That is the thing:

Right now, US-Americans can still point their fingers at Putin.

Maybe, in 2024, the world will have to decide how to handle the new biggest and most dangerous regime ever.

The Red State Murder Problem
https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem

"Whether one does or does not blame Republican leaders for high murder rates, it seems that Republican officeholders do a better job of blaming Democrats for lethal crime than actually reducing lethal crime."

"In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden."

"8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century."

Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people.

Republicans are actually guilty of most things they falsely accuse Democrats of doing.
If you want to know the corrupt or warped things Republicans believe or are up to, just listen to what they falsely accuse Democrats of doing.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene owns stock in Walt Disney, which she says is 'pro-child predator'​

• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has accused the Walt Disney Co. of sexualizing children.
• Greene also owns up to $45,000 worth of Disney stock.
• Congress is actively debating whether to ban federal lawmakers from trading stock

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene this week accused Walt Disney Co. of sexualizing children after the entertainment giant criticized a Florida education law that critics have dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill — and vowed to fight against it.
"It's hard to believe that Disney, Walt Disney, the Walt Disney Co., would be the very place that this is happening," she said during an interview with Infowars broadcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. "This is supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, a place where innocence is celebrated. But it seems to be the place where innocence is actually under attack."
Greene added: "Walt Disney — they need to pay a serious price for this."

What Greene didn't mention is that she is a Disney investor, according to personal financial disclosures filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

Entering 2021, Greene owned between $1,001 and $15,000 in Walt Disney Co. stock, her most recent annual financial disclosure indicate.
Greene subsequently added Disney stock to her portfolio. She purchased shares valued at between $1,001 and $15,000 on August 31, 2021, and then more shares valued in the same range on November 15, 2021, congressional records show. By law, members of Congress are only required to disclose the value of their assets in broad ranges.

When asked by Insider about her Disney stock, Greene declined to address her ownership. The congresswoman said in an email Friday that "anyone who opposes anti-grooming laws like the one in Florida is pro-child predator. Stop sexualizing children."
In September, Greene told Insider: "I have an independent investment advisor that has full discretionary authority on my accounts. I do not direct any trades."

I almost posted this in the wrong thread. I had stopped posting in this thread because I thought that everyone was in agreement that the party of Trump, Traitors, and Seditionists was the problem, but apparently I was wrong and right wing propaganda really iS that effective.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

By poor does he mean people that work, but make shitty money, or is he referring to welfare, disability, and retirement? I know I've never been considered poor, but I do know even I was making it check to check, I paid. I just started disability, so I have no idea what I'm in for next April. I know I received tax paperwork for the unemployment I collected.

I hope you don't have to pay anything, but assholes like Rick Scott don't GAF if you're sick, if you eat, or if you die.

You know what would help? Tax cuts for the rich. Look at their rates - nearly 4%. Imagine how low inflation and gas prices would be if they didn't have to pay anything.

I say:

Let's go proactive! Let us give our finest their due and pay them for being such grand examples. Some ideas:

In addition to Amazon Prime (Is that a relative of Optimus Prime?), put in the NFG® (Need For Greed) fixed option, which hands 1% Bezos way.

And Elon Musk can get the Twitter deal, and every Tweet has to hand him one cent. Easy to do.

Exclusive: Madison Cawthorn photos reveal him wearing women’s lingerie in public setting​

The embattled congressman has outraged Republican colleagues with accusations of orgies and drug use.

POLITICO could not independently verify the photos, which are screenshots of original images. They were provided to POLITICO by a person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign. A second person formerly close to Cawthorn and his campaign confirmed the origin of the photos. The date the photos were taken is unclear, though they appear to show Cawthorn sitting in a wheelchair, indicating the event happened after his accident. In the photos, he is wearing a distinctive pendant necklace that has appeared in other images and videos of Cawthorn. The photos have started to circulate among political rivals

Photographs obtained by POLITICO appear to show Madison Cawthorn, the embattled Republican congressman from North Carolina who recently accused his GOP colleagues of inviting him to orgies, wearing lingerie in what appears to be a party setting.
Cawthorn, 26, was raised in a conservative Baptist community in Henderson County, North Carolina, and has staked his political persona on arch-traditional Christian principles and the insistence of the importance of a kind of hypermasculinity. His comments about “the sexual perversion” in Washington made on a podcast, which he later admitted were exaggerated, drew the public disapproval and disavowal of Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy as well as other Republican leaders including those
The revelation of the two photos is the latest in a series of unflattering headlines for the freshman member of Congress in the run-up to the primary in his first re-election bid. The primary in North Carolina is May 17. Cawthorn has seven Republican opponents who see him as vulnerable in his North Carolina congressional caucus.
.

Cawthorn, who was paralyzed from the waist down as a passenger in a car accident in Florida in 2014, in recent months has called Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug,” suggested teetotaling Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has a drinking problem, and racked up a collection of traffic transgressions including speeding, driving with expired tags and driving with a revoked license. He has court dates in May and June.



Cawthorn spokesman Luke Ball did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
After this story published, Cawthorn tweeted that the photos were taken of him during a game on a cruise before he was elected to Congress. “I guess the left thinks goofy vacation photos during a game on a cruise (taken waaay before I ran for Congress) is going to somehow hurt me? They’re running out of things to throw at me... Share your most embarrassing vacay pics in the replies.”
“I was raised on Proverbs and pushups,” Cawthorn said in a podcast in September 2020.
“I subscribe to Judeo-Christian beliefs,” he continued. “I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I think if you think about my political ideology, where it really stems from, you know, my ethics and my morals and what I think is right and wrong, you look to ancient Jerusalem, you got ancient Judeo-Christian values. So right and wrong,” he continued. “I also cling to a lot of traditional values and a lot of traditional ideas, because they’ve worked in the past.”
“I think that we have bred a generation of soft men and that generation has created a lot of problems in our society and our culture,” he said in March 2021 on a podcast “designed to reclaim and restore masculinity in a society that is ever more dismissive of what it means to be a man.”
“There’s only one God and two genders,” he said in a tweet earlier this week.

Notice that, in his tweet, Cawthorne doesn't pretend the photo are fake....


But you know, the photos are not the issue here. I have no problem with people wearing women underwears during parties or whatever. Myy issue is with people wearing women underwear at some parties and then accusing others of orgies or with people wearing women underwear and then telling transgender folks that they are trash.

Most Republicans grew up sexually repressed which caused them to become sexually deviant adults.
Maybe their admiration of Trump has a repressed sexual undertone?

And their other fetishes are on display here:

The Chairman of the Oklahoma GOP (who is also running for Congress) wants to put Fauci in front of a firing squad. He seems to believe Fauci would be convicted of something worthy of capital punishment. That is quite a claim. I really hope he can back up his comments with some real evidence of a capital crime.

So Musk is basically advocating for the False Balance Logical Fallacy. As the notion that one side might be getting more criticism is both deserved and valid because of greater objective empirical evidence against said side. In that case one side isn't getting treated "unfairly" people are just reporting proven reality.
