orders nonprofit to turn over some most sensitive files to man who built his unelected political career on restricting health care access for trans people
David Hancock offered evidence that Rittenhouse not only failed the standard tests for entry into military service, but was permanently banned from applying to the Marines.
"Kyle failed to learn a single thing. He remains the same uneducated, arrogant, and antagonistic individual, incapable of telling the truth."
Poleaxed by grief, his father chose not to seek the Democratic nomination in 2016
But, four years later, appalled by Donald Trump’s authoritarianism and especially by the racist violence in Charlottesville, he decided that the best way of honouring his son was to enter the subsequent race.
Fun Fact: When Hitler came into power democratically it took him like 3 months to dismantle democracy completely and there were no new elections for 17 years. He came into power after earlier starting an insurrection. State institutions and government failed to ban him from future elections — @thomasfuchs#quotes#quote#history#insurrection#Trumpism#politics
Terrorists Don’t Deserve Bipartisanship. For months I’ve been hearing about pursuing a bipartisan America; about this nation needing to forge a new spirit of political collaboration if we ever hope to bridge the massive divides here... I don’t care about bipartisanship, I care about protecting humanity. If the fight for that humanity places me on one side of a partisan political line, that likely points to the inhumanity on the other side of it. I will not partner with terrorism and I refuse to make peace with white supremacy and I will not cooperate with fascists. I’m not apologizing for that and neither should the rest of us — John Pavlovitz #quotes#quote#Trumpism#Bipartisanship#Republicans#uspolitics
There are no false equivalencies to be made here at this place and time in the history of this nation. This abomination of a political party is now nothing more than a death cult whose sole platform is appeasing, pleasing, and defending a wannabe despot. To elevate them to something worthy of partnership is political treason and theological heresy. To entertain conspiracy or abide terrorism or enable bigotry in the name of some ceremonial both sides-ism makes a mockery of the costly battles so many vulnerable communities have fought before us, in order to make this a place where blind nationalism does not rule the day and where a minority of extremists cannot have their way — John Pavlovitz #quotes#quote#Trumpism#Bipartisanship#Republicans#uspolitics
These so-called moderates play an essential role in Trumpism. They wring their hands and speak in regretful tones while they launder the cult of Trump through a false veneer of respectability — Marc E. Elias #quotes#quote#moderates#Trumpism#TrumpEnablers#Republicans
For all of my fellow Iowans who decided that the racist, sexist, twice-impeached orangutan who literally tried to overthrow the government is, for whatever reason, the best guy for the job, I'd like to wish you all a Happy Fourth Anniversary of Trump's first impeachment trial!
On Jan. 8 of last year, a mob ransacked Brazil’s Congress and other offices, claiming an election had been stolen. Unlike the Jan. 6 rioters in Washington, the Brazilian protesters have almost no support now.
(Probable) Loss of the far-right in the referendum for a new Chilean Constitution:
It looks like the new proposed Chilean Constitution was rejected by the clear majority. Seeing how the fascist Milei won in Argentina, this is great news for the continent.
Last year a progressive Constitution was proposed to the voters, but it was clearly rejected. The political consequences were severe for the government: months later the centre-left and left lost the majority in parliament and the far-right became dominant force in the right-wing block. Their discourse was extremely aggressive and destructive, supported by the classic right, like in Argentina.
This resulted in a weird, almost postmodernist, situation. The progressive parties had to campaign to keep a Constitution that originated during the horror of the Pinochet years, when their militants were tortured and disappeared. This in the hope to be able to change it later, way way in the future.
While the Chilean Constitution is where neoliberalism was historically codified, this didn't go far enough for the far right that calls itself openly "Pinochetist". So they ended campaigning against the Constitution of their hero.
From the 1st time I heard #Poilievre speak, I thought hmmm, #Canada’s #trump wannabe.. #trumpism spreading to 🇨🇦, Trump gave all #fascists permission to reveal themselves. 🙏🏼 God help us all..
It is darkly comedic to think that I used to catch Hell from left-identified folks for making the obviously accurate observation that then United States (US) President Donald “Stand By, Proud Boys” #Trump and #Trumpism were #fascist.
The ridiculous Trumpen left fascism-denying criticism continued even after the orange beast sent thousands of his frothing backers to physically attack the US #Capitol in an effort to block...
“Today at a momentous time in our history, the country is about to go through a great trial. By this, I do not mean any of the several trials of the former president, but rather a trial of the proposition that we are a nation of laws committed to the rule of law and that no one is above the law....it is a proposition well known around the world because it is the one essential ingredient in all democracies...”
Listening to a couple of people just fucking shit all over white supremacist Narcissist Dilbert creator Scott Adams and im already having a great time.
"(Lee) Atwater’s draft memoir makes clear that he had already mastered the dark political arts as a teen-ager. In fact, it seems that practically everything Atwater learned about politics he learned in high school. It’s easy to see the future of the Republican Party in the anti-intellectual dirty tricks of his school days."
