    I don't know if it's Mother's pick up or not, but I would assume so with the gaggle of hog tied homosexuals in the bed.

    I hope he DOES manage to initiate a probe into Fauci through an Attorney General. I know he's counting on the notion that he won't (and will complain about it), and even if an AG probe does take place and produces no results, he'll still manage to find a way to complain. It's always the same: the system is purportedly riddled with deep-state actors, unless the Republicans achieve their desires.

    I thought at one time he was a Libertarian - now he wants to incarcerate an 82 year old retired doctor?

    Damn those gay friendly WOKE businesses! I'm not eating Kellogg's corn flakes because those pictures on the box are sexualized. I demand straight athletes on that box. If they want to hire gays they better damn well not be using diversity hiring in my country!

    Ex-Trump aide Stephen Miller's legal group files complaint against Kellogg's 'woke' programs

    In the wake of the Bud Light ridiculousness, this seems like an excellent way to manipulate the stock market

    Create b.s. controversy about wokeness
    Knuckledraggers get outraged and boycott stuff
    Short the stock
    Profit

    It doesn't amaze me that one of the political parties lost their way for a short period of time - what surprises me is that it is soon going to be a decade that the Republicans have been behind Trump and the devotion to him by Republicans in office only increases.

    Traitor Ted, the butt kissing Trump defender of prosecuting a white criminal. Hey Ted, your integrity and morals are despicable. You stand for nothing worth bragging about you cowardly power hungry Karen. Maybe you should be wondering more why your party supports a sociopathic lying criminal instead of crying about him being indicted.

    "American democracy simply cannot function without two equally healthy and equally strong political parties. So today, in my view, there is no Republican party..."

    "... to counter the Democratic party in the country. And for that reason, American democracy is in grave peril.... A political party is a collection and assemblage of individuals who share a set of beliefs and principles and policy views about the United States of America. Today, there is no such shared set of beliefs and values and principles or even policy views as within the Republican party for America."

    Said Judge Michael Luttig, quoted in "'No Republican party’ in US today, says anti-Trump conservative judge J Michael Luttig, who advised Mike Pence not to try to overturn 2020 election, says former president has destroyed GOP" (The Guardian).

    Trump, he said, was a danger “more so today” than last year, when Luttig testified to the House January 6 committee.

    I can't help reading between the lines and seeing Luttig's outrage that Trump broke the system in which the elite were thinking up the beliefs and values and principles and policy views and ordinary people were stuck with what was handed to them. It's very nice for the elite to have the subjective experience of a "shared set of beliefs" — to feel affirmed by this appearance of widespread agreement with their ideas. Trump activated the people who didn't really share that set of beliefs, and now the elite is having the loathsome subjective experience of feeling pressure from those insubordinate people. But the elite will go on and on pretending that all they are seeing is that dangerous man Trump. He must be stopped, and America must be saved, by getting back to that old system that felt so right.

    This is such a quaint, bread-and-butter ad full of old-fashioned mischaracterizations that I can't even be mad about it. It's a throwback to the days when the leading candidate wasn't a narcissistic demigod whose entire platform is "ME ME ME"
