Republicans

I have to say that I agree with what I recently heard a politician say. I wish I could remember who said it or find the video. What he said was essentially “the Republicans need to stop worrying about election fraud. No matter the fraud or absence of fraud, the Republicans won the last election. They now run the House, the Senate, the Presidency, AND the Supreme Court. What have they done with all of that power? Not much. Not nearly enough.”

To an extent, he is correct. I mean, Trump started a war in Iran with no clear objective and no end in sight. The Iranians are looking to keep the war going until at least November, so they can be the spoiler in that election. The Republicans managed to get rid of Roe, and are making serious inroads into getting rid of many gun control laws, but that is a function of SCOTUS and is fallout from the 2016 election. The result of the most recent 2024 election is somewhere between Jack and Shit, which is what the Republicans have managed to do so far.

If there aren’t some serious changes in the next couple of years, I think I am going to sit out most of the next election. I will vote in local and some state races, but I don’t think I can hold my nose and vote for the stupid do-nothing party. I can’t vote for a communist, Democrat, but that doesn’t mean I have to vote for a Republican who isn’t going to do anything but line his own pockets, either.

Why is it that the left can make so much progress on their agenda when they are in power, but the Republicans can’t seem to do anything? It’s almost like their stated agenda is just something they say so they can gain power, but we all know that would never be true. /sarc

with the death of Lindsey Graham and what appears to be the death of Mitch McConnell, the Republican Old Guard’s grip on the Senate just took an interesting turn.

Both of them were Republicans, but also were anti-Trumpers.

Interesting developments, for sure. Now I will wait for the inevitable responses of Israel did it in 3,2,1…

11 Republicans have joined Democrats in an Amnesty Bill for illegal immigrants, called the “Dignity Act of 2025.” It offers 7-year, renewable legal status with work authorization to illegal immigrants who pay $7,000 in restitution. In other words, amnesty. Give it a few years, and illegals will have full voting rights, and you as a taxpayer will be funding it forever.

Donald Trump was voted into office on one major platform- curbing illegal immigration. In response, Republicans are doing what they have always done in response to gun control: They pay lip service to a voting bloc, whether that bloc is gun owners or those opposing illegal immigration, get elected on that platform, then as soon as it becomes politically convenient to do so, turn their backs on those groups who elected them.

My prediction is this: If this bill gets passed, it is the end of the MAGA movement. Those who voted for its promises will disengage, myself included. There is no point in electing Republicans, if those Republicans will simply vote for the exact same things as Democrats. The result is the same, the only difference is who gets to cash in on sweet taxpayer graft.

Let this pass, and I won’t vote in another election. Not ever.

One thing I admire about Democrats is their cohesion. They stick together and follow the party line no matter what. Say what you want about them, they stay the course. Even though I disagree with them on nearly every point, they at least stick to their misguided principles.

Not so the stupid party, the Republicans. Proving that the Republicans will go back to their default state, selling out their voters, they are already caving and funding more Obamacare subsidies.

If you want to know why Republican politicians are wishy washy RINOs, read this article and see for yourself. (No, I am not endorsing anyone.)

Note that the frontrunner is a candidate that is saying Republicans need to do more to appeal to black Democrats.

This is where RINOs come from.

A settlement in Florida proves to me that Ron DeSantis has been doing what politicians always do– grandstand for the voters in order to get elected. The lawsuit in question was over a law that prohibited teachers from discussing sexuality or faggotry to children, and prohibited schools from exposing children to pornography.

The settlement again allows teachers to talk about their sexual deviancy with their students, as long as it isn’t part of the curriculum. It also allows schools to expose children to porn, as long as the book isn’t used as a part of classroom instruction.

This is pure bullshit. Now that DeSantis isn’t in the running for President, he all of a sudden isn’t interested in the things that he claimed to hold dear. It’s almost like he was telling people what they wanted to hear in order to get elected.

This is the biggest problem that I have had with the Republican party for years- they are only interested in power and money for themselves. They are not any better than the Democrats. Remember- just because the Democrats are your enemy doesn’t make the Republicans your friends.

The Republicans will work with the Democrats to destroy Trump, so they can try to return to the grift that they had going before the MAGA movement came along. Of course, they are too stupid to realize that they are being used by the Communists in the Democrat party and will be done away with as soon as it is convenient to do so.

In Washington, DC, a city of over 700,000 people, only about 2,000 of them are Republicans.
