Sickophants

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

He tricked us by starting off good, then pivoting to making up stuff about Kamala to whine about. Sleazy.

I've been following the latest desperate and largely manufactured MAGAt freakout over Biden's intemperate language. Of course, Joe isn't running for anything and has never been considered the most articulate of leaders, not that reality ever matters to the whiny and gullible MAGAts. Did Joe intend an apostrophe in 'supporters'? I'm inclined to think so in the expectation that he would not be so reckless as to call all DonOLD voters 'garbage', whatever his private thoughts are. Not that nuance ever matters to the whiny and gullible MAGAts, either.

The irony here is that I do think that all MAGAts are garbage for the political choice they're making, more so than the collective immigrants who TRE45QN disparages who merely work for a better life for their families, and whatever other positive contributions MAGAts make. Does that make me a bad person in the way that Joe and by extension Kamala are being portrayed?

Yeah, and they're all a basket of deplorables, too, but for some reason Dems are held to a higher standard of decorum than repugs. At least in part the media's fault.

Mike Johnson Embraces Racist Conspiracy Theory Loved by Mass Shooters
The House speaker is openly embracing the “great replacement” theory.


... TV host Tucker Carlson has helped fuel it, and members of Congress like Representatives Elise Stefanik and Matt Gaetz, as well as Senator J.D. Vance, have all repeated it. Recently, Elon Musk has amplified the theory to his millions of followers on X (formerly Twitter)....
:roll: :obscene-birdiered:

Back to The Hill article about TRE45QN's plans:
... The choice of Stefanik could have repercussions for Trump’s efforts to get his agenda through the House. Republicans are expected to have an extremely narrow majority, and that margin will temporarily become slimmer if Stefanik vacates her seat to join the administration....
Maybe not "temporarily". Idk how the NY replacement process works, but the Gov is Dem and Stefanik represents a historically purple District. The NY21 voters might send a Dem in a special election.

Sigh, another actor to quit watching entirely:

Sylvester Stallone Anoints Trump With 'Really Mythical' Title In Wild Comparison
The actor tied the story of Rocky Balboa to the president-elect during a speech at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Here's a good one.....Missouri state House member introduces the "Donald J. Trump Election Qualification Act" that will allow convicted felons to run for public office in MO. It is currently illegal for a convicted felon to run for state or local office in the state. His "reasoning" is that if a convicted felon can run for president, a convicted felon should be able to also run for lesser state office. Now that's some real MAGA logic there. Sick

The next pandemic? Bird Flu:

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/health/how ... to%20COVID
Nearly a year into the first outbreak of the bird flu among cattle, the virus shows no sign of slowing. The U.S. government failed to eliminate the virus on dairy farms when it was confined to a handful of states, by quickly identifying infected cows and taking measures to keep their infections from spreading. Now at least 875 herds across 16 states have tested positive.

...

a pandemic, but if it does, we are screwed.”

To understand how the bird flu got out of hand, KFF Health News interviewed nearly 70 government officials, farmers and farmworkers, and researchers with expertise in virology, pandemics, veterinary medicine, and more.

Together with emails obtained from local health departments through public records requests, this investigation revealed key problems, including deference to the farm industry, eroded public health budgets, neglect for the safety of agriculture workers, and the sluggish pace of federal interventions.
