How DARE the peasants want rights and healthcare!!!
McCarthy is back on the menu!
Deport to... ?
Its hard to refute the origins of socialism and communism in biblical teachings:
James 5:1
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.
The republicans seem emboldened to piss on the constitution.
Might as well bring back this classic album if we're just insistent on replaying the best hits of the 1870s - 1920s:
Chip Roy is Ted Cruz's sycophant to be clear about the hierarchy of maga stupidity. His ignorant bigoted white supremacist hated overflows but some highlights are wanting to kill the COVID vaccine to let waiting for a natural herd immunity kill tens of millions of Americans and blamed COVID deaths on immigrants.
If you chop off the end point of a stick, it won't have any end point anymore right? 😆
Just keep excluding the half you don't like. Do that each day. Watching will be fun.
Socialism or Barbarism it is then.
Calling him a socialist is ridiculous. In the rest of the world we would call him slightly left of center.
He is not taking control over private property. Although I would be all for that tbh.
Most Americans equate socialism with communism.
"Whose gonna pay for it" which oddly enough they are currently asking right now. Fuckin weird right?
"The people who already stole all the fucking money." It's so frustrating trying to get them to rub their two brain cells together.
and democratic socialism with communism
and social democracy with communism
and liberalism with communism
maybe years of red scare propaganda and complete lack of education didn't really help them develop good political sense.
The lead paint was just icing on the cake.
Indeed, socialism is thriving amongst the US corporations and farmers. Plenty of ignorant hypocritical asswipes in the MAGA ranks.
They are weird for everything left of center. And also don't understand basic nomenclature. At least the median us citizen.
That's a strange way of spelling "middling".
I don't get your joke.
Not even our far left parties in Europe are socialist
Depends on the country. Some have communist parties, like the PCF in France or the PCE in Spain. They aren't big though.
Please, define Socialism.
USSR socialism? Spanish socialism? Social democrat? Democratic Socialism?
That’s the neat part, the definition is whatever is most convenient for them in any given moment. They’ll define the most milquetoast liberal as a socialist if they get in their way.
They called Biden a socialist, ffs
“People we don’t like”
Am I late for advocating for socialism and/or communism?
I want to go left, is what I'm trying to get across, here. We can decide who's direction left after we're done going right.
If nothing goes right, go left.
Freedom of speech*
*terms and conditions may apply
Flagrant display of a disregard or lack of knowledge of the basic rules and laws that define our government operation like this should carry the penalty of immediate suspension and removal. If you're going to propose something this obviously petty and stupid, you shouldn't be in a position of power.
Also, they need to stop using "deport." The correct term is "exile." Deportation refers to a foreigner being expelled from a country. Exile is the removal of a citizen from their home country. See also: Napoleon
am i to believe they can define either of those terms? 😂
Sure, the definition is "anyone they don't like and/or disagree mildly with."
I think we should start rounding up all the pieces of shit that are trying to villainize being a decent human being.
Escalation of the ongoing red scare?
you know if these fuckers existed prior to 1776 they'd want to "deport" the founding fathers. Hell if Jesus came back today they'd deport him too.
Red coat, red hat. What's the difference?
OK then lets make a HITLER bill to deport fascists and racial supremacists.
that's what you needed to do before you let fascists take the reigns.
it's still crazy to me that Biden and every democrat called him a fascist but did nothing to stop fascism and when he won they sat down with him and shook hands and gave the keys to the entire system to a fascist.
like, ok. this is what you get. if you don't stop them, they'll stop you.
Don't threaten us with a good time
Literally fuck off (lawmaker, not OP)
Fuck you, Roy and the horse you rode on.
... I don't think Chip Roy can ride a horse.
He's an investment banker from Maryland who's been cosplaying a Texan for his whole political life.
Decent bar, actually. Maybe just Roy.
The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, up and down, up and down! The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, all the live long day.
Funny, for a bunch of “good old boys” who made like they couldn't’ figure out how to say his name, they sure figured it out when they had to, didn’t they?
Also, this particular dipshit is running against “MAGA” Mayes Middleton in a primary runoff, with both calling the other insufficiently conservative. A pox upon both their houses.
