Can anyone explain how all of these people aren’t being sent to prison for straight up treason? Isn’t blatantly and loudly stating that you’re intending to overthrow the united states government an enormous crime?

You’d think so, wouldn’t you? People have been locked-away for treason after lesser acts than Jan 6. Treason laws in the United States . If the feds won’t prosecute, I’d hope the state AGs would start to look into these kind of public displays of insurrection.

All conservatives must be dealt with. It's beyond clear that they cannot continue to exist in our society.

Dismantle all super PACS. Disseminate information to uncontrolled civilians. Destroy legalized bribery. If all else fails, become ungovernable.

masquenox , to Politics in Josh Hawley Calls for Ukraine Funding To Be ‘Redirected to Israel Immediately’

Considering that Israel used a lot of that handout money the US gave it to fund Hamas back in the late 80s, why doesn’t Josh Hawley just cut out the middleman and give Ukraine’s support directly to Hamas?

Makes about as much sense as anything else emanating from right-wingers…

Actual Nazi supports Israel? I didn't see that one coming.

Isn’t there an “end times” theory of why Christian conservatives support Israel?

Peaty ,

Yes, the “Left Behind” stories start with a nuclear conflict between Russia and Israel.

It is something Christo-fascists seems to buy into… but there’s far more to it than just that. Christian Zionism predates Jewish Zionism, and it has always been a thoroughly antisemitic thing.

More shocking to me was seeing Israel hold others under a military boot. Like, really?!? That’s the tact they picked?

There's a whole trope of abused children growing up to be abusers.

I would like to propose that we all tell him to go fuck himself.

GOP is just an extension of Russia.

Didn’t a bunch of high profile congressmen or senators go to Russia on the 4th of July?

I know Rand Paul was one and he is always outspoken about not wanting to help Ukraine. I think we can all put two and two together. I wish there were consequences for being treasonous.

    flipht , to Politics in [News] 90-Year-Old Dianne Feinstein Cedes Power Of Attorney To Daughter – But Remains In Senate

    Power of attorney is a normal thing, and it doesn't actually indicate that she's unable to care for herself.

    It's something all people should seriously consider if they have a responsible adult child.

    It has to be done BEFORE you're actually in need, because you have to be competent to make the decision. It saves families a lot of drama if the person winds up in the hospital and someone needs to pay their bills, or needs to make other financial decisions while they're incapacitated.

    All that said, feinstein is definitely incapable of caring for herself, so she needs to go. But I wish people would stop demonizing this particular thing, since it has nothing to do with the actual issues.

    No one is demonizing this particular thing. People are complaining about a senator who needs to give way to a younger, more progressive person.

    Like a 70 year old. /s Jokes aside this highlights things well.

    Seriously though, no one is demonizing the thing. They're pointing out the thing adds strong evidence to the arguments they've been making for the better part of the last 20 years. When W Bush went under the knife he signed over power to Cheney. That's the responsible thing to do. On the same token, Feinstein has indicated the likelihood that she is unable to serve her role in numerous ways, with this just being one more way. If she can no longer speak for herself, how can she speak for Californians? I live here, BTW. I'm affected directly.

    if youre no longer fit to make decisions for yourself on a permanent basis, like dementia here, you should be forced to resign. im not calling for someone who needs it for a short term injury or impairment though.
