Oh no! Clarence is a Russian asset!

I wish that while AOC is impeaching SC Justices, the Rs would quit being cowards and go after people like AOC with her $30K gift from the Met Gala, and didn't some of the squad hang out in Cuba?

WTH is wrong with these people?

What the hell, indeed? I'm curious about the demonic symbols mentioned at the beginning of the article. The search for meaning in a post-Christian West is taking a lot of ugly and pointless turns.

A history of Democrat's Hitler comparisons going back to the 40s.

https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2024/07/14/76-years-of-the-lefts-hitlers-from-the-little-man-on-the-wedding-cake-to-donald-trump-n4930688


I'd be interested to see a similar write-up about Republicans' Hitler sightings. I know I at one point compared Obama to Hitler. And I think I wasn't wrong.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that there's a lot more to this story:

Certainly. No possible excuses and she deserves a Medieval death penalty.

Perhaps I should develop some really degraded habit, so people will feel sorry for me. Would nose-picking do it?

Liz Cheney, Republican:

Quote
From the Wyoming Cowboy Daily:

A campaign organization run by former Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney has been actively paying into and receiving donations through a Democratic fundraising platform this year.

According to campaign finance information filed with the Federal Election Commission, Cheney’s Our Great Task super political action committee paid $8,662 to ActBlue Technical Services in June. It also received $159,510 through the group in June.

People can directly donate to Our Great Task on ActBlue, showing that Cheney is looking to appeal to voters of all stripes with her campaign to prevent former President Donald Trump from winning another term.

This aligns with the mission of her group, which states on its website that “Republicans, Democrats, Independents must work together to ensure Donald Trump and those who have enabled him are defeated.”
