Exploiting a crisis: The travesty of Wisconsin’s election is a harbinger for the nation in November

As much as the denial of science is a hallmark of the Trump administration and the Republican Party, Wisconsin Republicans took things to a new level with their cynical decision to hold in-person voting in the midst of a deadly pandemic.

Voters in Wisconsin will face a choice on April 7 of participating in a presidential primary election or heeding warnings from public health officials to stay away from large crowds during the coronavirus pandemic. Hours after Democratic Governor Tony Evers issued an order postponing the election for two months, the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 6 sided with Republicans who said he did not have the authority to reschedule the race on his own. Conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court quickly followed with a ruling blocking Democratic efforts to extend absentee voting. “There are few things we...

President Thanos: Trump’s genocidal intentions were foreshadowed in his re-election campaign video

The “Official Trump War Room” re-election campaign posted a doctored clip to social media that superimposed the president’s face over the super villain Thanos on December 10, just as early reports of the coronavirus were coming out of China. Donald Trump is a genocidal warlord hell bent on destroying half of existence in the universe. That is not a criticism from the unhinged leftwing media, it is apparently how the president and his team see him. House Democrats can push their sham impeachment all they want.President Trump's re-election is 𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. pic.twitter.com/O7o02S26nS— Trump War Room – Text TRUMP to 88022...
