offered up a mild criticism of Dumbya in front of a foreign audience?
Now we have the President of the United States openly calling on two foreign governments, one of which is an implacable adversary of this country, to launch an investigation of an American citizen; and righty hasn't said a fucking thing in opposition.
The next Republican who goes off on a sanctimonious rant about patriotism and what it means to be a "good" American should be horsewhipped, and then staked to the ground in an enclosure filled with hyenas suffering from amoebic dysentery.
Fuck 'em.
Fuck 'em ALL.

(25,410 posts)The Right Wing has nothing to do with policy issues.
It is all about exploiting emotions.

(14,689 posts)When it was Republicans shouting then how no President should be criticized on foreign soil. And this was from private citizens!
The most frustrating thing about fighting against Trumpism, is his followers wearing blinders 24/7 and can be as hypocritical as much as they want in order to "win" an argument. Not unlike trying to argue with an evangelical Christian about the existence of God, and they answer by opening the Bible and quoting scripture to back up their argument.

(20,591 posts)to place fire ants in that enclosure where they're staked down as well. "Hyenas suffering from amoebic dysentery" are pretty darned good, but we shouldn't let those GOP bastards off too easily.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head though.

(586 posts)Your number seems a little low. We know he tried to do it with Ukraine, Australia & China. And I think I heard somewhere that he also tried the UK but since he has pretty much failed to treat them like a friend, it's doubtful that they would even consider doing that!
But I get your point. It's pretty silly to say that singers can't criticize our govt on foreign soil but they see nothing wrong with what's happening now! Still, it's not the first time they've seemed hypocritical & I'm sure it won't be the last!
Plus, they have no idea what even constitutes patriotism!! I have no intention of being lectured on patriotism by the leader of their party who tries to get foreign leaders to steal another election for him or who cozies up to white supremacist racists!

(11,869 posts)Is there really such a thing as The Right anymore?
If so how can you define them? What do they, and do they not, believe in?
Mostly:
1) Believe conspiracy theories.
2) Do not believe in truth.
3) Do not believe in Science. (But do use technology derived from Science).
4) Believe in anything which owns the Libs (how this accomplishes anything useful, I do not know).
5) Believe in the infallibility of rich, old, white men...
