“He said Republican politicians would be easy to break. He was right.”
“The Democratic party demonstrated for the second straight election cycle that it remains a healthy organ of democracy. And it’s a damn lucky thing it is, because it is arrayed against a party that celebrates violence, marinates in lies, and worships an insurrectionist.”
So Funny!
This is me:
A great example:
Frank Luntz tells us a story,
This tweet is not aging well GOP (I took a screenshot in case they delete it)
Sidney Powell, Donald Trump, and others, are about to go through some things,
“This notion of impeachment expungement is so laughable that it’s easy to chuckle and guffaw past what’s so serious about it. The biggest threat to our democracy, in my view, is the fact that we no longer agree on even the most basic facts. If some of us believe it’s raining right now and others believe it’s a sunny day, how can we possibly come to the right decision on whether to invest in umbrellas or sunscreen?”
For the record, expunging a presidential impeachment is not a thing. It has never been attempted because it makes no sense. Both of Trump’s House impeachments led to trials in the Senate, as the Constitution instructs. Is the Senate supposed to pretend that those trials, which ended in acquittals, never happened? What about the pages in the Congressional Record that chronicle the impeachment proceedings? Would they be ripped out and destroyed? Sent to Mar-a-Lago for Trump to hoard in one of his cardboard boxes, with his golf shirts and his newspaper clippings?
Sad,
Sad,
I made a new page for this,
With Trump Indicted (and probably more to come) my question has always been how could any good Republican have ever supported a man a lot of us have known for years has no morals or ethics?
“Can the GOP stop an indicted ex-president?”
“Many prominent Republicans want Trump gone. But they are caught in a trap of their own bad faith: They want prosecutors to do for them the job they are too scared and broken to do for themselves. But they also, for their own crass political advantage, want to pretend to be on Trump’s side during the prosecution—while inwardly cheering on the prosecutors.
Bad faith is a coward’s method, and these bad-faith Republicans are earning the coward’s reward. They hope that the legal system will rescue them from their own humiliating submission, but they are acting to deliver the Republican nomination to Trump for a third time. If Trump does win the nomination, they’ll submit again.”
Herschel Walker and Situational Ethics
A lot of Real Republicans feel like I do:
Sad:
“Kelli Ward, chairwoman of the Arizona GOP, announced the condemnation by the panel on Twitter, saying Bowers is “no longer a Republican in good standing & we call on Republicans to replace him at the ballot box in the August primary.””
I want my GOP back!
“Far-right candidates are surging in House races across the map: Republican leaders increasingly fear that a red wave will wash in a raft of conspiracy theorists and extremists.”
Sad:
Sad:
Paul Gosar
“Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) attempted to make Tuesday night’s State of the Union address all about herself—only to get booed by her colleagues as President Joe Biden solemnly talked about his son dying of cancer and military veterans suffering from burn pit exposure.”
“The best way to understand a controversial new resolution from the Republican National Committee censuring Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger is not, as some people have suggested, to legitimize the January 6 attack on the Capitol, but as something more primal: Trump service. The resolution hardly changes a thing—the two lawmakers are already personae non gratae in the party—but it seems designed to pacify the angry ochre god-king and his acolytes.”
The GOP Died on January 31st, 2020
On February 3rd, 2022, the GOP confirmed its death
“CNN’s Jim Acosta says the Republican Party is now the “Trump-owned party” and that there’s no place for telling the truth.”
2015:
January 6, 2021
Now,
Sad
More Sad,
This idiot is a great example of why I left the GOP in 2016,
HBO’s “Newsroom”‘s Will McAvoy nailed it!
Brianna Keilar is our Will McAvoy
“CNN’s Brianna Keilar looks back at Nikki Haley’s shifting political positions as the former South Carolina governor and ambassador to the UN increases her support for former President Trump.”
“They’re discrediting worthy conservative ideas.”
There seems to be no LOW that is TOO LOW for what used to be my GOP now
Montesquieu and Madison are asking this same question:
The Party of Lincoln has become the Party of George Wallace
Georgia:
I hope what used to be my GOP gets crushed in 2020 so they will realize surrounding themselves with the TPUSAs and Charlie Kirks and Dinesh D’Souzas is terrible and supporting Donald Trump destroyed what used to be the Grand Ole Party – it went from the Party of Lincoln to the Know-Nothing Party of the 21st Century, a party Strom Thurmond and George Wallace would love to join.
“Wallace never won the presidency, but the base he mobilized has found a home in today’s Republican Party.”

“Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration, will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance, can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this.“

Right now Trump is trying to hide his taxes and his costs for travel and golf. What ELSE is he hiding? Years from now YOUR words, deeds, actions and VOTES will be primary sources for people to learn where YOU stood on Trump once ALL of the facts on Trump are known.

“How the former alt-right fringe became the mainstream of the GOP.“
https://thebulwark.com/the-new-republican-establishment/
“Never in the history of this country have we had such gross unfairness that one party would put armed guards with guns to prevent the duly authorized people from being able to hear the witnesses and see them for themselves,” Gohmert said, after a House vote advancing the impeachment inquiry into the president.
https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/texas-rep-louie-gohmert-gets-all-civil-war-over-impeachment-11796418
“They want it to be a one-sided, non-due process sham court. It’s about to push this country to a civil war if they were to get their wishes, and if there was one thing I don’t want to see in my lifetime, I don’t want to ever have participation in, it’s a civil war. Some historian — I don’t remember who — said, ‘Guns are only involved in the last phase of a civil war.’ What’s gone on here is not protecting the Constitution. It’s not protecting the institutions, it’s not protecting this little experiment in self-government, no. What it has done is put it all at risk.”

I grew up with a Papa that fought in World War I under Black Jack Pershing. He was a huge St. Louis Cardinals fan because KMOX came in crystal clear at night on the front porch. He was a George Wallace supporter and life-long Democrat. I loved my Papa. To be different, I became a lifelong Cubs fan and Republican. The first election I could vote in, I voted for Ronald Reagan for president. I have been a candidate in a GOP primary and a graduate of a GOP candidate school, with Rich Galen as one of my instructors. He is such a great teacher our campaign did something rarely done, we received more votes than dollars spent! We lost 4386 to 1994. 31% of the vote on $1,535 budget compared to opponent’s $100,000 or so he spent in our primary race. I put a limit of $50 per donor on my campaign.

The current leadership of the GOP, from Ronna McDaniel to Mitch McConnell to Kevin McCarthy are leaving a legacy that will permanently tarnish the Grand Ole Party for years to come. Every @gop tweet supporting Donald Trump is creating a primary source for future historians and textbooks. WHY? This tweet is a great example of what the Real Problem Is:
The Real Problem? Citizens United v FEC and Leadership PACs. MONEY. Donors are more important than principles now. Winning TRUMPS ethics. I am trying to document this:

The reason this impeachment is so partisan is MONEY. This is the First Impeachment process since Citizens United v FEC and Leadership PACs.
Citizens United?
Leadership PACs? (This video might make you mad?)
MONEY is more important than LEADERSHIP now (Some dirty words, HBO)
Constituents are not as important as Donors now. Truth has taken a backseat to lies, from Trump’s to the GOP’s. I grew up with a GOP of principled people, the Howard Bakers… Now GOP just blatantly lies, lies like this:
The House Democrats Passed “Widows Tax Repeal”
Senate GOP ?

Veterans?
Stop The Lies!
Stop The Lies GOP!
Trump has always been a conman, a crook, a thief, a bigot and a pathological liar. I was planning on running my 2020 campaign as a pure positive one, never mentioning my Democrat or Republican opponent, but when Trump went with “back where they came from…” I realized that was not possible. Trump is destroying the civility and morales of MY country!
https://limbaugh2020.com/i-was-going-to-run-a-positive-campaign-but-now-i-cant/
I have now created several pages documenting Trump’s raw ugliness, total lack of any thought of others or principles or even grounded beliefs.

I told my friends in 2016 when Kasich and Cruz dropped out that Trump was going to barely win because of three small but energized camps:
Combined with our nation’s apathy
The GOP keeps touting Trump’s success but Obama was better in every measurable positive metric, from new jobs created (Obama’s last 34 months far better than Trump’s first 34 months)
Obama’s Last 34 months 226.7
Trump’s First 34 months 191.2
All Employees: Manufacturing in Pennsylvania (PAMFG)
Unemployment?
White 7.1 4.3 (-2.8) vs 4.3 3.5 (-0.8)
Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey
Black 12.7 7.7 (-5.0) vs 7.7 5.4 (-2.3)
Asian 6.1 3.7 (-2.4) vs 3.7 2.9 (-0.8)
Hispanic 10.1 5.8 (-4.3) vs 5.8 4.1 (-1.7)
Stock Market?
Dow Jones Since January 26, 2018? Under Obama?
And what about these 9 Trump Campaign Promises?
Drain the Swamp was a Mantra created when the “Bus” video came out to change the narrative.

And we need to address the Elephant In the Room!
I grew up in Alabama in the 1960s in with a Papa that was a George Wallace supporter. I grew up around Racism and Bigotry. My papa was born in 1895. He admitted his racism and bigotry was wrong in 1972, at 77 years of age.
Why? Mark Twain said it best:
Papa saw me playing baseball with my black friends in 1972. He didn’t see that in 1971.
I need to write a book one day:
There is not a lot of diversity in the White House or GOP these days. The Party of Lincoln seems to have become the Party of George Wallace!
