But the new $1.5 trillion Federal spending bill just passed imposes NEW GUN CONTROL on the United States, including deputizing state and local police to punish those 99 percent who are innocent, but fail the NICS check for gun buying, because of poor Federal recordkeeping.

Considering the $$ they woild. Most athlet3s fro. Any country would unless it woild mean their demise. Didn’t the tennis star just recently cave in and get vaccinated in order to keep playing? I woild have loved to see all the tennis stars walk off the court in support of the fella that refused to get vaccinated- sending shock waves through the Australian tennis open, but like you say, unfortunstely $$ talks, 💩 walks

[[I do not support “compelled speech”. Period. End of story]]

We condemn Wimbledon for doing it, but even here inmthe us the judges overseeing the sham Jan 6 trial/persecution have done that very thing to the defendants- a judge actuslly denied bail because the defendant would not denounce Trump. I think that judge did so several times if I recall correctly.

I don’t understand why lawyers didn’t jump all over that as a violation of rights. Th3y just let violent cri I Al’s with very long criminal records go with no bail required, but have kept peaceful protestors in so,Italy because they wouldn’t renounce Trump, and Jan 6

That whole circus is strange...where are our congressional representatives? We hear blatant violations of various rights...yet nothing seems to be done.

I wish i knew. Their inaction is really turning me off to the party altogether. It’s like I’m trying to hold onto my support for the right, but they do everything possible to drive me away- it’s like trying to hold onto the party by the skin of teeth. Sadly there is no viable alternative. If there were I’d be gone from the republican party in a heartbeat because of things like this very issue with the political prisoners and near silence by the gop.

I lost a LOT of faith in the gop when they sat by and not just allowed, but also actively helped in many cases and states, the left to steal the election. I have never seen such a betrayal of the party before on such a large scale. Ehat little respect i had left for the party took a massive nosedive last election/night of theft

“I don’t understand why lawyers didn’t jump all over that as a violation of rights.”

Well, while a case is still pending, the trial judge is mostly the end of the line. Once the case is over, the lawyers can go to the appeals court and make hay out of every bad thing the judge did, but until then, the only recourse would be filing a complaint with an inquiry board or the Bar, which probably won’t do anything to help their client, and very likely will piss the judge off. So it’s a lose-lose situation most of the time.

It woild be awesome of Trump woild say “the American people gave e republican party every chance to do the right thing, and the party failed miserably.

Therefore, today, I am announcing the creation of the a new party that is TRULY “OF THE PEOPLE- BY THE PEOPLE- AND FOR THE PEOPLE”, and I am here to remind everyone that politicians serve the people, and that the people are NOT subjects of polticians!! We are a,sovereign nation, and as such, we demand fair representation or we will step in and fire every last one of the people who forget that they work for the people, not inspite of the people!

I am also announcing that the people will determine how much their politicians can earn, and if the people feel that the politician isn’t pulling their weight enough, then a special vote will take place to determine a new lesser amount. This shoukd be incentive enough to keep,politicians honest enough to keep trying to do a good job for their constituents. If not, the people can vote to replace whoever isn’t up to the task. No political wants to hear the words “You’re fired!”, but that is exactly what will happen if they forget who they work for. The end, amen, brother Ben”

Thanks, I guess I had ot thought of that- that gives a little hope to the situation. Explains a bit why there seems to be silence on the last of the lawyers- not silence, but like they just didn’t seem to be invested in their clients best interest so much, as the courts are blatantly and openly pers3cuting people politically. It seems like it couldn’t happen here in the US, but here we are, right smack dab in blatant persecution

Beleivr me I stand right behind your decision. I live in a state where the conservative vote is useless, but even if it weren’t, the republicans””in office are just as ad as the democrats practically.

IF we get calls asking for donations to the republican party this year, they are gonna get an earful as I ask them why I should waste good money on the party that left peaceful protestors to rot in solitary for over a year without so much as even trying to raise awareness of the violations to,their,rights, and political persecution and abuse they took for simply walking into a building after being invited in!

Th3n I will demand that they take me off their call list and inform,them that their party has a very very long way to go to get me interested In The party again.

Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston has revealed that he is actively looking at the requirements that will be placed upon individual athletes in order for them to participate in international events.

Does being good enough count?

The EU-Reich has spoken!

You need to update your invective. The UK is no longer in the EU.

“I feel like a battered wife.”

That is an excellent analogy.

The gaslighting, the demonizing (”its your fault I did that to you”), the demands for obedience (”get vaxxed—if you don’t you are being selfish), and the claims of disloyalty all fit the template.

Same here.

I think they forget that they’re employed as _REPRESENTATIVES_ of USA residents, voted for by citizens with the expectation that our best interests come FIRST.

Yet the opposite seems to be true.

China is said to be engaging in genocide of the Ughyrs, and engaging in organ harvesting. China either intentionally or inadvertently released COVID-19 on the world. As punishment for these and other misdeeds, China hosted the Olympics. Russian and Belarus tennis players, who may or may not support Putin, could be required to denounce him and, by extension, their countries in order to play at Wimbledon. If they do denounce him, these players may join the Russian newscaster who mysteriously disappeared after interrupting a new program to denounce the war. Sounds fair.
