Correct. The Republican Party in DC just goes along with the Democrat Party.

Democrats only opposition come from the MAGA side of the Republican Party.

I have no idea if I agree with that Judge because I don't know the context of his comments.

But, in a vacuum, I agree with that statement.

It's an indictment of the GOPe and the uniparty. It's an indictment of people like you.

And, it's the impetus for the America First movement that is attempting to rebuild the party to actually be an opposition party to the Democrats.

I have not clicked on the link either but I have a feeling that this federal judge is lamenting the fact that it is getting more and more difficult for the Republican Party in DC to get along with the Democrats.

This might really be the time that we get a third party or that one of the two major parties gets replaced. There are actually quite a few issues where the far right and the far left seem to agree. Both of them seem to hate the swamp.

I think the neocons with Bill Kristol and Ben Shapiro leading the way should form a new party separate from the current Republican Party.

Sam Numn was a guy who reached across party lines. My bad, I was thinking of politicians who put country first and he came to mind while I was posting. Sorry

There’s a “Republican Party” but it largely hasn’t been worth a shite for the past 30 years (unless you like open borders for cheap labor, Neocon inspired “Democracy by Force” campaigns the world over and general disinterest / acquiescence on the cultural fronts)….. Oh yes, cheaper taxes though I guess as a general rule.

There’s a civil war being waged within the Republican Party between those who have held power and would like to stay on track with the above and those who are seeking something different than the above for the Republican Party to stand for.

"You cats demonized every single one."

This cannot be emphasized enough. Both Bushes were demonized, as well, and even Romney was painted as a racist who was terrible to women and dogs. The vast majority of our media are little more than publicity flacks for the Democratic Party. I very much wish it weren't true, but it has been the case for decades.

My impression is that it's a GOPe uniparty elitist Judge's indictment of MAGA/America First and the movement supposedly "dividing" and weakening the GOP to the benefit of the Democrat Party. But he's wrong. The problem is exactly the traditional GOPe D.C. elitists who side with the Democrats on too much behind the scenes to the detriment of their conservative American voter base and the country as a whole. How dare those uppity MAGA/America First politicians and voters for refusing to continue to sit back and watch it continue after decades of the same ol' BS, right Judge? F that guy.

Whoever controls the money, the food production and distribution of food, and the medical care distribution system controls everything.

Having said that, the marxist communist Obama - Biden Cabal is on the verge of gaining total control of this country. Trust me, this will NOT turn out well.

.....and the low information voters will hand it (the country) to them.

What we're witnessing now in the culmination of decades of indoctrination in our secular institutions of higher learning, and a Godless public school system.

Choices have consequences. Bad choices have catastrophic consequences.

There is the Establishment Uniparty.

It consists of two wings that, when combined, comprise about 95% of Congress. There is;

A). The DNXi, which is the Action Wing, and

B). The GOPe, which is the Controlled Opposition Wing.

The other 5% are your outliers in the molds of your Rand Paul and Jim Jordan types. The vast minority.

He’s not wrong; Republicans are puzzies, end of discussion. Democrats are communist, and are all together, there’s no counterweight to their evil, just some debating puzzies
