Yet another reason why I’m not a Republican.

“How do we make the GOP afraid of us? We the people have to do something. The only thing I can think of at the moment is to resign from the party.”

It’s too bad I already have, back when Boehner was re-elected speaker. I guess I could join, just to resign.

But the people of those states keep sending them back.

Not me. I've never voted for Toomey. Never will.

This article comes from the Washington Post, which lies to your face with intent and malice.

More likely the Republicans looked at the dwindling American population and realized they’d rule over nobody if current trends persist; both parties are participating in The Great Replacement.

Anyone who stands against President Trump is someone I’ll hate, and we need to let them know they are the enemy.

I was thinking the same thing yesterday. But how do we do that? They’ve probably made it illegal to call them and say rude things - besides, if you piss them off enough they might go Roger Stone on you. They’re drunk with their corrupt power (or just drunk), and they see the most powerful President I can remember and dismiss him as inconsequential because they believe that THEY’RE running the show (and maybe they’re right).

Granted, a few of most obscene dirtbags have been chipped off the deep state block, but that seems to be about 1% of the total. Maybe President Trump needs to exert what authority the Congress and RAT judges allow him and just start firing people.

The USA needs more free trade. Protectionists are grossly ignorant when it comes to economics.

I saw Thune recently on Varney.

He looked like someone’s grandpa, face all screwed up, wringing hands, mealy mouthed.

I thought he was a STRONG guy. Turns out he is a wimp!

What? We’re they demoted? Not that they shouldn’t be. But these in the article are house representatives.

We voted for Donald Trump to be President, not because he is Republican, but for his promises to Americans and his vision of making America great again.

Exactly. The duplicity required to become a professional politician suits the DemLeft's character more than that of the traditional R's. America has grown weary of voting into the WH those who have merely become professional politicians.

It now clearly recognizes it faces existential threats and wants to be represented by someone with a record of getting things done; one who can MAGA, particularly when faced with well-dressed but obvious domestic enemies.

And yet these pukes keep getting re-elected. Which speaks volumes about the rank and file.


It is common to hear reports how people “love” their congressman but hates Congress.

Also we often hear stories about a person getting elected based on their promises to do what the voters want yet when push comes to shove, the newly minted congress critter goes against the voters wishes.

How come this always seems the case?

I wondered about this myself until I realized we are being played for suckers in the greatest con ever ran in the world.

The game is rigged. There is only one party with two faces.

How can this be? Simple. They know not every voter believes in the same thing but they do understand that groups of voters may believe the same thing. So first they invented “gerrymandering” to create districts that contain voters that share similar views.

The next is the old bait and switch. They (the powers that be) select and groom candidates to match the district they are to run in. It does not matter what the personal views or agenda of the candidates is, they will be taught how to do and say the right thing to please the voters. When elected the candidate will vote the way they are told or at minimum they will be cut off of future support at worse some skeleton in their closet will be leaked to the friendly press.

On issues that don’t matter the candidate is free to vote anyway they want, but on critical issues they MUST vote the way they are told. This explains why on controversial issues (that the voters oppose) it is very close, and sometimes a candidate must go against their stated views to vote the way they are instructed. (Look how Obamacare was passed)

On the national level individuals do not matter, it is a numbers game. The system is rigged so that the majority party can set the rules.

What needs to be understood is that there is a power higher than congress that is directed our nation. Those in office get the money and the perks but they are not making the decisions.

This explains why they want to destroy President Trump, he is not one of them, and they have no control over him.

Some have written we are heading towards a Civil War but I think we are heading more towards THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.
