I learned a long time ago that people accuse other people of what they are capable of doing.

The other side of the coin is that if a person is not capable of stealing or physically hurting another person, then they are probably not doing the same.

Of course this is not true 100% of the time, but it has seemed to hold true for most of the last4-5 years.

21. The three things
Fri Apr 30, 2021, 12:01 PM
Apr 2021

everyone can look for every time any RepubliCON says ANYTHING.....

1) a lie

2) total hypocrisy

3) Always 180 degrees from the truth or reality.


The modern day RepubliCONs have it in their DNA, they seem to be completely unable to help themselves.

Their mantra seems to be: The end justifies the means.........

Republicans are psychopaths.

And we let them get away with thier pathology for too long.

They vote for and protect psychopaths.


We need to empower and vote for more Dems,the party of compassion if we want help with stopping the psychopaths.

Those children could end in dysfunctional families, unloved, extremely poor and desperate as teenagers. That fills the pool of GQP victims of sexual abuse. And it deletes the market of fetuses radical lefties feast on.

Exactly who is trying to “steal votes”?
By making ballot-casting extremely difficult for many, many people?

And then, who is trying to stop that steal?

Uh huh, I thought so...

They MUST be called out on their disgusting and sometimes traitorous deeds. I know hoi polloi of The Other Side won't believe it, but if they hear and see it often enough, and with undeniable supporting evidence, some will have to start losing their enthusiasm, at the very least.

But some things are objective reality and very hard to dismiss. The stock market hasn't crashed, COVID turns out to be REAL, and President Biden is doing a fantastic job with the rollout. Opinion polls prove that at least some of them recognize empirical evidence when it hits them in the face like a cold, dead fish.

Personal approval rating may not be through the roof, but it has never been less than 10 points more than the Previous Guy ever achieved...and, when the options are more narrowly defined, he is killing it in the polls, even among Rs.

Some of them MUST be reachable, and I wish that number could be expanded by some (possibly a little unseemly) PR. I think it's time to revisit 538 and see how much has been broken out by issue and party, and what that might mean.

Always try to get out in front of an evil deed by accusing their opposition of it. Then they skate while focus is on their opponent, sometimes completely ruining innocent lives.
They are despicable.

My question is: "WHY does the media not continually focus on this and expose them for what they are?"

From his wiki:

"John Dennis Hastert is an American former politician and child molester who represented Illinois's 14th congressional district from 1987 to 2007."
