Then what is?

If ensuring that American citizens have access to the healthcare they need to live is not a priority - then what is?

If making sure that every American can vote isn't important - then what is?

If feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless isn't the aim of "good American Christians" - then what is?

If keeping military-grade weapons off the streets of our towns and cities isn't the goal of Second Amendment advocates - then what is?

If the overwhelming opinion of the citizenry on the issue of abortion isn't considered relevant by the Supreme Court - then what is?

If attempting to overthrow democracy isn't considered to be a crime - then what is?

Just a bunch of questions - waiting for the GOP to come up with the answers.

But they’ll ask the Democrats all the time.

And don’t get me started about how they let the repukes change the subject or run away with no pushback.

They are not there to govern. They are there to control and enrich themselves. They don’t believe in government.

The contract with America might have been the last real policy that could have been ok and they fouled it up as well.


"owning the libs" is not a winning policy when it kills your people as well. They still don't understand this one

PLEASE NOTE - all italicized text is meant as

If ensuring that American citizens have access to the healthcare they need to live is not a priority - then what is?

The priority is to allow ONLY the "right kind" of people to have healthcare...rich ones. Poor people, people of color, special needs people (who are not used as props in video tributes)? Fuck them all...


If making sure that every American can vote isn't important - then what is?

Again, this is a priority for the "right kind" of people again. In this case, its usually visually defined - white people with visible Christian of Trump paraphernalia - are OK. Others? Especially darker complexion or skin tone or females NOT dressed for an audition in the latest "Stepford Wives" remake. Fuck all of them too!

If feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless isn't the aim of "good American Christians" - then what is?
"Good American Christians" is an oxymoron - Americans have superimposed a virulent strain of capitalism onto religion and produced the "prosperity gospel" both as a means to fleece the stupid and to justify the abhorrent....but to their minds:

It is a priority to make sure that your seed on Earth is given to the pastors to ensure that in heaven, your estate will be larger.


If keeping military-grade weapons off the streets of our towns and cities isn't the goal of Second Amendment advocates - then what is?
The 2A is supreme. Actually, there is no need for those other pesky Amendments now that the SCOTUS is a politicized and wholly owned Republican banana court...in fact we want MORE guns and MORE ammo EVERYWHERE...don't 2-year old orphans have bootstraps too?

If the overwhelming opinion of the citizenry on the issue of abortion isn't considered relevant by the Supreme Court - then what is?
Clearly you not reading the right Bible...its GAWD'S PLAN for ALL ejaculations to become babies ... and ANY woman who has a failed pregnancy during a monthly ovulation cycle (REGARDLESS OF AGE) is subject to sexual history review, proof of ovulation and lack of fertilization or they are going to be forcibly impregnated and monitored as brood mares of the State/Jesus.

If attempting to overthrow democracy isn't considered to be a crime - then what is?

If our lord and savior Donald Trump did it, then Nixon was the prophet and its not illegal. By definition. Take THAT lib! Ha! I 'owned' you...now I am going to swelter in my 110F house and enjoy the warmth of my sweat pretending it is actual liberal tears and not the fluids escaping my body and bringing me to heat stroke peril...

The answer to all these questions is the most obvious thing in the world: the most important issue in America today is the unprecedented and horrific oppression of white Christians in this country, specifically the oppression of white male heterosexual Christians. Why, you can't even exercise your God-given right to shout the n-word in public any more!

Making as much money off of as many people as they can before the system finally collapses under the weight of lies and bullshit and they all go to another country who will happily take such well off people... and then, like the Ferengi, they will take over and ruin that country as well before heading off to the next one. It is all about greed.

Access to: McDonald's

American right to vote: but only for white, heterosexual men.

Good American Christians: kill the commies

2nd Amendment: do 1776 all over again, but in reverse

What is relevant to the Supreme Court: pay back those who put them there

Crime: POC trying to live their lives
