>>>The Republican Party Is The Problem

[Luxman]

You can't justify anything Trump or republicans did by giving somewhat similar examples of what democrats did.
If the intent of a law is to improve the lives of the majority of people then it is better than laws that are only made to raise corporate profits.
Deregulating monopolies and competition is not the same as deregulating safety.

My allegations have almost always been specific and usually valid, I don't remember seriously blaming republicans for everything.
I'm not criticizing you, why do you take it so personally. You should be angry at Trump and not me, all I do is post memes and my personal opinions.
Most politicians and corporations don't give a fuck about people, other than for their votes and money.
It doesn't bother me when republicans make allegations against democrats.
Everything governments, corporations, and other powerful organizations do should be scrutinized and criticized.
Ignoring crimes or mistakes that governments or corporations make always leads to more corruption in the future.

Real smart.

We aren’t the brightest bunch are we?

The railroads lobbied to repeal an Obama-era rule requiring pneumatic brakes on certain hazardous-material hauling trains by 2023. Trump repealed it. It would not have prevented this disaster because the derailed train was not classified as carrying enough hazardous waste.

The railroads lobbied against the rules because it would have cost too much. Did they account for a disaster like this in their economic models? Of course, much of the loss will be passed on to insurers, Ohio, and the EPA. I can see some reinsurance underwriter going, do we have any exposure to this?

The train wreck is a couple of hours away, so I'm good...BUT, that fucking train passed by me on the Northeast and South of me, BOTH only a couple of miles, and a 10 minute drive from my house. I mean scary close. A lot of trains roll down that set of tracks. It's a very heavily used path, and around here, you frequently see rail fans just sitting around, waiting to take pictures, and looking for odd power units. I wonder how long before that stops, if it does. I'm not sure if that Oakwood village, is what yahoo reported as Bedford, but that's close to me, about a 20 minute ride.

That train could have passed within a few miles of millions of people.

Reagan’s Treason, Two Bushes And The $23 Million Payoff - Mar 31, 2023
https://www.eurasiareview.com/31032023-reagans-treason-two-bushes-and-the-23-million-payoff-oped/

Last week, a Texas pol, Ben Barnes, confessed that he was personally involved—and therefore an eyewitness to–high treason: The Ronald Reagan campaign’s successful secret deal with the Iranian government to hold 52 Americans hostages so that Reagan could defeat Jimmy Carter.

Reagan’s skanky deal worked. In 1980, Carter’s failure to bring home the hostages destroyed his chance of reelection. Reagan ultimately would repay the favor from Iran’s murder-crats with weapons and even, for the Ayatollah Khomeini, a birthday cake from Reagan advisor Oliver North.

Republicans can only win elections by lying, cheating, and breaking the law.

It boggles me that while sane republicans have cut ties and distanced themselves from him, there are those like graham who are too stupid to see this is a golden opportunity to dump him.

My understanding is that they want to leech off of his supporters so that when he does go down, literal bottom-feeders like graham can get the support of those supporters as trump's "successor". But that's a huge gamble - there's no guarantee that true trumpers will be loyal to anyone else, because let's be honest, there's no one out there who can replicate him.

Maybe Trump is as much into blackmail as Lindsey is into Black Males.

A SHORT HISTORY OF EVERYONE WHO CONFIRMED REAGAN’S OCTOBER SURPRISE BEFORE THE NEW YORK TIMES - Mar 24, 2023
A lot of people beyond Ben Barnes have said that Reagan’s 1980 election campaign conspired to keep American hostages in Iran.
https://theintercept.com/2023/03/24/october-surprise-ben-barnes/

"The 1980 October Surprise theory has always been plausible on its face. Casey had worked on Richard Nixon’s 1968 presidential campaign (and was later named head of the Securities and Exchange Commission by Nixon). It’s since been proven that the Nixon’s presidential campaign secretly collaborated with the government of South Vietnam to prevent President Lyndon Johnson from striking a peace deal ending the Vietnam War. The Nixon campaign was concerned that peace would help his opponent in the race, Johnson’s vice president, Hubert Humphrey. Nixon’s cynicism can be measured by the fact that thanks to his gambit, 20,000 additional American soldiers, plus unknown hundreds of thousands of other people, died as the war continued for many years."

Nixon and Reagan were both corrupt presidents.

Useless hypocrites, they should be investigating republican corruption.

In Texas and other states, republicans want to make age 10 the new 18.

In 2014, he admitted to violating Texas securities law, and a year later he was indicted on securities fraud charges in his hometown near Dallas, accused of defrauding investors in a tech startup. He pleaded not guilty to two felony counts carrying a potential sentence of five to 99 years.

He opened a legal defense fund and accepted $100,000 from an executive whose company was under investigation by Paxton’s office for Medicaid fraud. An additional $50,000 was donated by an Arizona retiree whose son Paxton later hired to a high-ranking job but was soon fired after displaying child pornography in a meeting.

@John_8581 references this event in another thread.

Texas AG Ken Paxton has been impeached. Just imagine how evil and corrupt one must be to be impeached, as a Republican, in the state of Texas. The mind boggles.
