Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court immunity decision: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution"
KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.
No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.
Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it's vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.
The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization and an existential threat to the United States that must be destroyed.
For context: The Heritage Foundation is responsible for "Project 2025."
-Good liberals with infinite patience and calm rationality turned me from conservative, and kinda shitty guy, to centrist with empathy for others.
-Maga turned me from centrist to reliably liberal (vote for each person down ballot based on scrutiny of their merits instead of affiliation...but heavily blue leaning, unless the Dem was a knob or had a bad plan)
-P2025 turned me into VoteBlueNoMatterWho for every candidate for every election from local to president.
Brother, I don't know how your day is going. I don't know how you feel about your past self. I do know that this comment of yours made me tear up. It's easy for me to vote blue. It was harder for you to decide, and I appreciate your effort. Thank you for being my neighbor.
I asssume both of us realize 'vote blue no matter who' won't be enough. The DNC doesn't exist as a bulwark against fascism. It's only function is to operate as a hand of corporate interest. Currently the DNC is used as a way to corner us to the edge of a cliff so they can clip off the weak ones then drive the rest off the ledge.
If there was a way out, right now, it would be straight through. Except corpo rightly expect that you will cling to your way of life until the very end. Maybe if, when we were younger, they told us, "Some day you will have to make a choice. Chose to cling to your material possessions or to cling to each other. One will directly effect the other. Prepare yourself everyday until that point."
Even then, we know now 30% for sure aren't giving up their "stuff" no matter what. The rest. We will see I suppose.
you guys are going to have to vote like your lives depends on it, coz it probably does. at what point does this become civil war? it feels like you guys are in a death spiral, and the only way out of it is to literally take out the other side. honestly if the rest of the world has to come over there and bash your heads together we'll be properly pissed good luck We're all going to need Trump to lose signed, The World
Please send help. Please. Help us rest of world, you're our only hope.
Yeah no. No one is going to intervene on your private continent where there's three guns per person. And unless those countries fancy getting friendlier with China, they'll just hold their noses when they deal with Trump. Like they did 2016 to 2020.
You've got the means already; get your guns, beans, and gasoline. And if you care about American democracy, and these chuckle-fucks try to kill it, then you're going to have to fight for it
Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but good luck.
We'll get "help" after we lose WWIII and West America is controlled by China and East America is controlled by the EU.
"We've tried nothing all we're all out of ideas!"
And instead of gracefully resigning due to his obvious mental decline and nominating someone else at the convention, Biden has decided he'll take us all down with him.
We heard this bullshit when Joe Biden ran in 2020. Yet Biden has done a remarkable job. Both Republicans and Democrats prefer his policies.
…in the process of taking this country backWARDS.
I despair. Fuck him and all of them.
At some point in time people are going to be killed.
It's not as if the right wing goons haven't been killing the decent people already.
We are in the process of becoming a shit-hole nation.
Biden should do an official act at the Heritage Foundation.
"I did that"
DROOOOOONEEEEE STRIIIIKEEE...there is precedent for Official use of drones against terrorists in the past!
The military swears allegiance to the Constitution, to protect and defend the country from BOTH foreign AND domestic threats. Well the domestic threat is pretty apparent.
You know if there were ever a group of people that deserved to fully understand what it means to be firebombed it's the fucking heritage foundation.
The federalist society is right there with them.
at least we know who’s on the side of the redcoats …
Celebrating a king,, they are the red coats
The red hats
Land of the free no more if you ain't a straight white christian creationist cis man.
I weep for you great America.

Ironically, people fleeing persecution of the Anglican religion in England and wanting to worship God in their own way (still Puritan though) was basically the number one thing that gave America its start, and therefore formed the strongest core of its identity. You hear more about the "go west young man" type of independence loving peoples, bc it is more recent and there are TV shows depicting it made with less time intervening between its end and their construction - i.e. cowboy westerns. Shows that depict the former are much more rare though, e.g. Salem.
Until recently, the vast majority of Americans considered themselves Christian, at least in theory - like, even if they almost never went to church. And the stories we tell are full of Judeo-Christian themes of fairness and virtue and living "rightly", like King Arthurian myths (as opposed to e.g. cunning and craftiness uplifted in other parts of the world, e.g. Aladdin or most Russian tales).
But the key is: who stands between you and God? Nobody? (=freedom) Or some old, rich, landowning white man? "Nobody" implies a terrible burden of personal responsibility, somewhat akin to running your own Linux server and even having installed Arch btw (at least once sometime, for the experience if not a daily driver), whereas "big daddy corpo-king takes care of you" seems to be the philosophy that rules the current day:-(.
Translation: we gave up our freedom for the sake of convenience. And now we are all too weak pushovers to be able to stand up to what's coming next. Oh well, Rome fell too - it's not like we were going to exist forever.
They're Christofascist Nazis. They need to be dissolved. Either in an alkaline or acidic solution, whichever is cheapest.
Nationalist Christians...Nat-Cs, if you will.
Please remember to upvote if you want the message to be spread - downvoting just bc you don't like the content will have the opposite effect. This fascist's words and deeds should be seen by all, yes?
Upvotes are for visibility.
Exactly. But when I said that, it was equally up vs. downvotes and that kind of rocky start can kill a post's visibility in Hot. Now there's 10x more up than down so it seems past that hurdle, but even so I figured it would be a good reminder overall.
How come the people who say they need automatic weapons to defend themselves from their government at the same time cheer for giving their government absolute power?
They also don't understand how important drones are going to be.
I finally understand what ‘make America great again’ means. The America they are trying to return us to is the one where we had a king.
god I hate conservatives. These people are pure evil
These people are terrorists
Non-state actors who use violence or the threat of violence to achieve political aims.
Yup, checks all the boxes.
I'd say that's slightly off. Most terrorists have no intention of actually ruling the regions they terrorize.
These people are more fascists.
Fair
Subby should have included the whole quote that Media Matters truncated.
"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
Translation, let us turn this country into the Republic of Gilead or we will kill you.
This is the same logic Nazis used. The narrative was that Jews forced their hand by refusing to comply with their demands.
Make no mistake, this is a promise of bloodshed. They just want to sound like they want peace and that they'll have to kill to get it.
Kill them first.
So they're openly admitting to a coup attempt.
There are a ton of fucking fascists in this country.
An Unelected Organization run by Billionaires in the shadows applauding a Republican Court's ruling is the EXACT PROOF that DEMOCRATS are the DEEP STATE!
It was always projection.
Look at his words a little deeper, and you'll pick up the thinly veiled message. He's not saying anything that a rapist has not said to a victim before, during, and after the act. What he said was "as bloodless as the left will allow".Said another way, "Don't resist our brazen coup attempt and you will not be harmed. Everything is going to be okay. Don't resist, don't struggle, don't fight. Just let it happen. You want this, I can tell."
People like the Heritage Foundation represent the Tories, though.
Conservatives have always been the bad guys.
“Damn maybe somebody should do something about this” — biden, current emperor of the USA (according to the SCOTUS)
If these people aren't already on a counter-terrorist watch list, they should be.
Not yet, I figure it will take at least another year, year and a half, tops.
I am going to guillotine his nutz. Metaphorically! Threats are illegal in H4mburg3rL4nd D: boomer.
Pretty sure threats are illegal everywhere
Why the fuck isn't this ringing any alarm bells in this country?
He's not wrong.
Sooo close..
It isn't the 2nd US CivilWar,
rather, it is the US Civil War Part2.
Not the US Revolution at all,
rather the Confederates revolution, within the US ( a "reverse takeover", since they never really surrendered, in the previous half of the US's Civil War, back before the 1900's )
Don't you dare speak of injustice when your candidate raped children, one four times, with the last rape occurring when she was thirteen years old.
I do think the funniest outcome of this is that the president could refuse to pay thomas and alito on the grounds "they've already been compensated" and we might even enter a situation where alito and thomas try to rule on their own case, further humiliating them
