I once believed the GOP cared about people then I got firsthand experience and learned the only people they care about is the .01%. Independent journalist

He’s just a blatant liar and no surprise given his political team is the same as Ted Cruz’

NEW EPISODE: Donald Trump is dismantling democracy through corruption, pay-to-play schemes, and the politicization of the courts and DOJ. Sen. Richard Blumenthal joins me to discuss Republicans enabling an authoritarian takeover, turning justice into revenge, and destroying institutional integrity.

I'm going to say something really shocking to Mike and others…

There are a shitload of liberals and left-leaning folks that legally own guns.

I know, Mike, it hurts your 2A line.. But I thought you should know.

So he doesn’t want them to disarm? Why is he supporting terrorism

Not claiming it’s their top priority but they aren’t actively trying to undermine corporate limits, quite the opposite.

And to your point about them both taking corporate money, how do you compete against a party that will sell their soul for special interests $$ without raising money yourself?

That’s not a party example that’s an individual.

But who is actively pushing the boundaries of campaign finance reform? GOP. Right now before SCOTUS it’s the NRCC attempting to do away with corporate limits.

The GOP would never willingly cut off their ability to take massive corporate money, it’s their entire infrastructure that makes them relevant

So you rule out the calculus of knowing it’s DOA because of filibuster and not expending political capital on something the know will lose in the end?

Democracy Warrior @diehardamerican12.bsky.social · 1d

Possibly because they knew they didn’t have the numbers?

Democracy Warrior @diehardamerican12.bsky.social · 1d

They try but have been thwarted by GOP using filibuster. Like in 2021 with HR 1, a complete overhaul in election finance rules and it died in the Senate.

The difference I see between the wealthy gop and dems is dems don’t try to use their wealth and power to permanently rig elections while the GOP does by doing away with donation limits, rigging gerrymandering, etc.

Wannabe dictator who wants to rig elections to keep power and undermine democracy

Democracy Warrior @diehardamerican12.bsky.social · 1d

It’ll never be enough because that’s his justification for the militarization of peaceful cities and rigging elections

So it wasn’t him making the decisions? Isn’t that exactly what the entire GOP is screaming about Biden?

The only one acting like he has nothing to lose is the guy corrupting every element of the federal government for himself and his donors…the same guy who was effectively made a king by SCOTUS

Of course not just like his promise to end the Ukraine war. Empty promises

Yeah it’s the Dems sending military into peaceful cities, rigging elections, and locking up peaceful protesters…

The guy who said get rid of the nuclear option to pass his funding bill now says it’s someone else’s fault?

Either you don’t have the votes or you do. He says he does with the nuclear option. Can’t have it both ways.

We’ve made it since Pearl Harbor without a single attack on American soil by a foreign government and I don’t recall anyone using tariffs to accomplish that, quite the opposite.

The only war he constantly said he’d settle on day one he can’t end. Surprise, surprise…

Democracy Warrior @diehardamerican12.bsky.social · 1d

If this is what’s making it public, I cannot not believe the unprofessional and corruption behind the scenes.
