The GOP needs to go

Vote them out?

It is sort of a paradox that about 89 percent of voters want congressional term limits...one of the few things Dems and Repubs agree on; yet these same 89 percent of voters keep voting incumbents back in office...then complain about term limits again.

This is a fantastic point. It seems like most people think their rep is great and the other idiots in Congress are the issue.

No, for the most part, your rep sucks. There are maybe a dozen to 20 members of Congress that do not suck.
 
If you think that only a conservative can be patriotic then you are just a plain moron. Teddy Roosevelt was a patriot and the founder of the progressive movement. That movement is responsible for many of the rights , programs and benefits that we all, even you take for granted today . As a progressive patriot, I want MY COUNTRY to be the bet that it can be for all people The same cannot be said for conservatives, especially the MAGA morons


So is yours
 

We’ve all become accustomed to a Republican Party that sides with its dumbest, laziest enemies. Maybe we should consider not doing that any more.​



We’re on the road to Ripon — or at least we need to be.
In 1854, appalled by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Whig Party’s endless appetite for compromise with slavery and the Democratic Party, a group of activists met at a schoolhouse in Ripon, Wisconsin, to form a new political party that would actually stand for something. The new Republican Party ran its first presidential candidate, the explorer and army officer John C. Fremont, in 1856 under the slogan, "Free speech, free press, free men, free labor, free territory, and Fremont."
We're there again. The Republican Party is useless to the point of insult, a capitulationist entity that exists to overspend borrowed money and agree with Democrats, or at least not disagree with them too much.
We keep chasing out the elected officials who make it too obvious. But every effort to replace an Adam Kinzinger or a Liz Cheney just leads to the emergence of a new zombie who steps forward to take their places.


As we sail past $34 trillion in federal debt, heading inexorably to $50 trillion and watching the endless denunciation of “extremists” who propose to apply a little light medicine to the metastasizing cancer of federal spending, we need to consider the possibility that the party can't be saved. It should be replaced.

I can't argue. As much as the Left says they fear Mike Johnson as Speaker, I think deep down they know he is just an ongoing joke in a long line of bad jokes in the GOP.

There is no real opposition to the DNC.
I guess we should be thankful democrats decided to clean up San Francisco for the Commies. Too bad democrats don't respect or care as much for the voters. Fucking nasty trash.
 
I can support anything you goddamn dumbass, doesn't mean it'll happen

You're fuckin annoying. I can support you choking on a dick but... well it might happen

There's no reason term limits are not in place, absolutely none
You honestly believe that a Congress would vote for a constitutional amendment to limit their own terms of office. Are you that ignorant of reality?
 
The FBI showed up with an arrest warrant at the home of the desultory bear-sprayer Gregory Yetman two years, 10 months, and three days after his alleged crime. The FBI and the Justice Department will not stop making new January 6 cases. They are committed to keeping the January 6 story front and center in the national narrative. They’re putting on a political show for the upcoming presidential elections, and we all know it.

Nationally, the party we have has no value and not much potential for developing any. We can do better, or our children are in deep trouble.

Meanwhile, a throng of Hamas supporters descended on the White House last week, climbing security fences and vandalizing the property. (See pictures of the damage here.) Like the Antifa and Black Lives Matter mobs that burned American cities in the summer of 2020, the people who blocked access to the White House and aggressively destroyed property around it last week needn’t worry that Attorney General Merrick Garland will consider them a significant target for prosecution. FBI raids are for the political right. The FBI is the sword and the shield of the Democratic Party, when it isn’t on loan to Planned Parenthood. The politicization of federal law enforcement is many things, but subtle is not one of them.

The Republican response to all of this was to block an effort by “extremist” members of the House GOP caucus, who tried to take away funding from the FBI’s planned new headquarters in Maryland. Seventy House Republicans voted to make sure the FBI gets its new building so that the agency has plenty of room to go on criminalizing conservative politics and opposition to abortion.

Or consider the effort of U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) to defund a federal mandate for every new car sold in the United States in a few years to come with a "kill switch" allowing remote shutdowns. Again, that effort failed in a Republican-majority House, with Republican votes.

At the mostly pointless Republican presidential debate that I didn't watch on Wednesday, candidate Vivek Ramaswamy opened with a blast at the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel — who chose dismal "mainstream" news anchors, mindless promoters of the pathetic Russia dossier hoax, to serve as the moderators for a conservative debate. It was the most obvious point that could possibly have been made, but no one else made it, and a good number of Republican grandees postured as having been offended by the argument.

We’ve all become accustomed to a Republican Party that sides with its dumbest, laziest enemies. We should consider not doing that any more, yes? So that maybe one major political party in the United States reliably represents views that are actually in the mainstream all over the country? Political parties are enshrined nowhere. They aren’t mentioned in the Constitution, and they aren't inevitable. There is no reason we cannot dispose of them when they stop working.

In state legislatures, Republicans still have elected officials who will fight for something, as red-state child mutilation bans have shown. Some of them can be part of the foundation of a new party. Nationally, the party we have has no value and not much potential for developing any. We can do better, or our children are in deep trouble.

I'll consider, as an alternative, a plan to save the Republican Party. But we’re running out of time.
are you really saying that is ok to use bear spray on cops? because it is not. violators should be punished no matter how long it takes to drag this trash from their holes.

proud boys and such like prison, it is a good place to recruit the psychologically needy and the only place your incels can find love.

If you attack police you can be shot dead

The only time Democrats understand this, however, is at the Capital.

The only time trumpers don't understand this is when they are deflecting from seditious conspiracy.

I never said the police officer than shot the unarmed woman at the Capital was wrong for what he did.

My only critique is that the situation was handled differently than any other police shooting.

1. The policeman's name was not made public, so that he and his family did not get death threats.

2. There was no investigation.

3. The media declared him a hero and not systemically racist/sexist, etc.

Hypocrisy much?

Why? She was a traitor in a group hunting politicians.

Why would he get death threats? Trumpers don't do that type of stuff.

2. There was no investigation.

You mean this investigation?

3. The media declared him a hero and not systemically racist/sexist, etc.

Hypocrisy much?
Why would shooting a traitor hunting politicians be declared a racist sexist etc?
