Today, the democrats are ALL OVER republicans who deny the results of the 2020 election.
But here are quotes from democrat house leader Hakeem Jeffries... "Climate change is not a hoax. But 45's election may have been". "Trumps election integrity commission should investigate his so-called victory". "the real hoax is likely your so-called election victory". So can someone just clarify for me, when is it OK to deny the results of an election, and when is it wrong to do so? When is election-denying acceptable, and when is it unacceptable? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem...ying-elections |

You guys all constantly make fun of Republicans who don't concede Biden won fair and square (I believe he did). But you don't care when a democrat does it. Because you have ZERO principles, other than "the democrat is always above criticism". |

Give it up Jim your being Intellectually dishonest again It’s easy to clarify it’s one thing to suggest I think the election wasn’t fair it’s totally and completely different when the President of the United States and his administration and other Republicans and supporters actually try to steal the election .. that’s not even disputable |
After 4 years of order, leadership, and governance under a House Democratic majority, I present to you…
The current situation in the House, hilarious though it is, shows one important thing. If your entire political party is chosen based on the desire to hurt other people, they will, given the opportunity, hurt each other. People who harm have no ability to restrain themselves from doing harm. They also have no love nor loyalty to each other. Hate and harm are the whole of their being and they will exercise hate and harm regardless of target or consequences. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

But when Republicans deny, you say that are bad. When this democrat denies, you defend him. You guys constantly insult republican voters who had nothing to do with January 6, but who think that 2020 wasn't a fair election. But you have no problem when a democrat does exactly the same thing. Please stop saying I'm being dishonest for making comparisons that I never made. |

Desantis's idea of freedom sure seems to resemble a authoritarian govt the way he's going after private businesses and minorities. DeSantis doesn’t pretend to be moderate; being a far-right culture warrior is his brand. Journalist/author and scholar Henry A. Giroux analyzes DeSantis’ appeal in a scathing article published by Truthout on December 16, and he doesn’t sugarcoat anything. DeSantis, Giroux warns, is “fueling the emergence of fascist politics in the United States.” “While some pundits have connected DeSantis’ politics to an emerging authoritarianism,” Giroux explains, “they still fail both to name the ongoing development of fascism in the U.S. and to recognize that it takes different forms in different societies and historical formations. They dismiss any talk of fascism by suggesting that its unique historical attributes, such as the genocidal use of concentration camps, have to be repeated precisely in order to assign the term fascism to present events. Fascism is never entirely interred in the past; it is a dangerous ideology that may go into remission but never disappears.” Giroux continues, “Fascism is a recurrent and infinitely translatable phenomenon and often takes on the cultural and political attributes of the societies in which it appears. The refusal to acknowledge that fascism can appear in many forms, often lying dormant in a society until the emergence of certain forces unleash it, reinforces the willingness of many to retreat into silence or ignore the seriousness of the emerging fascist threat. Expressing ourselves in words, learning from history and making connections among disparate events all matter in the age of fascism.” Giroux stresses that when one is analyzing fascism, it’s important to recognize patterns and understand how individual events fit into the big picture — events like DeSantis sending migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts or Trump having dinner with white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago. “Fascist politics saturate U.S. society,” Giroux warns. “Ultranationalism, the calls for racial purity, voter suppression, hyper-militarism, required loyalty oaths from higher education faculty, rampant censorship, a ubiquitous anti-intellectualism, and a full-fledged attack on social provisions and public goods make clear that democracy is in crisis. Yet, in too many cases, the larger significance of these incendiary calamities is missed because they are treated as separate from each other…. DeSantis’ publicity stunt of using migrants as political pawns was also disconnected in the mainstream and liberal media from his attempt to erase the history of the Jim Crow era as part of his larger project of a politics of disposability.” Giroux continues, “For instance, little was said connecting this racist policy to DeSantis’ passing laws banning books about Black history and racial narratives from schools and libraries, along with limiting what teachers can teach about racism — a policy that clearly indicates how DeSantis is following in the footsteps of the Nazification of education in Hitler’s Germany.” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, a far-right authoritarian, has drawn a great deal of admiration among MAGA Republicans — including Fox News’ Tucker Carlson. And Giroux outlines some parallels between DeSantis and Orbán. “Following in the footsteps of Viktor Orbán, the authoritarian leader who has turned Hungary into a fascist country, DeSantis has waged a war on immigrants, targeted gay and transgender youth, purged voters, banned books in Florida schools, limited what teachers can say about racism and other critical elements of American history, and used state power to punish businesses, evident in his ruthless and vindictive attack on Disney,” Giroux observes. “He has also used policing to punish Black voters who disagree with his policies, courted Christian nationalists, supported a white nationalist agenda and waged a war on higher education. There is little doubt that DeSantis has turned Florida into a laboratory of fascist politics.” |

“ The Chi-coms, Stalinist Supreme Soviet, and, dare I say, the Nazis had very ordered governance. Turbulence in our House of Representatives can be far more beneficial for keeping our Federal Government in check against being a well ordered cabal lead by the false authoritarian promise of taking care of the people.” That’s the logical end point of a person in a party that has descended into mindless demonization—of Democrats, of immigrants, of the 'deep state,' of the FBI, of the medical profession, of the 'woke' military—and now of one another. Claiming that this is how the House works is the end result of what happened to the four GOP US House speakers in modern times…#^& Newt Gingrich quit in frustration in ’98 Denny Hastert served 8 years (later convicted of finance and sex crimes) John Boehner quit in frustration in ’15 Paul Ryan quit in frustration in ’18 This is systemic for the failed Republican Party, not McCarthy’s personal problem.

Get ready for another banner day for the dysfunctional Republican Party.

It’s scary, but predictable that dark money super pacs are explicitly part of the negotiation regarding who becomes Speaker of the United States House.
It’s why the US is now nothing more than a managed democracy. When (most) of our elected officials have become beholden to campaign funding from special interests/lobbyists/corporations/billionaires, legislating for the public good becomes a conflict of interest & thus impossible.
