Practically SOP for Repubs when it comes to their red meat policy of being "anti-socialists" except when it come down to accepting "socialist" aid and assistance for themselves from the federal gov't AKA Deep State. I can say though that their blatant hypocrisy and two-faced rhetoric about this and other deviously contrived bullcrap they fling at the wall is something that will only get worse the further they feel threatened of being relegated to the gutters of political irrelevance.

and again..wtf can the dems do about it?

it's a lose lose situation when playing against people with a complete lack of morals. They are saying anything they like to prop themselves up. Anything done or said to point this out just gets villainized.

“I believe that as these states embrace the HOLY-QURAN AND THE ISLAMIC TRUTH as it pertains to life, that I believe God’s gonna bless those nations—or those, those states—as those states come in alignment with God, I believe it’s going to be a testimony to the rest of the nation,” Perkins said. “Again, another sign of God’s mercy that He will pour out His blessing on those that choose to walk in His way.” Said by some Muslim(s).

I fixed it for ya. The truth is anyone can state anything that is unfalsifiable as the truth. Maybe it was the Aztec God Tlaloc, who is the rain God? Insert your favorite God. Maybe it was the Buddha? Aliens who creatd Ian? Maybe it was king kong. He slammed his foot down and BAM... That si what caused the 9 foot surge. These people are nuts. They play on the fears of others. They all should be ashamed. God isn't going to anything. If he were capable, then he would had cured hunger. How many starving children die each year from starvation again? Yea, 3 million plus.

I recall posting in another thread where the Repubs have a distinct advantage over the Dems due to the fact that the Repubs can make up outlandish bullshit out of thin air like they always do and not have to back it all up with factual evidence because they don't have to. Their fellow Repubs who listen to those blatant lies will eat it all up because it simply makes them feel good and fuck all if they get called out on it. That includes Donald Trump, the guy who made that a feature of the party all the way down to cretins like Marj Greene, Boebert, Ginni Thomas and those Putin admirers over at FOX. Yet they will scream bloody murder over any insignificant bloopers and trite misspoken words and phrases coming from the Dems. In a way it's really hilarious how the Repubs operate that way, but there they are, broken down into a party that has no principles, no platform and no one to keep them honest about anything and everything that comes out of their Ministry of Propaganda at the RNC.

Every time they have a rally it really does turn into nothing more than a Liar's Convention.

Attach as part of the bills/debt relief required public appearances, tv ads, etc by republican party officials where they sing praises to democratic policies saving their asses. The thing is it'll seem particularly petty on the part of the GOP to say no when it costs them nothing and they're holding up aid to their consitutents. No reason not to attach mandatory ass kissing to this type of debt relief.

Might want to research your claims a little more closely. I know it's easy to parrot talking points from The View.


OK, how about this shithead?


The US Govt (House) voting record of H.R. 41 (113th): Hurricane Sandy relief bill:




Senate Roll Call Vote 113th Congress - 1st Session---Measure Number: H.R. 152 (Disaster Relief Appropriations Act, 2013 )




Here's a hint:

(Senate) Florida:

Rubio (R-FL), Nay



(House) Florida:


Nay FL 6th R DeSantis, Ron


In fact, DeSantis was one of only two FL House members that voted against Hurricane Sandy appropriations. The other was Ted Yoho, FL 3rd district.

EVERY OTHER FLORIDA HOUSE MEMBER, Republican or Democrat, VOTED TO AUTHORIZE HURRICANE SANDY APPROPRIATIONS......

You were saying shithead?

DeSantis is more than a possible Repub candidate for the presidency. Can you just imagine the kind of repressive, draconian medieval attitude he's going to cultivate his White House staff with. I dare say it will be Trump 2.0 on steroids, just a bit more clever and cunning. He will utilize punishment and retribution as his two favorite motivators while succeeding in turning his administration into a dictatorship much better than the doofus useful idiot Trump could ever hope to do.

Can't let that happen.....ever.

Wonder how much butt kissing DeSantis, Rubio and Scott did to Biden. But at least all of them were willing to show up along side to Biden for his tour of the damage.
