Less shocking if you think everyone still in the Republican never had character or decency, but only pretended.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

But IMO, once you hit 80, 90% of the time that’s too old. Would I vote for an 80 year old over a MAGA? Absolutely. Other people are free to make their own choice.

I don’t have a problem with Harris’s age at all. I was just responding that she is not one of the youngest nominees ever. Just off the top of my head, Obama, W, Carter, McGovern, JFK (and Nixon in ‘60), TR, and Lincoln were all younger. Doesn’t mean she was too old.

Well Biden and Trump aren’t exactly great examples for the elderly serving in office.

An 80 yr old man has a 50% chance of dying by 83. For a woman, 86. If the state has a GOP governor, that’s a big risk.

So Mills would be 84 when her term is up. Warren would be 88 if she ran again and served a full term. Bernie would be 96. Yeah, I’m not for any of them running.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

In Rogers Park, Chicago, ICE GOONS pulled over a woman who was filming and blowing a whistle at them, and then upon leaving, they harassed and pointed guns at a man who was trying to protect his neighbors...

The spineless cowards currently hiding under tables will crawl out to preach forgiveness, and they will need to be told very forcefully to shut the fuck up.

“When this is over – and it will end – there has to be a sustained and severe campaign of retribution, from Trump down to the masked ICE fascists who carried this out,” he said. “No f—ing kumbaya. Consequences.”

Under Trump, there is no law. The people want payback

Forget accountability, says legal expert. Think retribution.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
