bozman, I thought your link deserved to be shown in full.






People ask "what can I do ?"

One thing I have been doing is writing every REP senator and telling them McConnell cannot be the Minority Leader or the REP party will be severely damaged.

"every REP senator"

I criticize McConnell for his statements about blaming Trump for 6 Jan 2021.

My message is "It is not McConnell's REP Party", it is "Trump's REP Party"

Will it be effective ? Don't know. But I will keep trying.

Well stated letter by President Trump. A leader like President Regean who really cared about the country and its people!

Again, a true privilege to have experienced both in my life time. And President Trump is not done.

BTW - there is a former President who lost re-election only to win it again 4 years later. So there is historical precedent!

Well stated letter by President Trump.

President Trump Releases Statement on Senator Mitch McConnell: “Mitch is a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack”

President Trump appears to have triggered the Big Ugly, the confrontation against the DeceptiCon wing of the Uniparty, with a full-throated rebuke of Senator Mitch McConnell.

This statement from President Donald Trump is a good indicator of what lies ahead.

War it is then!… Giddy up.

REMINDER – […] Several DeceptiCon senators have already announced they will not run for re-election in 2020 [Shelby, Toomey, Burr, Portman and Johnson]. In the 2022 Senate races there are 34 seats up for grabs. 14 are held by Democrats and 20 are held by tenuous Republicans. [Breakdown Here] Due to vulnerability, their lack of support amid the republican base, and their insufferable 2020 behavior outing them as DeceptiCons it is almost guaranteed the GOP will lose seats in the 2022 mid-term election. Those exiting senators, among others, know what McConnell’s objective is. They also know this time the damage is far greater than previous times McConnell set about to destroy the base of the party.

Most casual political observers have absolutely no idea how McConnell works. However, for over a decade CTH has been trying –mostly failing– to awaken the base of common sense voters. In 2010, 2011 and 2012 the #1 priority for McConnell was to destroy the threat represented by the Tea Party. In 2022 we are seeing an exact replay of the same intents and purposes, only this time the target is President Trump’s MAGA movement.

It is a motive and agenda all wrapped up in the senate power structure. McConnell does not fear being in the minority; the color of the flag atop the spire of the UniParty senate does not matter to those underneath it. McConnell maneuvers with just as much power in the minority as he does in the majority; factually, he makes more money selling his DeceptiCon caucus votes to Chuck Schumer (on behalf of Wall Street) than he does in the majority where he is forced to purchase them. The entire thing is a rigged-game.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Although I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated DJT's performance as our President, I truly believe he can be just as effective in promoting a better America (and perhaps more) outside of Washington. Time will tell.

We will need President Trump in the WH to clean up the mess that Biden is causing, he is sinking the economy, turning his back on friends, embracing enemies. I don’t trust any politician to fix that, they will only screw it up. Trump is a proven leader, who understands what America is, and where it should be in the world.

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) weighed in on the spat between former President Donald Trump and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Despite some in the GOP distancing themselves from Trump now that he is out of office, Scott emphasized the need for more of Trump’s policies for a better economy. He added that with how the media covers Trump, he is still “the most powerful political figure on either side .”

“The truth is for the Republican Party to win, we need every single Republican-leaning voter to take a look at the GOP — the great opportunity party and why we have the right principles and policies to move this nation forward. If we get into personality [squabbles] and fights, we are going to be in a challenging place in 2022 and 2024, which means America will be embracing socialism because we can’t get our act together on the right.”

Host Bill Hemmer asked, “How much do you need President Trump in 2022?”

“I still believe that President Trump is the most powerful political figure on either side,” Scott replied.

“What we need is more President Trump policies that focused on an inclusive economy, focused on HBCU funding, focused on the lowest tax rates we’ve seen in a generation that led to the fastest increase in employment and in wages at the bottom faster than the top because President Trump’s policy positions literally transformed the American economy. That is what’s at stake in the future. Do we want a private sector driven by economic mobility and opportunity, or do we want a private sector driven by socialism and control from Washington, D.C.?”

hope McConnell reads that

Lindsey Graham:

But what I would say to Senator McConnell: I know that Trump can be a handful, but he is the most dominant figure in the Republican Party. We don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of taking the majority without Donald Trump. If you don’t get that, you’re just not looking. He was a hell of a president on all of the things that conservatives really believe in. It was a consequential presidency.”

Graham also said: And to President Trump, you are going to have to make some changes for you to reach your potential.

reach his potential ? that part is BS, but Graham knows the REP party has to make room for Donald Trump

I still not convinced that the republican party as it stands today has any hope of ever getting back into power.

ALL of them have demonstrated that they hold conservative Americans in contempt

The ONLY path I see forward is to get rid of everyone and start over - none of them have the slightest interest in making room for President Trump

Anyone who thinks the republicans are salvageable need only look at their behavior immediately after the election. Even today, Maricopa Co is still stonewalling an investigation into the election. Why? Perhaps because it may show their treasonous behavior and election fraud?

To me, the solution is a lot of rope for these vermin

The Republican party needs Trump. Trump does not need them and Graham knows it. Graham cannot be trusted anymore than Niki Haley or most of the others.

I donated to the RNC in the past. Now I keep getting solicitations for money for the RNC by email and USPS mail. I have started writing a note on the donation forms that they will not receive one red cent from me until I have seen they have disciplined those who turned on Trump in in the impeachment trial. Mid-term elections are all about the $$ to the party, and if we want to get their attention we need to refuse to give them the money. The party needs self discipline and solidarity and right now the party is a divided mess. Kick those perfidious bastards who turned on Trump to the curb and show some leadership with cajones before I give them another penny.

Maybe so, but at least Graham has the sense to know which side his bread's buttered on, which is more than can be said for most of the rest of the GOP.

Graham is an opportunistic douche bag whose opinions and stances depend on where he feels he needs to be at that moment. A true politician.

From the article:

House Democrats have introduced a bill to ban former U.S. presidents who have been "twice impeached" from burial in Arlington National Cemetery in a move that would, at the present, only apply to former President Donald Trump.

Introduced in late January, H.R. 484, dubbed the "No Glory for Hate Act," would "prohibit the use of Federal funds for the commemoration of certain former Presidents," namely those that have faced impeachment proceedings from the House on two separate occasions. The bill would also restrict the use of government funding to "create or display any symbol, monument, or statue commemorating" a twice-impeached president, and it would bar the naming or redesignation of any federal building or land after commander In chiefs in question.



These people are absolutely demented. I've never seen this level of hate and vitriol towards any president. bush jr, in retrospect, got off VERY lightly. . .

I thought about a separate thread.... but Obiden's appointees, including his SecDef, are absolute travesties.

I'm just glad I was able to serve with patriots predominantly and got out when I did. Saw some real incompetent officer jackwads being promoted as writing on the wall even in my day.

Reading through the “documents” section on defense.gov is enough to make any veteran scream. The crap being foisted on the military appears to make obvious that effective war fighting is the least important objective.

The new SecDef is a real peach. One of these days we’re going to get our ass kicked and we’ll deserve it.
