My only quibble here is I think the box of rocks is smarter than Mace.

All MAGA leaders are grotesque, selfish, uninformed and/or stupid.

Their supporters are ignorant, stupid, uninformed, and/or brainwashed.

I would add gullible in the extreme!

Nancy Mace, Todd Blanche confirmed...It is so disheartening.

Don't forget about George Devolder Santos, and Pam Blondi.

You have to look at the people who elected this person. I would submit that the majority of them are unapologetic about their vote for Nancy Mace.

Look at Marsha Blackburn, who has opposed equal pay laws and domestic violence laws. She is actually dumber than a rock. Her voters will proudly make her Tennessee’s next Governor.

And, they elected Trump. Anyone who objectively considers what Trump has been saying and doing would agree that he is a malignant narcissist. This condition combines narcissism with three other pathological personality characteristics: paranoia, sociopathy, and sadism. Eric Fromm, who coined the phrase to describe Hitler, says such people are quintessentially evil.

Trump believes and acts as if he knows more about everything than anyone. He has empathy for no one. His paranoia is on full display in his demonization of the press, minorities, immigrants, and anyone who disagrees with him. He is a sociopath who constantly lies, violates norms and laws, exploits other people, and shows no remorse.

He is a sadist who takes pleasure in harming and humiliating other people.

His presidency has been characterized by evidence of all of these traits. There is no need to give examples to any person who has been paying attention.

Barry Maguire’s song (The Eve of Destruction) was about 50 years too early, but now, with a literal self-obsessed, demented, malignant narcissistic in command of our nuclear arsenal we are truly on the edge of WWIII.

Fascist Republicans Gambit Of Amorality

Jason Linkins (bit.ly/45OgUJg) over at the The New Republic has a great expose on the Muskrat’s millstone around Susan Collin’s neck. It seems that Muskrat’s brainchild xAI has begun to embrace pornography as part of its AI generated offerings. That’a a good look.

But the piece goes further in describing what has been going on in the fascist party since Cheeto descended the golden escalator to the cheers of paid attendees to falsely appear to support him. With his BFF relationship with a pedo extortion expert to his Access Hollywood tapes to his civil lawsuit losses to E Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels, Cheeto has created a political party that throws morality out the window and makes anything pornographic not only fair game but part of the game.

Not only have the fascists decided that lawlessness is ok but that anything that restricts their game to be off limits. In other words pornography, misogynistic behavior including putting an end to female reproductive rights, child and domestic spousal abuse, workplace sexual harassment are all on the table.

So Americans are at a crossroads of deciding what kind of country WE the People want to have. Do WE want a country that has moral standards? Or are WE just a bunch of lawless animals because that’s what the fascist Republicans are exemplifying to US.

I couldn't even finish listening to Mace. She is the poster child of everything that is wrong with this country and administration. She can't seem to get the message that the people of South Carolina don't want her in office.

My only problem with CNN is that they gave her window to voice her bigotry, stupidity, and ignorance.

MAGA seems to be loaded with them.

Is it truly too much to ask that politicians be competent professionals?

They are so hateful, I don’t know how they can live with themselves.

How she even got near a government job by voters is incredible, and speaks to the lack of judgment and training at the Citadel as well. Her face, voice, and words would repel a hungry alligator. Send her to the swamp anyway.

Like GW Bush (shrub), Trump is too lazy for the presidency.

Yes, nancy mace is an embarrassment to America, to our Constitution. I hate bigots. There was even a Muslim who fought in the Civil War (perhaps, in the Revolutionary War). Thank god she was voted out in S.C. I LOVE the First Amendment -- it encompasses all our other rights -- to be able to THINK and SPEAK our opinions, ... what is more freeing.

And necessary for a democratic society.

Isn’t communism a long ago failed ideology that has never been successfully implemented and isn’t anywhere to be found today?

Husaria's avatar

The problem, and there are many, with that MAGANAZIs is they don’t even know how to spell communism much less know what it is or its history. Karl Marx was Graucho Marx brother to them.

Like Pavlov’s dogs they start to salivate when they hear the “ C “ word. Funny isn’t it that just a few months ago they were screeching about socialism. Yet another word they have no idea what it means.

I wish they knew what Authoritarianism means.

Trump's epithets come back in his face like a fast boomerang:

loser scumbag traitor enemy of the people enemy of the truth

evil motivated very bad person liar huge liar vain self-dealer

We endure a political world that, with few exceptions, is comprised of individuals that have no personal integrity. Whatever beliefs and convictions they claimed before entering politics can be quickly modified or forgotten as becomes necessary for the moment. Their goal is power and the perks that come therewith. I am reminded of the expression “I have very strong principles, and if you don’t like those, then I have other strong principles”.
