Steve Schmidt explains how the Republican Party became the party of American fascists

8 years of desantis would put this country in the dumpster.

But I am sure you are OK with weaponizing the govt against free speech....as long as it is a conservative calling the shots.

Get your books now before desantis bans them.
Who’s banning speech and thought now? Easy answer, democrats. Any speech they don’t like, you’re an insurrectionist and sent to the dungeon.

The southern border is the perfect example of Democrat incompetence. Won’t be long and their answer will be amnesty for 30 million illegals.
 
"If you elect us this is what we would like to do...."


and (the forgotten second part)

"We absolutely will not negotiate or compromise and will flame throw the other side on the floor of the House/Senate and on talk radio through teh politics of personal destruction"
Bill Clinton and friends were the masters at politics of personal destruction. Both sides practice this style of politics much too often.

If the party of diversity and inclusion want to run another rich old white guy why can't they at least pick Bernie. Bernie vs Trump would be the best show on earth.

My inlaws are from central Illinois. They are pretty moderate but can't stand him. Property taxes are a typical complaint. They were going to retire to Tennessee until FIL had a stroke.

Hell, ask Riley Gaines how well progressives tolerate speech they don’t like.

To the extent that there are fascists in this country in 2023, they are exclusively liberals.
 
Who are the ones wanting to compel speech?

Books aren't getting banned. Where tf does this come from?

Note that the url includes mtsu . . . Middle Tennessee State University? Anyway, the article talks about which books are being banned from schools . . . including two of Pat Conroy's (!!) books.
 
@Univee2: We need a ruling . . . is misspelling a family name reason for a fine, in light of the court's benevolence?

Asking for a friend . . . .
We gave up a long time ago trying to convince people that Ron DeSantis knows how to spell his name and that it’s D-e-S-a-n-t-i-s.

Just wait until Mgbako arrives and people type his name about fourteen ways. It will be worse than: Bill Monbouquette.

Yea, the men that identified as women beat of her. This is what the democrats stand for.

Her crime with the democrats is wanting women to be able to compete against women. She’s definitely a fascist.

And then there’s: Krzyzewski.
 
Honestly again I didnt care about his sexual escapades . I wasnt a huge fan and not sure how much he did but was smart enough not to F*** things up at least
At least you could distract bill with an intern of legal age. Can't really blame the man. His wife is Hillary. When he wasnt dodging vases or stealing white house property he was shopping for an upgrade. Clearly a marriage of convience.

Here's a dude beating on an actual woman.

And they can go home and order the same books from Amazon or any other new or used book stores.
 
I could . . . but I asked you . . . .
Our service requires a $15,000 new account fee, but we’ll give a free introductory answer.

Bill Monbouquette - MLB pitcher in the 60s, primarily with the Red Sox. Won 20 games in 1963.

As always . . . you're a generous man. But Wiki is free . . . .

BTW . . . Taliaferro is pronounced "Tolliver".
 
Yes, and there’s an easy way to learn and remember how to spell it.

He’s Mr. K. Y. Zyzewski and “zyzewski“ is spelled just as it sounds.
Is it OK for me to exercise my First Amendment rights and decline to learn this?

My excuse: TL: DR.

As much as I have disagreed with Aloha over the 20-something years I've been here, it's clear that we have those with policy disagreements, and we have others who are completely untethered with reality (Democrats are cannibals, there is a global cabal controlling the global economy, lizard people....(!)

Steve Schmidt was the campaign manager for John McCain. As much as I disagreed policy-wise with McCain, I respected him. The Republican Party has become the party of the mentally ill. They have no policies to offer anyone to improve their lives. They're down to book banning, trans people (whom I'm sure none of them have ever met), humiliating LEGAL immigrants...etc., etc., etc. Steve Schmidt describes why this fascist ideology may destroy our country and make a mockery of the founding fathers.


As someone who has been a member of every main political party (with the exception of the Prohibition Party) I like to think of myself as being an independent thinker :).

Where I differ from Steve Schmidt is I don't throw either party or people under the bus upon leaving them behind. Thus Schmidt earns the honor of being called a hack in my book.

. . . and Aloha . . . is he hacking too when he rails against Democrats for leaving him "behind"?

Aloha doesn't make a living being involved in politics as does SS and other political hacks.

Furthermore Aloha is a man with principles. Suspect both parties have violated his principles from time to time.

Desantis isn't a dem.

Google Disney and you might learn something

It’s difficult to keep ideas and principles separate from people, personalities and individual ability. . But that must be done to be well grounded. . Anybody who says things like “the GOP has left me“ and “Trump” or “Trumpism” in the same sentence are not serious political thinkers in my view. I have Kirk’s 10 Principles bookmarked, as well as some Burke and other material. I periodically look at those and there is no doubt why I am a Republican. Trump shrinks to irrelevancy. Further, I’m not afraid to admit I voted for Trump and I have defended many of his ideas. He was more effective with implementing GOP ideas than anybody in recent years, including Reagan. But that by no means suggests he has no negatives—his post election behavior being chief among those.

But now he needs to exit. There are many reasons, including America is eating itself alive resisting him.
 
Lol. Why? For pissing off the book banning fuhrer
You are such a bleeping idiot.

Disney was given quasi-governmental status all those years ago because Walt intended to actually build a city where people actually lived and worked.. For various reasons that never happened. After Walt, the money grubbrs in charge of Disney World used its special status to grab more money and to engage in unfair competition with others. Revoking that status was long overdue.
