Hm, I need to make a pin to link pins. XD That is, make a pin then just add to the chain things I think are good...

Do you really want to know why Cornyn gets the hate he does? 1) Cornyn is way out of step with his state. Was Biden's point man (look up the term "Judas goat", basically, leads the others to their doom) for the largest gun control of my generation THAT HIS VOTERS were making VERY clear they did not want. 2) Voted to pass said bill. 3) Went on the liberal Sunday shows to call his voters, who booed at him at a large Republican event and inundated his offices with messages to vote against the bill (you couldn't get a real person, I tried for DAYS and it's like his staffers just weren't answering phones and let them all go to voicemail), a mob that he did not have to listen to or represent - this is a man who thinks he is an aristocrat that owns his seat, not a representative in a representative democratic system who is supposed to vote on behalf of his constituents, not what HE thinks or wants himself. 4) Supported open borders. 5) Supported amnesty (for the so-called "Dreamers" and DACA recipients - because American children apparently aren't dreamers, don't have dreams, or futures, and don't deserve his attention). 6) Supported more H1Bs and more immigration, despite rising home prices, massive inflation, and Americans not able to get jobs. 7) Was completely passive in the culture war issues as the left ran rampant through our institutions. 8) Instead, attacked MAGA/conservtives on his right, and even Trump when he was running for reelection. 9) Was a shill for the Democrat narrative on things like J6, demonizing 70 million Trump voters in a massive guilt by association fallacy (that's what the Democrats used it for) with no pushback to his words being used for their narratives. 10) Despite his supposed seniority and power in the Senate, failed to get the SAVE Act passed. Wouldn't even talk about it until he didn't outright win his Primary and Paxton brought the issue to light in the Runoff saying he'd drop out of the race if it was passed. 11) Has supported every big spending bill ever, supports the Democrats writing the spending bills under Trump. Took part in Thune's promise to the House if they funded 9 departments they'd fund ICE and CBP...then has to date failed to uphold their end of the bargain by funding ICE and CBP. 12) Has not pushed back, in any way, on Thune having pro-forma non-recess recess gavling in of the Senate to prevent Trump for filling vacancies in the judiciary - this Senate is the only time in the history of recess appointments that has denied ITS OWN PARTY'S PRESIDENT recess appointments to put conservatives on the bench to fill judicial positions. 12b) This is especially egregious since the Democrats have already promised to stack and pack the federal courts, meaning any spots not filled by Republicans now will be filled with activist Democrats to go along with their other fillings if/when Democrats come back into power. 13) Has not pushed for the DOGE cuts or other government fraud accountability. 14) Supported funding things like USAID that are pretty obvious now as AT BEST progressive organizations consuming our tax dollars, and at worst, funneling it to Democrats (isn't it funny now that USAID is defunded, Democrats are all out of money and being out-fundraised by the Republicans ~10 to 1?). 15) Supported, without question or oversight of any kind, sending massive money to Ukraine as Americans were suffering under our debt and inflation. No amount was too much to spend. ........I can go on, but I'm kind of tired of making the list and only on point 15. XD So, tell me more about how you can't understand why Cornyn is hated? Does it make sense yet? Cornyn has an F Liberty Score and has voted with Republicans only around 60% of the time, and that's even an overstatement since a lot of that is just procedural votes or legislation that was going to pass anyway. Contrast with Cruz, who does so 88% of the time and has a solid B score with conservatives. Texas is a Red state. We should have a Red/conservative Senator. Ideally 2 of them. Leave the moderates like Cornyn for the Purple states.

Cornyn is nothing like Tillis or Cassidy. He’ll probably lose tomorrow but if he wins, it’ll be because he’s handled himself much better than any other primaried senator or Congressman. I personally never understood the hate he gets. That said, no one is entitled to a seat so it’s not like Paxton was breaking the law by running in a primary. And “nice guy” Hunt ran in the primary too! Massie had to go. Cassidy was way out of step with his state. But if Cornyn does win, it’s just a couple of Senate votes difference between him and Paxton over this coming term.

@Jhoaga1 @cjdelgross Not.

@SubduedRadical @cjdelgross Bullshit 😂

Daily reminder: January 6th was a coordinated, preplanned, and violent attempt to halt the 2020 election certification. The goal was to delay the count and buy time for Trump’s fake electors scheme to subvert the vote. Stop the gaslighting. Don't let them rewrite history. #NeverForget #Jan6

EVERY major Dem figure in the 1990s was a hawk on illegal immigration and strong border enforcement. They took that position because of the claim -- justified in large measure -- that "Main Street" liked illegal aliens as a source of cheap labor, and that was contrary to the interests of Labor Unions who were a key constituent of the Democrat coalition. This is true of prominent party leaders still in positions of authority today even if out of office -- Schumer, Pelosi, Bill Clinton, HRC, Obama, etc. Population shifts in the US and the move of the working class/union members in the direction of the GOP forced the Democrats to abandon that position. Obama moved towards open borders because the Dems needed more political supporters. If they were losing political supporters on a demographic basis inside the US they would simply bring them in from foreign countries -- by whatever means necessary. It was the only path to holding onto power. If the culture of the country had to be sacrificed to import political support -- and voters, legal or illegal -- that was a small price to pay for Dems in order to hold onto power. From that arose the doctrines of "intersectionality" and the "politics of grievance." Those are worse for the Dems than the disease that they were trying to cure.

@admiral_sean No, just you. Traitor. Bitch.

Fuck that traitor bitch and fuck you too.

Compared to what? The sick deranged disgusting left? I mean, here's the alternative right now: x.com/TheDemocrats/s… This is in defensible to do on Memorial Day trying to politicize not only the deaths of service members (bet they didn't get the families' approval first) during an active war, a war said military is STILL FIGHTING, to attack an opposition party President.

You vets still support this jerk?

@LeadingReport From a drug overdose. Maybe you guys shouldn't be pushing Floyd remembrance so hard on Memorial Day...you know, for the military?

George Floyd passed six years ago today.

@nagamyzuna No, it isn't. Even then we knew that narrative was crap and most of us recognized he died due to a drug overdose. But don't let reality get in your way. The last time the nation was unified was probably 2006. MAYbe 2008 if we want to be generous.

In hindsight this was the last time when the country bypassed polarization and united behind collective outrage against police injustice. You had major republicans and Trump himself calling for police reform and accountability. We’ll never have a moment like this again.

@lwoodlwoodl @joshuaparcha Floyd was a criminal and drug addict. Next thing you'll say, Ashley Babbitt was murdered. Oh, wait, no, you define murder by the political lean and skin color of the victim, right?

@joshuaparcha Racists/morons on this far-right website ratio the obvious truth captured on video that George Floyd was murdered. What is your point?

Many churches went along with this narrative (and even led the charge). Check out the ratio just six years later.

@JeanIsWitherin HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!

I just took APUSH and genuinely forgot what a few of these guys even did

@ventandwhine You are a sick sick deranged piece of excrement.

For Memorial Day every Republican member of Congress should go to Arlington National Cemetery, stand in front of a grave and apologize to the person who gave their life for the country that the GOP has now handed over to a madman. #MemorialDay

Weaponizing the deaths of Americans on a day of remembrance is arguably the lowest thing I have ever seen any political party do. Before anyone comes at me I would have the same opinion if republicans did this with the troops killed at abbey gate. This abhorrent, repugnant insult to their memory is beyond reproach. It’s clear you see service members as a pawn you can use against your political opposition. I am sickened by this act in ways that words cannot describe.

@tomcat23ta You know, if you had left off that last sentence, this would have been a good post. But no, you ruined it for everyone, disgraced yourself, and dishonored the military, all in one post, on Memorial Day. You sick disgusting piece of excrement.

I watched the National Memorial Day Concert on PBS last night. Every branch of the military was honored, even the Joint Chiefs of Staff were there and honored. The best part of the presentation was the absence of Pete Hegseth, VP Vance, & trump.

That's how I feel coming here about the left. My god, Democrat are sick and hateful people. I thought before social media, it was just a sliver of people on Reddit, and later, BlueSky. But no, it's like so many Democrats are disgusting terrible inhumane people and I don't even know how one gets to be that hateful of their fellow Americans and that dishonest, spreading lies like breathing...it's honestly gastly to see.

I prefer the ignorance I had before coming on this platform. This site is full of paid maga who hate their fellow Americans and lie like I've never seen before. Before coming here, I had no idea how despicable and demoralizing maga people were. Now, I find myself stooping to low levels, trying to defend our constitution, laws, healthcare, and the incessant lies about everything. These people live in an alternate reality.

@TheChuck1nator @JeremyRedfernFL @TheDemocrats Democrats, yes.

@JeremyRedfernFL @SubduedRadical @TheDemocrats You are absolutely scumbags.

Today, we honor the American heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump’s war with Iran.

@VicMelsky @TheDemocrats I hope so. They keep voting Democrat, though.

@SubduedRadical @TheDemocrats You might be right. I am an intentionally optimistic person I suppose. But it's possible they just don't notice (maybe not online as much?). That's what I attempt to believe.

@Marypoppinsass1 @cjdelgross No, my dear, you do not. Your reply and block, @Marypoppinsass1, shows that one thing in your name is correct: 3 of the last 4 characters.

@Marypoppinsass1 @cjdelgross You don't have any critical thinking skills.

The MAGA narrative that the FBI "orchestrated" or "incited" the January 6th Capitol riot collapses under basic logical scrutiny. It relies almost entirely on a massive Fallacy of Composition, a flaw in reasoning where someone erroneously concludes that what is true for a small part must also be true for the whole. In any large-scale gathering, especially involving fringe groups, intelligence agencies deploy Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) or undercover assets for passive information gathering. This is standard law enforcement protocol, not operational control. The conspiracy theory takes the documented presence of a handful of informants and aggressively stretches it to claim the entire crowd of thousands was directed, manipulated, or driven to violence by the bureau. This narrative is also sustained by the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy (assuming that because federal assets were present during the event, they must have caused the outcome). Independent investigations, hundreds of court filings, and a comprehensive Department of Justice have repeatedly confirmed a critical distinction: * No Authorization: None of the embedded informants were authorized to break the law, enter the Capitol, or encourage violence. * No Coordination: The explicit, documented intent and planning came from domestic extremist factions and individuals acting on election fraud claims, not a top-down federal operation. Legally, to prove government incitement or entrapment, the government must actively implant the criminal design into an otherwise innocent person's mind. Passive intelligence gathering does not meet this threshold. Blaming an entire multi-thousand-person riot on the mere presence of standard federal assets ignores the explicit, publicly stated motives of the rioters themselves, trading actual evidence for a textbook logical fallacy. #Jan6

@mwood730 @cjdelgross Aww, poor baby @mwood730 likes to reply and block. Well then, guess I don't have to answer your question, cutie pie. : )

You mean the QRF they used to protect against Antifa attacking their people at prior events? That was described in their own documentation as defensive? Like, there's extensive discussions and defense on that. I never even heard of it before reading about it yesterday, but it's funny how you've already got the talking point. My gosh, the left is good at throwing its narratives out to their masses...

@kmorrowleong @Leddy_Sean x.com/SubduedRadical…

@SubduedRadical @Leddy_Sean It’s interesting you think residents of DC are not peers. Could you elaborate on why? Why are people in DC “out of touch?” What substantive difference is there, except perhaps that they don’t have the same voting rights you do? I am offering you rope to defend or corner yourself.

It’s not weaponization when everyone is found guilty by a jury of their peers and every appeal is lost. Republicans are offended when they get caught, not for actually committing the crimes.

Sorry, but no. Given that 95% of DC voted against Trump, they aren't "MAGA peers". Here's the real tell: If the goal was fair trials, why didn't they allow change of venue? Not ONLY would it have been useful for the judicial system there - there were so many cases, sending them to other places might have eased their caseload and gotten more timely trials (about 300-400 people were still in prison having had no trial YET, in gross violation of habeus corpus and due process) - it would have shown that there wasn't an attempt to railroad people. The justice system relies on not even having an APPEARANCE of unfairness. Meanwhile, it appeared unfair, and not only did they not do a simple thing to address that, they didn't even care that it seemed so obviously unjust. It's why I've said if the right ever gets angry again and marches on DC, they won't do it unarmed - they now know if they go unarmed, they will be unjustly destroyed by the weaponized judiciary there and have their basic civic and legal rights to a fair trial stripped. There's no reason to go unarmed, may as well go armed and win or die by that, as they will simply destroy everyone and their families who aren't armed.

@SubduedRadical @irescuedogss @Leddy_Sean Hey math & science guy: the mean salary in DC is 93k. The median is 76k. When the mean is higher than the median a few outlier high values are pulling the # up. That means there are a whole lot of lower paid workers yanking the median data point down— MAGA peers, in your view.

@Facts_R_Good @cjdelgross x.com/Facts_R_Good/s… Sure, but the point is, he was hardly the only one overcharged and who did not get a fair trial/deal from the weaponized judiciary.

@SubduedRadical @cjdelgross Perna pled guilty to 4 charges, btw.
