Have you noticed that, when someone is actually found to have voted illegally, that someone almost always voted Republican?

The Voter Fraud Fraudsters 0

Writing at the Arizona Republic, E. J. Montini takes issue with a fake elector who is trying to claim that he did nothing wrong. A snippet (emphasis added):

“I will not let Gov. Hobbs, Attorney General Kris Mayes or Democrat Party ‘lawfare’ suppress my exercise of the rule of law or suppress my ability to preserve, protect and defend the constitutional freedoms that our republic was founded upon,” he said.

Actually, I think the republic was founded on the democratic principle that voters — not fake electors — decided elections

.

Snaring the Wealth 0

Ted McLaughlin explains Republican’s social security con. The gist (emphasis added); follow the link for the complete article.

The Republicans gained enough power to change the nation’s economic policy (under Reagan–ed.). They instituted a trickle-down economic policy (telling Americans that giving more to the rich would benefit everyone). But the new policy allowed the rich to hog almost all of the rising productivity. That meant the rich got a huge increase in income and wealth, while workers were no longer sharing in the rising productivity.

Since worker wages were not rising as expected (because nothing was trickling down), the Social Security funding was also not rising. This caused the funding problem Social Security will soon see. In other words, the Republicans caused the problem with Social Security with their failed economic policy favoring the rich (at the detriment of everyone else).

Michael in Norfolk has seen it before the mythmaking before. A snippet:

Reality of life in the Old South bore little resemblance to the mythical world of the Lost Cause. Now, Donald Trump is creating a new “lost cause” myth where the tenure of his regime is depicted as a wonderful time where per the myth all Americans – but especially white evangelical Christians – enjoyed a beautiful life and everything was better than it is today. Never mind the economic truth of the Trump years and the nightmare of the pandemic that Trump so thoroughly mismanaged.

Marie Antoinette (allegedly) said, “Let them eat cake.”

Republican governors and attorneys-general definitely say, “Let them drink lead.”

Afterthought:

I think it not an exaggeration to suggest that today’s Republican Party has abandoned the concept of the “common good.”
