Is that why every Republican has the same braindead take on Ukraine?

There are still some pro-Ukraine Republicans, especially in the Senate. They are nowhere near the majority however, but if enough of them decide to do the right thing (not likely, I realize) and vote with the Dems, a deal can still be made. Not going to happen until late January or February though.

Oh look at what the DOJ have done with that information. Zero arrested, zero movement.

Useless Merrick Garland.

They refuse to enforce the rules then wonder why no one is playing by them. Half the time I feel like they must be getting paid to act that incompetently.

How funny, when the WSJ posts polling showing Biden losing to Trump they cant be trusted because they are owned by Rupert Murdoch. But when it contributes to the echo chamber they couldnt be more right.

Lol. It’s so ridiculous to hear a right wing nut accuse anybody else of living in an echo chamber. No matter how hard you try to pretend otherwise, nothing will change the fact that most people actively avoid getting talked in an echo chamber. Reasonable people aren’t afraid to read the opposition viewpoint.

Your addiction to fear is not normal. It’s bizarre and unhealthy, and no, other groups don’t actively worship fear.

That’s cute, Dems vote solely out of fear, certainly never put of conviction. You even have the echo chamber talking points down, but of course cognitive dissonance makes you think you have independent thought.

OMG, that’s so ridiculously stupid. Progressives, who advocate social safety net policies, advocate for individual liberty and freedom…only try to enact policies to benefit underprivileged groups because…fear. Uh. Yeah, that’s not bat shit crazy. Not at all. In fact, I dare you to go help people. Like, at all. I know you won’t, cause we all know you’re afraid of anybody who doesn’t blindly agree with you.

Do you even think about what you’re saying?! Good lord. Not a day passes without RepubliQans loudly proclaiming how dangerous this or that group is. But the people advocate those groups… Obviously they’re afraid.

Hell, it’s literally impossible to compile a list of everything you guys demand people fear, only because you’ll never stop adding new items to the list.

Once again, only right wing nuts fear the idea of intentionally researching opposing view points (why is that again? Oh yeah, you’re all openly afraid of the evil way the scary leftys will corrupt your brain). No matter how you scream and cry and act like a petulant child, that doesn’t change the fact that everybody else will research opposing views. You’re approach to “independent thought” and “research” are completely abnormal and make no sense.

But we’re afraid. It’s beyond any comprehension how stupid your argument sounds.

Edit: You know what, you’re right. Republicans and Democrats all vote based on fear, but for different reasons. Republicans are afraid of minorities living their lives in peace. The idea of a minority not actively suffering terrifies them. Democrats? They’re afraid of anybody being forced to live in misery.

There, happy? (It’s a joke, get it? You don’t even know what happiness is, so question is funny, right??)

Fascists aren’t really any better than Republicans. In fact, I would go so far as to say the differences are marginal at most.

It’s always a lame nitpick, anything to distract from what their asshole hero is doing. Deflect, deflect, deflect. It would be boring if it wasn’t so awful.

Weirdly, you got a reply and I did not. The fact that they don’t reply to serious questions and only try to pick fights makes it clear the person is trolling

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
