitive decline.
The whole nomination process was terrible Biden, RFK Jr both shouldn't have run based on their issues but an open election would have screwed the Democrats even harder setting up an easily 10-20 years of losses at least with just Harris losing they can do other things she just becomes the fall person the scapegoat.
She isn’t going to BE in the White House after January.
I wish there was even a tiny chance you were right. They will never allow another 2016. These people have no limits - they can justify anything in service of the borg.
Oh for Heaven's sake, knock it off. It's not as though this is May, 1940, and we're England.
"They." G*ddamn it! I wish we could get over our terror of and intimidation by "them." Trump's internal polls are said to look very good, Harris is an idiot and Walz an embarrassment. And if Vance isn't Rookie of the Year, American politics has never had one.
There's a borg, a hive, whatever you want to call it, I agree. From what I understand, the Trump campaign fears its biggest liability is having assigned its voter turnout effort to Charlie Kirk's and Elon Musk's organizations. Maybe. If you watched Musk's interview with Tucker Carlson, you know he has a charming gallows humor about the situation, though. He's honest about his instinct that if the Dems win, they'll find a way to wrest control of X from him. He is, shall we say, motivated.
And even if the Dems steal the election or even win it honestly - the country is that vacuous - we must remember the glorious words of Matt Taibbi at the Save the Republic rally in D.C. ten days ago ( on YouTube if you didn't see it ):
"Motherfucker, I'm an American!"
“Oh for Heaven's sake, knock it off.”
He’s not exaggerating at all. Our ruling class is quite literally insane. Open borders, the demonization of “Whiteness!” and the war on meritocracy which is being replaced by Equity aka race based Equal Outcomes are just a few of the many ways these deranged fanatics have ruined our country. How can you be unaware of this?
You have to admit that "woke" has been effective. It drags those at the margins toward an opinion cohort that appears worthy by demonizing all who are not advocates of the victim-oppressor worldview. It validates the dreary life of most of its adherants by telling them that they are doing good, regardless whether they are or not. And it fulfills the human need to feel superior to somebody.
It is coming apart because it has given rise to a heirarchy of oppression and if you aren't near the top, able to check multiple boxes of non-privilege, you find yourself denigrated by those above you who can. The snake is eating its own tail with the inevitable result.
While woke scare tactics work for a moment and allow for the likes of the race baited suckers to donate and join Marxist cultist movements like BLM, or give in to the likes of LBGTQ, et al., like all else engendered by the alleged 'progressives,' they end up cannibalizing each other!
Totalitarians always eat their own, eventually.
Maybe. But in the meantime, they also destroy a lot of innocent people along their way.
I agree with both of you.
“These people have no limits”
I totally agree and so does Glenn, one of our best by far journalists.
“What the democrats and the security state are willing to do to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected as president is literally unlimited. At the same time you have the United States government trying to define the Trump movement as an insurrectionary movement, as a criminal movement.”

PRAYERS!
I think the one group that is under estimated are the silent suburban women for Trump. There are millions of us. Many are life long Democrats who in the last 10 years or so ago can’t support all the lies and obvious talking points put out everyday by democrats. Their policies are ruining our communities and families. The Democrats are mostly so far left the party is
Unrecognizable. Instead of dealing with all the hateful comments you get if you support Trump we do it silently. So many women who were life long democrats are now independents and republicans. We don’t care about your personality , we care about policies. We do our own research . This article exactly how many of us feel.
Oh, I so hope you are correct, Teri, re there being “millions of us” — enough, please the gods, to turn the tide. And, of course, we understand that “mere” numbers in this horrific, lying, cheating, deadly period we face, may very well not ever be sufficient to ensure the health of our Nation.
Our safety is on the line, with the dangerous, violent illegal immigrants that have been allowed to come freely into our country. Not all of them are dangerous, but by the time you figure out who they are, it will be too late for you. And the equality women gained with Title 9 is being wiped away. Thanks, Biden/Harris. I know how much you care for women's rights.
Bravo… my wife is among them. And she and many others would never say that to a pollster. Trump wins in a landslide.
A Democrat friend once texted me about Trump, “Doesn’t it bother you that there’s a rapist in the White House?” I texted back, “of course it does. You’re talking about Bill Clinton, right?”
i love how jfk is always "forgotten" when this subject comes up, too.
Hah! I was just about to mention JFK here. From inside accounts since the 60s, he had what might be called a hyper-sexuality problem.
yes, i'm currently reading "ask not" and whoa, nelly! it makes everything they are accusing trump (and possibly clinton, if you can believe it) of look super tame in comparison.
JFK's father, Joseph Kennedy, has been suspected of having had Psychopathy. He is long gone, so he will not be tried and diagnosed in prison. Which is one of the few ways to do so.
How much of this Psychopathy passed on to his children? Ted Kennedy, on the basis of his behaviour during the Chappaquiddick incident, might have a large question mark on this score. The other siblings? The patterns manifest here and there.
Even with his very bad back!!! Amazing. Wonder what kind of drugs he got for that??
Steroids. He had Addison’s disease which is adrenal shut down.
Just what I had been wondering, Marilyn. As in, "What about that bad back of his?"
Bravo!!! And I would not be surprised at all if Joe Biden had plenty of sexual harassment accusations during his 40+ years as a politician. We tax payers will never know though, because the politicians have that nice set up where the victim gets a big settlement (paid for by we, the taxpayers!!!) in exchange for their silence with a non disclosure agreement. Somehow we taxpayers get to pay for everything, don't we???
With the exception of Tara Reed no doubt.
Great piece, Sasha. I am really tired of reading 'deeply flawed Trump'.
Every.One.Else. in Sodom on Potomac is exponentially worse than a man whose former wives say nothing negative about him and his five kids are pretty wonderful, self-sustaining, positive people not found on TMZ.
"honest Democrat" is an extinct species..Outbred by the dishonest Democrats.
As it always is with the D's, the ends justify the means! They'll believe Anita Hill, but they won't believe Paula Jones. They'll believe Blasey Ford, but they won't believe Tara Reade. When the truth is inconvenient, go with the lie.
The Machine does not care about women, it cares about maintaining power. Women are only a cause inasmuch as they serve that goal.
The whole Feminist Movement was only ever a cause inasmuch as it served the totalitarian goals. What goals? Destruction of the West.
It was never about women's rights, or even about women. It was simply the weaponizing of a large group as a political tactic. And most of them drank the feminist kool-aid.
In Communist-totalitarianism, "The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution".
Politics is an uncaring machine its goal is to win.
#metoo was just politics like BLM. BLM when WLM says so. Black Live Matter when the White Liberal Media say so.
It’s shocking how much the media is blowing off such serious and disturbing behavior. I’m a Republican woman. I’ve experienced much worse, and have listened to people explain away the behavior of the man who abused me on stress, my behavior and anything else they could to support the man involved. I am pleading with Republican women (all women, really) everywhere to PLEASE not turn away from this Doug Emhoff story. A man who occasionally speaks in ways you find upsetting is NOT the same as a man who is abusive. Do not allow this man into our White House.
I agree with you. Of course this Emhoff business should be publicized widely: he impregnated and paid off the nanny? He slapped a woman so hard she whirled around at Cannes? And the excuse is supposed to be that he was DRINKING???? So that makes it okay?
What I want to know is what did Kamala know and when did she know it? Did he TELL her all this stuff before he married her? Did he tell anyone, or is it all coming out via GOP research ops? This is the kind of thing people are supposed to vet VP and senatorial candidates for, but they can't vet a husband, of course, unless they do so to decide whether the pair just have too much baggage. Biden insisted on a black woman for VP, any black woman ----- and she came right along with an abusive #MeToo hubby. I suppose he fooled her: I would never have married a man who did all that, if I knew about it.
For a party that calls itself 'Progressive', the Democrats have caused women to lose quite a bit of progress. And Kamala now says she wouldn't have changed anything, which must include their rewriting of Title 9? Instead of championing gender reassignment surgery, she should have been advocating for those hard fought gains won by the feminists of previous generations. Just saying...
Right, even Democrat men used to 'protect' women, but in the past 50 years they've learned to 'use' women instead. What an abomination -- women/mothers are absolutely the world's MOST VALUABLE PLAYER.
The Democrat Party just revamped the same tactics perfected after Reconstruction with the freed slaves. Delve into prime sources from this period in our history, and the lessons learned are pretty evident.
Trump has been a known womanizer, but I doubt he is a rapist. Many women are attracted to powerful and rich men, and for some men this is a real character weakness. Some wives put up with it, for many reasons. Harris is a very ambitious woman who also likes power and will say whatever is necessary to further her career or cause. Politicians and ideologues tend to be this way, 'flawed' is the kindest word I can choose. There are people who have politically conveiniet marriages, I don't know if Harris' is one of these.
I don't particularly like Harris, and certainly don't want her as president... especially for her policies. I don't like Trump's public persona much, but I hear he is very different when the camera is not on. We know his policies and we know his flaws. I would wish for 'better character' candidates, but we tend to get the final candidates that mirror the culture. We might want to take note of this.
I guess if you bring up the possibility of Trump's womanizing, then certainly Harris' ignoble actions affording her entry into politics is worthy of mentioning as well, i.e., Willie Brown.
Indeed. Kamala has been falling upward her entire career.
Excellent.
i have to wonder if being married, whether for love or convenience, is the path required to advance through the political hierarchy. i mean, could it be possible that stacey abrams wasn't selected to be bidens vp candidate because she was single? she certainly ticked off the other boxes...
Abrams brought nothing positive or uncontroversial to the ticket. Yes, most Americans want a stable family picture. Why do you think Tim Scott got married?
Abrams was never considered. Harris dropped out of the race BECAUSE she was promised the VP if she did so.
The Party chose her. Period.
hmmmm, interesting! i thought that abrams was one of their choices only because she was a black female democrat and biden promised a black female for v.p., but it feels like that was ages ago even though it really wasn't. the "covid-effect" regarding time (the youngsters tell me).
I hated Trump back in 2016 because I thought he was in the club with Hillary & the rest of them, so I set out to expose him as the predator I believed him to be to my conservative family members. I found no actual evidence supporting any of the allegations, but plenty to support the notion that Trump likes his women well into adulthood & willing- I ended up convincing myself instead of them!😂
And this is what you get when you reflexively vote “blue no matter who” for decades. Just wait until the “migrants” from “honor cultures” start slapping women around. At that point, you’d have to decide which party has the lower rung on the victim totem pole. And good luck with that.
Well, I have long said that these two totalitarian groups -- the WOKE and the "Religion of Peace" -- will support one another against their common scapegoat (the West). When the scapegoat has been crushed, they will turn to one another in a face-off for supremacy.
It's the way totalitarianism operates.
Falsely & knowingly accusing an opponent of abuse when they're innocent (Brett Kavanaugh) is a worse crime than the actual act of abusing women.
I wouldn’t go that far but it is bad.
Agreed. How does that relate to what I wrote?
