Trump, Vowing 'Retribution,' Foretells a Second Term of Spite

Donald Trump has for decades trafficked in the language of vengeance, from his days as a New York developer vowing “an eye for an eye” in the real estate business to ticking through an enemies ledger in 2022 as he sought to oust every last Republican who voted for his impeachment. “Four down and six to go,” he cheered in a statement as one went down to defeat.

But even though payback has long been part of his public persona, Trump’s speech on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference was striking for how explicitly he signaled that any return trip to the White House would amount to a term of spite.

“In 2016, I declared, ‘I am your voice,’” Trump told the crowd in National Harbor, Maryland. “Today, I add: I am your warrior. I am your justice. And for those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution.”

He repeated the phrase for emphasis: “I am your retribution.”

Framing the 2024 election as a dire moment in an us-versus-them struggle — “the final battle,” as he put it — Trump charged forward in an uncharted direction for American politics, talking openly about leveraging the power of the presidency for political reprisals.

His menacing declaration landed differently in the wake of the pro-Trump mob’s assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in a last-ditch effort to keep him in power. The notion that Trump’s supporters could be spurred to violence is no longer hypothetical, as it was in 2016 when he urged a rally audience to “knock the crap out of” hecklers. The attack on the Capitol underscored that his most fanatical followers took his falsehoods and claims of victimhood seriously — and were willing to act on them.

I used to like it. I want to improve my Spanish. I used it for close to 200 consecutive days now

But I am so fucking sick of all the woke bullshit they throw into it. You want gay couples for Spanish lessons? Fine. You want woke feminists with purple hair? I will tolerate them every once in a blue moon but they are insufferable when they are displayed in every Spanish lesson.

There are seriously more “progressive” stereotypes, scenarios and relationships in it then there are traditional situations. I swear over 70% of the relationship examples on duolingo are gay relationship examples. Also there is all sorts of feminism examples where the men are often acting stupid and weak vs the women acting smart and confident.

It’s just way over the top and the agenda has gotten to the point I just want to delete the app. On top of that I know for a fact that Mexicans overall hate woke progressive crap more than Americans do.

I lived in Mexico for a while and know for a fact Mexicans tend to be much more conservative and traditional when it comes to family values. So why try to brainwash Americans in speaking into a progressive tone that will make them disliked by many conservative Latinos?

Are there any other good language apps that don’t do don’t have a leftist agenda with all this bullshit?

McCarthy tells Mayorkas to ‘stop lying’ about border

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took aim at Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas during a visit to the U. S.-Mexico border on Thursday, fueling an argument that could help lay the groundwork for a potential impeachment.

“This has got to stop. And it starts with the Secretary of Homeland. Stop lying to the American public. Tell them the truth what’s happening, and change back the regulation that we had before so our border can be secure,” McCarthy said in a press conference from Cochise County, Ariz., with the border fence in the background.

McCarthy did not specify what he thought Mayorkas lied about, but Republicans have repeatedly dinged him for testifying in a congressional hearing last year that the border is secure.

The issue of whether there is “operational control” at the border is central to the argument from hard-line conservative House Republicans that Mayorkas should be impeached.

That term refers to the Secure Fence Act of 2006, a law that says operational control of the border means prevention “of all unlawful entries” to the United States.

McCarthy has not endorsed impeaching Mayorkas, but in November called on him to resign, saying that House GOP investigations will determine whether they can open an impeachment inquiry.
