Here is the Vice President defending adults who said they love Hitler, want to rape their enemies, put their political opponents in gas chambers, and that Black people are monkeys. Just to name a few.

Are these those Christian values JD Vance talks about?

Bette Midler sung a profane yet touching tribute to Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, rewriting her 1988 hit “Wind Beneath My Wings,” which praised Colbert for his decade-long refusal to kiss Trump’s “orange a--.”

Trump didn’t light the fire overnight. He’s been turning up the heat slowly, hoping we won’t notice until we’re already cooked.

Vance, miserable liar that he is, referred to these bigoted, Nazi-flavored Young Republican posts as a "college group chat."

But most of the quoted in the Politico article are GROWN ADULTS with JOBS.

MAGA broke Congress when it decided that a Black man who had been elected President of the United States did not have the right to nominate a Supreme Court Justice.

After that, all that was left were insipid editorials like this.

If you don't know that Congress died years ago, where have you been?

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.
