The GOP doesn't care about intelligent people. Sharp people are a threat to the ignorant. So they look for loyalists and do the Heritage Foundation's bidding. Project 2025 is the fruit of their greed and insanity.

The hypocrisy of the tRump regime and Repugs in general is breathtaking. They are removing the best and the brightest from the ranks of the intelligence community while our country is under attack from the Iranians and those supporting them. What could go wrong? Perhaps another 911? It is absolute idiocy.

Pence's comments about her, especially to her mother, are emblematic of Republicans in general. When it is someone they know, they can often empathize and show a little more compassion and understanding. Sadly, their empathy ends there. They cant see people in the distance who are suffering and feel anything but judgment and condemnation.

The difference is sadism. I'm glad that Pence isn't one. But Trump and his team surely are.

Intelligence has no place in MAGA world because intelligent people cannot be controlled. It is also shocking that MAGA cares more about what is in between someone's legs than their intelligence and service to our country.

How smart is not voting when fascists are on the ballot. Why are smart liberals OK with punishing the Dems by letting Trump win? What exactly is the end game with not voting?

Can someone stop this person posting these these seemingly off topic statements on my threads? This is the 2nd time this person has responded similarly to my posts. What's up with this????

Sorry but whenever I hear the people who declare Trump voters as stupid in a smugly superior way as if Trump can be brushed aside as being too stupid to be dangerous when we blow 2 elections in allowing Trump to win it kind of sets me off at how glibly we disregard the absolute tragedy the 2016 election was that saddled us with SCOTUS. As far as I'm concerned all other topics are directly related to the greatest blunder by the American electorate in history. I won't address it again except as post and not a reply but I won't shut up either or stick to the topic. If you want to be upset about the treatment of minorities in America we should have all voted to protect them from a Trump picked SCOTUS. Again I won't address this issue except as a new post and not as a reply. If this election gives me a reason to put this topic to rest I'll do it but it will take dedication over a long period to undo SCOTUS. Not people whose desire to vote to prevent the worst from happening can't be depended upon to protect the minorities we claim to care about. I will never bother you again. Malcolm Nance makes this case very well without apology for doing so.

Well, #1, you're not sorry, so don't say you are because it makes you a liar. #2 You're entitled to express your opinion, but so am I and yes, I still think MAGA voters are stupid for voting for a pedophile and criminal three times and nothing you say will change that. #3, I voted in every election since the age of 18 so not sure who you think you're talking to here in YOUR condescending way. #4 You're NOT Malcolm Nance, nor are you entitled to be rude to people here let alone scold anyone on this board. #5 lastly, do start your own post if you cannot even respect the people commenting here to the show's host and moderator, and each other. I will continue to report you if you continue to single me out and harass me.

Its not just voting but voting for who is most likely to defeat evil. I don't pay attention to who posts or keep track of names so please don't feel singled out .It wasn't my intention make it personal just to you when I make lots of posts on Yahoo to strangers about this same subject and get very little negative feedback. I won't read any of your posts now that I know who you are.

Nella DeCesare's avatar

Stop telling me and others how to feel. Grow some manners. Everytime you respond, I'm just going to report you to substack. Now you're just harrassing me.

Of course a trans woman is the only woman “mother” would let near him!

I’m happy for Jamie Curlee that Pence treated her with dignity and respect. But this is very typical of Republicans. On an individual basis, they can have a fine relationship - gay Republicans routinely point out that fellow Republicans are nicer to them than other gays. One on one, they love us. But don’t be fooled - as a collective, they despise our very existence.

Dear Mike… My husband and I are now in Scotland. They hate him here too!

As a gay Hoosier, Mike Pence will never get anything from me other than complete contempt. Songs like "Smiling Faces Sometimes" and "Back Stabbers" apply perfectly to his kind of Hoosier Christian Hospitality. If you want to revisit his RFRA debacle, please read my book The Handyman's HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER, Hoosier gay fiction set in 2015. I painstakingly research the RFRA part of the story to make sure the facts were in the fiction. One of the reasons I wrote it was to remind people of an important piece of gay Indiana history, and to reinforce how deadly White Christian Nationalism is.
