As far as I can tell, this is the best summary of the Martha's Vineyard incident.
Republicans hit Martha's Vineyard in an effort to show the world that Democrats are every bit as awful as Republicans. When instead the stunt proved the opposite of that, the Republicans simply pretended that it DID show that the Dems are indeed as awful as the Republicans. Just wild lying and miscalculating.
And a footnote: Whoever chose Martha's Vineyard as the target has a terrible understanding of the place. Of all places in the Northeast, MV might be the MOST inclined to virtue signaling by helping poor immigrants. Laughable miscalculation by the Rs.
But as I said, Rs will just pretend that the Ds on the Vineyard panicked or whatever.
You go, trumpists. Incompetent from beginning to end. Go salute your fuhrer.
It is mildly amusing that nobody except the taxpayers in Florida and the Hispanic vote there are calling out DeSantis on the idiocy of taking Florida Taxpayer money and flying migrants to Florida to then deport them as a show. Essentially he imported them in order to export them.
And this guy is #2 behind Trump in the GOP list of geniuses.
At last nights Q-Anon Red Cap Cult rally, Trump tried to publicly call out Biden for lowering gas prices! I thought low gas pricing was good over at Fox news?? Weird.
Of course Trump is crying foul at Biden for releasing federal reserves to increase supply. The only problem is that like most things, Trump's dumb followers are not equipped with the knowledge that Trump did the exact same things when he was president.
Deep, deep, deep swamp division. The swampiest swamp. The most swamp swamp of all swamps. This guy has been a high-powered Republican and Trump man for decades and of course recommended main Russia-Trump asset Manafort to be hired.
A confidant of former President Donald Trump goes on trial beginning this week on charges he illegally pushed U.S. officials to support policies favoring the United Arab Emirates, a case that could detail the small Gulf state’s back-channel connections and outsize sway in Washington.
Thomas Barrack, the former chairman of investment firm Colony Capital Inc., is accused of acting as an agent of a foreign government without prior notification to the U.S. Attorney General.
Federal prosecutors allege Mr. Barrack worked with a former colleague and an Emirati citizen to influence the Trump administration and U.S. officials at the direction of high-ranking Emirati officials. At the same time, Mr. Barrack solicited and received about $374 million in capital commitments from Emirati sovereign-wealth funds, they say.
Mr. Barrack, who was charged in July 2021, is also accused of obstruction of justice and making false statements during a 2019 interview with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Jury selection is set to start Monday in a Brooklyn federal court. The trial is expected to last about a month.
If you want think the migrants wanted to stay on a small island with no jobs or resources and some of the most expensive housing on the planet…you must be a Republican. The locals helped these people get to a place with resources. Exactly what is supposed to happen in a crisis.
but thanks for proving that Republicans will simply make up whatever result they want to be true.
They shipped them off the island in under 24 hours 🤣

Is it completely lost on you that Martha's Vineyard considered 50 migrants to be a crisis that required calling up 125 National Guardsman while border towns have less resources and get 50 migrants a day every day?
The Martha's Vineyard "stunt" proved that 100% Democrats are dishonest or stupid and usually both.
And here we are again, world. Better luck this time.

The people at Nazi rallies in the 1930s were told their country was going to hell, their leaders were weak, there were forces secretly controlling the govt behind the scenes, and only one man could save them leading a nationalist movement to fight the socialists and communists.
Hitler told them the press was the enemy of the people. He believed that when you repeated lies over and over, eventually people will accept them as truth. He believed the education system was filled with indoctrinating marxists. He encouraged people to have lots of kids. Etc etc

Tragic irony that the fascists are all on the left and people like you have been lied to so much by the media you believe everything they say and completely refuse to believe anything they didn't say.

These guys wanted to go to the Vineyard.
So it's OK to kick the migrants out as long as the locals are rich? 🤣
Yeah we're totally welcoming!!! But over there.

Replace "socialists and communists" with "Dark Ultra MAGAs" and you got Joe Biden's recent speech 🤣

hey look up January 6 sometime. You might be interested in which political party attempted to overthrow the United States government. Interesting stuff.

99% of the media is openly Democrat. If Fox is mentioned it's only in a derogatory manner.
I can't help but see both sides because the Democrat side is everywhere.
Meanwhile, people like agip have never heard anything that wasn't fed to them by a Democratic source.
That's why he and people in that bubble literally think the economy is doing great.

99% is a little extreme. Yes, lots of corporations are “woke”, like Disney, Netflix, etc., but that doesn’t make them democrats. They are just presenting themselves in a way so they won’t get cancelled. I bet a lot of the “woke” corporations are still giving money to republicans.

It is absurd to think that the average American isn't bombarded with leftist propaganda by the media, social media, and Hollywood.

Cancel culture is entirely of the left.
Big tech companies are definitely on nobody’s side. Those guys think they are above politics completely. They will probably support whichever political party benefits them (won’t regulate them) which will probably be the republicans. Like I said, they are just woke for show.
Cancel culture is of the left but it’s not a bad thing in the grand scheme of things. We’ll reach a more nuanced understanding as the century goes on but I thinks it a good thing that people are being held accountable for things they have done and said. Unless you think Weinstein and Cosby should still be running around. Most of the “cancelled” people aren’t even cancelled anyway. Louis just directed a movie and does standup still. Seems fine to me.

I've stopped saying the economy is kicking tushie. It's a more mixed picture now
Still at full employment and that's huge - at the 99th percentile of 'if you want a job you can get a job' and that might be the most important number out there. But also, corporate profits are still strong, the deficit is falling, the dollar is strong, nominal wages are rising, and house prices are (for now) up. it's pretty good really.
but inflation, down stock market, slow growth, etc. The bad is catching up.
