On a different subject but still regarding our mad man president, I was pleased to see on the cover of the right wing, Rupert Murdoch owned MAGA supporting New York Post. The front page headline cover with an editorial calling Trump out for his stance regarding Putin and Ukraine is encouraging showing that Republicans have at least some moral compass. Perhaps this is the first crack in the solid Republican wall of support for every crazy idea that he pushes forward with. At least I hope that this is the case…
I never would have thought republicans would try to overturn marriage equality.

Agreed, it was abysmal, I got so pissed off watching i just turned it off. The orange orangutan and his gadfly were horrifically disrespectful to President Zelenskyy. If they had horked up a fat lugie and spit it in his face it would have been less insulting. The admin has stooped to new lows and I think they are doing this on purpose for something larger in the works in the background. If it's just sheer ego and arrogance, well, we're fucked double.
I apologize on the behalf of the few sane Americans that are left.

I read Project 2025, every one of the almost 1000 pages. They were very clear on rolling back Obergefell and marriage equality, as well as, Lawrence which struck down sodomy laws. They also have Griswold in their sights as they want to ban birth control and any type of family planning. And, one of the reasons I finally obtained permanent residence in Mexico was their hostility towards non-Christians. The Christian Nationalists outright hate Muslims and they are not too fond of Jews. My sister and I have had a series of discussions on the topic since she thinks that no matter how bad things might get, the US would never tolerate the viciousness of the 3rd Reich toward Jews and others. I remind her that our grandparents fled Budapest for Berlin in 1920 because they thought they would be free of the violence being directed at Jews in Hungary. Germany was the most educated, cosmopolitan, scientifically advanced, and cultured country in Europe at the time. They thought they would be safe. It wasn't like Poland, Hungary, or Romania were [and still are]. We all know how that worked out.I never would have thought republicans would try to overturn marriage equality.

I am not saying it will happen but I am not going to be shocked if they start with the LGBT community, work their way up through immigrants, and then do a number on Muslims and Jews.
And even more terrifying is what they have done in a little over a month
. We have rolled back decades if not a century of progress.Well tonight's State of the Union address should be interesting, they're already releasing statements saying student protestors will be arrested and/or deported. When was peaceful protests an arrestable offense? Oh that's right, violent insurrection is the preferred method of the ruling party now (with pardons to prove it!)...
At this point the hole is getting too deep and we're stuck for the ride to hell
What a shit show. I'm making popcorn otherwise I'll drink myself to oblivion.

I put up with almost an hour of the shit show. I’ll watch the highlights or more like the low lights in the morning on Morning Joe. Shit Show is indeed what it was and I can only imagine what else he said after I turned it off in disgust

I think all the Democrats should have walked out when the one Democrat was escorted out because he stood up and called Trump a liar.
By staying and protesting (even if only with signs) that's something. If they all left that's what the Republicans want, the whole floor to themselves. We are going to need to concentrate on Florida and a few other special elections that are happening across the country right now to at least get to the point where the house is tied and no new legislation can pass unless it is bipartisan.
We may not be able to flip the Senate right away but we need to be supporting the Democratic party Nationwide so that we can take the house back and the Senate back to put the orange bafoon in check for the remainder of his term. At least at a good majority of the Republican Town Halls they were all being accosted by protesters and people demanding answers so the movement is slowly starting, and they just released a statement saying no more in person town halls
I hope the Dems manage that, but I fear it's too late the damage to the US's relationship with it's 'allies' is already done I'm afraid.
The US is no longer seen as a reliable ally, and that view will remain even if the US elects someone sensible in 2028. Trump, Vance and Elon have destroyed 100+ years of trust and good will in 2 months.
