Republicans are offering Americans nothing -- literally, nothing

If you were asked to name one substantive policy or initiative passed by Republicans during 2016-2018—the last time they held sway in the House, Senate, and executive branch—the only answer would be their huge tax giveaway to the nation’s corporations and wealthiest individuals in 2017.

Tax cuts for the very rich—and by “rich,” we are talking about the wealthiest 1% of all Americans—have been the singular foundation of all GOP policy for the past five decades.

All of the noise and histrionics about so-called social issues (abortion, immigration, gun ownership) has simply been a useful vehicle to accomplish that solitary imperative: cutting taxes for the richest Americans.

Conversely, any policy or effort by Democrats to legislate benefiting the remaining 99% of the American population has been met with stiff and unyielding opposition.

Watch: Conservative gets hammered on The View after blaming inflation on Democrats

IN RECENT MAGAT NEWS: The ACLU has accused DeSantis of  a grotesque abuse of power in his arrest of people who simply thought they had the right to vote and were registered to do so. 

While a FOX News host reportedly TRIED to hold S.C. House candidate Republican Nancy Mace's feet to the fire for the GOP plot to cut Social Security and Medicare, but reportedly there were so many lies it was difficult to pin her down on just ONE.

Democrats have been rightfully ramping up attacks on the GOP over their planned cuts to Social Security and Medicare. 

MEANWHILE, Kevin McCarthy has reportedly gone FULL **** in his embrace of the crazy radical "Christian" caucus,  and 'chaos is coming' according to a former GOP House member

While tragically ignorant Marjorie Taylor Greene (who mistakenly thought she was at a memorial for Confederates last week has been TRASHED for her Confederacy Remarks, by Civil War Historians no less. 

Also in the news, FKR Carlson, who doesn't mind slandering, demonizing, and denigrating OTHER people, apparently doesn't like it when his SON gets dragged into HIS kind of dirt. He reportedly threatened NRCC Chair Tom Emmer in a  row over his mention of sonny Buckley Carlson.  What goes around, btch. 

And to no surprise, bratty golden boy Tom Brady (who gets away with all kinds of **** no one else does) reportedly texts with Ron DeSantis. (is there a volleyball stadium in his future as well?) 

And in other news, a conservative columnist BLASTED ex-imitation 'democrat" Tulsi Gabbard, calling her an 'Opportunistic, attention-starved MAGA upstart' with no vision.

Yeah. sounds about right.
 

In MAGA CULT NEWS:
.
A GOP operative who was paid thousands by Florida Republican Party this summer, and who was allegedly attacked while canvassing this week happens to be an activist with a prominent history of violence and racist comments. According to the mother of one of the accused assailants, her son was NEVER political. Further details are pending.
.
Fact is, MAGAS love to FRAUDULENTLY paint Democrats as responsible for violent crime. Just like the fraudulently claim Democrats don't support police. Progressives in Congress have funded law enforcement more than THEY have.  FACT.
.
However studies cited in recent articles prove otherwise. Including a study released in March 2022 which found that “8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.”
.
And As pointed out by a criminology expert who reportedly took a sledgehammer to GOP claims “blaming Democrats for an increase in crime.”
.
And also as pointed out by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joy Hofmeister during an Oklahoma debate, after Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt tried to shift the blame of his state's crime onto the shoulders of Democrats.
.
Quipped Krugman, ""Was Stitt unaware (of Oklahoma's crime rate)? Or was he just counting on his audience’s ignorance?" Well... MAGAS love the poorly educated, poorly informed, and easily BAMBOOZLED ... sooooo.
.
IN OTHER NEWS, GOP Gov. Kristi Noem will not face criminal prosecution for use of South Dakota government aircraft to fly to out of state events hosted by far right political organizations because rules don't apply to THEM.
.
And Ted Cruz who reportedly hid in a fkng CLOSET during the J6 INSURRECTION, STILL refuses to acknowledge that PRESIDENT Biden was legitimately elected (apparently still sucking Trump d------ WELL after the latter insulted his father AND his wife... the spineless WIMP.
.
And Alaska's GOP (slash) TRUMP ACOLYTES, voted to censure Mitch McConnell for refusing to back their lord and savior's endorsed Senate candidate. Pitiful Lemmings.

Well, TO NO SURPRISE Ron DeSantis’ Old Law Firm reportedly Received Millions in State Funds. gee wonder how THAT happened? 

And How's THIS for laffs? Republican Texas Rep. Mayra Flores tries to join a caucus made up exclusively of Democrats, just so she can use the rejection to stir up phony-assed outrage

THE MAGA PARTY:

DeSantis Scandal MIA DeSantis has done something that is not only immoral and unethical, but illegal and should be treated as a major scandal that could derail his re-election effort. I’m referring to the pathetic political stunt of shipping 50 Venezuelan immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard. Yes, the story has received some negative coverage in the media, but so far DeSantis has managed to avoid serious accountability.

(Not to mention how quiet the wanna-be dictator in chief had been on Bolsonaro).

But that failure certainly hasn't stopped THAT three time loser from infesting America whit his cancerous bile, nor will it stop his disciples from THEIR usual CHICANERY.
