It would be shocking if those Sadistic Monsters didn't say something cruel.

soldierant
(6,647 posts)but i did, using magnification, get a bigger image of the whole list, but it's very blurry. I think I can list the mising names, though:
Dinesh D'Souza, Devin Nunes
Ryan Fournier, Michael Savage
Sebastian Gorka, Roger Stone
Fournier's name in particuar was so blurry I had to lookhim up through the organization they listed with him

That figure boggles the mind. WTF is wrong with people?
on edit: I copied the wrong stat! 11 million more people voted for the orange POS in 2020 than in 2016. 11 million people were okay with the way he handled the pandemic. What the actual fuck?
TigressDem
(5,121 posts)DEMs have proven there was no wide spread election fraud, but maybe with all their certainty and projection, they think that is just the way it is, so we must be cheating as much as they are.
EVEN Heritage Foundation shows LESS THAN HALF of 0.003 percent
IF ONLY 1 million people voted.
1,000,000 x 0.003 = 3,000

Official finding
https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2022/2020-presidential-election-voting-report.html
More voters (154.6 million) turned out for the presidential election in 2020 than in 2016 (137.5 million)
It would take OVER 450,000 to reach 0.003% of 154.6 Million
AND that DOES NOT in the slightest put a DENT in the 7 million vote lead Biden had.

Elessar Zappa
(13,649 posts)that comments sections are often populate by the lowest of the low trolls. Its not an accurate gauge of public sentiment.
PatSeg
(46,784 posts)I try not to read the comments for the most part and I rarely go to Twitter these days, but I made the mistake of reading a few this time. Whoa, they were really disturbing. It is so depressing knowing we share the planet with people like that.

(99,909 posts)It's seriously like living in backwards bizarro crazy land with them. Where up is down, black is white, good is bad... I could go on and on and on. Sick fucks.
CrispyQ
(36,224 posts)I'm having a hard time reconciling that. How do decent people still identify as republican?
My friend down the street is a kind, caring woman who does so much for others & would drop what she's doing to help me out if I called, but she identifies as a republican. A long time cousin who I was very close to growing up, still a nice guy, good sense of humor, has a wonderful family, but still identifies as republican. They are not ignorant. They are maybe not as political as I am but they keep up with the news, they know what's going on. What the fuck?
Wednesdays

(46,784 posts)and knowing what we do about today's republicans, it is hard to reconcile the fact that decent people we know still identify as republicans. I really don't know what to do with that.
CrispyQ
(36,224 posts)I can be polite, pleasant even, but there's no discussing anything of importance. Even the weather can be a touchy subject these days.
PatSeg
(46,784 posts)could be touchy. Anything could turn political and ugly really fast. TV shows, movies, books, cars, etc. Everything has become contentious and divisive.

(70,288 posts)... it had to do with gay prostitution along with others. And then attacks on Mr. Kinzinger too. An 80 year old
man was attack with a hammer in his home because of hate talk radio/TV/social media sites. Because after all
Nancy Pelosi was a liberal (she sure is and she has run on being one and has been elected too) so the MAGA
mouth breathers thinks attacking an old man is good because of liberty and free dumbs.
Link to tweet
GoCubsGo
(32,061 posts)where Beck was watching the Pelosi attack video for the first time. The look on Beck's face as the video exposed his lies was priceless! As was Beck's backpedaling. Hal usually posts cuts from his show on YouTube, and I'm he'll do so soon. It's worth watching. His whole show is up, so one can see it there now. He also covered Trump's "Troth Senchul" video diarrhea from yesterday, as well, which was very entertaining in its own right.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)The next time some Republican disgraces himself (and you know it's going to happen by the end of the month) and begs for privacy or implores everyone not to jump to conclusions, keep this response handy: Oh, like how you didn't jump to the most odious, unfounded conclusions about the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, and how you allowed the Pelosis the privacy to process the heinous attack in their own home? In the disgraced Republican's case, he brought his misfortune on all by himself. You're invited to make a sentence out of these four words: Up, Shut, The, Fuck.

(32,334 posts)I would welcome him into the Democratic Party. I think a lot of us would.
Unlike most Repukes, he has principles, a moral compass and the good sense to behave like a normal human being.
patphil
(6,026 posts)One physical attack, and another a verbal attack.
Both were planned and equally malicious.
And that's only 21 attackers. There were hundreds.
In its own way it was very similar to Jan. 6th.

(33,021 posts)sheshe2
(83,324 posts)This was horrific, yet it was more than the sly innuendos and "hammered attack" jokes. No one in the GOP offered public wishes of comfort or support to The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi or her family after this happened. None of them.
I remember the outpouring of kindness after Scalise was shot.
These people are inhumane creatures and should never be in office "serving" the American People. They have no compassion or humanity for any human being.
halfulglas
(1,654 posts)But can Paul Pelosi sue like the Sandy Hook families sued? Paul Pelosi is not a public figure. He is a spouse of a public figure and he has been repeatedly attacked in a particularly disgusting manner by people making money by giving their opinions. I would love to see them scared they might have to pay a price for attacking a private citizen.
