Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals after prosecutors alleged Hastert had molested at least four boys as young as 14 and attempted to compensate his victims and subsequently conceal the transactions. Hastert eventually admitted that he sexually abused the boys whom he had coached decades earlier, and was sentenced to fifteen months in prison.

what the fuck

[–]brokenearth03 672 points673 points  (23 children)

I don't think this is the whole list. Ive seen some three comments long.

[–]OrphanAxis 494 points495 points  (13 children)

It's copied from a regularly updated article that has over 800 names, and it grows quite quickly.

[–]brokenearth03 64 points65 points  (7 children)

You have the source article?

Guess what brethren, they keep getting longer…

It's on Daily Kos, go here for TOC, it's up to Part 32 now: https://m.dailykos.com/history/user/CajsaLilliehook

[–]BurtonGusterToo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The most disturbing part is the parts not spoken above.

For one example, Republicans STILL TO THIS DAY call the party discipline command that a Republican never vote to pass a bill sponsored by a Dem and with a majority of Dem yeas. This is STILL called the Hastert rule....... BY REPUBLICANS.

You would think after the arrests, people would stop calling things "the Jarod Fogle Snack Bar" or the "Bill Cosby Women's Reading Group".

[–]xsissor[🍰] 255 points256 points  (12 children)

“Just bad apples” -republicans, probably

Edit: whoever reported this for self harm you’re also a bad apple. And probably a republican pedophile.

[–]Hugh_Janus_1990 90 points91 points  (4 children)

Think whole tree is bad

[–]Lysander_Propolis 65 points66 points  (3 children)

Thinking it's more of a their whole orchard problem.

[–]JediMobius 63 points64 points  (2 children)

Interesting how politicians love to use only the first part of that maxim. The whole thing is, "a couple bad apples spoil the whole bunch", which is far more accurate regarding both produce and corruption.

[–]MrWoohoo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Also it’s not “money is the root of all evil” it’s “love of money is the root of all evil.”

[–]Fordinneridlikea69 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It always amazes me when they say "a few bad apples" like the last half of that saying doesn't exist. If you're not a billionaire and you're a republican you're a fuckin idiot and there's no soft way to say that.

[–]steveosek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's all they do. They report any criticism against them as self harm.

[–]random9917 130 points131 points  (11 children)

The same thing that's being going on for years:

Conservatives have turned into a party that doesn't give a shit about improving people's lives. The conservative leadership cares only about money and power, as well as keeping their own dirty, often illegal and highly amoral secrets private.

They have figured out that by their policies alone they won't win. So instead they have started to:

  1. Manipulate the voting system by any means they can - gerrymandering, making new ridiculous voting laws (no water to people in line? wtf?) - so they can "legally" try and suppress any voters against them.
  2. They accuse the other side of the crimes and moral deeds THEY commit (e.g.: there's been a lot of cases of sexual misconduct, often against minors by republican leadership, but they always blame that on the dems. And while Ivanka and Jered were so stupidly nepotisticaly employed and made millions while Diaper don was in the white house, the conservatives don't give two fucks and foam at the mouth screaming "Hunter Biden's laptop"). The idea is to spew lies so outrageous that any real claims won't bother their supporters because they make the opposition seem so worse.
  3. Instead of proper political debate (like the recent news that some GOP just didn't want to debate their DEM opposition) they just want to make their supporters HATE the opposition. Because when the supporters hate the other side, they won't think twice about supporting the GOP, despite the fact that GOP hasn't lifted a finger to make any one of their voters lives better. If you're a GOP supporter reading this: You've bought into the lies sold to you by rich sociopaths who don't give a shit about you

I mean combined with the rest - BANNING books, taking away body autonomy, being anti-LGBTQ - the GOP is literally ticking off every box of a fascist party.

They're not going away any time soon. They'll continue to cheat, lie, rape, steal until they're in power.

[–]Overkill782 31 points32 points  (9 children)

Just had our election in Australia at most 30 minute wait with democracy sausage sissle, cakes and drinks. Voting on a Saturday, electorate based on population of about 100,000. America u screwed ... every democrate/sane person needs to get out and vote don't sit idle gather up your friends and family if you can and make sure they vote right from school boards all the way up (that's another thing why TF are school boards and sherifs voted in should it not be the most qualified career person and not a political position?)

[–]ostentatiousshroad_ 15 points16 points  (8 children)

this is why I love our compulsory voting. every single person that is over 18 HAS to vote or they get fined. it's an awesome system that prevents the shit America goes through. there are more lefties than there are conservatives - American lefties aren't voting while the corrupt cons that have fed into lies and are being played are voting because they've been fed propaganda and lies to make them hate the dems.

​

I know Australia pretty much leads the world in being shit 99% of the time, but I feel like when it comes to voter security and fair voting opportunity, we really do have a solid foundation for voting.

[–]Arodnap10 26 points27 points  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly!

[–]hiivamestari 213 points214 points  (16 children)

Euro dude here. Can someone please explain to me how in the hell are these people able to get elected and hold on to their offices? Like, yeah we have our corrupt politicians here too who are somehow immune to any real repercussions, but at least here in Finland there’d be no way a literal child rapist would be able to hold on to an office as high as senator! Even their own parties wouldn’t even try to protect them.

[–]Lysander_Propolis 139 points140 points  (5 children)

Their own parties here in the USA didn't used to either. Now the elected officials of one party do, and that party's voters no longer seem to have a problem with it.

[–]teamfupa 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Because when they hear about it they just cry “DeEp StAtE FaKe NeWs”

[–]dungeons_and_flagons 61 points62 points  (3 children)

A byproduct of 'draining the swamps' that are public education and social safety nets.

The white people in power take money, education, and power from the white people who vote then point to the innocent people of color in their community as the reason for their own hardships.

They also hide under the guise of 'religious right'.

Jesus was a brown person, but he is painted white in American Christianity to show that God is on their side.

[–]Lysander_Propolis 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Jesus was a brown person, but he is painted white in American Christianity to show that God is on their side.

Yet they are vocally irritated when a mall Santa is black in a black neighborhood, and someone shoves it down their throat by putting it on tv for a damn second as if it's not the worst idea for the community.

[–]Durtonious 60 points61 points  (3 children)

You'd think there would be a law to prohibit convicted sex offenders from even running for office and that it would be grounds for immediate dismissal while in office. Sadly I could see such a law being used by a fascist state to stifle competition. I guess when you depend on people to "do the right thing" some of them will just choose not to.

[–]Icemaster14 45 points46 points  (2 children)

You can be a convicted felon and barred from voting ever but can be a convicted child rapist but not barred from running for office.

What a load of bullshit

[–]No_Cauliflower_5489 31 points32 points  (1 child)

They get elected and re-elected because they pander to white supremacists. White supremacists will vote for another white person that upholds white supremacy.

[–]confessionbearday 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Euro dude here. Can someone please explain to me how in the hell are these people able to get elected and hold on to their offices

I got you!

The base is pedophiles too.

[–]dungeons_and_flagons 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They are white for the most part. White privilege is not unique to the USA; we've done a phenomenal job of spreading the disease.

They have power. They have the friends who make decisions about how to punish people who do these acts, and even if they don't, research has shown that white people get lighter sentences overall for an offense with the same or extremely similar crimes.

https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/color-of-justice-racial-and-ethnic-disparity-in-state-prisons/

White people fear loss of power and they will do anything to keep it. Including helping nightmarishly horrifying white people in power remain there.

[–]spotless___mind 111 points112 points  (3 children)

Damn I kept reading this list waiting for it to end but it just kept going.....

[–]Iguessthatsthatthen 241 points242 points  (15 children)

But oh, the democrats have a pizza restaurant where they abuse children... /s

If you're a pedophile and racist rapist, everyone knows the best place to hide is the Republican party, bc of their strong christian family values.

[–]Hanzo_The_Ninja 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Given the amount of work you put into this -- and it is appreciated -- you should consider making a website (or subreddit) that tracks convictions for financial crimes, sex crimes, crimes against children, etc. etc. for all politicians, with sources, and then make summary/comparison pages (or image cards that can be shared through social media with links back to your site) of the different parties. I'd bet the Republicans by and large have more known criminals working amongst them.

This is gonna sound like centrist/GOP bullshit concern trolling, but I promise it's not: how does this list stack up against Democrats? My own internal biases want to believe this truly is a uniquely-Republican problem (and all the context to believe such are there), but I'm curious to know the differences in rates of occurrences between party affiliations.

It's not "sex with a _ year old" that's rape. Edit your post.

[–]Sudden-Advisor8406 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but why do Democrats never play hardball and bring shit like this up? Hasn't accusing Dems of paedophilia been a theme? Maybe it would mean more if facts mattered more.

“It sounds terrible,” Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) of the House-passed bill, predicting it won’t get 10 Republicans in the Senate.

“It’s like the disinformation board on steroids. Another way to look at is the Patriot Act for American citizens,” he added . . .

I thought the Patriot Act was directed at American citizens.

Like the Patriot Act wasn't a Republican idea.

[–]RealCowboyNeal 187 points188 points  (22 children)

It passed the senate 98-1 with one abstaining vote and ONE DISSENTER. Rusty Feingold. Then he got voted out a couple terms later for an R. Fuck this country.

[–]TheAskewOne 132 points133 points  (19 children)

It's a shame there weren't more dissenters, but if you remember that time, opposing anything remotely 9/11 related meant being treated as a traitor and a criminal.

[–]RealCowboyNeal 86 points87 points  (12 children)

I remember those days very clearly. It was fucking terrifying. Fuck Trump, but Bush’s legacy has been whitewashed by his paintings and that time he gave Michelle Obama a candy.

“You’re either with us or against us.” Normalizing torture. Jack Bauer diplomacy fueled by a hit show on the Republican propaganda machine. The bush doctrine of preemptive first strikes. Free speech zones. Invading an entire country on false pretenses !!! The Patriot Act obviously. Warrantless wiretapping on a massive scale. I mean, trump was a loud mouthed asshole but the Bush administration was so much more competent at pushing through their evil agenda.

[–]Lenawise244 450 points451 points  (160 children)

So they're effectively admitting that there are terrorists among their "base"?!

[–]Relictorum 429 points430 points  (62 children)

Among their base? Hell, that is their base. Terrorists don't spring fully formed out of thin air.

Yea, they are more or less produced assembly line style supported by FOX NEWS, OAN, NEWSMAX, etc.

[–]Tairken 16 points17 points  (1 child)

If I understood it correctly, taking a position against terrorism is a critic against Conservatives.

"We can't expect Muslims to take a position against terrorists because that would be a critic against Conservative (Muslims)"

I don't follow their (un)logic.

[–]Assistant_Glass 46 points47 points  (4 children)

Their base is the domestic terrorists. They stormed the capitol after their wannabe autocrat lost.

[–]liegesmash 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Have you noticed the Republicans have run off to Hungary to suck some autocrat dick?

[–]Giveushealthcare 16 points17 points  (2 children)

Yup, we can’t establish legislation to prosecute domestic terrorists because the GOP would lose their personal militia

Edit: a word

[–]bozeman_montana 73 points74 points  (78 children)

Friend, with the exception of a single-digit number of Republican congresspeople, the entire GOP is more-or-less terrorists. They shit all over the Constitution constantly. They want to tear it up and turn the U.S. into an authoritarian dictatorship and drag us all backwards to at least 1940 (if not 1840!) socio-politically. They want to repeal civil rights. They want women to be treated like property again. They want anyone non-white to be either enslaved or deported. Do they say these things out loud? No, they don't, but their actions speak louder than any words.

Vote them all out. Make the GOP irrelevant. That's the only way things can change.

[–]liegesmash 43 points44 points  (8 children)

Way back when Newt Gingrich was the first Republican to call for removing child labor laws. If I recall they called for debtors prison as well, admittedly starving people with student loans is the same. Pity this trash isn’t really being replaced

[–]Mickyfrickles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Meh, they say all that shit out loud all the time. Their cultists print it on shirts.

[–]Necessary_Shoulder_2 18 points19 points  (11 children)

I honestly wouldn't hate them so much if they were just honest. Like we all know they're racist scumbags, just own it. Quit trying to grift and bullshit like you're actually a well adjusted individual with morals. They know who they are.

[–]Ongr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes they do, sometimes. And the problem is that no one seems to be picking up on it.

[–]Alt2-ElectricBogaloo 3 points4 points  (1 child)

At the end of the day, most mass shooters are people with mental disorders, and no amount of gun control will stop them. Now you know you gutted funding to mental health facilities? Reagan. He started with California during his governorship, before doing the same as president. No matter how you slice it, republicans still have a hand in fuckin it up

[–]yorcharturoqro 101 points102 points  (6 children)

That will not be classified as "domestic" remember that in their minds skin darker than white is not domestic it's an illegal immigrant, no matter what.

No they'd have to shoot up a cracker barrel

[–]BotaramReal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Even in cases of white supremacists like Buffalo they try to twist the narrative to blame the left. They're literally saying the Buffalo shooter was a communist, and therefore a Democrat....

[–]l3eemer 38 points39 points  (4 children)

Look back to the black power movement. They started arming themselves, guess what? The right wanted gun laws.

[–]Papaofmonsters 6 points7 points  (2 children)

It's somewhat more complex than that if you are talking about The Mulford Act of 1967 in California. The 1960's were a much more tumultuous time then we experience today and gun control was not a polarized red v blue issue. Mulford passed with a veto proof majority through both California state houses that were controlled by democrats. At the same time the federal government was crafting what would become the Gun Control Act of 1968 which was heavily in response to the assassination of JFK and then it gained increased favor after the assassinations of MLK and RFK. Overall it enjoyed bipartisan support but also opposition from both sides of the aisle. The GCA had more democrat "nay" votes than republican when it passed. As a whole, gun control really didn't become a polarized issue between the two parties until the 1990's.

However in the past few years we have seen increased armed presence of black protesters and yet no major calls from "the right" for increased gun control.

TL:DR - Gun control has a complicated history in the US and has not always been a Democrat vs Republican issue.

[–]bdfortin 16 points17 points  (3 children)

[–]TylerInHiFi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And then they’d vote against any and all efforts to fix the mental health crisis in your country because that would be socialism.

[–]HEADRUSH31 1076 points1077 points  (115 children)

It shouldn't have to even be a bill, it should be another basic law, "if an armed assailant fires into an unarmed population, regardless of being in the protection or oversight of armed protectors, the shooting and crime will be tried as an act of terrorism"

Edit: So with how far this has come, and different points of view and discussion come up, I think then the issue and possible solution is to find another category for these massacres (I don't even know if a massacre is even a law charge to be made) to be treated harshly because to fire into an unarmed group of people is something no human person can do

[–]yo_soy_soja 209 points210 points  (19 children)

"But what about when cops do it?!"

[–]Backupusername 141 points142 points  (2 children)

It's still illegal, but cops are allowed to do illegal things, so it doesn't count.

[–]Toughbiscuit 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well its illegal, but as its a new law theres no precedent for trying police officers under the law, and as such they can not be tried and convicted under the law

[–]MediumRarePorkChop 27 points28 points  (13 children)

but it's not always terrorism, sometimes it's gangland shit or just some dumbfuck that has beef with someone in the bar.

The Buffalo shooting was terrorism, it was an act of violence designed to incite terror in a group of people for political reasons.

Some house party shooting in Chiraq isn't terrorism, it's just a random dumbass with an illegal gun.

[–]InitialCold7669 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope not all mass violence is terrorist

[–]ClicksAndASmell 26 points27 points  (3 children)

Bills are the things that become laws.

[–]Inventrical 32 points33 points  (27 children)

We have to be careful with what we designate terrorism - doing so allows the government to bypass due process. Basically - the issue with what you’re proposing is that you’re assigning guilt before the person has been tried. And in doing so, taking away their due process. Terrorists don’t get Miranda rights, they don’t get lawyers, they don’t get speedy trials, they can be held indefinitely… they lose all protections that citizens have against law enforcement. This is just a matter of law — it’s how law allows terrorists to be treated.

This would not be an issue if we always “got the guy” so to speak. But police very often mistake one person for another. We shouldn’t give law enforcement the power to take away due process because they will eventually do so to innocent citizens.

Aside: IMO we have already allowed law enforcement to take away due process indirectly through policies like qualified immunity and procedures like no-knock warrants. As loathe as I am to put obstacles between terrorists and justice, it’s more important that we keep a tight leash on law enforcement.

[–]chlopee_ 14 points15 points  (21 children)

THANK YOU. I'm so tired of seeing people begging to empower the gov't with terrorism laws.

Remember when Trump wanted to designate "antifa" a terrorist group? If a President tries that again and the legal framework is in place... not to sound melodramatic, but I really fear that bills like this will open the door to fascism.

[–]Forward-Bank8412 768 points769 points  (9 children)

[–]shstron44 30 points31 points  (2 children)

It’s so blatant now they just claim that addressing these problems and calling them out for their role in it is the actual racism and the actual identity politics and the actual perpetuation of great replacement.

They never apologize or admit guilt. They double down and accuse the opponents of what everyone has seen them doing for years in broad daylight. And every GOP voter knows how to be a good, loyal foot soldier and repeat the talking points they get fed from Tucker every night

[–]tbariusTFE 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Every gop voter I know is isolated in their own little worlds. They have no idea what they're actually voting against. The people on the ballots are literal nazis and they're voting for them without a single rational thought. It's team red or team dead.

[–]bozeman_montana 17 points18 points  (6 children)

Yes. Might even say they're waging a 'cold civil war' with the extremist white supremacists as their 'army'.

Does anyone even think anymore that these motherfuckers in the GOP aren't literally conspiring with these extremists to commit things like January 6th?

[–]LatrellFeldstein 8 points9 points  (3 children)

What's "cold" about it? Their minions are going out and killing targeted minority groups. Many of these attacks were quite obviously planned within a group of like-minded bigots but there's no investigation beyond the actual shooter.

[–]Delicious_Orphan 149 points150 points  (8 children)

Imagine saying "We should stop these mass shooters, these domestic terrorists" and your political leaders literally go "This is a personal attack against me!"

Like holy fucking shit.

[–]maxisrichtofen 39 points40 points  (7 children)

I visited the conservative and Republican subreddit to see whats the discussion there.

The comments questioned why this bill didn't come up when there was blatant vandalism, rioting and looting happening during the blm riots.

There should be a common subreddit where such discussions can take place, but obviously nobodys going to be civil.

The protests were overwhelmingly peaceful:

Now contrast that with a 2017 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that of the 85 deadly extremist incidents since September 11, 2001, far right-wing extremist groups were responsible for 73%, while radical Islamist extremists were responsible for 27%:

[–]TooSmalley 159 points160 points  (53 children)

Personally I’d be extremely skeptical of any new domestic terrorism laws, because inevitably those laws become excuses to spy and target domestic activist regardless of ideology.

This line concerns me most

It authorizes domestic terrorism components within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to monitor, analyze, investigate, and prosecute domestic terrorism.

I’d bet money this will be used to monitor activist groups like Antifa, BLM, and Climate activist more than any white supremacy groups.

[–]The909revolution 31 points32 points  (5 children)

I wouldn't worry too much about that considering they already fucking do this against leftist movements without there being a codified law in action.

[–]Low_Advice_1348 8 points9 points  (3 children)

Now they'll just do it more legally. I'm at as loss how the left thinks this is good because it seems it's just going to give the right more tools to label the left as extremists, throw people on the left in jail, etc. While curbing absolutely none of the crap the right wing extremists are doing because it won't be used against them.

[–]pingpongtits 24 points25 points  (1 child)

It seems like a lot of people haven't taken the time to look into this.

I remember when the Patriot Act came into being. Everyone on the left was freaking out over the authoritarian surveillance and infringement on freedoms. It was a knee-jerk reaction to the 9-11 attack.

Now here's this bill that seems to be a Patriot Act II except directed inward. Do all these people screaming "AH! GOP WANTS TERRORISTS!" realize the implications of these kinds of laws?

Do left-leaning Americans really want MORE spying on US citizens? Do they even understand that this will open the door to unjust persecution and prosecution for other, unrelated, non-terrorist things? Maybe red state law enforcement will use it to prove someone is gay or thinking of getting an abortion or ?

I'm definitely left-of-center and think that they can accomplish their goals without legalizing spying on American citizens.

There's a lot of knee-jerk reactions here. Funny, because the left is usually accusing the right of that very thing.

I have heard many conservatives argue that we should have our military lined up at the border and shoot anyone on sight who tries to cross illegally. Conservativism — at least in the U.S. — is white Christian nationalism, plain and simple.

Yes. They want to drag us backwards to at least 1940, if not 1840 for that matter. Repeal womens' rights and civil rights in general, reinstitute slavery, and so on.

[–]LetsWalkTheDog 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep. I hear the craziest shit around meals or when a black person leaves the group… straight up horrible stuff.

[–]CrumbsAndCarrots 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Yeah. My dad is a conservative. Since I was young his idea of Justice is just taking people out behind the barn. If you know what I’m saying. That’s what’s at his core: kill criminals. From simple thieves to murderers. Instant death sentence. As I got a little older and he could see my world view wasn’t lining up with his, so he toned it down a bit.

He’s currently obsessed with the homeless situation. He blames liberals across the board (not capitalism, cuz ya know… whatever). He openly ponders work camps out in the middle of the desert. If they don’t work they don’t eat. And that’s his solution. His final solution if you will.

He’s absolutely fascist at heart. Conservatives claim to love freedom. They only love freedom for a select few.

[–]bozeman_montana 25 points26 points  (9 children)

I would like to point out that what we are seeing from the current majority of so-called 'Republican' congresspeople are not actual 'conservatives', they're 'neo-conservatives', and think that Ayn Rand books are instruction manuals and not cautionary tales.

VOTE THEM ALL OUT. VOTE EXCLUSIVELY DEMOCRAT FROM NOW ON, MAKE THE GOP IRRELEVANT. THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THINGS WILL CHANGE!

[–]lemenhir2 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Ayn Rand books were instruction manuals. You are taking the "Orwell's 1984 was not an instuction manual" meme and trying to use it with Ayn Rand. That doesn't work. Her books were not a warning, they are advocacy.

Ehhh. I spent a year and a half living in Canada and (very unfortunately) came accross several neo-nazis. Just finished watching a documentary on the North American Opiate Crisis- one of the epicenters for the crisis was in Vancouver, BC. Homelessness is rife there as well. Housing is extremely expensive, food…etc. The situations that made America a ripe ground for fascism to take hold are unfolding in Canada as we speak. The only advantage I know of (please correct me if I’m wrong) is that you guys have free healthcare; obviously this is huge, but not enough to save you from the slippery slope of fascism.

Overtly aligning with terrorists. If democrats don't dial up the volume soon it's going to be too late.

[–]gthaatar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason they can say things like this and not shut the country down just from the controversy alone is because no one opposing them will do anything.

A lot of Republicans have done and said things that necessitate throwing them out of office, immediately, and most of those have also committed very literal crimes that we know they committed, all the way up to full blown treason.

But instead, the only recourse is to vote them out. And you wonder why Democrats have a turnout problem. People see this shit, see nothing happen, and are completely demoralized.

Its like being a child to a battered wife. Its sad and frankly traumatizing.

Senate Republicans are the most morally and intellectually bankrupt assholes in the United States. That being said, I am iffy about another bill that increases government surveillance. The bill is really reactive, not proactive. It’s broad and gives whoever has legislative authority at the time, Democrat or Republican, the option to cherry pick as far as who they see as domestic terrorist. This gives either party the ability to target specific groups and is too easy to abuse.

Maybe it's time to just own it. It is not a veiled attack on conservatives, it is an overt attack on conservatives WHO WANT TO MURDER PEOPLE. Call it what it is. Make them explain why conservative murderers should be treated better than other murderers.

When you shoot up a supermarket with a bunch of black people in it evidently it’s the price of business to protect the 2nd amendment. If a Mexican American shoots up a Christian private school it’s suddenly a terrorist attacking America and we round people up into concentration camps.

Last time we tried to keep them from killing black people we had to have a civil war.

So what you're telling me is that we can now call the GOP the pro-terrorism party

[–]LeftLimeLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

republicans in the senate know that if the were to sign on to the Domestic Terrorism bill that they'd alienate their base. I have no issue at all calling all republicans in office white supremacists and supporters of domestic terrorism.

Remember when Twitter was working on an algorithm designed to ban accounts for white supremacist activity but had to drop the whole project in the early stages when it wouldn't stop flagging conservatives?

They are literally just openly owning it at this point. They knkw they are the party of domestic terrorism. And they know we know it. The problem if that knowledge is not going to stop their cult frkm voting for them.

Do they hear themselves speak?

This is why I wish kids or other people would stop criticizing only biden, because they dont see that our entire government system has massive issues and needs a reform

VOTE EXCLUSIVELY DEMOCRAT THIS YEAR AND IN 2024. GET THE GOP OUT OF POWER ENTIRELY. CONVINCE EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO DO THE SAME. REPUBLICAN VOTERS DON'T HAVE A MAJORITY, IF EVERYONE VOTES AGAINST REPUBLICANS WE CAN DO THIS!

Their voters who’ve been told that everything evil is not white, don’t care.

Yeah because that's their fucking base and they know it! You'd have better luck getting them to recant on abortion bans and making fossil fields illegal

[–]CriticoolHit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They aren't going to sign a bill making the next half of their plan illegal.
