godzilla Posted January 30, 2021 Report Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) just because its probably a really good topic right now. trumpism? no trumpism? do establishment Rs and Ts slaughter each other? does trump create his own party? my fist topic about it... the famous Marjorie Taylor Greene! oh shes going to be a handful. Marjorie Taylor Greene claims Trump's backing amid intra-GOP debate over her fitness to serve no one has confirmed her claim that Trump is backing her. dealing with her seems like a no win situation. damned if you do and damned if you don't. i'm seriously hoping for the Patriot Party! no holds barred Trumpism needs a place.

godzilla Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Posted January 30, 2021 this looks interesting. Rep. Jim Banks, chair of largest House conservative caucus, previews GOP agenda post Trump "Trump taught the GOP how to stand up to China, Wall Street and Big Tech and fight for working men and women, Banks said. Those priorities must remain, Banks said, but coupled with a more traditional GOP agenda of balanced budgets and reforming entitlement programs to restore fiscal responsibility. "I'm the first Republican to admit that Republicans have lost their way on fiscal responsibility," Banks said of the bloated budgets and ballooning debt under Trump's tenure." 1 Quote
Argus Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 The Republican Party is full of douchebags and sleazoids. Lauren Boebert is no different. 1 hour ago, godzilla said: "Trump taught the GOP how to stand up to China, Wall Street and Big Tech and fight for working men and women, They did none of that. China increased its trade deficit. Wall Street made record profits. Big Tech increased its power and profits. And the only thing they did for ordinary working men and women was take away much of their health care and let them die of covid. 3 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
Argus Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 As long as the base loves Trump the political whores in the Republican Party will continue to bow before him. Greene is not the only nutjob in that party, either. There is a ton of money available for anyone who wants to primary sitting Republican leaders by promising to be further right than they are and cut taxes more. The moneymen don't care how nutty these people are as long as they promise to cut their taxes. Most Republican congressional seats are completely safe, either because of gerrymandering or because they're in deep red states. What they really fear is being primaried. That's the real election. The general election is an assumed win. Witness the aforementioned nut job Greene, and her soul sister Lauren Boebert. Along with other greasy types like Tommy Tuberville or Devin Nunes. 2 Quote "A liberal is someone who claims to be open to all points of view — and then is surprised and offended to find there are other points of view.” William F Buckley
godzilla Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Posted January 31, 2021 i don't think things are so rosy. haha. Trump had one term and in the process lost the house, senate and presidency. Trump can say that he turns out R voters but what he also does is turn out D voters... even more. the R bean counters know this. 1 Quote
godzilla Posted January 31, 2021 Author Report Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) MTG now says she had a nice phone call with Trump. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene discloses ‘great call’ with Trump and that "I would never even consider hurting anybody. Never," Greene said. "And I've never carried a gun in Washington DC, not once. ... They're all at home in Georgia." hilarious. is she backing down on the gun thing now? no blood necessary to take back the country? which is it? and its too late for the parents of Sandy Hook etc... she already hurt those people badly. but i'm going take a chance here and propose that she will be admitting that Sandy Hook was real shortly in order to attempt to stay on the Education Committee that shes on.

What then? I think if Biden continues to push full-throated identity politics the white voters who abandoned Trump and voted Democrat will return to the Republican Party and they'll take back both the senate and the house.

godzilla Posted February 1, 2021 Author Report Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) this is interesting... i propose its still Trump shredding the Rs. he'll be busy trashing Ds but also Rs he doesn't like. and the thing is that intelligent Rs have already figured it out that Trump may be powerful with his base and Rs in general but if he can't get independents and in fact, turns off establishment Rs then. the Rs are done. Trump stocks new PAC with tens of millions as he bids to retain control of GOP obviously Trump has issues with revenge... he'll go to his grave trying to fuck people for slighting him.

godzilla Posted February 2, 2021 Author Report Posted February 2, 2021 millions to cause a shit storm for he Rs. this segment with Lou Dobbs and Mark Meadows is lovely... Dobbs trashes McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel in one breadth! Ds are finally gonna love Trump! Trump's Save America PAC starts 2021 with more than $31M, filings show Quote
godzilla Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) looks like Dems are putting McCarthy over a barrel! Dems moving ahead with vote to strip Marjorie Taylor Greene of her committee posts the Rs and their machinery have really been trying to shore up the Trump base... but their appears to be a lot of confidence from Ds and establishment Rs that the position is untenable. Greene would not concede to McCarthy, McCarthy has not been able to negotiate a deal with the Ds. Edited February 3, 2021 by godzilla Quote
godzilla Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Posted February 3, 2021 quite a few liabilities the Rs have with Trump hangers on. Charlotte Observer rips NC Rep. Cawthorn: An 'embarrassment' Quote
godzilla Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) MTG apologizes to Rs in private. states she will never do in public. Greene apologizes to GOP colleagues — and gets standing ovation "defended comments that past school shootings were staged by stating that she has personal experiences with a school shooting" Cheney on the other hand... does not apologize. No apology from Cheney during House GOP showdown over her Trump impeachment vote Edited February 4, 2021 by godzilla Quote
godzilla Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Posted February 4, 2021 this stuff i find just so interesting... because it really defines whether Rs will continue to accept Trumpism or not. another big player says no.

godzilla Posted February 12, 2021 Author Report Posted February 12, 2021 NRCC will ‘absolutely’ support Republicans who backed impeachment, finance chair says Trump won't like that... but i guess the point is, will anyone care? Quote
godzilla Posted February 14, 2021 Author Report Posted February 14, 2021 Maryland's governor looks forward to post-Trump GOP "I think the party has a winning message. We just had a bad messenger." yeah, i think he got that right. Quote
Infidel Dog Posted February 14, 2021 Report Posted February 14, 2021 Enjoy your RINOs while you can. They'll be gone soon. Republicans who voted to convict Trump face backlash at home Meanwhile MTG won her district with 74.7% of the vote. Quote
Infidel Dog Posted February 14, 2021 Report Posted February 14, 2021 Apparently Republican Senator Lindsey Graham feels differently about the future of the Republican party than Progressive Socialists and other followers of the Corporate left's media do. Quote Graham said of McConnell, "I like him," but called his post-acquittal takedown of the former president "an outlier of how Republicans feel about all this." "Trump-plus is the way back in 2022," Graham told host Chris Wallace. I would imagine if you're a Republican running in Arizona or Georgia or New Hampshire, where we have a chance to take back the Senate, they may be playing Sen. McConnell's speech and asking you about it as a candidate," Graham told host Chris Wallace. "And I imagine if you're an incumbent Republican, they're going to be people asking if you will support Sen. McConnell in the future." Quote

Ds are just going to go about running the country for four years while Trump destroys the republican party. no, the Rs have to ditch that pig now, and they know it. Thats why Mitch "the traitor" McConnell and others are pushing in that direction. Edited February 14, 2021 by godzilla Quote
Infidel Dog Posted February 14, 2021 Report Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) You say allegiance. I say support. Which term makes the user of the term sound more desperate? Insults (unless they're counter-punches) suggest desperation. And all Trump has to do is hang on to the 75 million voters that supported him then make sure the next election is fair. That will be possible after the midterms. Republicans should sweep. Providing those midterms are not fixed as bad as the 2020 election was. Edited February 14, 2021 by Infidel Dog Quote
