Forget for a moment the disjointed word salad that served as his commencement speech.

Focus instead on the message he sent with that hat.

The Army Corps of Cadets is imbued with the tradition of professional non-partisanship.

MAGA!!

Undoubtedly, some clueless fools will ask “what’s wrong with making America great again?”


To them, I would point to the dunces’ corner and ask them to go sit there until they figure it out.

Or, obviously no symbol at all. Just show up as POTUS, without trying to make it an exercise in politics.

That’s ok, Dope. Joseph Goebbles often portrayed the United States as heavily influenced by communism as well. You’re in good company.

Obviously, you don’t have to sit with the dunces. In fact, you can teach the cicics lesson on a “nonpartisan military”.

Godwin HIMSELF recently wrote that he makes an exception in his “law” for Trump.

So I stand with Godwin. Both of us are guilty of breaking his “law”.

Of course you don’t!

You’ll invoke Godwin’s law even in that instance when he tells you that the invocation is invalid.

Because he should know that constant Nazi everything is moronic. That’s why he made the law in the first place.

And just to demonstrate how stupid this is: if what you people brayed on about were actually true, you and every “journalist” whining about “the free press” and whatever other Outrage of The Day would be in jail.

But you’re not. So.

Kick back, tell yourself you’re a part of “the resistance” - whatever that means - and reflect properly on Memorial Day. Then go fire up your grill and cook something hopefully under a sunny sky.

When you’re ready to debate seriously. I’m here.

He’s already cowed large swaths of the mainstream press.
Be patient. He’s only been in power for less than 4 months.

Beating down the institutions of a free democracy takes time, especially a democracy that has stood the test of 250 years. Be patient.

Took Biden just a few months to label parents at school board meetings “terrorists” and force the social media companies to censor.

So, yeah. No.

https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/115531/...

One of you will be along to spin this, and who ever does will miss the point: the DOJ had no business being involved.

And here, just to save everyone’s time, here’s a left wing article you guys can use to make yourself feel better:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/24...

However one feels about the NSBA or the federal government’s becoming involved in such things, there remains no direct evidence that this effort was influenced by politics — and that includes in the new interim report.

As I said. libs can use this sentence to feel good about themselves knowing damn well this was influenced by politics.

Parents’ groups had been infiltrated by violent actors who were neither parents nor lived in the district. Proud Boys in particular, but also Oath keepers and other violence prone individuals. These groups had just shown their inclination toward violence on January 6th.

These were the actors targeted by the FBI, not parents who were simply showing up at school board meetings.

But you knew that.

Meanwhile, Trump’s Injustice Department has arrested and charged a federal judge, charged a member of Congress, snatched foreign students with valid visas off the street and held them without charge, snatched immigrants off the street and deported them to torture camps in some of the world’s worst authoritarian hellholes. Trump has ignored orders from judges, demonized judges, all while pursuing a large scale program of self-enrichment and corruption, etc etc, etc.

LOLOL!
libs always say that Proud Boys infiltrate everything.

As far as the judge and the Congresswoman, double laughing out loud. You can’t obstruct justice and lunch your way into a federal facility.

There was no obstruction in either case. The judge had the right to run her courtroom as she saw fit, and in any event, did not attempt to impde an arrest. And the representative had every right to inspect the facility in her district.

Two ham sandwiches have been indicted. Let’s see what the jury says.

It's on the tip of my tongue, but it still eludes me...
Who was the great economic thinker who argued that decisions about what individual companies should produce, in which factory, and where, were choices best made by the government as part of their central plan?
Top Marx for anyone who remembers!

Also, I'm still waiting for the release of the Epstein files and Trump's tax returns as promised by Dishonest Don.

Deliberately false and misleading lies by Republicans. Threats to school board members were characterized as domestic terrorism. Parents were never called domestic terrorists.

We've already discussed that during a worldwide pandemic misinformation should be stopped.

Both of those are political lies and not anywhere near the level of deliberate lying by this administration while it commandeers the government and its channels to intimidate, punish, suppress, seize power and grift. You're throwing away America Dope,

Not sure about Dope, but a lot of the Trumper/MAGA crowd seem like they actually want an authoritarian government.
