Dagwood222,

MAGoo logic at it’s finest.

Say that President Trump is legally empowered to do anything, up to and including ordering domestic assassinations. Also say that Biden is a dictator when he’s actually obeying the rules.

Dagwood222,

After Donnie dies she’ll do a ‘grieving widow’ tour to raise money for the Donald Trump Library, then make a book deal and spend another five years going on TV and telling how she always hated him.

Dagwood222,

Stop looking at those ‘inflation adjustors’ and look at what you could actually buy.

Average rent per month in Los Angeles in 1990 was under $600.00/month

Today it’s over $2,000.00

If he paid her five months rent today, it would be $10,000.00, not $7,000.00

Dagwood222,

That’s why I stick with real world examples.

For example, the minimum wage in 1960 was $1.00/hour. The cost of the average home was $11,000.00

Dagwood222,

Another great thing for the Right is that the GOP knows that these laws are going to get challenged in the courts.

So, the law is defended by taxpayers [whether they like it or not] while the Left has to raise money. Left folks have to divide their contributions between causes. Win-win for the Right.

Accused adulterer Trump who paid to keep Stormy Daniels affair secret professes ‘love’ for the Ten Commandments (www.independent.co.uk)

“I LOVE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRIVATE SCHOOLS, AND MANY OTHER PLACES, FOR THAT MATTER. READ IT — HOW CAN WE, AS A NATION, GO WRONG??? THIS MAY BE, IN FACT, THE FIRST MAJOR STEP IN THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION, WHICH IS DESPERATELY NEEDED, IN OUR COUNTRY. BRING BACK TTC!!! MAGA2024,” Trump wrote in the early...

Dagwood222,

Are the Commandments on display at any of his properties? Were they on display in the Oval Office when he was in charge? Why do I even bother asking?

Race to unseat New York progressive ‘most expensive House primary ever’ (www.theguardian.com)

The primary for New York’s 16th congressional district, which takes place on Tuesday, has drawn record-breaking spending, with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) and a crypto-currency Super Pac behind the lion’s share of the funding....

You can donate to any candidate in any election.

Dagwood222,

Keep sharing it!

Dagwood222,

You can just contribute to ActBlue itself. I’ve been supporting them for years and never get any spam.

Dagwood222,

So, you’re fine with the fascists winning because you’re too good and pure to actually do anything?

The system isn’t perfect, but it’ll get worse if people do nothing.

Dagwood222,

The problem is that I can’t just explain to the technically uneducated people that I changed mail providers. How should I go about doing this?

Speaking as a nontech person, I can assure you that none of us care in the slightest.

Just give us the new address and we’ll change it. We might curse you for making us do the work, but probably we’ll feel like badasses when we do it in only three hours.

Dagwood222,

Never forget, Al Franken resigned when old pictures of him goofing around came out.

Dagwood222,

At the time, a lot of people wanted Al to push back. I’m glad he didn’t because sometimes you have to lose a battle to win a war.

Dagwood222,

Weiner was a creep. I live in New York and no one wanted him to fight. Everyone wanted him gone ASAP.

He fought the only way he knew how; by lying.

Dagwood222,

As always, Trump’s people manage to outdo everyone.

“Anti-woke” water is a thing, and it doesn’t need no stinking vodka to make people stupid.

Dagwood222,

What’s funny about the whole RINO thing is that St. Ronald Reagan himself said that the Eleventh Commandment was that no GOP should trash talk another. Ronnie said he wanted a ‘big tent’ where all Conservative voices could be heard.

Dagwood222,

Blame Nixon.

His 1968 campaign was a classic example of ‘Something For Everybody.’ He told the hippies that he was going to end the Vietnam War and appealed to the Right with attack dog Spiro Agnew. He also knew that a lot of Southern folks were unhappy with the Civil Rights Act, so he gave them a ton of dog whistles.

Before Nixon, the GOP had a sizeable Liberal Wing. By 1980 those guys were gone.

It’s heroin, without the ‘e.’

Not heroin, but Holmes did go undercover at least once in an opium den. “The Man With The Twisted Lip” iirc.

Dagwood222,

[off topic]

Mike Hammer was immensely popular for years. “My Gun Is Quick” and “I, the Jury” were full of anti-gay slurs.

Currently there are Pride Month flags flying from Mickey Spillane’s bar in NYC.

If you’d put this in a satire movie circa 2014 people would have called it too over the top.

Dagwood222,

It’s pretty obvious to me that Trump is looking for ways to get out of the upcoming debates.

His committed voters aren’t going to change their minds, and he’s got a good chance of losing votes if he goes on stage and makes a fool of himself.

Dagwood222,

I get annoyed when people blame ‘the media’ for Trump getting elected.

The media reported every stupid and/or horrible thing he said, and his voters chose to ignore it.

Colorado Republican Brutally Grilled By Local News Anchor: ‘Why Is Abortion Good For Your Girlfriend? Bad For Other Women?’ (www.mediaite.com)

Colorado congressional candidate and sitting State Rep. Richard Holtorf ® received a tough grilling this week at the hands of local 9News anchor Kyle Clark over his apparent hypocrisy when it comes to abortion rights....

I apologize

Dagwood222,

Thanks, I’ll edit that into my comment

Dagwood222,

MAGoo logic.

“We like Trump because he says what he means and means what he says…”

“You can’t take Trump literally, but you have to take him seriously.”

Dagwood222,

Read “The Marching Morons” by C. M. Kornbluth. The novella that "Idiocracy’ was based on. Much darker than the movie. Much, much darker.

Dagwood222, (edited )

As far as I know, Rudy did not show up at a single funeral held for any victim of the 9/11 disease.

Most of the ‘Ground Zero’ workers were there without respirators because George W. Bush’s people claimed the air was safe.

Dagwood222,

Thank you. Edited for clarity

Dagwood222,

New York City didn’t learn anything. The biggest change after 9/11 was that the Fire Department and the Police each sent one captain to sit in the other’s headquarters. Too much toxic pride to actually put them together under one roof. And don’t get me started on the patchwork quilt that is EMS.

Dagwood222,

I read an aticle about his recent New York trial and conviction. The author, a lawyer, said the same thing as you; that the tactics seemed to be more about feeding Trump’s ego than presenting a coherent case.

Dagwood222,

That’s literally your job as a member of Congress, to be available to the people in your district.

Dagwood222,

I’m sure her biggest donors have never actually set foot in her district. At least one has never been west of Finland.

He got as far as East Germany, according to the reports I’ve read.

I like to think her and LoBo the Clown have the same job; make the other one look sane. Both are failing.

Dagwood222,

David Brooks is the perfect example of the ‘moderate’ Republicans who gave us Donald Trump.

If people like him cared one whit about the country they would have abandoned the party the day Trump said that he “liked soldiers who didn’t get captured.”

I guess some of us take our responsibilities seriously

Dagwood222,

Bones McCoy = “On The Road Again”

Sulu = “Rocket Man”

Uhura = Whitney Houston version of “I Will Always Love You.”

Dagwood222,

Back in the 1940s, there was a Captain Marvel story where a scientist tells the Big Red Cheese that the entire universe is actually a dream and the sleeper is getting ready to wake up…

Dagwood222,

Either the tears are real or they are fake.

If real, it shows that the ‘tough guy’ is a sniveling baby who can’t handle a problem like bankruptcy, something millions of people have gone through.

If fake, it’s even worse, because it shows that in his twisted mind, he’s more deserving of sympathy then the people he vilified.

Either way, he’s scum.

Dagwood222,

Conservatives have party loyalty, not MAGA loyalty.

GOP has had two wings since Nixon came up with the Southern Strategy; the money people and the church people. The church people love Trump unconditionally. They will dump the GOP in a second if the GOP moves away from Trump.

I like to use this analogy. The GOP is like a high school with the teachers being the money folks. Trump was the new football coach who won a lot of games by feeding the team steroids and meth. Now the teachers are trying to figure out what to do now that the students are burning down the school.

Dagwood222,

Here’s a quick taste of Lee Atwater.

He was Nixon’s creature, and hung around for a long time. Helped create the dog whistles Nixon used and Trump surpassed

youtu.be/X_8E3ENrKrQ?t=2

Dagwood222,

For fun, look up Nixon era mystery writer Ross Thomas. He started out as a Washington reporter, then became a novelist.

“The Fools In Town are On Our Side” may be the dirtiest politics book ever written.

“The Porkchoppers” is a close second.

Dagwood222,

Native New Yorker. The Trump Plaza fiasco was well covered by the local press. The greatest dealmaker in the world massively overextended himself and had to take a [iirc] $90 million bath.
