Again, click the link to watch the video of what McCarthy is saying.

Days like today really make the preening and concern trolling from some about the campaign (and decisions that the campaigns made) seem so much more meaningless. Campaigns obviously have a responsibility to fight for every vote and do what is effective obviously. But I'm not a member of a campaign, so I'll say this, whether it's politically correct or not:

This is what Donald Trump was broadcasting he would do this entire time. He couldn't have been any more clear. His opponent actually did highlight this stuff as well (even if some feel "that stuff doesn't matter")

At some level (or even most level), the voters have to bear responsibility for this. We all tiptoe around it, but it's reality. And we are all collectively going to live the consequences.

It's hard for me to even be mad at it honestly... He put it all out there.

Tulsi is the worser pick.

I don’t see how Tulsi does not give the Kremlin back door access to literally everything we have, including write privileges so they can go in and alter documents to throw people like you off your game.

Do we know anymore that the majority of people will mind living with the consequences? We have assumed that most Americans would not want a right wing authorotarian dictatorship, but maybe they actually do.

Is it true that Boebert is going to be the secretary of education?  Or is that just a joke.  I can't tell anymore.

It’s pretty much all a joke.

That kind of comment is uncalled for.  You have no idea what his working hours are or what his situation is.  It could be interpreted as a personal attack.

 

 

I’m not really sure what was said that crossed a line.  The gloating and not answering questions directly is annoying as all get out, but seriously, this deserves a public shaming?

I don’t think ‘Merica realizes what is possible with this looney bin.  The first term should’ve been quite obvious that he wasn’t fit to return to office.

Just think, around half the people you’ve encountered today (assuming they voted) voted for this worthless ****.  Our best bet is he croaks soon.

One could argue that the 55 or so percent that didn't vote at all don't give a **** and wouldn't know if they were in a dictatorship.

His death might just make it worse.  Who are the alternatives? JD Vance.  He probably wouldn't impulsively start a nuclear war, I guess.

Gaetz has long fought against government censorship and is also staunch defender for teenagers having rights over their own bodies.

As much as I want to laugh at this, it’s pretty ****ing dystopian

I’m frightened to think about what role he’s got for MTG.

Unbelievable, yet totally unbelievable.  What’s next, Kyle Rittenhouse for Attorney General? 

HaHa - Kyle would probably take the job more seriously.

I don’t know.  Just by age, Trump is closer to the end than Vance.  We know Trump has no empathy for anything but himself.  Vance might be just as selfish, but we don’t know for sure.  At some point Vance spoke against Trump.  I don’t know, his flip flop is quite odd, but maybe he’s like the rest of MAGA and just sees a gravy train led by Trump as long as they convey all fealty to him.

Hey, this is a family site.  You take that smut elsewhere.

This might be more true than we would like it to be.

I don’t think most Americans necessarily want a right wing authoritarian dictatorship—although maybe 20% or so do—but I do think the rest who voted for him either think it’s going to roll over on someone else and not them, or that they think he’s joking and it’s not going to actually happen.
