    No. Taylor Swift is a covert Chinese spy working to get Joe Biden elected.

    in 2008, thanks to the 527 group, Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, W had "swiftboated" his way to re-election.
    this year, according to some, should Biden be re-elected, it can also be attributed to swiftboating, Travis Kelce's girl friend that is

    Ex-GOP Strategist Has A Stunningly Scathing Response To Latest Republican Loss

    Former GOP strategist Stuart Stevens pulled no punches about what’s plaguing the Republican Party following its latest election loss. The repeated defeat of Trump endorsed candidates amounts to just another sign of

    the party’s decay since the taking of power by Donald Trump, who, amid his ongoing, relentless pursuit
    of control, is now seeking to install his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee.​

    he posted
    .... Is there really any question why this party is losing?​

    I particularly liked the "higher education is a gateway drug to socialism" line.

    I disagree. It's the party of people that would have that nail in the head and refuse to go to the ER because a random internet post told them that they can just leave the nail there and that it's not really dangerous...and that the tetanus shot is more dangerous than having a rusty nail in your head. Then they die and their family blames it on President Biden.

    Word on the Street is that learning “data science” is exactly the same as worshipping Satan.

    Trump, the indicted criminal and con from New York City pushing his fear mongering again.
    It's the migrants!!!!! Meanwhile, across the Midwest and Texas American children are being gunned down by American citizens at parades, church, and in schools.
    The raging sociopath.

    The GOP party is such a a bunch of lying hate inciters. It's disgusting. Fear mongering and lies.

    Barely a day after the shooting, right-wing politicians and pundits lined up to claim Moreno was a deranged trans woman, based only on now-debunked evidence. Missouri Rep. Josh Hawley wrote Moreno was “a transgender, pro-Palestine radical,” and Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene simply called her “a trans from El Salvador.” Donald Trump Jr. and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz also boosted the claims on social media this week.



    Forget the thousands of others. It's those 3 trans shooters you need to fear!!!

    I thought you only got into trouble with a live boy or a dead girl.

    I'm going to say something to those who argue that "both sides" are so bad and that neither side cares about the little guy and etc.. No doubt Biden is very flawed and no doubt the Democrats have a lot of problems. I don't think anyone seriously believes otherwise.

    That said we know that Trump has not only said that he wants to undermine our Constitutional system but has tried to. Many members of his own previous Administration have said so and we see it in things like false electors and trying to get secretary of states to "find" him enough votes to win. For those claiming both sides are so bad do you think if Trump succeeds that will make things better for everyday Americans?

    I've debated before with progressives about how frustrated they are with things like the separation of powers, the bicameral legislation and other things that do stymie change. That is a feature and not a bug of the US Constitution. Those unwieldy and frustrating features also prevent us from becoming an autocracy and other than the civil war have kept the country mostly peaceful with most importantly peaceful transitions of power. Do we really want to risk that framework because we are don't like things like US foreign involvement, massive spending, a lot of illegal immigrants or because Disney had a black mermaid?

    All of those issues we can address within our Constitutional framework. Once that is undermined there are few options for change.
