Cyrano's JournalOne of America's two major parties seems intent on destoying America
COVID has killed over one million Americans. It seems to me that Republicans represent a far more dangerous disease than COVID. They represent an "ideology" that can kill American democracy.
Every sane American must understand that the Republican Party is what our founders referred to as "domestic enemies."
Ordinarily, I would make a case for that previous sentence. But do I really have to? Anyone who doesn't see the danger of today's Republican Party, (and the danger of a large part of their base), doesn't "get it" and never will.
Until the current era, I didn't know that racism, bigotry, and outright hatred of "THE OTHER" outweighed self-interest. But the ignorance of Republican voters might just end up with the death of our freedoms, and the death of countless human beings. But then, the Republicans in charge would call those deaths "collateral damage." And, yes, that "collateral damage" thing means us.
Earth to Merrick Garland
I have never posted to a thread regarding Merrick Garland, or the DOJ, or Special Counsel, Jack Smith.
HOWEVER.
Do I really need to repeat anything that hasn't been said a million times here on DU, Mr. Attorney General?
WHEN?
Turns out Marjory Taylor Greene isn't insane. She's just stupid.
In trying to distance herself from QANON, she has publicly stated that she was "taken in by the internet."
Okay. If she was "taken in," then she bought into beliefs that the vast majority of Americans, (80 percent? 90 percent?), consider to be totally insane. So, put into plain English, she's not insane. She's just stupid beyond belief.
She was for the assassination of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. She believed the Parkland school shooting in FL was a "false flag" operation. She believed in Jewish space lasers. She believed in, ... oh, what the hell. If the internet had made any Democrat believe in this kind of stuff, do you think she/he could ever have gotten elected to office?
Evidently, MJT is trying to do a makeover of herself. And her excuse is the equivalent of "I can't believe I was so incredibly dumb." To me, "incredibly dumb" is anyone who buys the shit she's trying to sell us now.
