The Ronz Posted May 22 Posted May 22 That Congressman actually used the words "expansion population." Is that what they're calling the "surplus population" nowadays? The Speaker of the House said "We find dignity in our work..." which has been phrased in the past as arbeit macht frei. 1 Quote

CMRivdogs Posted June 3 Posted June 3 There seems to be a lot of this going around in MAGA circles. Yet they want to gut education Quote

I don't even get the point for the activist. The proof she's not a serious person is right there if she can't think her way to the conclusion that she has more chance of her views influencing policy under an administration of her own party. Again, it's the primacy of the gesture, the performance, the public bow, and the ego massage associated, and the lack of concern or maybe understanding, of the actual outcome. And in the end she is only the reflection of the same intellectual rot infecting her constituency, which is just a slice of the larger messed up in the head and heart US public. 1 Quote
RatkoVarda Posted June 4 Posted June 4 until MAGA voters start caring about competence and truth, nothing will change. Nancy Mace having her people on social media with burner phones is a perfectly reasonable plan - that's what MAGA wants, sick burns and lots of engagement. Obama and Biden and Nancy Pelosi won't let us read the bill before we vote? MAGA still believes that stupid lie because they love the lie. If you told the average MAGA moron today that Pelosi stopped Marge from reading the bill, they would believe it. GOP will own the debt? Never, it's Obama's and it Pelosi's fault and Trump tried really hard but RINO's stopped him! The idea that GOP voters will acknowledge reality about who owns the debt (Americans) is laughable. **** off Tlaib. Quote

She seemed to matter to quite a lot of voters in her district in a swing state that narrowly went to Trump. I'll remember this when you mention any MAGA rep like Marjorie Taylor Green. Quote

In case you haven't noticed, Marjorie Taylor Greene matters quite a lot when it comes to influence on the administration as well as a third of the voting population, whereas Rashida Tlaib matters not even a little to her own party and to practically anyone else outside of her little enclave. The only reason she gets any attention at all is she's Muslim, she's swarthy, and she's lippy. Quote

She literally ran a campaign against her own party's nominee. Quote
ewsieg Posted June 4 Posted June 4 There are politicians that I don't agree with AND I don't like. Tlaib is one of them. I don't think she is a good person AND I don't think she's particularly smart. But blaming her for Trump....hahaha. That's hilarious. Because she wouldn't fall in line with Harris...just laughable. Kamala lost ground on middle eastern voters in Tlaib's district because many shared Tlaib's outrage regarding Gaza. Instead of Kamala finding a way to bridge that gap, she felt those votes were still guaranteed and chose to pander to the opposite side, trying to get more votes there. Honestly I haven't even looked at the numbers, it may not have even been that bad of a decision. Ultimately that was a DNC/Kamala determination though. 2 Quote

It's not that she didn't fall in line with Harris but she actively ran a campaign to not vote for Biden or Harris. She isn't the only reason Trump won Michigan, but to say she has no influence is crazy. The only to bridge the gap was for Harris and Democrats to go completely anti-Israel and even then I don't think that would have been enough. Quote

Motown Bombers Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Even a simpleton like myself can understand that if you urge people to not vote for Biden or Harris, the only other person who can win is Trump. Now she goes back to her constituents who she told to not vote for Biden and Harris with all the horrors of what the Trump administration is doing. This was the only outcome if you didn't vote for Harris. Simple folk can understand that. Quote
