Decline of the GOP episode XIII

[twofbyc]

Again, Trump never changed. 30 years ago, press wasn’t clamoring to do a story on him every day, so many never got the chance to see the scumbag he is. But if anyone had cared to do a deep dive in 2015 (as they should have), they would have seen who and what he is; what is happening now is no surprise to anyone who did their homework. Shouldn’t have been “with” him to begin with; Hillary absolutely could not have been worse, as much as I despise her.
Some just chose to vote against a Democrat rather than voting for America; Trump could never have been mistaken for a patriot.

James Woods: If this young hero hadn't been in a school that actually taught the knowledge of science and history and geography, hundreds more would have died. How sad is our current educational system, that only seems interested in pushing insane leftist narratives?

James Woods is a liar and/or an idiot.

The great question is what comes first blue hair or progressive activism? By progressive activism I mean blocking roads, gluing your hand to a floor, and supporting terrorists in the Middle East. Don’t forget yelling in people’s faces and calling anyone that doesn’t agree with you a facist. I wonder how many blue haired people post on this board. I’m guessing at least 3.

Heck, I've been accused of that in this forum.

We had a reg back in the days of Bush's invasion of Iraq who said that I supported the coddling of terrorists and wishing that his infant son would be killed by terrorists because I dared to question why we needed to invade Iraq in the 1st place.

The Supporting-Terrorists meme is an old pearl-clutch of right-wingers whenever they don't have a real argument.

it was a regular occurrence back in the day, but we are hearing ronco's greatest hits a lot these days

Was looking for the “2024 election” thread but couldn’t find it. So I’ll drop this here.
I’m detecting a subtle undercurrent of disingenuous behavior regarding him - there’s no way he draws hardly any support from Biden.
Even Never Trumper conservatives don’t believe this.

The independent presidential candidate said if elected he would appoint a nonpartisan special counsel to 'right any wrongs.'

But Kennedy said that, while he had not personally examined the evidence, “reasonable people, including Trump opponents,” suggested there was little evidence of a true insurrection.

So, like him, those people are ignorant (or they may be just incalcitrant to facts).

Let's get into the weeds a little.

Yeah...no...reasonable is not a good description.

The entire point of the "rally" to "Stop the steal" was to get the folks riled up to go and "stop the steal" (from their warped perspective), which is to say...interfere with the certification of the election through violent entry and intimidation. By definition, this is insurrection, so arguing that it isn't what it actually is makes no sense and cannot be considered reasonable.

Part and parcel of why I do not believe, for a second, that Kennedy poses a danger to Biden, as far as siphoning off voters. Everyone who buys into his hocum is a Trump voter - or would be if Kennedy wasn’t running.
Nor do I believe, at this juncture, there’s any way Biden loses this election.

Marjorie Taylor Greene once again does Putin’s bidding:
“This is a war on Christianity. The Ukrainian government is attacking Christians...Russia is not doing that. They are not attacking Christianity. As a matter of fact, they seem to be protecting it.”

 

[92tide]

a very large majority of one of our nation's two political parties is brazenly doing russia's bidding

and a lot of people are willingly going along with it

It’s been a real eye-opener to see how easily American politicians are tricked into doing Putin’s bidding. And how many are on board with it.

And if anyone had a molecule of patriotism in their bodies, they would not only understand my angry posts, but would likely be posting in a similar fashion. I’m sorry - not standing up to Putin is either cowardice or treason, take your pick. Putin unchecked is Hitler on steroids - a vile human who will stop at nothing to silence his critics and kill anyone who disagrees with him. The Repugnican Presidential nominee has already been doing the former and would gladly do the latter if given the power. Megalomaniacs should be made extinct; problem is, too many people admire them, and want to be just like them. That’s what’s sad.

I would recommend you following Steve Schmidt's -The Warning videos on YouTube. He hits the mark regarding Trump. Many people don't respect Schmidt but he is one of the few individuals known nationally who is sounding the alarm! I did not post his latest because there are occassionaly colorful language utilized at times.

Q: The Arizona Supreme Court upholds a near total abortion ban, do you have a thought on that? GOP
Sen. Rick Scott: That's what's going to happen as a result of the overturning of Roe. I'm pro-life. This is exactly what ought to be happening

Blabbermouth Scott is his own worst enemy.

I've scarcely ever seen such arrogance - and you wonder why all don't echo you...

"And if anyone had a molecule of patriotism in their bodies, they would not only understand my angry posts, but would likely be posting in a similar fashion."

Well, I was born decades before you and spent every night during WWII on my knees with my family around our parents' bed, praying for the safe return of my two brothers in the AAF. I understand patriotism in a way forever denied to you. If you read my earlier warnings, you would understand this is a very borderline, alienating post. It appears that understanding is forever denied to you also. Now, don't answer this post publicly, upon pain of instant suspension. I will be in contact with you via PM later...

To summarize everything Woods has ever twittered - “get off my lawn!”
