Support for abortion rights has reached a record high (60%) and nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose the Supreme Court overturning Roe, according to a new @NBCNews poll.

I remember the attempt to frame Rittenhouse. He was right to be celebrated, the way he stood up to the bat$hit crazy lefties who tried to kill or do serious damage to him, and the way he stood up to the prosecution that must have known their case against him was BS meant to satisfy the leftist social justice mob.

Sane people do not kill a bunch of people because of what you ask if I remember.

The bat$hit crazy Antifa's and BLM's and Critical Race theories practiced in public schools woulda been unthinkable in this country not long ago, but now they're a fact.

And trying to frame a sitting President as a seditious conspirer against this country with an anti-American foreign government woulda been unthinkable here not long ago, but now is a fact.

Impeaching a President twice in his one term merely in order to claim he was impeached twice woulda been unthinkable here not long ago, but now is a fact.

So, vigilantism is now ok in America, the radicalization of the Boston bombers by consumption of jihadist propaganda & resulting terror attack is different than the radicalization of the Buffalo shooter by white supremacy champions like Carlson? Or do we not call it terrorism if the murderer is white?
Next you roll people who stand against fascism, millions of legitimate protesters and CRT into an impossibility.

Let me get this straight…you oppose Critical Race Theory because it makes you out to be a White Supremacist but you believe in Great Replacement Theory because you’re worried about preserving White Supremacy?

Is this a sneak peek of the 2024 GOP platform?

Well I guess you just need to stand back and stand by

No, it sounds like I believe in the rule of law, not someone with a gun being judge and jury.

Rittenhouse believes in the rule of law. Self defense is legal. He was not convicted of breaking any law.

Yet, you seem to be a judge and jury about him being a vigilante. You sound like an authoritarian, not like a believer in the rule of law.

Here you go again. Your usual. Stating what you assume are facts because you assume so. I have not seen credible evidence that Carlson is a white supremacy champion. This claim that the replacement theory is about race, that it's racist, is nonsense. It, at least for Tucker, and for me, is about political power--votes--not about race. That's why the Dems have been less than mildly favorable towards immigration, legal or not from Europe, especially Eastern Europe like Poland because they typically vote Republican. And why they are vociferously for legal or illegal immigrants from south of our border who have overwhelmingly voted Democrat (except Dems are not so big on immigrants from Cuba, who tend to vote Republican).

The "Replacement" theory has been noted and championed by Dems and non-whites long before Carlson spoke on it. A few examples:

Peter Beinart wrote in the Atlantic (a left leaning publication) that "Between 2008 and 2016, Democrats became more and more confident that the country’s growing Latino population gave the party an electoral edge. To win the presidency, Democrats convinced themselves, they didn’t need to reassure white people skeptical of immigration so long as they turned out their Latino base."

“The fastest-growing sector of the American electorate stampeded toward the Democrats this November,” Salon, a far leftist publication, declared after Obama’s 2008 win. “If that pattern continues, the GOP is doomed to 40 years of wandering in a desert.”

Walter Williams, a BLACK economist said " Carlson is correct on why the Democrats want to make illegal immigrants citizens (the lust for political power)"

Democrat former HUD Secratary once said "In a couple of presidential cycles, you’ll be on election night, you’ll be announcing that we’re calling the 38 electoral votes of Texas for the Democratic nominee for president. It’s changing. It is going to become a purple state and then a blue state because of the demographics, because of the population growth, of folks from outside of Texas.


Or do we not call it terrorism if the murderer is white?
Next you roll people who stand against fascism, millions of legitimate protesters and CRT into an impossibility.

Uhhh . . . I stand against fascism. I think Progressivism is fascist. are you rolling folks like me into an impossibility? Don't know WTF you're talking about.

Let me get this straight…you oppose Critical Race Theory because it makes you out to be a White Supremacist but you believe in Great Replacement Theory because you’re worried about preserving White Supremacy?

I oppose CRT because it is racist hogwash. It makes you out to be a White Supremacist. Are you. It essentializes race. Race is irrelevant for me, other than being a concept.

Is this a sneak peek of the 2024 GOP platform?

Well I guess you just need to stand back and stand by

No doubt you will frame it that way. You already have. I don't need to stand back or stand by.

Liz Cheney is on the outs. She's wrong.

Explain why a white nationalist would be in favor of school choice, would get black unemployment to the lowest ever (and would celebrate that fact, while democrats were crying over that fact), would pass criminal justice reform, would increase funding for black colleges?

I have no idea what's in Trumps heart. But his policies did more for American blacks, than any president in my lifetime, by far.

But he can't do it (not for long) if his constituents WANT it, or they vote him out. Do you have ANY idea how our government works.

And if you're going to move the goalposts, he can do it all day as far as I'm concerned, if he's moving them to protect the unborn.

And shouldn't you be OK with more protections, as far as viable babies are concerned? You're insisting a baby is a human being at viability, doesn't that mean you think abortion is murder after viability?

Make no mistake the sentence in Nebraska will last longer for the rape victim than the rapist.

Host Dana Bash then asked the Nebraska governor if that would apply to cases of rape or incest.

“They’re still babies, too,” Ricketts said. “Yes, they’re still babies.”

Jim do you hear you’re self

Same thing is happening in Russia it happen in Germany in the 40s is happening now in America

Just because your constituents want discrimination rigged elections. Bans on gays and Transgender I guess it’s ok to you ? and if you think a white nationalist would be in favor of school choice, would get black unemployment to the lowest . ever . Really Jim you’re part of the problem you are in denial. The GOP is not the same as it once was! Your boy saw to that ..

At least Liz has the honesty to admit these Truths.. maybe it’s Time other so called Republicans should do the same. But they won’t until their mob turns on them

who’s banning gays, exactly?

you didn’t explain why a white supremacist would
be in favor of school
choice and other things that help blacks?

trump is an anti semite? you know his daughter and her husband are jewish, right? w”

how come liz cheney did t say exactly who the racists are?

all you got, is baseless charges of racism.

hey, here’s a case where democrats were caught trying to gerrymander district lines in NY. It appears it isn’t only the gop that kicks their ball onto the fairway when it suits them.

correct. the GOP no longer sits there politely while democrats call us racists and homophones and xenophobes. That’s what Bush, McCain, and Romney did. Now, if the left throws a cheap
elbow, we throw one back.

I know the left isn’t used to getting a dose of their own medicine. Better get used to it.

If the gop is the party of white supremacists, why do polls show Hispanics are making a meaningful
shift to the right?

The most important number in november, by far, is the % of hispanics that vote for republicans. If the polls are remotely correct, and maybe they aren’t, the hispanic block could be making a big shift to the right. That would be a catastrophe for your side.

as to the tragedy where 10 were murdered by a loathsome racist in buffalo.

Chicago is averaging 11.3 murders per week so far in 2022 ( 204 murders through May 15).

These ten victims will
get a million times more press coverage. Because unlike garden variety urban violence, this shooting is a political
winner for the left.

i’m not saying the. Buffalo shooting shouldn’t be covered - it should. But the holocaust that’s happening i. our cities shouldn’t be swept under the rug, but it is. Because that story doesn’t help democrats win electiions.

Christian hate-preacher Greg Locke told the people in his Tennessee tent church today, "You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation!"

He later threatened Democrats watching him, "You ain't seen [an] insurrection yet."

If this guy was a Muslim Imam in a Middle Eastern Country, we'd already be dropping a cruise missile on his ass.

Religious nuts, foreign OR domestic, engaged in active war against the United States are all the same.

Since Jesus is trending, a reminder that the bible says Jesus was a brown-skinned Jewish man who fed the poor, housed the homeless & welcomed the stranger (yes, even the illegal ones!)

If you’re going to call yourself “Christian”, then act like him.

Biden "calls" himself a devout Catholic. Saying that, and being one, aren't the same thing.

Many people who say they are Catholics, vote democrat. I'm talking about actual, true believers. Among that group, I don't see how they can vote democratic, abortion, casual sex, meaningless marriages, gender being a choice, tolerance of everything as long as it feels good.

I guess I should have said Catholics, not Christians, I don't know anything much about other religions. I can't see how anyone who is Catholic, could even think about voting for a democrat, unless all you care about is the environment I guess. The social policies embraced by the DNC today, aren't compatible with Catholicism, they just aren't.

And for sure I'm not saying Republicans are all good Catholics. I'm only talking about what each party currently believes.

Catholic catechism has "binding beliefs" and "non binding beliefs". Binding beliefs means what it says, you cannot be Catholic and not agree with the binding beliefs. Opposition to abortion is one of them.

It's very simple. Biden and Pelosi say they are Catholic on Sundays, because they want Catholic votes. Then Monday-Friday, they bash Catholicism. It's pretty phony when you think about it.

You like Pedophilia as much as Biden & the Catholic Church ?
I was raised Catholic.

And I don't believe that anyone can support the R party based on their social policies that conflict w/the bible. The Ds have a big prob. when it comes to abortion (even though it is not mentioned ever in the Bible).

heal the sick - what is the R's policies? Did they support the ACA or offer up any alternatives?
don't close your heart against the poor - The R's policies are to cut social spending.
When Jesus talks about the difficulty of the rich getting into heaven and compares it to a camel going through an eye of a needle that show the Bible doesn't hold the rich in high regard. The Rs policies benefit the rich.

Neither party should/can claim they uphold the teachings of the Bible.

wdmso, the Women’s Health Protection was approved by 49 of 50 senate democrats ( Manchin voted no), and it allows for abortion up until birth.

So doesn’t this mean, since you say a baby is a human being after viability, that senate democrats voted to legalize infanticide in your eyes?

legalize infanticide



But endless defense of Tucker and the rest of the GOP

Like I’ve said you’ve been willingly radicalized

But but Joe manchin. But ignore and be dismissive of what liz and Kinzinger have said about the current situation in the GOP
