All things change…including language . 😂

 

English speakers started using prosaic to refer to anything considered matter-of-fact or ordinary, and they gradually transformed it into a synonym for "colorless," "drab," "lifeless," and "lackluster."

Mainly because I don’t have the time

Or energy to frame a good rhyme

The most delightful revelation was a quote from Republican senator Lindsey Graham. “Going to Mar-a-Lago is like being in North Korea. Everybody stands up and claps every time Trump comes in.

And yet it is the elite in DC and particularly the high level Democrats (a.k.a. Hillary, John K., etc.) that are calling for DPRK type laws for speaking out against the government.  When will the Democrats start calling for re-education camps?

i even see people on facebook that were wishing for the florida hurricanes to flatten Mar-a-Lago.
it is sad that people can't see the evil in wishing harm on someone just because they don't like his policies.

Democrats are famous for doing just that.  Absolutely no compassion or tolerance for anyone that strays from their views.  I detest the policies of the likes of Hillary, Obama, Biden, KK, but I would never wish them personal ill.  It seems like the Democrats have become like the Church of Scientology, if you leave, or stop believing in their mantra, you become a non-person available for personal attack.

Another example of petulant leftists/Democrats.

 

“No Kidding! No Joke!” Liberals Call on Biden to Commit Unconstitutional Acts in his Final Days

 

The list includes emptying death row, canceling all student and medical debt, halting weapons shipments to Israel, ending the death penalty, declaring the Equal Rights Amendment a constitutional amendment, and granting clemency to nonviolent drug offenders.

 

Other pundits have pushed Biden and Democrats to take some of the actions on Moore’s list before the end of the administration.

 

Many of these items could only be fulfilled by knowingly gutting the Constitution and assuming the powers of a monarch. That includes just canceling all student and medical debt in defiance of both the courts and Congress.

 

As discussed in my most recent column, others have added to that bucket list.

 

Take Olbermann who, while insisting that he is fighting to “save democracy,” has called upon Biden to target political opponents like Elon Musk with deportation: “If we can’t do that by conventional means, President Biden, you have presidential immunity. Get Elon Musk the F out of our country and do it now.”

The only camps on the horizon are those spouted by the maga extremists…with promised raids and full force military enforcers ( yup National Guard too) alongside eager rogue goon squads.

 

Trump’s new grievance directly echoed a seemingly new talking point Vance delivered last week, blaming the school-age children of undocumented immigrants for a decline in the quality of American education. And in doing so, he has put a target on the back of every brown child in Los Angeles, regardless of their citizenship status.

Passed in 1798 as a part of the notorious Alien and Sedition Acts, the Alien Enemies Act is a deeply flawed authority with a sordid history.

Armed Militia 'Hunting FEMA' Causes Hurricane Responders to Evacuate—Report

 

Federal emergency response workers operating in North Carolina's Rutherford County in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene were told to evacuate on Saturday over concerns that an "armed militia" was threatening workers in the area, it has been reported.

 

An official with the U.S. Forest Service, which is supporting recovery efforts along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), sent an message to numerous federal agencies at around 1 p.m. on Saturday warning that FEMA has advised all federal responders in Rutherford County to "stand down and evacuate the county immediately," The Washington Post reported.

National Guard troops had come across two trucks of "armed militia saying they were out hunting FEMA," the email said. "The IMTs [incident management teams] have been notified and are coordinating the evacuation of all assigned personnel in that county."

From Covid lies to FEMA lies, disinformation is in MAGA's DNA

Spreading baseless conspiracy theories isn’t an accident or a byproduct of Republican politics: It’s central to their entire political project.

The only side promoting laws curtailing political free speech is your side, you know the extremist left.  I have yet to hear of any maga person suggesting that.  You get to own it since you support these folks that want to eliminate a freedom we have enjoyed for nearly 250 years.

Why is any money allocated to FEMA being used for anything other than emergency management from a natural or physical disaster?  Are you suggesting that FEMA is treating the mess Old Corrupt Petulant Joe and his sidekick border tsar KK as a disaster?

Show me where Democrats actually tell the truth?  I know, like elucidating KK's policies, I am not expecting a response.

You would have thought that if FEMA were doing their job in the areas affected by these natural disasters, then the “armed militias” would not have had to “hunt” very hard, as the FEMA folks would be easy to find. 🤔

 

Maybe they were part of a search and rescue mission to locate the elusive FEMA personnel?

 

Maybe they were armed in case they had to end up messing’ wit sasquatch?

 

Or maybe it’s just more scare tactics from the administration to excuse the abysmal, inept and inadequate response seen on the ground?
