If you want to know what MAGA Repubs care about, they've raised more $$ for David DePape's defense

I did read that prosecutors will be asking the judge to not release DePage on bail. I think the hearing is today==Tuesday






If you want to know what MAGA Republicans care about, they’ve raised more money for David DePape’s defense in 48hours than they raised to help the victims of the Mass Shooting in Raleigh four weeks ago.

While I won't be surprised, I want more confirmation that a tweet. As it appears this is single sourced with no confirmation and supporting evidence. While we've seen it before, it doesn't always mean it's true. Sh*tstains like Don Jr. saying repulsive stuff doesn't count because he's a sh*tstain.

Tom Scocca is a blue-check commenter on Twitter (maybe not for much longer, but that's another post). A few years ago, early in the former guy's administration, he posted that whenever you hear a rumor or early report about something bad in connection with the former guy, the full story turns out to be even worse.

.. insular group of family and friends, and right wing troll bots/social media (Russian in many cases) that
Speaker Pelosi was their enemy because she had a "liberal agenda." Speaker Pelosi's liberal agenda is
what she has PUBLICLY RUN ON, WAS ELECTED BY HER CONSTITUENTS TO DO, AND HAS WORKED FOR
ALL HER CAREER now people may disagree with her views but she has every right to do and say what she
did and does under our Constitution but it is the hate talkers and so on on the right that have made her a
target of their bile and hate.

In Ohio JD Vance has been running ads non stop linking Speaker Pelosi to Tim Ryan although after the
attack on Paul Pelosi he has deleted the picture of Speaker Pelosi which made her look old and ugly.

We have the solution and that is to vote and vote in massive #s.

.... way because they were "less human" then white people so it was OK to keep them as slaves
and that the Native Americans were "savages."

America was in a large part founded by religious racist extremists who were OK with slavery
and the genocide of the Native Peoples.

golden rule is that repetition sells. The same damn shit drilled in their empty brains day after day degrades the mind's ability to distinguish fact from fantasy. Dems drink blood from trafficked kids to stay young- in what universe do normal, rational people believe such nonsense. It's The Big Lie no different than the likes of Hitler with his dehumanization of Jews-blaming and demonizing them for all societal problems makes it much easier to justify mass deportation and extermination. I have little doubt that today's magats would heed the would be first in line to man the concentration camps. Christian Nationalism and white supremacy has replaced traditional American values of inclusion and equality and SCOTUS is at the forefront of legitimizing this evil movement.

How much money Democrats raised for legal costs of the guy that popped a cap in Scalise’s ass? That guy seems to be the go to for repug response of the assassination attempt of Pelosi.

US citizens have become so profoundly inhumane, violent, and fundamentally evil.

MAGATs are really no different than the Nazis that caused so much misery to humankind in the 1930's and 1940's.
