squistion

Reading is fundamental. Which is why I said that they are rarely funny, as a few of their satires have made me laugh.

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/11/20/congress/trump-democratic-lawmakers-sedition-00661504 Trump calls for Democratic lawmakers to face trial for ‘seditious behavior’ President Donald Trump on Thursday called for six Democratic lawmakers to face arrest and trial after they made a video encouraging U.S. service members and members of the intelligence community to refrain from following orders if they broke the law. “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL,” Trump charged in a post on Truth Social. “Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET.” The president then reposted 16 Truth Social posts, including one that advocated for hanging the Democrats, like “GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD.” “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” he later wrote. Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) and Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), as well as Reps. Jason Crow (D-Colo.), Chrissy Houlahan (D-Penn.), Maggie Goodlander (D-N.H.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Penn.) were featured in the Tuesday video. They are all either military veterans or worked in national security-focused roles before taking office. “We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now,” they said. “Americans trust their military. But that trust is at risk. This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear, you can refuse illegal orders.” In a joint statement Thursday, House Democratic leadership condemned Trump’s “disgusting and dangerous death threats” and called for him to delete the posts, urging their Republican colleagues to say the same. The statement — co-signed by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar — said House leadership had been in contact with the House sergeant at arms and the United States Capitol Police to “ensure the safety” of the members mentioned in Trump’s posts. “Donald Trump incited a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6th as part of a treacherous attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election,” they wrote. “The President’s violent and unhinged rhetoric against American patriots is consistent with his well-documented history of attacking prisoners of war, Gold Star families and war heroes. There is no bottom when it comes to Donald Trump.”

Most everything from this right wing satire website is rarely funny and usually embarrassing (but not to the targets of their parody pieces).

Sure seems that way. This appears to be a rather cold-hearted and mean-spirited group of people. Have any of the MAGA crowd here said that maybe some sort of exception should be made here out of compassion for her and her family? I don't think so, as they all seem to be cheering this deportation.

It does, although Trump wants to end birthright citizenship and some folks in this forum agree with that.

Any proof that she cost an American born the spot at this college? You don't usually hear that claim about students from foreign countries who are accepted at most major univesities.

The remarks came in response to a Washington Post report on Friday that said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given a verbal order to kill everyone aboard boats suspected of smuggling drugs, and that this led a military commander to carry out a second strike to kill those who had initially survived an attack in early September. “Obviously if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act,” Representative Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio and a former chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said on “Face the Nation” on CBS. Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, said on CBS that if the report was accurate, the attack “rises to the level of a war crime.” And on CNN, when asked if he believed a second strike to kill survivors constituted a war crime, Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, answered, “It seems to.” [...]

This is even worse than I thought.

He said she had been deported in violation of a court order that a federal judge signed on Nov. 21 that said Ms. López could not be removed from the United States while her case was pending. [...]

Falsely project? The guy just bragged again that he "aced" a dementia test.

And when she came here at the age of 7, I doubt she had any choice in the matter. She is going back to a country she really doesn't know. Assuming she would have graduated from college, she would probably be a productive member of this country. And MAGA folks wonder why Latino support for Trump and Republicans has tanked.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1995250285095080141 Gov. Tim Walz to NBC: "This is what Donald Trump has done. He's normalized this type of hateful behavior and this type of language. And mainly, look, at first, I think it's just because he's not a good human being, but secondly, [it's] to distract from his incompetency. We know we just came through a Thanksgiving where prices are up. We know people are concerned about heating their homes ... At the same time, he's cutting those program. So, look, we cannot allow this to be normalized. Trump is like, 'This is language police. You guys are woke.' Many times, it's just about being decent to people."

The day I get schooled from you, it will be the first time.

Nope, it wasn't me. I don't recall seeing anything recently that was suspension worthy - or at least nothing worse than his usual vile insults and name calling.

Yeah, whoever thought nursing was a profession? https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1995145800112898469 The Trump admin now says nursing isn't a professional degree. The admin plan to redefine what constitutes a professional degree to exclude nursing and limit access to student loans — outraging national health care groups and leaving nursing students questioning how they will pay for graduate degrees. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/education/trump-administration-says-nursing-isnt-professional-degree-new-limits-rcna245911

We feel great when you log off here for the day, too!

Fun Fact: The price of a tangible good (like a drug sold at a pharmacy) cannot fall more than 100% because that would result in a negative price, which is impossible for a physical item.

Oh, you are right, I stand corrected as I didn't think it was possible that anyone could have topped Hardcore Troubabour.

We can only hope.

It is not too persuasive to say that Socialism fails when the best argument you can come up with is The Pilgrims.

Yes, and imagine another guy bumping that in this lightly trafficked message board.

FUN FACT: Tree of Knowledge is a misnomer.

He says he doesn't need this place, but has posted more times (121k) than anyone else.

The bottom line is that she died for a Trump photo op.
