I'd been a registered Democrat my whole life until I changed my affiliation to "Independent" in 2016. Yeah, hate me or whatever but I was a registered dim.

I actually began voting mostly conservative in the early 2000s but I kept my party affiliation on my voter ID anyway.

It was around '16 when I finally realized that the parties are just two sides of the same shitty coin, so I removed myself from being connected in any way to either of them.

Conservative state governors are far more patriotic and ballsy than 99% of elected US Senators from the same states. For example, my Oklahoma Senators Inhofe and Lankford are completely useless tools of the uniparty, while Governor Kevin Stitt is basically Ron Desantis Lite.

Taking back the House and Senate won't solve anything. We need to focus on states taking a permanent stand. Perhaps a Convention of States, or actual real talk of secession or dissolution of the Union. America in its current incarnation will fail and is in no way sustainable.

GOP in the House and Senate: We can’t do anything because we’re in the minority. Vote us in the Majority in 2022 and we will be able to stand up to Biden and the Democrats.

GOP in the House and Senate in 2023 after winning the Majority in 2022: We can’t do anything because Biden can veto anything we do. We really need a GOP president in 2024. Then we can really make a difference.

These losers have excuses for not accomplishing anything whether in the Majority or not. When they get the Majority, they work hard to lose it because all they really want to do is talk about what wonderful things they could do if they were in the Majority.

Scared of Trump tweets?? He has been such a leader going into 22!!!

The man that lead the republicans and lost the House, the Senate and the White House doesn't seem capable of unifying republicans.

You guys still think there's two parties? The GOPe are establishment hacks just like the dems.


This.

I’m already a registered independent.

What we need is a new opposition party - call it whatever you want…Liberty Party, Constitutional Party. Something has to be done to designate legitimate right of center and conservatives that oppose the current swamp made up of Democrats and Republicans.

For 10 years, they ran on and took our $ on the promise to ' repeal and replace ObamaCare ', right?

Take back the House - check
Take back the Senate - check
Take back the White House - check

And this is what they delivered.

True. Then again, they aren’t guided by a manifesto.

As this article states, the Biden mandate to vaccinate or test is actually great cover for Republican governors who get to rail against tyranny but now have Biden doing the work they truly believe in and who have been actively encouraging their constituents to get vaxxed: LINK

"“What the president does is he creates political cover for Republican leaders, who will scream loudly because it’s politically expedient,” he said. “But I think many of them are actually feeling relieved, because now they don’t have to do the hard work of convincing their constituents.”

Indeed, when the highly infectious Delta variant began ripping through their communities and overwhelming their hospitals, many elected Republicans — notably Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the minority leader — started pleading with people to get vaccinated. Most of the Republican governors criticizing Mr. Biden have said much the same.

Encouraging does NOT = mandate.

You are being disingenuous.

The above is nothing but an opinion.

As such, I really don’t give a shite. frick em.

Mitch the bitch is an untrustworthy RINO.

TLDR

Mandates are dictatorial and not constitutional.

frick the uniparty RINO shitbags.

The left has:
Pissed off billions of dollars
Been ineffective in stopping the pandemic
Botched the Afghanistan withdrawal
Not Provided confident leadership
Let our reputation around the world sink
Opened the borders to the masses while telling Americans to stay inside


And those who are supposed to be conservative have done little or nothing to stop any of the above things from occurring. Do you really not believe that all these things are planned in order to bring about the demise of the country? Every single action by the Left since Jan 20 has been detrimental to the nation, and those that are supposedly opposed to the Left have done diddley-squat to curb it. Too much is going on right now for it to be coincidence.

Never have been, never will be.

He's a POS and sold his soul to special interest groups a very long time ago.

If this is accurate why isn't the "GOP" just releasing it?



I am so sick of the tick tock games.
