The GOP ticket of JD Vance and Donald Trump, from ‘menstrual surveillance’ to sexual assault, has made itself clear
The Republican party of the United States remains the party of denying women fundamental human rights. The US press as a whole remains the instrument of softening up or ignoring this reality.
“Trump has long been criticized for his public treatment of women,” ran a CNN headline. “The ones in his life argue he’s different in private.” What follows is a puff piece in which prominent Republican women say nice things about him, and his history of alleged sexual assault is mentioned several paragraphs down.
I like putting the couch before the horse in the article, I’m sure trump hates his name second.
They should also hammer the point home that Vance is Trump’s heir apparent should he die as president.
The horse deserves a couch to lounge on. The poor thing has been standing in the field for so long.
The couch thing wasn’t real. We need to be better than Republicans and parroting a weird lie isn’t the way to do that
We do need to be better than the hatemongers that get their own base so fired up, they hurt themselves in the confusion. Better than those who support a rapist and victim blame. We need to show what a truly progressive agenda looks like. Rise up from our daybeds, chaises, loveseats and/or ottomans and spread hope, visions of a trek-like future (after first contact), and the idea that we don’t have to work to survive, instead we work to thrive.
I get that you find this all very funny, but repeating something that never happened at all is not helping.
Sorry. I needed my 24 hours of it. I’m clear.
We should definitely be comparing Trump’s Project 2025 to Harris’s plans, as they get released (her campaign isn’t a week old yet, so I’m sure details will be flimsy for a bit yet).
