If a Republican in Dallas asks you to shake hands, please be sure they washed their hands.
The Republican Party is the party of Stolen Valor and fake 9/11 victims… prove me wrong.
This is Romney’s former campaign manager. Speaking as an ex-Republican staffer one thing I tell people is that no one will go to the mat against our former party more than people like us. First, we’re bitter and angry for having been apart of what turned out to be a colossal, fascist lie.
Saw this on an @lsufootball.bsky.social poster: “If you want to win at the highest level, you have to become a villain in someone else's story.” This is what a college is telling malleable young adults. It perfectly encapsulates where we are in this country.
We’re through the looking glass here folks. Ossoff saying god bless our sailors is now code in MAGA for Democrats encouraging mutiny. This is some crazy shit. Republicans can’t claim to be more pro military anymore, and they’re coming up with bananas coping mechanisms.
If you had told me 20 years ago that Republicans would not only be responsible for the decline of American military power, but would actually cheer it on, I would have called you crazy. But here we are.
When looking at what's going on with our sailors in the Gulf, we need to start talking like Republicans. Donald Trump and every Republican in Congress does not care about our military and they hate America. I'm done giving them the monopoly on deciding who can and can't love this country.
Abdul El-Sayed as one Senator doesn’t have the power to single-handedly pass his agenda. But if elected, as one Senator he could have the power to stop Trump’s entire agenda and list of nominees.
If Republicans can’t call on the people who abuse their own children and grandchildren to resign from Congress, where is the line for them? Looking at you Bernie Moreno re: Max Miller.
The GOP's monstrous agenda aside, one of the big reasons I threw away my career in Republican politics (the only career I knew) was because I couldn't bear the idea of my children seeing me this spineless and servile.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agocult shit at the White House as Trump's cronies give him a standing ovation for minutes on end. Note how nobody wants to be the first to stop clapping.
Take it from a former GOP operative. The problem right now is fascism in the Republican Party. Because it is here and it is very real. I saw it firsthand and I was part of the system that built it.
Live look at the men charged with carrying out Hegseth’s testosterone tests.
So, account suspended on Threads. Zero warning. Zero explanation. Completely invisible to the community I had spent years cultivating. If my appeal is denied, there's no chance tell people where I've gone or what happened. You can just be unpersoned, like that.
To my fellow former Republican staffers. A father was shot in front of his toddler today. And the people you work for continue to be silent as our nation goes down a very dark road. Is it worth it?
I know this is the new normal on the right. But these scam fundraising texts from actual Republican members of Congress are disgraceful. Voters elect these people to serve their best interests, not scam them out of their paychecks, and Republicans brazenly abuse that trust. This one’s Rep. Patronis.
We shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that SCOTUS affirmed a lower court ruling that found Trump liable for rape.
Toward the end of my time with the Republican Party the hardest realization was that the overt racism coming from the party had been a feature going back over 50 years and I just chose to be blind to it. You can’t work for the GOP and not have this be a reflection of who you are as a person.
NO WAY!! Trump actually signed the capitulation to… I mean agreement with Iran at the Palace of Versailles!! Am I having a stroke!? This can’t be real. How humiliating. Is Macron trolling Trump?
So Iran not only succeeded in establishing dominance over the Strait of Hormuz, and getting billions from the United States, but now they’ve driven a wedge between the U.S. and Israel. Man, I’m so tired of all this winning.
This is a prominent Orange County Republican Party operative on yesterday’s UFC fight. Republicans have given up any pretense about even holding up small-d democratic values. This is a nakedly fascist movement
Vance is 100% lying to mask how bad they fucked up the War in Iran. The Union violently strangled the Confederacy to death. It's not the Negotiation at Appomattox Court House. It's the Surrender at Appomattox Court House.
Your friendly ex-Republican operative here with your routine reminder that Spencer Pratt was an entirely online campaign, driven by bots and AI videos. Nothing about it was authentic. The campaign made it appear there was a groundswell of support from traditionally blue areas.
Modern conservatives are irreparably broken. To use D-Day to compare modern Europe to the Nazi regime that murdered millions of Jews is grotesque. On top of that. To say their lives were wasted when millions were saved by their sacrifice is a disgrace.
Republicans are brazenly lying about election fraud and illegal voting. As a former California Republican operative I ran an election where we won by just 43 votes out of thousands of ballots cast.
Listening to the folks at Commentary Magazine’s podcast finally figure out that Witkoff and Kushner leading the peace negotiations with Iran might not be on the level is hilarious. This is just days after saying this was a brilliant move.
Talarico is talking about Ken Paxton releasing a child rapist at the behest of a donor. Paxton is talking about Talarico not eating meat. I can see how Republicans would think this is a hard choice.
Xi told Trump to his face that the US is in decline. The staggering level of incompetence and weakness Trump has displayed since coming to office made that moment possible. I can’t recall a US President being so humiliated by another leader in person on the world stage.
Matt Continetti who ironically works for AEI, whose goal is to champion limited government, channels King Louis XIV: “L'État, c'est Trump”
Conservative pundits like Liz whose job it is to pontificate and not face the job market like millions of Americans continue opine on subjects they have no idea about. A $250k job at 60 that’s a woman who worked up through the ranks for years.
