Expose all you want to. Unless you get out and vote them out or keep them from getting in NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. We must vote like the life of our democracy depends on it because it does. We must vote to our nation out of the grimy hands of Putin and his supporters. Ukraine is US. We are Ukraine. See this. Understand this.

The GOP, even those who pretend to just be "conservative" and not fringe, they don't give a shit what happens so long as they remain in power and the people they hate suffer. This and this alone is their motivation.

If we don't match their energy with positive energy, if we do not fight as hard as they fight, if we do not OUT MATCH THEIR VOTE, we lose. We lose forever. It's as simple as that!

russian type meme - putin creating immigration surges - like 5 mil Ukrainian refugees flooding europe, where rw politicians can blame them for crime, etc, just like here - bringing in ebola, drugs, etc

the kremlin can feed to talk radio all over central America that the dem president is going to open the border and everyone forms caravans.........

Sometimes I have to laugh in order to keep from crying.

Few will ever hear about this, even fewer will care. Such is the world that republicans have so fouled it's difficult to muddle through it anymore.

I was referring to the "liberal" media Americans are exposed to 24/7 (like the right-wingnuts think we're exposed to). Regular Americans won't hear a word about it, and that's what depresses me.

G.O.P. Memo Shows Road Map for Attacking Democrats on Immigration
A document prepared by Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio shows how Republicans plan to weaponize the issue of immigration as part of their midterm campaign strategy.
The memo — which is marked “CONFIDENTIAL — FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY” — repeatedly insinuates that immigrants could be sex offenders, highlighting a handful of arrests at the southwestern border and of Afghan evacuees. It also misrepresents a Biden administration policy designed to humanely enforce immigration laws as one that would bar law enforcement from surveilling sex offenders near schoolyards.

Question for you JimGym, Does Maddison let you watch as his aide gives him blow and handjobs?

Just curious since you appear to be a watcher/looker.


I hope this will be your last year in office and the rest of your life is spent behind steel bars!
