Henry Rodgers, Senior Congressional Correspondent February 15, 2022
A group of 17 Senate Republicans joined Tuesday with 17 Senate Democrats in calling on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Labor (DOL) to increase the number of H-2B Temporary Non-Agricultural Worker visas available, saying America needs more workers.
The bipartisan group sent the letter to the Biden administration, calling on the DHS and DOL to make 44,716 visas immediately obtainable, Fox Business reported. The letter was spearheaded by Republican South Dakota Sen. Michael Rounds and Independent Maine Sen. Angus King.
In April, DHS announced that it would make 22,000 more H-2B visas available in order to deal with an increase in labor demands caused by COVID-19. The lawmakers are now calling for more, saying businesses will be forced to scale back operations without the help of foreign workers. This is despite the fact there are 6.5 million unemployed U.S. citizens.
Here Are The 17 Republicans Who Signed The Letter:
•Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso •Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt •Maine Sen. Susan Collins •Texas Sen. John Cornyn •North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer
•Idaho Sen. Mike Crapo •South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham •Wyoming Sen. Cynthia Lummis •Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski •Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran
•Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul •South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott •South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds •Idaho Sen. James Risch •South Dakota Sen. John Thune
•Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey •Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker
I got the idea to do this as a running list topic, after re-reading my comments to the Biden infrastructure topic:

With all due respect, Trump sacrifiecd a great deal to restore the nation's constitutional freedoms, and push back against the authoritarian power grab of the Democrat/Left. Your side wants no debate, they just want to intimidate and silence anyone who gets in their way. Kyle Rittenhouse is just the latest example of that, and Trump is the ultimate example of a dissenter they want to crush and silence. And anyone who served in his administration. And any one of the 74.3 million who support Trump.
The chamber of commerce is essentially Wall Street, and all they care about is their corporate bottom line. They love printing of dollars and any kind of printing of money to prime the system, whether an economic bailout or a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th round of Covid-19 stimulus. If Democrats pass trillions in spending legislation, that helps their bottom line and their shareholders, at least in the short term. They don't care about the best interests of the nation or its people, particularly not the middle class and poor that deficit spending and printing of dollars is destroying. Nor are the Wall Street/ Chamber of Commerce bureaucrats concerned about U.S. national sovereignty. They are perfectly content to see the nation enslaved to China if it will boost their profits. And in that, they are whores who have no loyalty to the country. They are the John Boehners and the John MCains, and the Paul Ryans and the Mitch McConnells and the Andrew McCarthy's and the Ronna McDaniels (Romney's niece, by the way) and the Liz Cheneys and the Mitt Romney's and the Lisa Murkowski's and the Susan Collins's.
They posture about opposing Obamacare or other Democrat spending legislation and destruction of civil rights, but when it counts they vote with the Democrats, because they are in it for the money and are bought off, rather than doing the right thing for the national interest and the rights and safety of the American people. In other words, they are RINOs, who in truth are stealth Democrats, and fake Republicans, doing the OPPOSITE of what conservative voters elected them into office to do, to preserve, protect and defend. And they sell out and become lobbyists or are given high-paying cushy corporate jobs when they leave office, them and their children. Whether children of the Bidens, John Kerry, or any number of other corporate/lobbyist insiders, both Republican and Democrat. And China is just another lobbyist, who has bought off the Bidens and others in his administration.
And Democrats can always find one or several of these bureaucrat RINOs willing to front as "bipartisan", to prop up the Democrats' lying narrative. That doesn't make it true, or good for the nation. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx are in that category. Likewise Mark Milley. Mike Pence made clear his true loyalties on January 6th. Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney have made clear they're also part of the Republican establishment/globalist/neo-con wing of the Republican party, who might as well be the Clintons. Did you happen to notice that George W. Bush and Cheney never said a word in criticism of Barack Obama during his 8 years, but came out of the woodwork to attack and slander President Trump? That makes CRYSTAL clear they are not Republicans, but some kind of agents within the Republican party. Likewise McCain. Likewise Romney, and all the other Republicans who signed bills to undermine Trump, or openly attacked him, but never attacked Obama or Biden. Anyone who is part of the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations, the OAS, the Federal Reserve, and other globalist organizations that undermine U.S. sovereignty. I would certainly put the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in that category. Lou Dobbs would often target the Chamber for derision, as a group who openly undermined Trump and the national interest.
I might be able to understand Senator Graham's saying that impulsively in the heat of moment, during the chaos of a riot on Jan 6th. But he didn't voice similar calls for action or retribution when it was later revealed that very few actual Trump supporters turned out to be involved, and that (out of 600 protesters who entered peacefully and only trespassed, many invited in, SHOWN ON VIDEO, by the Capitol police themselves). The small fraction of those, of the only 60 people stoking the violence or vandalism (according to the FBI's own investigative reports of Jan 6th) were "at least 20" who were "un-indicted co-conspirators" (i.e., FBI agents, agents provacateur, and at least 20 who were Antifa led by John Earle Sullivan, who combined, FBI and Antifa, were at least 40 of the 60). No re-assessment or criticism by Graham of those who hijacked the Jan 6th protests inside the Capitol. Or re-assessment or comment by Sen Graham on the FBI's or Capitol police's or Antifa's orchestration of the push inside the Capitol.
Especially unforgivable is Sen. Graham's use of the rioting chaos on Jan 6th to call for shutting down of the legitimate and constitutional challenge of the fraudulent electoral votes on January 6th by his fellow Republican Senators and Congressmen. As opposed to Graham instead (as he should have) pressing for a debate for several weeks by a joint session of the Senate and Congress on the legitimacy of the electors in those states. When the joint session re-convened about 3 hours after the rioting, that was the right thing for Graham and other RINOs to do after the hearings were brought back in session. Graham often acts as a Democrat/swamp agent within the Republican party, undermining the Republican party from within. A textbook RINO, who occasionally makes noises as if he were a committed Republican conservative, but a majority of the time betraying the people who voted for him.
Trump's most regretted political endorsements must surely be Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, and Mitch McConnell, all of whom would have lost without Trump's political endorsements and active campaigning on their behalf. But if they had been replaced by Democrats, I guess the damage would have been worse. At least some of the time, these three RINOs speak and vote like the Republicans they pretend to be.
Especially worthy of scrutiny are the Republicans who cooperated with any of the Biden spending bills over the last 18 months, that have created the current slowdown and pending recession. Without these Republicans voting for this legislation, the Democrat-Bolsheviks could not have pushed through all the trillions of new debt that are causing hyperinflation and recession in the U.S. economy.
Every time we were assured that the Democrats couldn't push through this legislation, that they just didn't have the votes, that this legislation was "dead on arrival" in the Senate, these Republican Senators shocked everyone, flipped out of the blue, and allowed this crazy legislation to pass.
Eight trillion was added to the national debt by the "pay it off in eight years" guy. Please pay attention to the other gigantic American dick fucking you because the Democrats (and "RINOs") aren't the only one.
I don't know specifically where you get the "eight trillion" number, and it's not even clear whether or not you're referring to Trump or someone else, but I'm well aware that Trump's annual deficits were in excess of a trillion a year, and I was repeatedly critical of that as one of my few disappointments with the four years of Trump's presidency, that he didn't reign in deficit spending. (Obama/ Biden's annual deficits as well were well in excess of a trillion a year, but I notice you selectively omit any mention of that. Obama's 8 years added $10 trillion in new deficit spending. That even in your worst exaggerations Trump cannot be spun to have approached or equalled. )
If you were paying attention over the last 6 years, I discussed that repeatedly with M E M here, and at least on the defense spending, Trump only wanted about $700 billion his first year to rebuild our military (the military that Barack Obama destroyed and under-funded for 8 years). But Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrat Bolsheviks refused that funding proposal, and instead extorted a total of $1.6 trillion in other domestic spending to fund Democrat wet-dream liberal spending that they've hungered 50 years for. That they extorted before they'd give Trump and our military what they needed to rebuild our national security. And I guess the need for that defense funding was so dire that Trump didn't fight the Democrats and re-negotiate that defense spending as aggressively as I would have liked him to.
But that is also something Trump is not credited for: that he is a negotiator. And the Democrats could have negotiated and gotten generous deals on many issues, to move forward and finally resolve the nation's problems on many fronts. But in almost all cases, no matter how generous Trump's offer to compromise, his offers to resolve major issues, from immigration to military defense to border security, the Democrats absolutely refused to negotiate and give Trump a political victory. And in doing so, the Democrats made clear they don't have a real interest in helping hispanics or illegals, or the poor, or impacted by rising drug addiction, or human trafficking, or victims of crime, because when Democrats had House and Senate majorities and a president (Trump) who made multiple generous bipartisan offers to solve these problems, the Democrats absolutely wouldn't come to the table.
Fourteen Senate Republicans decided to vote with Democrats Tuesday to start debate on a gun control package.
Democrats are currently working on passing legislation that would stop gun trafficking, ban the import, sale, manufacture, transfer or possession of high-capacity magazines, raise the purchase age for certain rifles from 18 to 21 and promote safer storage of guns. (RELATED: House Democrats To Push List Of Gun Control Bills)
The Senate voted 64-34 Tuesday to start debate on a gun control package, with 14 Republicans voting with Democrats. (RELATED: Senate Democrats, Republicans Meet To Focus On Gun Violence)
Here are the names of the fourteen GOP Senators:
•Texas Sen. John Cornyn •Minority Leader Mitch McConnell •Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt •North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr •West Virginia Sen. Shelley Capito •Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy •Maine Sen. Susan Collins •Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst •South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham •Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski •Ohio Sen. Rob Portman •Utah Sen. Mitt Romney •North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis •Indiana Sen. Todd Young
Meanwhile, in the House, Republicans introduced legislation Wednesday that would eliminate the federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition. The legislation, a copy of which was first obtained by the Daily Caller, has 49 cosponsors in the House. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans Introduce Legislation To Eliminate Federal Excise Tax On Guns, Ammo)
The bill is titled the RETURN (Repealing Excise Tax on Unalienable Rights Now) our Constitutional Rights Act and pushes back against the excise tax that is applied at the manufacturer level for every firearm and all ammunition sold in the U.S.
i.e., 14 Republican senators who sold out the Republican voters who elected them, doing the OPPOSITE of what their voters clearly want and elected them to protect . And in doing so, consciously sold them out to the Democrat-Bolsheviks' planned authoritarian one-party system. And eventually, into vassal slavery to the Chinese Communist Party.
5 Republican Senators who voted the impeachment process was Constitutional (it wasn't) : Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Nebraska), Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania)
and 10 other Republican Senators who wouldn't defend Trump or commit to oppose the Salem Witch Trial second impeachment : Bill Cassidy(Louisiana), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Jerry Moran (Kansas), Todd Young (Indiana), Deb Fischer (Nebraska), Richard Shelby (Alabama), Daniel Sullivan (Alaska), Rob Portman (Ohio), Jim Risch (Idaho), Mitch McConnell (Kentucky).
In the case of minority leader Mitch McConnell, Trump aggressively campaigned for Sen. McConnell in a very close race that McConnell absolutely would have lost without Trump's support. And yet just a few weeks later McConnell slandered Trump as "inciting the violence" that occurred on Jan 6th. But McConnell, putting his finger to the wind, felling the pending blowback by his voters, at the last minute voted to oppose impeachment in the final vote. I see the 10 non-committal Republicans as all RINO opportunists who tried to side against Trump, but massive national support for Trump by Republican voters made them back off, and timidly vote against the 2nd impeachment attempt. But they showed their true colors, and only voted the right way under pressure from their voters. But they would have stepped on Trump's corpse and pushed it deep in the mud to advance themselves, if their own voters wouldn't have angrily turned on them for it.
On April 4, 2022, the Senate voted to discharge Jackson's nomination from the Judiciary Committee with a vote of 53–47, with three Republicans (Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney) joining all 50 members of the Democratic caucus to pass the motion.[64] A discharge vote was necessary because of the tied vote in the Judiciary Committee. This was first time that the Senate has discharged the Judiciary Committee from consideration of a Supreme Court nomination since 1853.[65]
Confirmation On April 7, 2022, the Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 53–47 vote with the same senators voting "yea".[66] She was subsequently confirmed by the same margin with once again the same senators voting "yea".[67]
. April 6, 2022: House vote, 220–203, on H.Res. 1037, to hold former Trump White House advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas issued by the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
former Trump White House advisers Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas issued by the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
January. 6th Committee Vice Chair Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and Rep.Adam Kinzinger, R-Il., were the lone Republicans to vote to hold Navarro and Scavnino in contempt.
DOJ charged Steve Bannon, formerly a top Trump 2016 campaign official and later chief White House strategist, with two counts of contempt of Congress, both misdemeanors. Each count carries a maximum $100,000 fine and up to a year in federal prison. Bannon was a private citizen leading up to and on Jan. 6, 2021.
and
Nine Republicans voted to hold Bannon in contempt:
Reps. Peter Meijer (R-MI) Fred Upton (R-MI), John Katko (R-NY), Nancy Mace (R-SC), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), Liz Cheney (R-WY) Adam Kinzinger (R-IL).
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, also called the COVID-19 Stimulus Package or American Rescue Plan, Pub.L. 117–2 (text) (PDF) (March 11, 2021), is a US$1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 117th United States Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11, 2021, to speed up the country's recovery from the economic and health effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing recession.[1] First proposed on January 14, 2021, the package builds upon many of the measures in the CARES Act from March 2020 and in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, from December.[2][3]
Beginning on February 2, 2021, Democrats in the United States Senate started to open debates on a budget resolution that would allow them to pass the stimulus package through the process of reconciliation which would not require support from Republicans.
The House of Representatives voted 218–212 to approve its version of the budget resolution. A vote-a-rama session started two days later after the resolution was approved, and the Senate introduced amendments in the relief package. The day after, Vice President Kamala Harris cast her first tie-breaking vote as vice president in order to give the Senate's approval to start the reconciliation process, with the House following suit by voting 219–209 to agree to the Senate version of the resolution.
On February 8, 2021, the Financial Services and Education and Labor committees released a draft of $1.9 trillion stimulus legislation. A portion of the relief package was approved by the House Ways and Means on February 11, setting it up for a vote in the House. The legislation was also approved by the Transportation and Infrastructure, Small Business, and House Veterans Affairs committees. On February 22, the House Budget Committee voted 19–16 to advance the bill to the House for a floor vote.[4]
The bill passed the House by a vote of 219–212 on February 27. All but two Democrats voted for the bill and all Republicans voted against the bill.[5] A modified version passed the Senate on March 6 by a vote of 50–49.[6] The final amended bill was passed by the House on March 10 by a vote of 220–211 with one Democrat voting against it with all Republicans.[7] The bill was signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021,[8] which was the first anniversary of COVID-19 being declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.
January 12, 2021 - The House passed a resolution Tuesday night calling on Vice President Mike Pence to remove President Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment. Pence informed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) Tuesday evening that he has no intention to do that, making the nonbinding House measure mostly a symbolic prelude to Wednesday's impeachment hearing.
One Republican, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) voted with 222 Democrats to approve the 25th Amendment measure, while 205 Republicans voted against it.
Kinzinger is one of at least five House Republicans who have said they will vote to impeach Trump, though the final number is expected to grow as high as 12.
It reached a total of 10 House Republicans who voted for impeachment, in a final House vote of 222-197 for an impeachment trial.:
Liz Cheney (WY) Anthony Gonzalez (OH-16) Jaime Herrera Beutler (WA-3) John Katko (NY-24) Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) Peter Meijer (MI-3) Dan Newhouse (WA-4) Tom Rice (SC-7) Fred Upton (MI-6) David Valadao (CA-21)
And then in the Senate trial :
At the conclusion of the trial, the Senate voted 57–43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection, falling 10 votes short of the two-thirds majority required by the Constitution, and Trump was therefore acquitted. Seven Republican senators ...
Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana) Susan Collins (R-Maine) Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) Mitt Romney (R-Utah) Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania)
.. joined all Democrats, and 2 independent senators [two de facto Democrats, Sanders and Angus, who always caucus and vote with the Democrats] in voting to convict Trump.
Nov 6 2021 - The House of Representatives passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill late on Friday following a compromise between moderate and progressive Democrats.
The bill had already been passed in the Senate with some Republican support and 13 GOP members of the House joined most Democrats in voting to pass the infrastructure proposal in what will be seen as a win for President Joe Biden.
The House voted at 11.24 p.m. E.T. after weeks of divisions within the Democratic Party as progressives sought to link the bipartisan bill to a separate reconciliation bill known as the Build Back Better Act.
The bill passed by a vote of 228 to 206 with six progressive Democrats joining the majority of Republican members in voting against the measure.
The Republicans House members who voted in favor of the bill were:
Don Bacon of Nebraska, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Andrew Garbarino of New York, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Nicole Malliotakis of New York, David McKinley of West Virginia, T om Reed of New York, Chris Smith of New Jersey, Fred Upton of Michigan, Jeff van Drew of New Jersey and Don Young of Alaska.
The bill will now head to President Biden's desk for his signature. It had already passed the Senate in August by a vote of 69-30 with 19 Republicans offering their support, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The House also passed a procedural vote shortly after midnight to advance consideration of the Build Back Better Act. Democrats aim to pass the second bill through the budget reconciliation process, which will not require Republican support, but divisions between moderates and progressives have complicated passage of the Build Back Better Act.
and
The 19 Republican Senators who voted for the $ 1 trillion Infrastructure bill
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky Mitt Romney of Utah Susan Collins of Maine Lindsey Graham of South Carolina Roy Blunt of Missouri Rob Portman of Ohio Bill Cassidy of Louisiana Chuck Grassley of Iowa Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia Deb Fischer of Nebraska Roger Wicker of Mississippi Mike Crapo of Idaho Jim Risch of Idaho Kevin Cramer of North Dakota John Hoeven of North Dakota Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Dan Sullivan of Alaska Richard Burr of North Carolina Thom Tillis of North Carolina
A few here and there vote one time for a piece of odd Democrat-Bolshevik legislation. But there's a pretty clear group of RINO / Establishment -Republican bad actors who undermine Republican voters at every turn: Romney, Toomey, Murkowski, McConnell, Susan Collins, Roy Blunt, Rob Portman, Bill Cassidy, Richard Burr, Thom Tillis....
And others like Lindsey Graham, who talks tough like a conservative Republican, but as often sells out and disappoints, but a percentage of the time stood by Trump and his own Republican voters. But Graham is still unreliable, even though he at times comes through for conservatives. I thought he had a true awakening during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, but then he at times stood firm and at other times since has choked. (No day worse than January 6th 2021, his videotaped comments that day were disgusting, he was supposed to contest his state's electoral votes and present a legal case for that challenge, but then choked on the Joint Session floor: "Man, I hate this, Oh God how I hate this...") He choked, he chickened out.
Tucker Carlson pointed out that all the Republican Senators yesterday who sold out and allowed Democrats to pass "Gun safety" (in reality gun outlawing and gun confiscation legislation), are all Republicans in solidly red states. In voting the gun restriction legislation, they are not in any way supporting the will of their constituents, but instead the will of the Democrat marxist revolutionaries who want to disarm Republican voters and put them in concentration camps (and I've quoted many Democrats who have openly said these radical Bolshevik revolutionary ideas, recorded and easily pulled up ON VIDEO, on Youtube, Project Veritas and elsewhere.) Or in their own Democrat/leftist books, articles, speeches and public or private remarks.
These RINO Republicans in the House and Senate would hand you over to the Antifa / BLM / Bolshevik / Democrat mob, who fantasize about doing to the rest of us what they are already now doing to the January 6th prisoners who are treated worse than Guantanamo Bay Al Qaida prisoners. There is absolutely no overstatement of the facts in evidence. No due process, no clean water for them to drink, not even the ability to get a haircut, a shave or a shower. Plus beatings and deprivation of access to legal counsel, by federal prison guards who openly post on social media their Democrat/Leftist hatred for the people they are guarding, who they torment at every opportunity, as if they were instead Russian, Chinese, North Korean or Iranian guards, rather thaan U.S. federal prison guards.
These Republican legislators are the people we vote for and entrust to protect us. But with a smirk, guys like Senator Cornyn, instead of protecting us, they are taking away our guns and other protections, and throwing us to the Bolshevik wolves.
Jenna Ellis is done with the Republican Party, and is calling out the Republican National Committee and its chairwoman, Ronna McDaniel. Amid reports that the Justin Riemer, chief legal counsel for the Republican National Committee, bashed Donald Trump and his allies’ efforts to uncover voter fraud, Jenna Ellis is leaving the Republican Party.
During the July 12 episode of Just the Truth, Ellis’ show on Real America’s Voice, she announced her decision to leave the party until its top officials resign for not supporting Trump and conservative values. “All of them, including Ronna McDaniel, should resign now. Until they do, as of today, I am resigning from the party,” Ellis said.
“I am changing my voter registration, and I am no longer a Republican until the party decides that it wants to be conservative again. Even if I stand alone for the truth, I will stand for the truth,” she added.
Ellis’ resignation comes soon after the Washington Post reported that Justin Riemer sent an email asking an RNC official to not share discussions about voter fraud. “What Rudy and Jenna are doing is a joke and they are getting laughed out of court,” Riemer said, referring to Ellis and Rudy Giuliani. “They are misleading millions of people who have wishful thinking that the president is going to somehow win this thing,” the attorney [Reimer] added.
Business Insider also reported on Riemer’s email in a discussion about an early copy of Michael Wolff’s forthcoming book, Landslide: The Final Days of the Trump Presidency. The book reveals that Jenna Ellis was forwarded the email from Riemer, which she read during a dinner with Giuliani and former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik.
Kerik discussed the RNC and Ronna McDaniel in a recent appearance on Newsmax, calling McDaniel a “liar” for saying that the RNC worked hard for Trump.
Ronna McDaniel also claimed that the RNC was working hard to support election integrity and the audits. According to Senator Doug Mastriano of Pennsylvania, who is leading the fight for an audit in his state, he has “heard nothing from the RNC, from November to today. Jenna Ellis has been calling McDaniel out in several tweets over the past few days.
In one tweet, Ellis makes a great point: the GOP needs strong conservative leaders if they want to win elections and have the support of their voter base.
“If conservatives want to win, we need to be led by other (wait for it) actual conservatives who will stand for America First and our founding principles,” she wrote.
“In Playbook: ‘Anyone siding with Ronna is simply outing themselves as the self-serving politicians that have continued to undermine Trump and America for years. These people aren’t living by principles and truth; they’re siding with corruption and lies for political expediency,’” Ellis wrote.
“Hahahahaha Ronna goes on Fox with the chyron ‘GOP sees surge in donations ahead of midterms.’ Nothing about her lies or Riemer emails? What an obviously placed commercial to rehab the RNC. They REAAAAALLLLLLY don’t want us to stop funding them,” she wrote in another tweet.
Ellis also tweeted:
“Questions all real journos need to ask Ronna EVERY SINGLE INTERVIEW:
Why didn’t you fire Justin Riemer in Nov 2020 like you promised Trump? Why did the RNC deny the Wolff story as false when you had the Riemer emails? Where did the $200M raised for election integrity go?”
Apparently Ellis was likely right over the target in her attacks on McDaniel, and she couldn’t handle being called out.
“WTH? GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel Blocks Trump Election Lawyer Jenna Ellis on Twitter After News Breaks on RNC Attorney’s Election Lies,” Bernard Kerik tweeted.
“RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel blocked Jenna Ellis after Jenna correctly stated the RNC Bailed On Trump In 2020 Election Fight! Let us remember Ronna Romney McDaniel is RINO Mitt Romney’s Niece! Real Republicans need to demand Ronna to step down now!” Ginger Gano tweeted.
Ronna McDaniel should have resigned or been fired the moment Biden was declared winner of the 2020 election, for not doing much more to prepare for the Nov 2020 election and prevent the fraud that occurred. And she should have been twice as fired when she allowed two further rigged Senate elections in Georgia just a few weeks later, without taking any steps to prevent that further fraud.
It is not said nearly enough that she is Mitt Romney's niece, and she is a RINO Romney Republican, not a Trump or Gingrich or Reagan Republican. Like Mark Steele before her, who now is a paid pundit on MSNBC nightly bashing the Republican party he play-acted as a double agent to lead. Like Joe Scarborough , like Nicole Wallace, like Mitt Romney, like Paul Ryan, like John Boehner. They are essentially fake Republicans who destroy and weaken the party from within, then leave to become CNN or MSNBC consultants and anchors, revealing who they truly were all along. In Republican positions, they give lip service to Republican opposition to Democrat policy, then cave in when the actual vote comes, or in this case the 2020 election where they sat on their hands instead of pursuing every legal option. Ryan as a board member of Fox News has likewise weakened Fox News, and twisted it to betray its dominantly conservative viewer base, particularly in its prematurely calling Arizona for Biden on election night, then prematurely calling the entire election for Biden, at which point the liberal networks piled on and did the same.
And the Georgia senate elections took the same pattern, where both Republican incumbents were winning by narrow margins, and then overnight they flipped and suddenly favored both Democrat candidates. And the very same Dominion voting machines were used, no changes no precautions added, and one dominion elections employee who was a former staffer of Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, working both elections, helping rig both elections.
I'm with Jenna Ellis one billion percent on this.
Likewise, Republican House majority leader Kevin McCarthy has only made half-hearted attempts to seize the majority in 2020, and was part of the turncoats who undermined Trump after January 6th. It will be in spite of, not because of, McCarthy if the Republicans gain the House majority in the Nov 2020 midterms, and by osmosis he becomes Speaker. I'd much prefer either Steve Scalise or Jim Jordan to become speaker, who are more reliably conservative and would actually fight for their voters and the issues and legislation that matter to Republican conservative voters.
For openers, Ronna McDaniel failed to conduct a winning election on Nov 3 2020. Under her leadership, the Republicans lost the presidency, the House, and the Senate.
Beyond that, she also sided against Trump and the 74.3 million people who voted for Trump. And she told untruths about Trump, playing into the hands of the Democrats.
And your spiteful personal insults do nothing to disprove those facts. Shithead.
Having orange albatross hanging around her neck certainly did not help. Republicans did pretty good down ticket considering his 5+ million vote difference flame-out loss to a dementia patient.
Having orange albatross hanging around her neck certainly did not help. Republicans did pretty good down ticket considering his 5+ million vote difference flame-out loss to a dementia patient.
That's precisely the point. Ronna McDaniel weakened the GOP by not supporting Trump. Far from an albatross, Trump is the strongest rallying figure in the Republican party. A high ratio of the Republican candidates who lost in 2016, 2018 and 2020 are the ones who distanced themselves from Trump (as Ronna McDaniel did). And many of the candidates who won in 2020 say that they won because of Trump, and that it was highly suspicious that Trump boosted their turnout so that they won, but then Trump did not win. As I said, on election night Trump was winning, and then after 3 AM (*AFTER* all the Republican vote observers were tricked into leaving in multiple states, Democrats counted votes all night with no supervision, and then all of a sudden Biden was getting 96 to 100% of the votes counted during those unsupervised hours, AMAZING how that works ! )
There were hundreds of thousands of ballots where there was only a presidential vote for Biden, and no down-ballot votes for any other candidate. Because the cheating Democrats had to complete the ballots fast, and didn't have time to fill out anything else on the ballot.
You can't explain any of these irregularities, because there is no other explanation than massive orchestrated Democrat cheating, across more than 7 states. But especially in the 7 states that determined the election. Trump was winning all of them till 3 AM election night, when the orgy of cheating began.
Whole lot of conjecture in that. Funniest is the idea McConnell would have lost without orange doofus. People who have been Republicans longer than I have been alive are now RINOs because they don't bend the knee. You're a fucking cultist.

McConnell was losing in the polls for months, and then after Trump campaigned for him (at McConnell's desperate request) McConnell did win by a larger margin than expected. Likewise Lindsey Graham.

To a fault, I like to be clear and explain things. I figured that was your strategy, but I explain anyway, for someone else entering the topic, not familiar with our past exchanges.
Often I click and drag, so it's not so much effort. But I guess I won't even extend you that courtesy. Pearls before swine, and all that. Again, you're the one who belongs to a cult (parroting the party line of both both the Democrat party leadership, and the 80%-plus liberal media, who in many examples I've detailed are lying to you, but you just go on parroting their taking points. Right down to calling any Trump supporters "cultists", which is straight from MSNBC and the other leftist media. They can't argue facts, so they rely on labels. " Trump is a baby. Trump is a Nazi. Trump is Hitler! Trump's supporters are nazis. Putin is Hitler! " None of those bumper-sticker labels hold up to scrutiny.
And my latest favorite : Trump supporters are trying to overthrow the United States and set up a fascist one-party system ! (Oh, the irony. Democrats always accuse Republicans of what they, the Democrats themselves are actually doing. I've detailed the case against the Democrat-Bolsheviks for that at length. It is Democrats who want to censor, crush and destroy all dissenting thought outside their own, and even fantasize about gulag "re-education camps" and genocide of Republicans.
Your side can't even define what a woman is, and are overt Marxist-Bolsheviks who euphemistically call themselves "Democrat Socialists", who cheer on tearing down statues of our nation's founders, cheer on BLM and Antifa burning hundreds of cities, and support the "1619 Project" indoctirnation in schools , that you as a leftist junior college professor probably teach. But yeah, Democrats aren't the ACTUAL cultists. Not at all !
Oh, god...you insinuated I teach the 1619 Project. How cute!
You know I don't have to disprove anything you said about leftists and may even agree with some of it...and can still believe that Trump got thumped, right?

Do I know that? The problem is you never clarify your views, or say anything clearly. You don't express what you believe and why, you just engage in namecalling and say I'm an idiot for holding my clearly detailed linked and sourced views.
You pretended to in the first year you posted here to be a reader of Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul supporter. But you express contempt for the Tea Party and Donald Trump supporters ,who are both the direct outgrowth of those two political figures. I would argue that Pat Buchanan's book DEATH OF THE WEST (2002) is the exact outline of the platform Trump got elected on. I would be very surprised if Donald Trump had not read it and used it as the basis for his policy, both in the 2016 campaign and in his 4 years as president. Jonathan Swan (then of the National Review) selecting his winners for the week on Fox News with Brett Baier on the Friday after the election, cited Pat Buchanan as his winner for the week, saying that "Pat Buchanan has been championing the issues Trump won on for the last 25 years. And a Trump presidency is the next best thing to a Buchanan presidency."
In every presidential election, in every midterm for over 12 years, you always , ALWAYS support some obscure Republican who gets maybe 1% or 2% of the vote, and who generally bashes the other Republicans. So... you basically only support Republicans who can't win, have no following, and on top of that bash all other Republicans. So unless you can clarify what the hell it is you actually believe, it seems to me that you're a thinly veiled Democrat. And the fact that you're a junior college professor further makes it about a 90% likelihood you're a Democrat leftist. Only about 7% of college professors polled self-identify as "conservative".
As I've explained repeatedly, Trump was winning on election night until 3 AM, at which point FOR THE FIRST TIME IN U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HISTORY, THE VOTE COUNT WAS SUSPENDED SIMULTANEOUSLY IN 7 STATES. But again, they didn't even do that, they only sent the Republican observers home, and CONTINUED COUNTING ALL NIGHT LONG, WITH ONLY DEMOCRATS PRESENT, NO REPUBLICAN OBSERVERS. At which point a statistically improbable 96% to 100% of the votes suddenly were all going in Biden's favor, the precise time Biden spiked ahead and "won". Biden, the uncharismatic inarticulate boob who couldn't complete a sentence in his stump speeches, who couldn't draw 100 people to any of his rallies, got more votes than any candidate in history. Biden, who incredibly got more black votes than Barack Obama did. But only in a few specific urban areas in the 6 contested states, and only after 3 AM on election night, AFTER the Republican observers were sent home. Yeah... That doesn't make sense, and there are all kinds of measures I've cited, and more I haven't, that demonstrate how much more likely a rigged 2020 election is, and how unlikely an actual Biden victory is.
Here are the Republican senators who have come out in support of the amended bill:
Lisa Murkowski of Alaska Dan Sullivan of Alaska Todd Young of Indiana Joni Ernst of Iowa Susan Collins of Maine Roy Blunt of Missouri Richard Burr of North Carolina Thom Tillis of North Carolina Rob Portman of Ohio Mitt Romney of Utah Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming
The usual RINOs betraying their voters.
These are all overwhelmingly conservative states, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX), gave a passionate speech on the House floor today about this betrayal, and cited the margin for Trump in each of these 12 Senate districts that voted for Trump. The least was 58%. Clearly, this legislation is not the will of the people.
Not the worst RINOs have done. But it sets a really bad precedent, the very same day after Republicans were officially called winners of the new House majority. Elected to change course.
Bad symbolism, that quite possibly Republicans are not going to course-correct, to actually represent the will of the Republicans who voted for them. That there may not be the bold change promised, away from the national-suicide-course trajectory the Democrats have had us on. Although these 12 Republicans have only said they support the legislation for this, and have not voted on the actual bill yet.
But at the same time, [url=https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2022/11/11/gop-rep-comer-house-will-investigate-hunter-biden-fauci-border-debacle/]Rep. Comer of Kentucky and other Republicans[/.url] have announced four areas of immediate House investigation committees they plan to open up.
1. The origins of Covid-19 , China's responsibility, and the involvement of Fauci and others in its creation and spread. 2. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and the president's compromised relationships with China, Russia and Ukraine. Not just Hunter's crack addiction and hookers, but a very real threat to national security. 3. The weaponization of FBI, DOJ, IRS, CIA, NSA and other federal agencies by Democrats against their political opposition. Spying on President Trump and his administration, and conspiring against the Trump administration. 4. Investigating how the Biden administration deliberate kicked open the previously secure U.S. Southern Border, and Biden and his officials' deceitful measures to obstruct securing the border. A border that was almost completely secure under President Trump.
If the republic is to be saved, these investigations have to be done, and people need to be convicted and serve serious time in jail.
The alternative is an authoritarian one-party Democrat-Bolshevik police state. That Democrats and the Deep State have manifested their intent to impose on the U.S., made clear in both their stated rhetoric (Jennifer Rubin, Robert Reich, the entire Bernie Sanders campaign staff, recorded by Project Veritas, senior officials in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, caught by their own self-incriminating texts and messages, Hillary Clinton's Saul Alinsky tactics, and bleach-bitting of 36,000 documents, smashing computers, smashing cel phones to hide FBI-subpoenaed evidence.) . And their actions (the Covid lockdowns, the weaponization of FBI, DOJ and other agencies, purge of Republicans from federal agencies and now our military, declaring pretty much all Republican opposition to be "right wing white supremacist domestic terrorism", imprisoning about 1,300 people who protested on Jan 6th 2021, only about 60 of whom committed any crime, and 40 of those 60 were either Antifa or FBI agents, the rest arrested and imprisoned without trial in a show of pure intimidation and terrorism. Irony, they accuse Trump protesters of terrorism: the innocent protesters they are terrorizing themselves.
Nov. 29 (UPI) — In a landmark bipartisan vote, the U.S. Senate passed legislation on Tuesday that protects the right to same-sex and interracial marriage.
The Respect for Marriage Act, which had already passed in the U.S. House, passed in the Senate on Tuesday night by a vote of 61-36. The bill received unanimous support from Democrats, plus 12 Republicans who also backed the bill in a procedural vote earlier this month.
...The final bill, which did include a provision to ensure polygamous marriage remains illegal in the United States, repeals the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to same-sex couples.
The measure now goes back to the U.S. House for another vote. If approved, the Respect for Marriage Act would then head to Biden’s desk where the president is expected to sign the measure into law before Democrats lose control of the House in January.
While many Republicans did not support the bill, 12 GOP lawmakers helped form the coalition of bipartisan support that pushed it through.
“For the sake of our nation today and its survival, we do well by taking this step,” said Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., as she called for more tolerance during what she described as “turbulent times for our nation.”
Predictable. The same 12 RINOs who virtue-signalled they would support the legislation two weeks ago.
It is also expected to pass the House. Texas House Republican Chip Roy, in House debate, pointed out that none of the Republican senators who voiced support of the gay marriage legislation lives in states that voted no less less than 53% to 70% for Trump in 2020. That all 12 GOP Senators are opposing the will of the people who voted for them, that they would not suffer politically if they opposed the gay marriage codification. That people voted to give Republicans a House majority, to change course, to represent them. And literally THE DAY elections were called to officially give Republicans a House majority, the first thing Republicans did was vote with Democrats to pass this piece of legislation their voters clearly strongly oppose. Showing that nothing has changed.
And the GOP are voting to keep in power Ronna McDaniel as GOP chair, Mitch McConnell as Senate minority leader, and Kevin McCarthy as House speaker. The three people who sabotaged and lost the 2018 and 2020 elections, and undermined and minimized the 2022 gains that should have been much greater. That their Republican voters want change, and their endorsement of this legislation THE DAY REPUBLICANS GAINED CONTROL OF THE HOUSE shows they have no intention of changing at all, and are actually defying the will of the people who voted for them. With the same three RINOs kept leading the party. No change, no course correction.
I'm an unreconstructed bigot and hate that gay people have rights.
Yeah, we know. We don't need an entire [dissertation] from you to remind us of these things.
I'm obviously not a bigot, and sorry to confuse you with facts you are mentally incapable of processing. So all you really have is insults and personal slander.
It's ok to not like gay people. Or white people or black people or men or women or whoever. But you better like your momma. Never hate on your momma.
I'll go along with that.
And I think it's obvious that I don't even hate gay people, or any other racial or demographic people as a whole. Some of the gay posters here in the past 20 years have been among my favorites to interact with. I've defended Beardguy quite a bit here over the years. You can disagree with someone's views or lifestyle, and not hate them personally or as a group. I've clearly liked and interacted in a friendly way here with a number of openly gay people. And over many decades, I've had gay classmates, gay co-workers and gay friends, even two gay family members, all of whom I have interacted with as friends, both personally and professionally.
My disagreement is with the legal ramifications of gay marriage, that is being used by the Democrat/Left to undermine those with conservative and religious beliefs, used as a weapon for Cultural Marxist overthrow of the United States and of broader western culture.
The same way as cracking wide open the southern U.S. border and illegal immigration is. The same way legalization of drugs is, the same way de-funding police, as advocating lawlessness that creates more homeless people in the street, as policy of releasing millions of criminals from jail. All these are part of a Leftist plan to undermine public confidence in our Constitutional republic, and pave the way for a Leftist/Marxist/Authoritarian/Globalist government to replace it. Transgender admirals and other freaks in our military and government. It is at the same time threatening and silly, and it is a deliberate attempt by Leftist elites to demoralize those serving in our military, and to undermine the public's confidence in our military's ability to even defend and protect us. To use the military as one example, of what the Left is doing through every segment of our government and society. I believe in a society that allows gays to exist and live together (civil union) and live as they want. I don't agree with gay marriage and other intrusions and re-definitions by the Left, that change our culture out from under us, and basically outlaw what I and others believe, under the false banner of giving gays more rights. Gays for at least 20 years live as they want, without persecution. The real purpose of this new legislation is to crush conservatism and religious faith. In the eyes of Cultural Marxists, one of the three "pillars of democracy" (1, nationalism, 2. the traditional nuclear family, 3. religion and particularly Christianity, the three core centers of teaching values that undermine Marxist indoctrination of a country) they need to destroy to advance their Marxist revolution.
Gays and gay marriage are just a weapon used to manipulate gays in that Marxist revolution, to stoke gays to their cause. Just as Critical Race Theory and an indoctrinated sense of victimization is used to rally blacks, hispanics, asians and others to oppose the existing American culture. Divide and conquer.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
Conservatives on Twitter blasted the news that the Senate had passed the massive $1.7 trillion omnibus bill by a 68-29 vote Thursday, especially targeting the 18 Senate Republicans who voted in favor of more government spending.
The Senate approved the 4,000-page bill that funds the government for the rest of the fiscal year, until September 2023. The omnibus included $858 billion for defense, $787 billion for non-defense domestic programs and more than 7,200 earmarks costing over $15 billion.
Though many GOP senators had spoken out against the large bill, the final tally revealed several Republicans voting in line with the 50 Senate Democrats, even as the national debt recently surpassed $31 trillion. Right-leaning social media users and other Republican senators were quick to pile on the "sellouts" who voted in favor of massive Democratic projects and more spending despite high inflation rates. "I'm looking forward to 7% approval rating Mitch McConnell's next lecture on candidate quality after leading the charge to take away the new GOP House majority's leverage over the budget for an entire year," X Strategies Senior Digital Strategist Greg Price tweeted.
ACT for America founder Brigitte Gabriel wrote, "Who is worse? The Democrats who are actively destroying the country or the Republicans who are sitting on their hands watching it burn?"
"Yuck," American Commitment president Phil Kerpen exclaimed.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote, "I’m disappointed in some of my fellow Republicans, who voted against respecting the taxpayers and for empowering themselves to spend your money with reckless abandon." Internet Accountability Project senior counsel Will Chamberlain tweeted, "Every single Republican Senator should be asked - point blank - is the Russia/Ukraine border more important than our own southern border?" "I never want to hear any of the Republicans who voted for this monstrosity pretend that they’re for fiscal sanity or border security ever again," Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., wrote.
Bishop previously went viral after tweeting a lengthy thread on the projects that will be funded within the omnibus bill. Among them include over half a billion dollars into "reproductive health" in areas that "threaten" endangered species.
"On a more sinister note, here's at least $575 million for ‘family planning’ in areas where population growth ‘threatens biodiversity.’ Malthusianism is a disturbing, anti-human ideology that should have ZERO place in any federal program," Bishop tweeted.
Other stipulations in the bill included funding for a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and "structural racism" National Institute of Health subdivision and the prohibition of the use of funds set aside for the Customs and Border Protection "to acquire, maintain or extend border security technology and capabilities."
Your "facts" have failed to impress anyone outside of your mutual insanity wank circle and that is in spite of a metric fuck ton of appointments by the chief of your mutual insanity wank circle tribe. That's because they aren't facts, you ghoul. Come back to reality and maybe people will take your bullshit a little more seriously. Until then, you get mocked relentlessly for living in a bubble of delusion. Them's the breaks, ghoulie.

In other words, by "failed to impress anyone", you really mean... you.
In your unhinged, profanity-laden, mean-spirited, spiteful, vindictive, deceitful hyper-partisan mindset, immune to facts and logic, you mean the cited facts failed to move... you. That's it. Only you. Because you are a foul, vidictive angry jerk, who is immune to logic and facts. You logic seems to be: if it doesn't come from CNN or MSNBC or Washington Post or Politico (all of whom despise Trump and will literally say ANYTHING, unsourced --anonymous sources that don't exist-- to discredit Trump and the Republicans.
....those are the facts, that you ignorantly refuse to acknowledge. I've cited multiple journalists who used to be centerpieces of the liberal media, who have left high-paying positions because they have integrity and refuse to just push a lying narrative, no matter how well it might pay. Many still identify as liberals, but will not continue to be a part of dishonest journalism. Lara Logan, John Solomon, John Stossel, Ron Kessler, Glenn Greenwald, Sharyl Attkisson. THESE are people with integrity, who have sacrificed to tell the truth. And in your unhinged Planet Iggy world, the liars they disowned themselves from are the ONLY sources you believe ! Incredible delusion on your part, incredible dishonesty.
You're such a zealot. "Only sources that have consistently lied to me can be trusted to tell the truth !" Sources that over the last 6 years have been repeatedly exposed as liars, forced to fire reporters and producers because they've consistently gotten the facts wrong, DELIBERATELY gotten them wrong, and these are the only sources you believe. You're such a moron.
No, I mean courts of law that have slapped these down countless times. There's no there there. I can question too. What if it isn't everyone that goes against these claims are deep state? What if the rest of the world telling you that you are being snookered are correct?

There's too many hypothetical "what-if's" in there for it to make any serious or lucid point. What if Eleanor Roosevelt could fly? Would it have changed the air-war over Britain? It's a silly premise, that can't possibly make a serious point.
I've pointed out before that you cherry-pick and exaggerate Trump's losses in court. It's pretty close to 50 / 50 for Trump in the courts.
But that's the narrative your side likes to sell. And you're not "neutral" or "libertarian", you're a Democrat/leftist zealot with a pathological hatred for Trump and Republicans. You only listen to hard-leftist news, you have contempt for any conservative or moderate news sources, and you spit venom on every opportunity at any ACTUAL Republicans. You only like Republicans who either can't win, and/or Republicans who attack other Republicans.
Most wins put in Trump's column were either pre-election or cases generally unrelated to the fraud claims. I'd post a source, but you'd call it "lies" and "liberal media (in all caps)" So, you know, keep pounding that sand and posting things that go nowhere when and where it matters while you scream deep state and conspiracy at reality punching you in the dick and telling you that you are incorrect.

In your opinion. And I'd call it "lies" probablly, because it would be a liberal source that CONSISTENTLY lies, among the sources I listed as doing so. Why do you believe sources that have consistently and deliberately gotten it wrong, for 6 years now, in their partisan bias to "get Trump" because they believe it is their holy mission to destroy Trump and the Republicans, and to fly cover for the Democrats? CNN, Washington Post, N Y Times and Politico allow Democrat candidates to see their stories in advance, the ability to omit parts of the story they feel would damage their campaigns, the ability for Democrats to completely spike stories they consider too damaging. Clearly collaborating with Democrat leaders to create a unified narrative. Why would I trust these sources ? Why would YOU ?!?
And now thanks to Elon Musk (although there have been exposures of it before over many years, from Project Veritas, N Y Post , "Journo-List"and others) we see that there is a Bolshevik collaborative pincer-movement of the mainstream media, tech/social media, and Democrat zealots in the FBI and other branches of government, that could only fairly be described as a political coup, to overthrow the United States, and establish a Democrat-Bolshevik one-party system. Also in collaboration with Soros-funded "grassroots activist" groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the open-borders movement. All working togeter to collapse the existing system.
And clearly, double-agents within the Republican party as well, who are sabotaging the Republican party from within. Michael Steel, Nicolle Wallace, the various former GOP political strategists at the Lincoln Project... these were the GOP leadership while McCain and Romney were each running for president. And they were purposely sabotaging those campaigns from within. Palin "went rogue" and went against their planned failure strategy, she saw it and resisted it. And now these vipers have revealed their true colors, and are out in the open as hard-left partisans on CNN and MSNBC.
And I think Ronna McDaniel, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Kevin McCarthy and the 18 sellouts who just passed the $1.7 trillion "Omnibus bill" will eventually be revealed as the sellouts they are as well. As was John Boehner. As was Paul Ryan (now doing damage on the board of Fox News). They need to be rooted out, or nothing will change. They are fake leadership, infiltrators to destroy the party from within, and they have to be rooted out.
You can't just disagree with people? That's a big part of the problem. These people aren't part of some vast globalist/satanist/marxist/whatever conspiracy. They are people with a vision of what America should look like. As for the media, getting it wrong is part of the problem that is 24/7 first with the scoop news that we need to take seriously. It doesn't mean, however, that we write them off completely. WaPo, The Grey Lady, and others have gotten it right a lot more than wrong. Here is a great write-up about the whole thing that rings quite true to me and others beyond the simplistic either/or of our broken political discourse (with links!):

CATO aligns witht he Democrat/Left, as much as Perkins-Coie does. Washington Post is textbook Democrat-Left partisan media.
These Democrat leaders I've cited, from the Clintons, the Obamas, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth "Pocahantas" Warren, Maxine Waters, Julian Castro, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, "the Squad", on down to the people they appoint and hire, are cultural marxists, or more directly just Marxists. I've linked and posted THEIR EXACT WORDS here, REPEATEDLY, there's absolutely no way you can deny or allege it is just "paranoid" to say they are Marxists who want to topple the United States and create a one-party marxist-socialist govenrment.
It is not "simplistic", it is their exact words, WHAT THEY SAID. FACT. Period. The end. Beyond denial.

Look up the listings on https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/ for just about any official in the Clinton, Obama or Biden administrations, any group like Black Lives matter, Antifa, or the many Soros-funded front groups. Look up just about any Democrat Senate and House member.
The Democrats are owned by the far-Left, and have been since 2004, at which point the then-head of MoveOn.org said (after Soros-funded groups took over funding of the Democrat party after McCain-Feingold campaign finance legislation stripped away Democrats' previous largest funders) : "We bought the Democrat party. We own it. " https://us.politics.narkive.com/AWXfKUlT/moveon-we-bought-the-democratic-party
Only Reps. David Valadao (R-California) and Dan Newhouse (R- Washington) advanced into the general election, and were re-elected in strongly Republican districts.
Of the 7 Senators who voted for impeachment, only Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) was up for re-election, and would have lost, if the RINO-in-chief swamp creature Mitch McConnell had not poured millions into Murkowski's campaign and bombarded her primary opponent Kelly Tshibaka with negative ads. Plus the weird run-off system in Alaska, that also supports the swamp.
There were a number of Republican Trump-endorsed candidates who should have won, if they were not undermined and shorted funding and support by RINO party leadership, specifically Mitch McConnell. To a lesser degree, Andrew McCarthy undermined Trump-supported candidates. In both cases, the voters are overwhelmingly pro-Trump, undermined by leadership who took a while to manifest themsellves as anti-Trump. Satisfyingly, Liz Cheney suffered the most devastating primary defeat in GOP history, in a much-deserved and glorious thumping.
Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) narrowly won re-election, and should have lost. Richard Burr (R-North Carolina) , is gone as of Jan 2023, voting for impeachment because he was not facing re-election. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), a "moderate"/RINO, also voted for trillions in Biden legislation, and I suspect will be primaried out. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is a hopeless RINO case, who often votes in opposition to her own party. Very popular in an oddly left-leaning Republican state. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is hated by people in Utah, and will not gain re-election, and he knows it. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) while very popular in a very red state, is clearly of the RINO/swamp wing of the party. Tucker Carlson made fun of his obvious corrupt corporate ties. Pat Toomey (R-Pennsylvania) , another RINO swamp creature, is already gone as of Jan 2023, and voted for impeachment only because he did not face re-election.
Most of those remaining will be primaried out. Collins and Sasse I suspect will, unfortunately, be re-elected.
Over the last few weeks, a Florida representative pushed a bill to censure Rep . Adam Schiff for his deliberately lying about alleged evidence of the "Trump-Russia collusion" narrative, that Schiff KNEW from the start to be false, but that he pushed anyway, politically dividing the country, crippling the Trump administration, and costing $ 32 million for a Mueller special investigation.
Astonishingly, 20 House Republicans opposed this bill to hold Schiff accountable. Rep Massie is the only one I saw who voiced some kind of Constitution-based principle, despite that he saw Schiff was clearly in the wrong.
The House on Wednesday effectively killed a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), voting for a Democratic-led motion to table the measure.
The chamber voted 225-196-7 to table the resolution. Twenty Republicans voted with Democrats to table the measure, while seven lawmakers — five Democrats, two Republicans — voted present.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) introduced the censure measure in May but brought it to the floor as a privileged resolution on Tuesday, forcing the House to take action on the legislation. Democratic leadership motioned to table the measure, which requires a simple majority vote.
The effort by House Republicans to censure Schiff is the latest iteration of the conference’s longtime crusade against the California Democrat, who became a bogeyman to the right after spearheading efforts against former President Trump while he was in the White House.
A resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff was blocked by the House after twenty Republicans voted with Democrats to table the measure.
"Reported" there with a clear MSN-Leftist partisan spin.
Twenty House Republicans joined with Democrats to table a resolution that would have censured and fined Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff.
The resolution, introduced by Republican Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, asserts that Schiff “purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people” during the special counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. It would have fined him $16 million, half the special counsel investigation’s cost. (RELATED: Adam Schiff Admits There’s No ‘Proof Of Trump-Russia Collusion [Video])
Throughout Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation, Schiff asserted that evidence would prove Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 election. He also claimed that Trump might face jail time, and repeatedly investigated him from his perch as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Speaker Kevin McCarthy removed him from the committee at the beginning of the 118th Congress.
“Schiff abused this trust by citing evidence of collusion that—as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham—does not exist,” the resolution says. “Schiff used his position and access to sensitive information to instigate a fraudulently based investigation, which he then used to amass political gain and fundraising dollars.”
Schiff, who is running for Senate, fundraised off of the censure prospect. He sent an email to supporters Wednesday morning that claimed “MAGA Republicans are out for revenge” in “an attack on the very premise of constitutional oversight and accountability.” Luna promised to bring up the censure for a vote again, without the $16 million fine.
“20 Republicans voted against the recommended fine, censure, and investigation of Schiff. I don’t think they read the bill in entirety. Next week, we will be filing a motion to censure and investigate Schiff. We are removing fine as that seems to be what made these Republicans uneasy,” she tweeted after the vote.
It also specifically lists the 20 Republicans who voted "yes" for Democrats' resolution to kill the bill to censure Schiff.
This part in particular by Sciff is an obvious lie:

"This partisan resolution to censure and fine me $16 million is only the latest attempt to gratify the former president's MAGA allies, and distract from Donald Trump's legal troubles by retaliating against me for my role in exposing his abuses of power, and leading the first impeachment against him," Schiff wrote in a statement.
Rep Ana Paulina Luna's bill was submitted back on May 24th, long before anyone knew the Democrat-weaponized FBI and "special investigator" anti-Trump zealot Jack Smith would be serving an indictment for Trump to appear in a Miami courthouse on Tuesday, June 13 2023. How exactly is that bill, submitted by Rep. Luna in the House 3 weeks ago, a planned "distraction" from an ambush court appearance, filed on Trump just 4 days ago? ANSWER: It isn't. It's just another contrived lie by Adam Schiff.
Only a Democrat zealot, devoid of facts, logic and reason, could believe it. And God knows, there are tens of millions of Democrats like that nationwide.
Trump’s legal troubles started more than 4 days ago but I realize facts no longer matter to you. Or putting the country before the fat orange pos that lies about and hides classified documents next to a toilet.

You guys just keep sipping that liberal-media Kool-Aid. For 7 years they have been unleashing one false narrative after another at Trump, and usually they begin to unravel as the true facts come out within days. Some of them take several years, but the true facts have still come out and disproven the narratives, eventually.
An FBI 9-month counter-intelligence investigation, that proved nothing and was closed for lack of evidence. That Peter Strzok said in text messages to co-conspirator and lover Lisa Page he was reluctant to even be assigned to, because as he said in his text to Lisa Page, he knew before the investigation began that "There's no 'there' there." A House Russia collusion investigation, closed for a complete lack of evidence. A Senate Russia collusion investigation, also closed, no evidence. A Mueller contrived special investigation made up of hyper-partisan Democrat-donating lawyers, stretched past the 2018 mid-term election, but ultimately unable to present any evidence against Trump. A fake whistleblower report a week after Mueller's failed hearing testimony, a whistleblower complaint against President Trump possible only because of a very recent secret change to the whistleblower law in a special signed order, that no one can identify who created the change, and who gave it to CIA director Gina Haspel to sign into effect. Not at all suspicious !! The "whistleblower" complaint was actually not one person, but an amalgam of two agents: Eric Ciaramella (an Obama-loved Democrat idealogue in the CIA, for a while in the NSC), and Col. Alexander Vindman, (another NSC official, and rabid Democrat idealogue) Who together contrived the "whistleblower report" in Adam Schiff's office with Schiff's staff, and Schiff hand-picked the whistleblower's lawyer, who was also a longtime Democrt and CIA deep state operative. Nothing suspiicious or partisan here, no sir ! Fake Trump impeachment 1, failed. Fake impeachment 2, failed. A failed January 6th "Special select committee" investigation, completely partisan and one-sided, resembling a Soviet show trial, failed. The desperate raid on Mar A Lago, on a fishing expedition for evidence against Trump they don't have.
And now this latest round of fake indictments in Manhattan, and now Miami. And probably a third and fourth in Atlanta and D.C. before the election. How blind to the Democrat / deep state federal abuse of power are you ? Do you have any sense of fairness, the cases against Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden that go completely unpunished, while the same Democrat-weaponized FBI and other agencies have to actually change the law, in case after case, to maliciously pursue charges against Trump? The rule of law for Democrats only exists where it can be twisted to pursue their Bolshevik revolution. And that is not hyperbole or exaggeration, that is EXACTLY what is occurring.
Or, and just hear me out...you're in a fucking cult.
Or, just hear me out, you're a spiteful troll nutjob, with nothing to contribute.
It's hilarious how you (who are clearly in the Democrat-Leftist cult, and believe every word of the liberal media propaganda that is consistently proven wrong, DELIBERATELY wrong and inaccurate, over and over), but you hyperventilate and go into hysterics because I don't drink the Kool-Aid with you, and I cite sources that report the true facts and show how the talking points you've been spoon-fed are clearly factually incorrect.

Mmm...this Kool-Aid is fortified with vitamin C and sanity!
You're watching CNN and MSNBC, and worshipping the Washington Post, Politico and New York Times. There's not a drop of sanity in what you're drinking. Pure delusion, fortified with LGBTQ+ !
A group of House Republicans defied President Donald Trump on Thursday to support shielding more than 350,000 Haitian nationals from deportation.
Ten GOP lawmakers joined Democrats and one independent to approve legislation that would allow Haitians to be eligible for the temporary protected status (TPS) program for another three years.
Those Republicans included Reps. Mike Lawler and Nicole Malliotakis of New York; Maria Elvira Salazar, Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Gimenez of Florida. Don Bacon of Nebraska; Rich McCormick of Georgia; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania; and Mike Carey and Mike Turner of Ohio. Many in that cohort have large Haitian diaspora communities in their districts.
Man, sounds like you are just plain addicted to cope at this point.
