    I don’t believe this headline for a minute. Most MAGA people don’t pay attention to politics, they don’t know they are under authoritarian rule and living in a fascist country with concentration camps in their neighborhood.

    Maybe 2 or 3 people online were upset, but nothing to change the cults opinion.

    How many headlines have we seen that start with “MAGA turns on”

    No. They didn’t.

    Of all the people you’d think would be impressed by her Adult-Mean-Girl-with-a-burn-book routine, and using just about every logical fallacy there is, you think it would be “maga”, AKA the baby-word we use for the base of the Republican Party.

    I’m just surprised she didn’t demand to see the manager somewhere in the course of her unhinged rants about how a hearing about her bungling/coverup for the Epstein Class wasn’t praising Donvict and wasn’t talking about the Dow, and didn’t want to talk about whatever weird bullshit side quest conservative grievances du jour she was trying to inject in there by name-dropping random names into the mix.

    I cannot even imagine what her internal dialogue must be like if she actually blurted out this kind of bilge, out loud, in the middle of a national hearing that is going to be televised. JFC.

    Why would they turn on her? I don’t believe it, she’s doing exactly what she / they have been doing all along. The evil hypocrisy has been too blatant for too long for me to think maga doesn’t love every second of it.

      That’s why she isn’t going to resign. Because her position is the only thing keeping her from going to prison.

        But accountability is fully non existent in the USA. If Bush got away with war crimes nobody is going to be punished

    Resign?

    I mean in the end this is exactly what she will do.

    But people misunderstand.

    This is a precalculated move to separate themselves from previous patrons and make it look involuntary and gain a victim status.

    This will only happen after does everything she was hired to do. All calculated.

    She won’t resign, and Trump won’t fire her. Her performance was exactly what Trump wanted. They prepared her for that performance, gave her all sorts of MAGA Conservative Propaganda Machine conspiracy bullshit to spew when the heat rose and she wanted to try to put them on defense. This was what they planned for, and what they wanted.

    Yelling crazy shit about made up nonsense from years ago, is exactly how Trump thinks this should be handled. He thinks that the American people have been shielded from the real behavior of these corrupt Democrats by the liberal mainstream media, and screaming it in public like a psychopath will alert America to the truth, and they will turn on the Dems, and support MAGA.

      It makes him and her look even worse to the normies. That’s if this kind of thing breaks through at all.

      I’m sure some of Republican faithful beat off to that kind of “testimony”.

        They have absolutely ZERO self-awareness. They walk away from something like this, patting themselves on the back, and congratulating themselves that they humiliated those Trump Derangement Syndrome Democrats, as the whole world looks at them like the pathetic weirdo losers that they are.

    No way she’s resigning. She doing exactly what trump wants her to do. Keep important things redacted and attract attention away from trump. She’s not going anywhere as long long as there’s heat on trump

      they are a weird bunch. They want to be bad and do bad but not look like they are bad. And believe they are owed everyone to be in some sort of alliance that will assure they dont look bad. And then get mad like looking bad is the worst thing ever. worse than the bad things they do.

    Stop with the RawStory links. It’s sensationalized garbage pandering to progressive values.

      Per Wikipedia’s sourcing standards:

      There is consensus that Raw Story is generally unreliable for factual reporting, based upon a pattern of publishing false and sensationalized stories. Editors almost unanimously agree that the source is biased and that in-text attribution should accompany each use of the source.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

      I brought this up so much in /c/politics, I got sick of it and blocked the sub.

      But tabloids work. As long as the headline is stimulating, upvoters and moderators don’t seem to care.

      It’s a shame you’re getting downvoted cause you’re on the money. People are kidding themselves if they think the Right are the only ones who have cynical media outlets telling them what they want to hear for clicks.

    At what point does covering up a child sex trafficking conspiracy make you an accomplice in the child sex trafficking conspiracy?

    I think Pam is way, way past that.
