There was a curious moment this week when Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed expressed shock that people were asking him about a “streamer in California” as he campaigns for the Senate in Michigan. That streamer is, of course, Hasan Piker. Despite El-Sayed’s disbelief, the questions stemmed from the fact that he brought Piker from California to campaign with him in Michigan and embraced him despite condemnations of Piker’s virulent antisemitism and violent rhetoric. However, the problem goes far deeper, as El-Sayed distances himself from views he has previously voiced.
It turns out that there are consequences to campaigning with a man who mocked the murder of a past critic and said that the United States deserved 9/11 (including responding to criticism of Piker in the primary by embracing him on election night at a rally). El-Sayed is not the only Democrat trying to get the media to stop asking him about his association.
Standing in front of a giant campaign billboard for El-Sayed, Rep. Debbie Dingell (D., Mich.) shot back at those asking about his association with a raving lunatic: “I am DONE. So don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker.” What is distressing is how many reporters will dutifully obey the command.
Dingell added, “They’re trying to divide us, and we’ve got to stop letting them try to divide us.” However, it is not divisive for your Senate candidate to campaign with a raging antisemite who says that the United States deserved 9-11 and that Jews are asking to be attacked.
The problem for Dingell and others is not so easily resolved by commanding a supportive media to not ask about Piker, who recently said on his podcast that Jews are asking to be attacked if they openly support Israel.
The problem is that El-Sayed has voiced equally disturbing and analogous views. El-Sayed was criticized for his response after a man attacked a Michigan synagogue in March. After condemning the attack, El-Sayed added that the Israeli military killed some of the attacker’s family in Lebanon, saying “hurt people hurt people.”
It sounds a bit like Jews are asking to be attacked.
El-Sayed has also drawn criticism for declining repeatedly to answer whether Israel has a right to exist during a CNN interview in June.
Much like Piker, El-Sayed has also engaged in violent rhetoric, promising to “choke out” Republicans and referring to moderates like Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman (D) as ogres to have their heads cut off and put on pikes.
Refusing to answer questions about the association with Piker does not answer El-Sayed’s own views that align him with Piker.
Ironically, all the attention to Piker has drawn attention away from El-Sayed’s own views.
El-Sayed has extreme views that go beyond his position toward Israel and include wealth taxes, reparations, and radical changes to our constitutional system.
I grew up in a liberal, politically active Democratic family in Chicago. I no longer recognize that party today, including its anti-free-speech elements. Saying that you are a “Big Tent party” does not answer the question of whether the party stands for anything other than regaining power. There has to be some defining element to a party beyond power. El-Sayed is that defining moment.
The time has come to carry out a full Civil War against the IslamoCommuNazis. Branding irons need to created with the Nazi Swastika, the Islamic Crescent Moon, and the Commie Hammer and Sickle. After the IslamoCommuNazis are rounded up, the sizzling hot branding irons can be applied to the faces and bodies of the IslamoCommuNazis so they can be readily identified. Also, this will actually make the IslamoCommuNazis very happy because they will think of the results of the hot branding irons as tattoos they will be proud of. I like making them happy in that way.
MAGA sicko.
In the end, none of this stuff matters. Midterm elections always hinge on partisan turnout – who shows up? That is why 80-100% of the close contests always break in the same direction. If El Sayed wins, so does Talarico, Brown, and Peltola. If Paxton wins cleanly, so does Sununu. If TX goes into recount and we don’t know who won on Nov 4, then the Senate will probably be 50-50.
Yet ‘this stuff’ motivates partisan voters, so ‘this stuff’ matters.
Here is the comment that I made a year ago thats still true: Professor Turley, In many ways it’s the same Democrat Party that you and your family supported for a long time:
Still embracing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, Environmental Protection, and Civil Rights.
The Nazi’salsoembracedallthosethings.
Jbsay thinks we shouldn’t care for the elderly because that’s a ‘Nazi idea’. Like we’d be morally better off throwing poor elderly people out on the street.
No, dimwit, he never said we shouldn’t. He pointed out that just being for those things doesn’t make someone good.* Logic. Logic. What do they teach in these schools?
*And anyway the Dems are now opposed to civil rights, which definitely makes them bad.
Estovir, your twisted logic reveals a warped mind. And in case you haven’t figured it out, the MAGA movement is dead. Trump ‘was’ the MAGA movement and his popularity is mired in the low 30’s. He ain’t coming back.
Estovir, keep dreaming. Your alarm clock will ring soon.
The MAGA movement won’t be dead until there are 400+ votes in the House to impeach and 95+ votes in the Senate to convict and remove Trump and JD from office. Until then it doesn’t matter how unpopular MAGA is; the Machine is installed and won’t be stopped. Every stupid item on the Project 2025 list will move along just the same.
Gee let’s see, Trump or Socialism ( a euphemism for communism) ending the Senate, taxing everyone to death so illegals can have everything free, men beating up women in sports, and aborting babies at birth? That is the Demonacratic party. Worried about affordability, let’s look at the Democrats track record. Carter, Obama and Biden all had worse economies and higher inflation, gas prices for Obama and Biden where way higher and even higher if adjusted for inflation. Clinton’s economy sucked to but the Tech bubble bailed him out and that bubble burst right after Clinton got out of office. Also it was Clinton’s era banking regulations that led to the mortgage crash or 2007-2008.
Only idiots would vote for more of that.
sorry, MAGA will be echoing in your empty TDS head forever just as it surely is now. Do you think everyone who wants to live in a greater nation is just going to change their mind? trump has proved it is possible to turn this country around. My Trump vote has been the most effective vote of my life. Trump has completely surpassed my expectations and I suspect yours too. Don’t you just hate living in a country made greater by someone you simply dislike? We don’t care what you think.
Putting your words in other’s mouths will make you a lefty firebrand. How come you lefty’s always speak in such stark terms? I thought orange man was gonna enslave or murder DeNiro along with all you leftys? That wasn’t true? well the left actually got some crazies to believe it. THEY BELIEVED IT! I consider what the left did to DeNiro as elder abuse. He’s obviously losing his reason and has become paranoid because of leftys hyperbole.
Promoting all or nothing thinking distortions only work on those that cannot reason for themselves. No one is as heartless as you can imagine. And you must imagine it in order to condemn such common sense. use your brain!
CC – you are not living in the contemporary world. The Dems have strayed very far from embracing civil rights. Now they embrace racism, official censorship, and indoctrinating little kids against their parents’ wishes.
Democrats of today support amendments 13, 14, and 15, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act (1968)
But they hate the First Amendment
Estovir, they also hate the second amendment.
Gee, that is exactly what he is saying, they have strayed far from the 1960’s. Name something that supported civil rights by the Democrats since Obummer in 2009? Oh yeah Biden’s Disinformation Governance Board also known as the Ministry of Truth was great on Free Speech, working with big Tech to silence anyone with a different opinion. Or how about mandating experimental vaccines for all people, even with religious objections or health concerns? And what about the Jewish people’s civil rights? The Democrat’s Jew hate is what cements the Communist with the Islamist. Otherwise the god hating communists would have nothing to do with the God dictates everything Islamist.
The Democratic party today is not the Democratic party of the 1960’s to say that it is lying. The Red/Green coalition is a coalition that cannot last if they ever gain power.
Estovir thinks mass deportations don’t count as racism.
Only an idiot would think actual enforcement of the immigration laws on the books constitutes racism.
The First Lady lied on her visa application to come to the US. Time to revoke her naturalization and send her and her parents back to where they came from. That would be the “actual enforcement of immigration laws.”
Provide a legal basis for Social Security, Medicare, Education, Environmental Protection, and the balance of the components of the unconstitutional communist American welfare state.
Congress may tax for debt, defense, and general Welfare, that is security and basic infrastructure that serves “general” or all or the whole, not one, some or a few, understanding that Social Security and Medicare serve 18.7% of the population and the departments mentioned constitute unenumerated regulation per Article 1, Section 8.
The legal basis is set forth in the Supreme Court opinion in Helvering v Davis (1937).
Democrats have embraced candidates who campaign on the following:
1. Eliminate the Senate
2. Let Congress choose and replace the president and judiciary
3. Amnesty for all illegal invaders
4. End all deportations
5. Defund the Department of War
6. Establish a wealth tax to confiscate more money
7. Ban combustion engines
8. Censor speech Democrats don’t like
8. Many other lunatic ideas
Thanks to the embrace of the Democratic Party, we are now $40 trillion in debt.
#. Piker is standing on a stage in the US saying right to your faces—-> if you disagree with me, with us, you will die. Agree with us and you’ll live. That’s extortion.
You fly flags and talk about free speech. You do nothing as Americans are murdered.
Extortion and criminal threats from a Capo in the moslem brotherhood.
Check 1933 and the purge Smyrna, Constantinople, then Armenia and see who they are.
Hopefully Debbie DIngbat and Abdul He-Sayed She-Sayed will suffer the overwhelming defeats their stupid duplicity has more than earned. Unfortunately, with non-citizens voting alongside hordes of gullible imbecile products of our public indoctrination, ah, I mean education, system, that cannot be assumed.

Democrats find innumerable ways to justify not condemning the rabid among them. It makes those of us who long for reason, decorum and open and honest discourse to turn away from them, their arguments and their pleas for our votes. I see more and more disingenuous ads for Democrat candidates. Attack ads, ads disguised as being from disenchanted conservatives, even ads posturing as Republicans who are now supporting radical Democrats. All produced and financed by some of the most left-wing PACs in operation today. What bothers me, and others, is that we can see through the dishonesty. We recognize it for what it is and we don’t like it, we don’t respect it, we don’t accept it and we will not be associated with it. To those who say “well, both sides do it” I reply that I have watched the morphing of the Democrat Party from a bastion of genuine liberal thought and principle to a party of radicalism and anti-American sentiment seemingly dedicated to the destruction of the very core of the American Miracle. I am done with everything Democrat. Everything. All of them. The entire Democrat Party. And, until I hear Democrats condemn the lunacy of the radicals and others operating under the protective cover of their “Big Tent” while promoting hatred and Anti-Americanism and witness a renewed dedication to civil discourse and a traditional competition of ideas, don’t bring your vitriol to my door. I’m done with it.
Alex Jones was rather rabid and the conservatives said not a word about him.
The traditional competition of ideas is to put them into effect – to use them and see which works out better. It’s not to talk about them within echo chambers. The Republicans generally don’t want to see competing ideas tried anywhere; they have too much to lose to other, better, ideas.
Ales Jones is Esovi
This is a direct and mortal enemy of the American thesis of freedom and self-reliance, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, actual Americans, and America.
This unassimilable traitor must be detained and deported with extreme prejudice.
Musk Is No Piker
Speaker Mike Johnson is planning to meet with GOP megadonor Elon Musk in Texas on Friday, according to four people familiar with the meeting.
The tech billionaire is reportedly considering spending at least $100 million for the GOP through his super PAC, America PAC, on this year’s midterms — but the full scope of where that spending will take place remains unclear. Some Republicans believe Musk is weighing directing some of that money to key House GOP battleground races, according to two of the people.
Musk spent roughly $290 million for Trump and Republicans in the 2024 election, mainly through his super PAC, making him the largest individual donor to political committees during the cycle.
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/28/mike-johnson-plans-meeting-elon-musk-midterms-01054083
……………………………………………
Interestingly, this article notes that Trump controls a super pac estimated to have $400 million in cash. But will Trump spend that money assisting Republicans this fall? No one’s really positive. Trump might find a way to transfer that money into his own pockets.
^ More Chinese propaganda slop ^
^ More Russian propaganda slop ^
Any Musk spend is going into turnout operations (NOT ads). That money won’t go into Trump’s pocket, but if Trump is able to retain BOTH houses of Congress for the next 2 years, that will put billions into Musk’s pocket in the form of government contracts. Musk has every reason to spend up to the limit of what could actually be effective.
The vast majority of government contracting is done the executive branch, not Congress.
It will put billions of US tax dollars into Trump’s pockets.
Ever here of Soros and the the unions money.
The marxists are NOT “the big tent party.” Most Americans don’t belong in that group–at least, I sure hope they don’t! They hate our nation–hate our constitution, our form of government, our people, our history.

Trade War With Canada Could Get El Sayed Elected
Every day $1bn worth of goods crosses the river dividing Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, two largely blue-collar US and Canadian cities that have come to act as one in the creation of North America’s auto industry.
News this week of Donald Trump’s escalating trade spat with Canada has everyone worried. Political and economic leaders and observers labeled the move an act of “hubris” , blamed Trump’s “ego”, and called the escalation “insanity”.
Control of the US Congress hangs in the balance and will almost certainly be decided by several close Michigan races. It also comes just two months after polling highlighted Michiganders’ fatigue with and opposition to the president’s unprecedented tariff program.
By a 63%-31% margin, residents here oppose tariffs on Canadian goods, according to a June Epic-MRA poll, including 35% of Republicans. Meanwhile, nearly 75% of Michiganders said the tariffs are fueling high prices.

KEY PASSAGE ABOVE:
By a 63%-31% margin, residents here (Michigan) oppose tariffs.
Michigan has the most to lose from Trump’s mindless trade war with Canada. This alone could greatly benefit El Sayed.
^ Look for the line of dots, then you know it’s Chinese communist propaganda slop.

Trump’s Unpopularity Dragging U.S. Down – Pew Research
A new Pew Research Center survey finds negative – and often overwhelmingly negative – views of U.S. President Donald Trump in regions around the globe.
Across 36 nations polled, a median of 23% of adults express confidence in his leadership of world affairs. In many countries, confidence in Trump has slipped since last year.
Overall ratings for the United States are also largely negative. Favorable views of the country have declined in many places over the past year, including double-digit drops in Indonesia, Italy, Nigeria, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey.
The share of the public who considers the U.S. a reliable partner has declined steeply in many countries since we last asked this question in 2022, during Joe Biden’s presidency.
This downward turn in opinion has taken place in several nations with which the U.S. has longstanding economic and security ties. For example, in Canada, 83% described the U.S. as a reliable partner in 2022, compared with 35% today. Large declines have also been measured in some of America’s key Asia-Pacific partners.

Trump is awesome, greatest American President ever. Saving America from the worst enemies ever in an undeclared war against our Constitutional Republic from within. His DOJ should hang a few of these criminals to stem the flow of their war.
They chose to seek power for its own sake a long time ago. The party of your parents no longer exists and will never return. Those of us who know you wonder how long you will cling to a party that opposes everything you stand for. Where you are liberal in the classic definition they have become very illiberal, intolerant and racist. Any Democrat politician that stands against them will be purged as has happened before. It is time to part ways with your old party before you are tainted by it.
Do you stitch around the eyeholes of your KKK hood or just go with an iron-on reinforcement?
Dingell’s bleats and brays reminds me of the early 1930s in Germany where the new regime (yes, THAT one) insisted that any ‘news’ that didn’t support the Party was only going to ‘divide’ the German Volk and the regime surely was not going to permit that. Chez Odysseus 2.
Here are some relevant news stories as reported by the Bee:
– El-Sayed forces Democrats to take a stance on whether terrorism is good
– Democrats distance themselves from Hasan Piker after realizing he’s wearing a suicide vest
– Hasan Piker says anyone trying to twist his words as antisemitic is a dirty lying Jew
– El-Sayed says beheading an infidel with a machete no different than a haircut
– Democrats celebrate El-Sayed victory by firing AK-47s into the air
– Middle East expanded to include Michigan
– Girl Scouts to award Muslim badge to any girl who gets married before age 8

https://babylonbee.com/news
Lindsay Clancy has agreed to be the poster child for women’s reproductive rights. Why not, planned parenthood equates abortions with reproductive rights.
Absolutely. I didn’t know this until today, but Lindsay is paralyzed from the waist down. She obviously didn’t want the burden of raising children in her condition, so she killed them. It is just a “post partem abortion” right? Now she could have just given the children to someone else, but she didn’t have the decency to do that. She needs to hang.
She obviously didn’t want the burden of raising children in her condition
You’re not wrong in saying she should be convicted, but I’m just pointing out that she wasn’t paralyzed when she killed her kids.
The Fall: She jumped from the second floor of her Duxbury, Massachusetts, home.
The Timing: The incident occurred the same night her three young children—Cora, Dawson, and Callan—were killed.
She was prescribed some dozen or so psychoactive drugs by physicians to combat post-partum depression. She had been handling the first two without trouble, could have aborted the third if she felt it would be a burden. She wasn’t paralyzed until after; there was no physical burden. Her physicians need to be investigated for dumping a toxic cocktail of mind altering drugs on her without considering that the drugs might make her condition far worse.
More MAGA diversion, trying to portray Democrats in a bad light while ignoring issues of international importance that affect all of us because of the reaction of the rest of the world to Trump and the pathetic displays of arrogance that he keeps getting away with. Yesterday, King Donald of the Dynasty of Trump signed an Executive Decree purporting to rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America” because Canada imposed reciprocal tariffs after he couldn’t bully them. “Lake Ontario” has borne that name since long before Canada was a country or the Declaration of Independence was signed. King Donald is also threatening to re-name either the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean, or both, the “American Ocean”, just like he thinks he can re-name the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. I’m wondering how much money we taxpayers are going to have to spend to reverse all of this nonsense. Of course, Trump’s stupid re-naming isn’t binding on any other country, but our government will be required to reprint maps and other documents. Like most Americans, I refuse to go along with the whims of King Donald.
This isn’t some little laugh it off silliness. It’s more of Trump’s bullying when he doesn’t get his way and more evidence of his emotional and mental instability. As one pundit I heard this morning said: “who doesn’t like Canadians”? They are our largest trading partners and closest neighbors. We had enjoyed an interdependent trading relationship, but King Donald keeps claiming that they’re “ripping us off” (can Trump ever get out of the seventies?). It hasn’t even been 2 years yet, and just look at all of the damage he’s already done.
Gigi, all of your comments begin with “More red meat for MAGA blah blah blah.” You are very predictable and boring. Don’t you even bore yourself? Try varying your comments a little. It might make your miserable life just a tad more interesting.
Since Turley went on the MAGA payroll, almost everything he writes is MAGA–ignoring Trump and his incompetence, his corruption, his lying and his bullying and attacking Democrats. Why can’t you respond to facts you don’t like without calling me or others who post things you don’t like “Gigi” or attacking us personally?
It IS a serious matter when a US President imposes illegal tariffs, gets shot down by his own Supreme Court, then re-imposes them, ignoring the fact that tariffs are a sales tax on purchases made by Americans and are, therefore, paid by us. It IS a serious matter when a US President starts a war based on a lie, then keeps lying about “winning”, keeps lying about Iran begging for peace talks, keeps lying about the Strait of Hormuz being open, keeps lying about gas prices going down rapidly. It IS a serious matter when he alienates our trading partners. I know MAGA media doesn’t cover this, but border states and Las Vegas used to get lots of business from Canadian tourists–that market is drying up–and it IS Trump’s fault because he keeps insulting them and trying to bully them. It IS a serious matter when a US President thinks he has the power to re-name lakes, gulfs and oceans out of pettiness and arrogance–it is disrespectful to other countries and a shameful display of arrogance.
I’ve asked this question many times before–what would Republicans do if Barak Obama, our first black President who is still enormously popular, had re-named after himself aircraft carriers already named and under construction, tried to put his name above that of Kennedy on the JFK Center for Performing Arts, re-named an airport, and torn down part of the White House to build a vanity gilded ballroom to honor himself? They would still be screaming.
That still doesn’t make you interesting. Maybe you should go out and make some friends.
Saying “Turley went on the MAGA payroll” removes you from the land of reasonableness, unless you’ve got evidence, which you don’t, since you’d have posted it if you did.
Read the comments every day from multiple posters, including myself, on how Turley, since he went on the Fox payroll, echoes the same MAGA stories by Fox and other MAGA media. This is something I frequently point out because of how comparatively unimportant and biased are the topics Turley writes on about the culture war stuff, attacks against Democrat politicians, dredging up the “Hunter Biden Scandal” and the other deflections away from Trump and his corruption and incompetence, which are very serious.
Our country is in a crisis right now–Trump thinks he can simply do as he pleases. He started an unnecessary war, Trump has alienated our allies, depleted our weapons stockpile, insulted our military, and has decimated our economy. It’s not even been 2 years yet. Worst of all, he’s trying to prevent states from allowing voting by mail, even though he votes by mail, all without any evidence of any fraud or corruption. The Constitution clearly says that states control the “times, places and manner” of voting, and that Congress can pass legislation on voting, but nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Executive Branch has any control over voting. Trump doesn’t care–he rules by Executive Order. That’s not how our government is supposed to operate. He doesn’t care. He constantly lies. The latest is that he’s intending to send over a thousand “election monitors” to the polls in November–why? No reason other than to intimidate voters and try to make up some lie about fraud when Republicans lose control of the House, and hopefully, the Senate as well.
You want “evidence”–why not watch mainstream news? The Canadian Prime Minister addressed the “Lake Ontario” issue. Trump’s pathetic Executive Order signing ceremony was broadcast, too in which he took his Sharpie and crossed off the name “Ontario” and replaced it with “America”, and then threatened to rename the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Here’s what “Travel and World Tour” says about the Canadian boycott:
“A significant decline in Canadian tourism to the United States in 2025 is causing noticeable economic distress in border states, revealing just how vulnerable regional tourism economies are to fluctuations in international travel patterns and geopolitical tensions. Recent research highlights that states like Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, and Montana are experiencing substantial drops in Canadian visitors, with some areas seeing a 30% reduction year-over-year.”
From “Business Insider”, August 25, 2026:
“Despite President Donald Trump’s Truth Social declaration that “WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US!” on Monday, Las Vegas is doing its best to court visitors from Canada as it grapples with plummeting Canadian tourism.
The casino and convention hub is particularly vulnerable to Canadian calls to boycott travel to the US, as Canada has historically been Las Vegas’ largest international source market. In 2025, when Trump imposed tariffs and repeatedly expressed his desire to annex Canada as the 51st state, about 18% fewer Canadians visited Las Vegas than the year before — a decline of roughly 250,000 visitors.”
You speak of “reasonableness”–none of this is “reasonable”–it is all outrageous–the product of a sick malignant narcissist that Republicans refuse to rein in. Turley has an answer for that, too–the “age of rage”.
Barack Obama is only half black. Are you sure that’s enough-black for you?
Obviously, he’s too black for you MAGAs.
Gigi, playing the race card is exceptionally lame because there’s no truth to it. There are many black conservatives who appeal to MAGA people, including such people as Byron Donalds, Larry Elder, Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Condoleezza Rice, and Thomas Sowell, to name a few.
They appeal because they denounce Blackness. They might as well start every sentence with “I love White People, so …” At their best they are token Blacks who are tolerated because they have sold out to billionaires who pay millionaires to convince middle and lower class people to become minions to the oligarchs. Condolezza Rice is who convinced Colin Powell to lie about the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and start a forever war there. Those bootlickers will do whatever it takes to stay on the gravy train from the likes of Leonard Leo.
The blackest thing on Obama were his lungs from smoking.
Democrats have a habit of creating the “bad light” that shines upon them. Abandoning “the working class” in favor of the dependent class and alleging a big tent to accommodate DSA lunatics are just two examples. The rest of the world secretly breathes a sigh of relief that Trump is actually doing what they lack the courage to do. There is nothing “interdependent” about a 400% tariff on US farmers. That is quite simply abuse. Our “allies” need to understand that favorable trade agreements to help rebuild Europe after WW2 are now outdated and in need of reform.

Polls show that Trump is universally unpopular. In fact, Trump has worked very hard at being hated. Which raises an obvious question: ‘Why does Trump go out of his way to alienate everyone?’
And we all know that polls are accurate and pollsters never lie. Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!
Estovir, are the following items favored by the Democrats more popular than Trump in the polls:
Men in women’s sports, locker rooms, and showers. Drag queen story hour for kindergarteners, gay porn in elementary schools, chopping off kids’ genitals, abolishing the police, erasing the borders, packing the Supreme Court, killing domestic energy production, suppress free speech by colluding with social media companies and establishing a Ministry of Truth, masking young children, imposing vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, debanking, censoring, and deplatforming people who object to injecting an experimental cocktail of toxic chemicals into their bloodstream, late-term abortion and infanticide, supporting terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah, indoctrinating kids into CRT racism, cultural Marxism, converting late-night comedy into angry partisan diatribes, assassinating the candidate for President from the opposing party, assassinating that same person after he becomes president, assassinating health care executives, assassinating political commentators with whom one disagrees, supporting socialism or communism.
“chopping off kids’ genitals” is called circumcision.
Anyway, great compilation list of the biggest lies told on Fox News.

El-Sayad and other Democeatic Socialists (DSA) represent a serious threat to our system of government. Essentially, DSA individuals want to destroy our constitutional republic and replace it with Marxist tyranical rule. If elected, DSA individuals will be required to swear and oath declaring to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the Unied States of America.” Affirmation of this oath would be in direct conflict with their stated platform and agenda. They would be lying. Two questions arise from this dilema: (1) Can DSA individuals who swear allegance to the Constitution be procecuted for lying under oath?; (2) Can Congress prevent DSA individuals from being sworn into office, because of their stated agenda?
Tim Pattison is Estovir. Another puppet to remember.

Article I Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution grants each the House and Senate power to decide if elected members are eligible to be seated. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1969 in Powell v McCormack limited that power of Congress only to challenge whether the elected official meets the requirements of age, citizenship, or residency. So technically one could run for office stating to not support the current Constitution (i.e., DSA positions to abolish the Senate, abolish the Electoral College, have Congress elect the President) only to take the oath of office “ . . . to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic” in full knowledge that doing so is lying and, according to Supreme Court case law, there is nothing that can be done about it. However, as has been said elsewhere, the Constitution is not a suicide pact. If a DSA member is elected to either the House or Senate this election cycle, and if either the House or Senate remains under a Republican majority, that elected DSA member should be refused to be seated. This would tee up a constitutional issue that would require the Supreme Court to reconsider the decision in Powell v McCormack. (I’d bet that Justice Thomas would relish that.) If an elected official is allowed to take the oath of office that he or she knowingly, in advance, is determined to violate, what good is it to pledge to an oath?
Article I Section 5 is vague as to the power of the House to “judge the Qualifications” of members-elect. Obviously, this cannot be a decision where political-agreeability with the majority becomes a “qualification”.
What, then, are the limits on such “convenient” definitions of being Qualified? In this case, the Warren Court correctly found that Qualifications are only those cited in Section 2. That still leaves the House the option of swearing in a crook, a violent gangster, etc., then promptly removing that member by a 2/3 vote. (The House would not be under any obligation to swear in a dead member-elect, i.e., being alive and sentient is an implicit Qualification. An imposter would present a bizarre case, but I believe the Sargeant-at-Arms could refuse entry of the imposter to the chamber, thus precluding swearing in).
The answers are NO and NO. If they win, they go into office.
Cool. Trump is a pedophile and the Republicans are ok with that. Vote Blue. Oh yeah – and it’s still Lake Ontario.
For an accusation to have any sting, it has to be based in some level of truth. Saying “Trump is a pedophile” has no sting at all because it’s so divorced from reality. Like if someone tried to make Obama look bad by saying that he tortured 17 puppies to death at the top of Mount Everest.
Agreed. And the puppy torturer was Fauci.
Your Stalinist lawfare is over. Trump is not a pedophile so quit lying and projecting when Biden’s own daughter said Biden was not only pedo but incestuous.
Think of that fish eating a fish eating a fish diagram. It applies to the Dems.
Small fish is Dems, being eaten by bigger fish which is DSA, being eaten by even bigger fish which is Communism, being eaten by biggest fish which is radical Islam.
