The Absurd GOP

Ted Cruz claims that Democrats support getting rid of Thanksgiving and Christmas while implementing Sharia Law. He also claims that democrats want to abolish senate and congress.

They do not, but Democratic Socialists of America want to abolish the Senate (and a lot of other stuff). Francesca Hong, a Democratic candidate for governor of Wisconsin had a social media post against Thanksgiving surface. Cruz doesn't get it from nowhere, he just finds anyone on the left with an extreme view and paints it as the position of 'the Democrats'.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, 52, announced Tuesday she had joined Cameo, the website where people or businesses can pay celebrities and other recognizable people for personalized videos.

For just $149, people can ask Greene to make a video saying whatever they want. For another $5,000, businesses can book a personalized video from her.

What would you pay her to say?

How about: Dear Steve and Brandon, congratulations on your wedding! I hope you have a fun honeymoon. Now you can finally adopt a baby. I heard you were planning on becoming gay dads to a girl. That will certainly be a lot of fun. Anyway, good luck.

It’s probably a smart move for her. The article mentions that disgraced former Congressperson George Santos made US$174 000 doing the same thing.

I love the bit at the end where the guy blames president Trump's low approval rating on people being misinformed. He's then asked if it's possible that he's misininformed and he answers, "No, not at all."

That sums up what's wrong with this country.

A right-wing podcaster abruptly stormed off the set of a debate against a room full of progressives after being accused of fabricating outrage for profit.

Tim Pool, appearing on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, which pits one person against 20 people with opposing political views, was debating whether the United States is more prone to violence from the left or the right when the confrontation erupted.

The segment centered on Pool’s repeated claim that the country is “tracking toward a civil war.” Mason, an Instagram influencer known as OneHandPolitics who was among the first to challenge Pool, accused him of, among other things, saying “bulls--t to get money.”

Mason initially claimed Pool had called for a “civil war” back in 2019, a characterization Pool quickly disputed. “I’ve never called for civil war,” he said.

Mason corrected himself, clarifying Pool had instead said the country was on the brink of one. Pool pushed back on the framing itself, noting he’d cited an Atlantic article quoting national security experts on the topic, and said, “I don’t actually have a strong prediction” about a second civil war.

Mason wasn’t buying it. “You do have a strong prediction if you’ve been saying this since 2019,” he said. “There’s 42, people can look this up. There’s 42 of your titles that have the word civil war in it. Like big fonts on the front. So why is that? It’s sensationalist. It’s easy to get clicks on that. There’s a reason why you say it. Because it’s very profitable for your business.”

The two men began speaking over each other as Pool defended his record. “There comes a point where people stop taking your prediction seriously,” Mason said. “Are you going to make an argument or are you mad at me?”

Pool shot back. When Pool suggested Mason simply disliked his video thumbnails, Mason interjected, “I’m saying you say bulls--t in order to get money,” drawing applause from the room.

Pool then walked off the set, though he returned minutes later, defending his position on the potential for a civil war, “Are we going to actually talk about whether it will or will not happen? I mean, sounds like it’s going to!”
