“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell

The US can no longer afford to tolerate the lies & BS if we want a functional Republic.

This one is from the ghost cartoonist.

Honesty is NOT in his DNA.

Same as any magat.

Let’s be real: Us non-politicians would do the same thing with superpowers: Good intentions with a bit of “fun” on the side. Kinda like Jim Carrey’s The Mask.

Happy Day Of The Dude. Go have a White Russian.

Destructive Democrat elected officials are dishonest and find it fun to destroy America only to hurt American Workers financially, just as much as Destructive Democrat leftist leaning dishonest anarchists and extremists rioted and found it fun to blow up and smash out windows of businesses, cars, homes and hospitals while putting innocent civilian lives at risk in 2020. …but, It’s okay if a Democrat does it, correct..

Russian bot alert! The dim bulb got talkative.

“Hoards of social media users have come forward to say they were lied to and voted for Trump, but have since lost their jobs because Musk and DOGE defunded their federal programs.”

Boo flocking hoo. My heart bleeds for all those poor idjt voters losing their jobs. If only there had been some prior indication that trump couldn’t be trusted. If only someone would have told them every GD day.

Look, MAGATS. I know you resent being called “stupid.” I understand that. But if you allow yourself to be coerced into believing (AGAIN) that a lifetime charlatan and liar—-a misogynistic, racist, narcissistic, sexual predator obsessed with retribution—-has YOUR interests in mind; and you believe it (mountains of evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) to the point he convinces YOU to vote against those interests; that he’s a viable candidate to lead the nation . . . well, while “stupid” may sound harsh, it’s hard for anyone who isn’t to deny the clearly obvious.

The resentment is actually the dumbest issue of all. If the normies made you feel belittled, that’s one thing. But to vote for a candidate because someone made you feel small, that’s pretty much the opposite of what voting is supposed to be. Voting isn’t supposed to be personal. It’s like when people say “I voted for the Candidate A because Candidate B never visited my town.” If you need to feel personally attended to by the candidate, you’ve totally misunderstood civic duty.

If these people had paid a little more attention to what trump believes/does, rather than how he made them feel with wormtongue lies, maybe they wouldn’t be unemployed and/or missing their benefits now. And Democracy wouldn’t be threaten here and around the globe.

And to prove the Republicans distain for honesty, they removed very senior member Al Green of the House for speaking honestly. The Right can dish out the ‘free speech’ but can’t take it. They can also violate the dress code and claim free speech.
