Woman was obviously an escort and you can see her nudes with 2 seconds of googling. There is of course nothing wrong with being an escort or posing nude, but if a Democrat had a wife with the same background they would all stroke out from rage fueled indignation.

And yeah, I get a thrill out of seeing just how completely divorced from reality these people choose to be. They aren't stupid. They are fascists. They lie to everyone all the time including themselves, and they know fully the level of their dishonesty. Their bigotries are more valuable to them than integrity or personal relationships.

Because a woman with agency in a relationship is an existential threat to these decrepit fucks.

"So what we’ve (re-)learned today is that the real division in politics isn’t Republican vs. Democrat but MAGA vs. Globalist, and apparently it’s about 91 to 335."

quote:

Cowardly Kevin Mccarthy's latest surrender on the most critical policies at the most critical time for Americans is so craven and embarrassing that the headline says it all--he's having a ball celebrating with Demonrats and attacking MAGA and actual conservatives in the US, reveling in his latest betrayal of America for the cheap labor lobby and the horrible suffering this fecklessness is causing for American towns and communities. Not one single dollar for border security at a time when the US is literally being invaded by gangs, criminals, drug cartels and a mountain of fentanyl and meth swarming into even small towns and schools in the heartland. Not Kevin's concern, he's too happy partying with AOC and Hakeem as he laughs in the faces of conservatives and the American people.

Thousands of invaders every single day, a flood of deadly drugs and disease already crushing our communities, and Kevin doesn't even try to negotiate even a tiny demand with the Demonrats. No cuts to the new Lois Lerner and harassing tax officials specifically appointed to go after us and our small businesses in the heartland, to make sure that we pay for our own replacement right in the midst of this invasion, or to anything else for the matter. In short virtually nothing for the American people, the conservatives or the Constitution. Mccarthy was holding the knife the whole time, waiting until the last second to un-sheath it and back-stab us yet again.

Ok, I have to give this one at least a quarter star for Meet Depressed.

quote:

Perhaps we get the government (or lack of it) that we deserve for neglecting to take an active role in it. Does anyone still think our current politics will ve resolved by who is most gaslighting persuasive on “Meet Depressed” or “This Week with Undercover Democrat Activist George Stephanopoulis”?


quote:

Yeah Mccarthy and Paul Ryan are peas in the same treasonous RINO pod. They’re both fully bought-and-sold by the cheap labor lobby. No more. The Senate needs to filibuster this betrayal and the House needs to start the process to remove Mccarthy, immediately. No more excuses for inaction.

The problem is he doesn’t understand conservatism.

Conservatism is opposition to government intrusion into everyday life.

He embraces the non conservative philosophy that he comes to Washington to “get things done.” No. That’s not conservatism. Conservatism is NOT doing things. It is reducing government activity. Of any sort.

You are right, McCarthy has a slim margin. However, he is the ONLY person in congress with the true ability to make a stand and tell everyone the party is over and its time to clean up.

All of us (me too) love to talk about China, Russia, and other boogers that might somehow pose a military threat to our nation when the biggest threat we face to our security is DEBT.

I had high hopes for Kevin and realized he was in a difficult spot but he DID pledge to try and fix the budget process and here we are again.... kick the can and piss on my children.

This is generational theft, it is a HUGE tax on every working American with the poor affected the worst, and it will absolutely destroy our nation.

Stop spending money!!!!!! Regardless of liking McCarthy he is not cleaning up the budget process or getting congress back to clean spending bills. Without that, everything else is just fodder for the talking heads and pundit class even as the destination remains the same.

This was the reason the battle over the speakership was waged. I am seeing a lot of “personality” stuff with Gaetz and maybe its valid, but all it does is hide what is important nor does it address Matt’s complaint (see backtrack by Maria B last week).

McCarthy is doing the bidding of the Uniparty. He has not even attempted to use the constitutional powers of the U.S. House of Representatives to check the Bidet Regime. The House has the power of the purse for a reason, and that power isn't being used to close the border, or put an end to the U.S. Postal Service facilitating stolen elections through mass mail in ballot fraud. The House also has the power to subpoena materials about voting fraud in the "swing" states that were stolen from Trump in 2020, or other seats stolen from MAGA candidates like Kari Lake, hold hearings, etc. The obvious conclusion is that McCarthy likes to lose to cheating. He also has been reluctant to bring a vote in the entire House on any impeachment inquiries. There is no reason to retain him as Speaker, since he is just a "squeaker". Let Gaetz now bring his motion to vacate so we can see who the other losers are in the GOP caucus, and how many Dems will help McCarthy try to retain the chair.

So your answer is to leave McCarthy in charge and just give up? I’d rather try with someone else as Speaker. We opposed swampy McCarthy to begin with. Problem is, McCarthy will survive but only because his best friends, the Dems, will vote for him. The word is out that McCarthy’s support among Rs is very thin. I’d rather Jordan give it a try and see what he can do.

Except the Party of Small Government LOVES Big Government for the most part.

They want the government to have the power to fast track the execution and jailing its own citizens. They want to fast track or even skip due process and the right to a trial. They want to cut the hands off of thieves like the Saudis do. They want the government to decide who votes and what books can be read in schools. They want the government to grant the police the right to murder unarmed suspects in the streets and to pass laws requiring the national anthem to be played where everyone must stand for it. They want litmus tests to be able to vote and actively make it harder to do. They want the government to institute forced prayer in schools.

They want to gun down people crossing our border and fund walls.

They LOVE Big Government, especially when it's mean and cruel.

Harry has ALWAYS been a loser and a very spoiled and cossetted git! Even his mother, who spoiled him rotten, said that he took after her and wasn't worth much.

The Spencer family, for many generations, has produced quite a few dimwits, spoiled and very wild women, and wife beaters.

Diana was an uneducated, very manipulative, not very intelligent girl/woman, who had quite a number of mental problems. She and Lady Georgina ( separated by many generations ), were two of a kind!

Harry NEVER would have graduated from Eton if his tutor didn't do his homework and crib for him, re taking tests and his brother William looking after him.

The ONLY reason that Harry even got into college, ANY COLLEGE, is because his grandmother was the Queen and his father was the Prince of Wales! And he damned near flunked out of college, even with his tutor's help. And he ONLY took two finals and got a D, A BLOODY D, in one of them and that was GEOGRAPHY!

None of his 2 "serious" girlfriends would marry him; turned him down flat!

So when Markle put the moves on him, he thought that he has won the gold ring/jackpot. But in actuality,by marrying her, he lost EVERYTHING worth having!

She has become a weird figure on scorn on the American right, who are following the cue of the British right, because she is black and called the royal family racist.

This is part of the "black people only want to talk about race and preserve racism so they can talk about it" narrative + the U.K. addition of "uppity young/black woman not respecting our institutions."

She also moved to California, so this somehow caused Freepers to link them and assume she wanted an official platform to be racist against whites.

Remember, "they" cheated and stole the 2020 election, and the then-current president of the US, a 6-3 stacked Supreme Court, the Senate, and dozens upon dozens of state actors couldn't share or act on the mountains of evidence that are conveniently immediately out of sight, but very real. This was after knowing to expect the cheating in advance.

But they need to cheat a win 2024 to lock in their power. They lost the House in 2022 for some reason, but despite holding the Presidency and both houses of Congress at the time, they couldn't cheat enough to win then, but they can and will cheat enough next year to never lose another election.

Yeah, it's not even slightly internally self-consistent. It only makes sense when one knows that the Freeper casts all wins as legitimate and all losses as illegitimate.

Except the Party of Small Government LOVES Big Government for the most part.

They want the government to have the power to fast track the execution and jailing its own citizens. They want to fast track or even skip due process and the right to a trial. They want to cut the hands off of thieves like the Saudis do. They want the government to decide who votes and what books can be read in schools. They want the government to grant the police the right to murder unarmed suspects in the streets and to pass laws requiring the national anthem to be played where everyone must stand for it. They want litmus tests to be able to vote and actively make it harder to do. They want the government to institute forced prayer in schools.

They want to gun down people crossing our border and fund walls.

They LOVE Big Government, especially when it's mean and cruel.

Like they are.

THe judge just screwed himself.

Lawfare justifies what Trump did.

Tyhis is the persecution of a presidetial candidate.

And this gag order is grounds for an immediate a[ppeal, because the order is designed to prevent Trump from speaking aboy9t the case during his campaign. TRump can say anything he wants about the case. THe information about the clerk is public info.

This could be used nicely during campaign rallies.
Play up the gag order. Invite the average citizen to speak in Trump’s place. Various blue collar background talking about their problems in Biden’s America.

Allow them to talk about Trump’s persecution, daily life, or how the Democrats are destroying the American Dream.
Really play it up. Make Trump a folk hero.

The end of every rally should have a send-off quote; use Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address:

“that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

The 2024 Presidential election should be seen as The Deep State vs The People.

I constantly wonder the same thing, because the reality of our financial situation is that we are on the precipice of oblivion. The debt (thanks in large part to the same congress’ refusal to stand firm on the debt limit) is exploding, now running at an annual deficit of over TWO TRILLION dollars, and accelerating. At the same time there is a concerted effort by our adversaries to abandon the dollar as the global reserve currency. They see the U.S. severely wounded and are trying to administer the kill shot. Those two combined, if not stopped immediately by drastic cuts to federal spending, will first cause worsening financial chaos followed by the U.S effectively becoming Venezuela as investor trust in the “full faith and credit of the U.S. government” crumbles. A nation that allows runway inflation to destroy the value of its currency is not a nation worthy of investment. But the do-nothings don’t seem to care so long as their personal gravy train keeps rolling (temporarily).

Just what I was saying from last January, I posted it here on Freep multiple times “Get back to me 6 months from now and I will guarantee you McCarthy will still have done nothing not even impeachment”

Well here was are it’s now OCTOBER and still no impeachment! If this was Democrats and Trump was in office they would have had him impeached by last February and by now would be working on a 2nd impeachment.

Remember McCarthys “Commitment to America” last year? One commitment was to secure the border and another was “accountability in government”. Oh yeah, that’s going great

We sinker have a two part parliament now. This is just like Israel. 8 votes can break a majority and render a prime minister moot. I actually think MAGA is currently a minority party. Time for it to split off and call it a day. They will never hold a majority. So no chance of a MAGA speaker here. American at the district level chose a very slim minority. But here wheee there are only trumpers and never trumpers the the majority being he former, there is simply a faction. Break off. Run as a party and have at it. Trump is simply unelectable. Remember it’s not the 40% on the right and the 40% on the left it’s the 20% in the middle. Trump backed candidates have taken a shellacking recently. There was a special election just a couple weeks ago, Trump candidate lost bigly to quote PDJT Even trump was not in favor of this.

The point is Trump was great. His policies surprised me. But he simply cannot get out of his own way. Take for example his trial. 80% of the case gets tossed. That all he had to say. But he always lets the left back in. He badmouths the freaking clerk or court reported and wham — gag order which most will see as making him more unelectable. If Trump could stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, then he would be fine. But his mouth engages faster than his brain and he cries poor me.

If he is nominated, here comes the most radical president in history. President Newsome is something we had better get used to because it’s coming hard and fast.

The speaker pro tem has literally no legislative authority nor the full power of the speaker of the house. It was created not too long ago as a placeholder I’m case the unthinkable happens relative to a simultaneous opening of the POTUS and the VPOTUS. It is his only function.

I am amazed at all the name calling and complete lack of facts. We in fact at the moment have a serious constitutional crisis.

I just don't see that happening. Any Republican working across the aisle like this is putting their own head in the noose and jumping, they'll be dead as soon as the rope runs out and they hit the next primary election. The lunatics are running the asylum now and the only outcome of electing crazier and crazier people is everyone else gets punished for not racing them to the bottom.
