Honestly a good warning about how Trump treats those loyal to him. Pence was loyal too, and Trump incited the mob to try and hang him. Once he knew he was going to be held liable, he disowned his mob. White House wouldn’t even fly the flag at half mast to honor this guy.

Bipartisanship is something we will always need in order to stay a Democracy. And they didnt spit in Obama's hands, hell the Busch's and Obama's not only share candy but American values as well. Trump was far from a normal Republican.


Because of Michelle and W shared a piece of candy at a funeral service shows that the Republicans worked with Obama? Who was the "normal" Republican? The guy that lied us into longest running wars in American history? The crooks that got us into Iran-Contra and then one pardoned the other. Or how about the Watergate guy?

Mitch McConnell said from Day 1 of Obama's presidency that his job - their job - is to make Obama a one-term president. They fought him on EVERYTHING. Do you really deny that? When have republicans showed any sense of bipartisanship over the past four years while the crazy orange guy ruined this country? You're in for rude awakening, and I'll be right here to enjoy it, when you discover that the republicans will somehow "see the light" after this insurrection. Over 50% of republicans think that the riot at the Capitol was BIDEN'S FAULT! :lol: That's how cra cra they are.

Yeah, who wants to unite with violent, racist traitors? And the folks calling for unity are the guilty and those sympathetic to the guilty. What’s next, bipartisanship with ISIS?

When the news first broke that Rudy Giuliani tried to call new Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville to ask him to overthrow the election results, but mistakenly left a voicemail for a different Senator instead, it was largely written off as just Rudy being Rudy. Of course his half-functioning brain called the wrong person while trying to carry out a crime.

But now CNN is reporting that Donald Trump also tried calling Tuberville during the U.S. Capitol attack, and also mistakenly called the same other Senator instead. That is certainly not a coincidence.


The fact that Trump and Giuliani both tried to call the same senator during the capitol attack, but each called the same wrong number, is proof that Trump and Giuliani were conspiring together during the attack. One of them gave the other the wrong phone number to call, or the same person gave them each the wrong number.


When it comes to prosecuting people for something like inciting violence, proving coordination is key to proving conspiracy. Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani were coordinating with each other during the attack, or they were each conspiring with the same third party. It’s already becoming clear that Trump tried making these demands of the Senate while he was refusing to sign off on sending in the National Guard, meaning he was holding them hostage and blackmailing them. Now it turns out Trump and Giuliani were coordinating this effort.

What's the source here? I mean this seems obvious by now, but still is not reported clearly or frequently enough imo.


That one was Palmer Report. They are on Twitter

Like I said. This is a different Republican Party no question. But if we dont get back to some sense of sharing the same core values than what do you suggest? The parties aren't going to go away. Find common ground or there will be more anarchy. Unless you have a better suggestion? Should we keep pointing fingers across the aisle. Hold our breath until our faces turn blue? Divide up the states. No. America is going to move on no mater how much you cry.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

This Republican party is fractured beyond return. The bourgeois Republicans have lost the poor vote.
There's essentially 4 reasons to be a Republican,
-Gun enthusiast
-Christian fundamentalist - Opposition to abortion, homosexuality, etc.
-Racism - In a broad sense of the word. Example not wanting to import a bunch of unskilled "refugees" that would further destroy the -working class's economy. To the extremes of racism such as skin colored racism against other Americans.
-Wealth preservation/low taxes.


After Biden fails to correct this economy:
one because he is 78 going on 90
and two because his proposals are a fantasy that can't be paid for and will lead to an acceleration in inflation that will hit the poor far harder than the rich--
I predict the DNC will also splinter.
Best case scenario a new party or two arises from this that fights for working class Americans while having an understanding of basic economics to not fall for debt financed crony capitalism as shown below

Oh how very convenient of you to grace us with your prognostications of the future when you can't even muster the effort to account for your disgraceful participation in support of the unlawful effort to overturn a fair election that led to a full insurrection.

Thanks for the update traitor


When did I support it?
I just posted regarding the hypocrisy of supporting BLM's ACAB and Abolish the police movements during their 6 months of destroying private property across the country, and then crying for the police to stop these Trump supporters for rioting at Capitol Hill.
They are both idiots that can't realize the bigger picture. Except these groups of idiots attacked the government and not private citizens, so to me that makes them the lesser threat of the two. Whereas to you, that makes them the greater threat. Maybe because you have delusions of being some sort of privileged party member in this one party future you think will come about via big tech censorship and policing any political dissent. Another prognostication.. it won't.

I'll dial it back in your case and not lump you in with BSB and MrPos who were very actively promoting the stolen election rhetoric. I'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt since you are denouncing this insurrection.

As far as your understanding of the problem of police brutality, you're a big fat zero and are still peddling cheap logic. I can't be bothered with this kind of nonsense from you. I will merely acknowledge that you are not advocating sedition and leave it at that.

Video of Democratic Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester asking GOP members Andy Biggs, Michael Cloud, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Doug LaMalfa, Markwayne Mullin, and Scott Perry to put on masks. This was AFTER the mob had breached the Capitol building.

Even at the worst of times, the GOP continues to be superspreaders. Shameful

One of the dumbest takes I've ever seen on anything political. OK, I granted they were not advocating sedition, but here they are still minimizing the consequences of sedition which is tantamount to making excuses for treasonous conduct. So while I adjusted my criticism of them promoting government overthrow, they are still espousing toxic BS meant to paint false equivalencies which effectively renders their capactity to address any concept of right and wrong as null and void.

The dead cop lying on the ground as the mob beat their body apparently doesn't quality as a private citizen nor does a mob chanting Hang Mike Pence represent enough of a threat to them to understand actual right and wrong. FOH Frothbrain, you're still an apologist for MAGA when you try to pin this on anyone else. Frothbrain is still trying to find Antifa in a Where's Waldo picture of Trump insurrectionists. Gross and creepy logic.

That this guy is on here trying to lecture anyone about BLM and the sanctity of the police when the cops guided the insurrectionists in on a red carpet is really fcking rich. Unfckingbelievable
