So George Bush
Mitt Romney
John McCain
Carly Fiorina
George Will
John Kasich
Adam KinInger
Liz Cheney
Are now considered “RINOs”.
And their leading candidate is a corrupt, sexual predator, disgraced twice impeached Trump.
Tells you everything you need to about today’s GOP.

Bannon calls Pence a stone cold coward: “I can’t take Pence & all these guys up there ratting out Trump on Capitol Hill right now”
He said the quiet part out loud. You can’t “rat out” an innocent person
Trump, Bannon & their terrorist gang are guilty as hell & they all know it

On ABC, Chris Christie dismisses the RNC as Trump stooges: "This is just a majority of 168 people. And the RNC, most of those folks were put into place... by Donald Trump... Certainly, Ronna Romney McDaniel is carrying water for Donald Trump... Let's not make it bigger than it is."
Christie sides with Pence, against Trump, on the facts of 1/6: "Jan. 6 was a riot that was incited by Donald Trump in an effort to intimidate Mike Pence and the Congress into doing exactly what he said in his own words last week: overturn the election."

If you wanna know why the Republican Party cannot be saved, don’t listen to a crazy like Marjorie Taylor Greene, all you need to do is listen to a coward like Marco Rubio.

first of all, rubies dancing there was embarrassing.
the gop can’t be saved? what just happened in VA and NJ?
Pete, here’s what every single one of you does. and i mean every single liberal here.
when you talk about the gop, all you ever do, is post examples of them doing bad things ( and there are a lot of examples). You ignore everything good, and desperately try to convince yourself that the bad stuff is all there is.
when you talk about democrats. al you ever do is post examples of them doing good things ( and there are plenty of examples). You ignore everything bad, and desperately try to convince yourself that the good stuff is all there is.
When you compare the two sides, and all you do is compare the gop failures to the democrats successes,,obviously that comparison makes the democrats look superior.
But is that a meaningful comparison?
Remember your comment that the gop cannot be saved, this. November.
Why can’t you admit the gop does some things well, and that democrats do some things poorly? what are you afraid will happen if you said that out loud?

From the National review: “The action of the mob on Jan 6 was#^&an indefensible disgrace. It is deserving of both#^&political accountability#^&and criminal prosecution. It is wrong to minimize or excuse what happened that day.”

Agreed. It's also wrong to fantastically exaggerate what happened that day. Wrong to charge them for crimes they didn't commit.
And it's wrong to assign blame, to tens of millions of registered republicans.
No one ever said the entire democratic party was responsible for the violent, feral anarchy during the summer of 2020. The rioters are responsible, no one else. |

Wonder what’s happening in Virginia
Youngkin’s team attacked a 17 year old activist for holding him accountable
The same Youngkin attacked the media simply for asking why his 17 year old son tried to vote illegally for him TWICE
Nepotism: one set of his rules for his own son and throwing everyone else to the dogs

Glenn Youngkin launched a tip line that allows parents to report any educators teaching “divisive” subjects, like critical race theory, in Virginia schools. It's been a disaster.

so you are saying parents in those 7 districts in the lawsuit out of 133 districts in VA are still able to mask their children and send them to school if they want to? |

The Virginia Senate voted 29–9 on Tuesday to approve an amendment that would make masking optional in schools regardless of rules adopted by local school boards.
State Senator Chap Peterson, a Democrat, proposed the rule on the Senate floor on Tuesday as an amendment to a bill from state Senator Siobhan Dunnavant, a Republican, that would require school boards to permanently offer in-person instruction.
Petersen’s floor amendment would allow any parent with a child enrolled in public school or any school-based early childhood-care program to send their child to class without a mask “notwithstanding any other provision of law or any regulation, rule, or policy implemented by a school board, school division, school official, or other state or local authority.”
The bipartisan vote comes as Governor Glenn Youngkin has faced legal challenges to his executive order making masking optional in schools. |

Scoop: National Archives last month had to retrieve boxes of Trump WH records from Mar-a-Lago that were improperly removed from the WH. The items included correspondence w Kim Jong Un.
I know I speak for all of you when I express my complete shock and utter incredulity at the suggestion that our fastidiously conscientious and incorruptibly virtuous former president could possibly have committed even the slightest infringement of the Presidential Records Act.

Paul, can 2 things be true and matter at the same time?
Should someone who wants to be governor of GA, obey the mask mandates in place in GA?
Abrams, very much in Trump-like fashion, attacked her critics on this. She couldn’t just say she made a mistake and she’ll try to do better. Nope. She went into a tirade against those who dared to question her.

Big deal if one time, somewhere, someone forgot to put on their mask or took it off too soon or if the person taking the photo used a telephoto lens and made it appear they are standing close to someone else.
We have evidence that Trump and his minions tried to steal an election yet you'll continue to post pictures about someone, somewhere w/o a mask on as if that is the most important thing in the news. |

you’re right, if it was one person one time, who cares. but there’s a clear, obvious pattern of elected democrats violating the mandates they advocate for.
No big deal, character flaws is mine for expecting them to maybe lead by example.
I don’t disagree with you that trump tried to overturn the election.
again, i’m almost certain that two things can be true at the same time. Trump at least considered some very ugly things, and elected democrats are being regularly hypocritical with masks.
not sure why it’s one or the other.

Did you really, seriously, type that? You're saying that with a straight face.
OK, maybe Trump never said any of those boorish things we claim he said, maybe a very talented ventriloquist just made it seem like he said those things. I mean, since you're being silly, I figured I'd join in the fun...
Zoom lens? You don't exactly need the Hubble telescope to take pictures of Stacey Abrams.
Paul has jumped the shark. |
