Why Won’t Republicans Say Melissa Hortman’s Name?

Political violence is never acceptable. Mike Nellis Sep 11, 2025 https://endlessurgency.com/p/why-wont-republicans-say-melissa   The conservative propaganda machine is in overdrive right now, blaming the left for Charlie Kirk’s murder yesterday in Utah despite knowing very little about the shooter. Let me be clear: what happened to Charlie Kirk was horrible. However you or I may feel about the man, political violence is unacceptable—full stop. He didn’t deserve that. His kids didn’t deserve to lose their father. No one should have to suffer that kind of loss. But there’s a name Republicans are terrified to say right now:  Melissa Hortman . Melissa Hortman was a Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota, brutally murdered—alongside her husband and her dog—by a conservative activist just 12 weeks ago. Her name deserves to be said in this moment. Charlie Kirk’s murder is an attack on all Americans. So was Melissa Hortman’s. Every time this kind of political violence su...

It is past time

It is far past time to begin the practice of shunning the orange idiot, everyone in his administration, every one of their family members, and everyone of their sympathizers, and every republican in Congress. We can no longer afford to allow these people to run around enjoying the fruits of OUR labor, without paying the same costs they are imposing on the American people, and the people of the world. Protests, marches, placards, and banners are no longer working. These people have no shame, and they don't give a flying fuck about you or the United States. The only thing that they care about is their own comfort, and their own power. They are laughing at our feeble attempts to force them to abide by the laws, the traditions, the social norms, or even the tenets of their religion. They really don’t care that they are taking food, and health care, and proper education and housing from children and their families just to have more money and power. And damn, many of them have more m...

July1, 2025 a rant Now. This make this may piss some people off. As the politicians themselves are open to humiliation, so are their wives are. When they go to church they should be humiliated. People should move off the pew that they sit in. Don't shake their hands. If your church service has hugs, refuse. Turn your back. Leave their bridge clubs. Don't go to their little cocktail parties. Put them into social exile. They wish to be cruel. Then they're going to have to expect cruelty in return. If they're not going to show respect, Then they're not gonna be able to expect respect in return. We cannot continue to treat these people as good people, but misguided. We can't continue to treat these people as emotionally stunted. These people are Nazis. There is no other way to put it. If you take the period from 1933 to 1939, in Germany. You can bring those six years right on over here to the United States and just change the names and the dates and that's what ...

what's really fascinating is this shithead dumbfuck says the people can handle the truth or whatever. Well.... President Joe Biden has been saying that he's keeping his hand off the DOJ, and Merrick Garland is keeping his hand off the Special Counsel Jack Smith. So, I ask him, what the hell different does he think he's gonna learn. Fucking republicans need to start thinking about governing, and fixing the problems this country has, instead of looking foe revenge because their false idol is crashing down on them.

it does seem as if too many people have a problem with reading comprehension. So as a public service... A reading comprehension test.    SANIBEL, Fla.— People are taking full advantage of visiting Sanibel with no causeway tolls, and business owners said they are loving this idea. Clare Harris at Billy’s Rentals said, “We’ve definitely seen an uptake in customers today; it’s wonderful.” Harris said the toll fee being waived has helped her get more customers on bikes. “It’s just great to see the families come out,” Harris smiled. The Brandl family being one of them. Liz Brandl is visiting Sanibel with her family. She said, “We’re going to go on a bike ride and go see the lighthouse with the kids and then we wanted to go out and explore some beaches today.” Liz said not having to pay the toll fee made her visit to Sanibel even better. “It was wonderful! It was really easy to enter; we appreciate saving the money coming over here,” smiled Liz. Plus, the rest of the Brandl family w...

On this Electoral College day...I like to reflect on 'the serious answer'... 12-14-2020 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214709776 'An anguished question from a Trump supporter: "Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid?"   The serious answer: Here’s what we really think about Trump supporters - the rich, the poor, the malignant and the innocently well-meaning, the ones who think and the ones who don't...   That when you saw a man who had owned a fraudulent University, intent on scamming poor people, you thought "Fine." That when you saw a man who had made it his business practice to stiff his creditors, you said, "Okay." That when you heard him proudly brag about his own history of sexual abuse, you said, "No problem." That when he made up stories about seeing muslim-Americans in the thousands cheering the destruction of the World Trade Center, you said, "Not an iss...
