The rise in anti-Semitic attacks is a symptom of a larger breakdown of public order in our nation’s cities. The solution to crime is the same as it always has been: More and better policing.

1. I really don't like him

And I’ve read that he is obsessed with being President one day.
He does have a terrible haircut like Trump.

[rpannier]

2. I've seen he has 2024 in his sights

He'll make some misstep along the way and fade into obscurity
Either that or run in 28, 32, 36...

3. He's smart, but like in a Stephen Miller or Karl Rove kind of way. Creepy.

[marble falls]

8. Peter Strzok made him look like a prime "Bobblenecked Slapdick". If he's the best ...

and the brightest of the GOP, well, they are in big trouble.

11. Yeah W was a complere bufoon

But Al Gore lied about creating the Internet, in W was a guy you'd want to have a beer with.

That was the absurd Republican spin, which the liberal media gladly parroted back then.

And was before this country found a way to stick its head so far up its rear end, it rejected the decent competent woman in favor of of relentlessly immoral and corrupt psychopath.

Nothing and nobody is off the table for republicans to be able to elect now.

14. Well, we allowed outselves to fall into a "they're so stupid, how much damage ...

could they do ...." and they allowed and encouraged a lot of us to not vote because "one vote doesn't mean anything" which might be true until millions believe it, and they ran for every state legislature seat because too many of us thought as Democrats that the power is all in Washington and they reapportioned the states they took over to gerrymander themselves into the national government. Then they became stupid, venial AND powerful so that they ran states and DC.

Its not too late, just late for us to regain the reins. All we have to do is turn out the vote, we do outnumber them and always have and all we need to remember is every vote and every state legislature seat is important.

[not fooled]

4. Charlie's nickname for this jamoke?

"Bobble-throated slapdick"




Charlie's ready to rumble if this creep gets into the 2024 race!

7. Priceless.

5. He's a super scary militaristic, dominionist. I saw an interview he did to promote his book and he

gave me the scary guy creeps, like Stephen Miller but with military training. He definitely has an aloofness marked by a superiority complex. I get the feeling that he believes he should be respected but really doesn't warrant it.

13. I have file of maybe 40 to 50 written responses from Cotton.

Some are so disgusting, like his justification of kids in cages and bombings. He's a f**king jerk and running unopposed. My Senator, bark.

[marble falls]

6. We have to firmly and in an even tempered way ALWAYS push back against their lies.

9. Arkansas Has A Lot Of "Good" Guys With A Gun

So what happened?

[QualTest]

10. GAG!

I'm am so sick of these Bible banging, Evangelical, Dominionists, who want to make the
USA the land of "Christian Taliban", under "Biblical Laws and Rules", and mostly do all possible
to promote the "End Times" aka Armageddon. Which means supporting anything Israel does,
under any circumstances, and constantly pushing for mid-East unrest, so they can have their
rapture day!

If they are SO interested in the "Kingdom of Heaven", and moving to the next life... Do us a favor
and go find it personally! Leave the rest of us, and the country/planet out of your fantasies!!!

It's unfortunate that these Bozos have been infiltrating all aspects of Govt. and life since the 70s/80s,
and now we have them everywhere, up to the VP, Sec State, Senate, Military, etc....

Makes me Puke!

[Cosmocat]

12. Yep

This country is so incredibly stupid to not see where all of this is headed.

[QualTest]

15. HAH!

Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans!
40% of the country thinks everything Trump does is perfection, and he may just be God's gift to the planet!
Just think about the reality of that sentence for a while.... It makes my blood run cold!

16. Just drove by a house with a big Trump/Pence 2020

Banner with "No More Bullshit" on it.

I mean ...
