    So connive, steal, lie, butcher your own beliefs. If that's winning, I'd rather lose. Call it loser speak all you want but it sounds like I'm winning my battles anyway.

    Modern Conservatism is literally built on a tradition of opposing Democracy. I'm sure there are some Conservatives who honestly believe in things like small government, but the majority are following in their ideological tradition.

    More and more they just seem anti-governance in nearly all forms besides religious governance. They know Trump is sabotaging these government programs and they'd just assume cheer. They try not to let on to that though. Government tells them to do something they were already doing and they'd probably still piss and moan.

    FBI Director Christopher Wray just testified that most violence is from the right wing. Then he said they were mostly anti-government and not necessarily ideological.

    Funny, if I am not mistaken some seemed surprise that politics was akin to the "law of the jungle" & not gentlemen & gentlewomen's parliamentary niceties & norms..

    Naive or stupid??

    SomeOne will need to ask this @ some point~WHY WAS MY PARTY NOT PREPARED FOR THIS & HAVE A PLAN??

    Seems this is often the case now, or so it seems....

    Didn't pelosi & shumar have some kinda contingency game when there became a vacancy??

    Perhaps they were not aware of her illness & visits to the hospital??

    Perhaps the party made a mistake having passed up younger talent & the future of the party for elderly leadership, a mere step or two behind their competitors??

    I hope I am wrong....... We'll see here soon enough
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Power grab? Lower taxes, pro-business, pro-2A, pro-Israel, pro-wall, anti-regulation, trade with china and even our traditional partners in the west. That's pretty much why I vote GOP. Just one example, lower taxes, how is that a "power grab"? Less revenue for the govt=less money for them to do stupid shit(actually, this tends to backfire on me, as businesses and industry tend to produce MORE, and therefore generate MORE revenue for the govt).

    This doesn't strike you as slightly hypocritical, that your own standards are so fluid that you can "protest vote"? Are you satisfied when the jackasses win and erode the things you supposedly believe in?

    You aren't even definable as conservative so much anymore. Bunch of hypocritical phonies.
    I consider the terms "conservative" and "liberal" to be in the rear view mirror. I've pretty much given up on anyone being able to address the debt and deficit, regardless how "conservative" anyone is. And I have noticed that use of the word "liberal" has fallen off, too. With as much stuff as they want to take away from us, and the amount of stuff they want to force upon us, I guess they understand that if they call themselves liberals, they will look even more like buffoons. Now they are radicals.

    Watch your backs, this court justice issue is so much more volatile than you realize.
    Why? Vacancy on the court, prez appoints, senate confirms, because constitution. Why should this be so scary?

    Please don't screw up so bad that you cause an uprising or the left gets too much unchecked power.
    Okay, let's say we "don't screw up", and wait until after the election. What should we expect if Trump wins, but the senate goes blue and they keep the house. You think Trump is gonna change his nominee because of that? Or if harris wins, but the GOP takes the house and expands the senate to a veto proof majority? So much game of thrones shit going on. But I feel safe saying one thing for certain: The right won't start the violence either way, and I ain't scared of the lunatic left. As far as the left getting too much unchecked power, nutbag nancy is already talking impeachment over this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...-vote-n1240568

    Both sides kind of suck but they work well enough in a good enough balance.
    Another thing in the rear view mirror. The American govt has been dysfunctional to where it's really noticeable for the last ten years, with the last 4 being nothing but a giant hissy fit by the drama queens on the left.

    The GOP hasn't lowered it's standards or left them behind or whatever you think has happened to them. We are now faced with simply trying to maintain somewhat of a status quo. You lefties run around waving free college, free health insurance, all paid for by draconian taxes on the evil rich and touting the green new scam, all the while bragging about how socialist you are. I'm 63 years old. I teach welding to adults and HS kids. During the obama years(all 8 of them), you know how many employers came into the shop looking for apprentices? Zero. The Trump years(pre-pandemic)? Two to four a month(a LOT more the first few months). This is another reason why I vote GOP. Because in a few years I want to retire and not worry if there are enough people working to pay my social security and medicare(two more "freebies" from the left that got out of hand real quick). I just want to travel around the country for a few years before I go home to Jesus(yes, I'm a Christian too, known to backslide on occasion). If harris wins, I retire the next day, because I know I won't have long before the whole thing turns to dog poop. Really not looking forward to seeing millennials with "will tutor your child on the communist manifesto for food" signs. Just trying to be pragmatic, that's all.

    You're a loser. You've already lost . You will never "win" at anything...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Hey fuckwit, you do realize that over the last 4 years you haven't been insulting and arguing with "right wingers" right? The people who put Trump into office aren't right wingers.

    Why is this thread in current events?

    Liberals don't even follow their own rules of Political Correctness or ID politics. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee. This is the mark of Socialist Authoritarianism.

    The Dems are the same socialist party that jammed Obamacare down the people's throats on a totally partisan vote. There is nothing gentlemanly about the leftwing hypocrites when they get power.

    .
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    The Democrat Party are threatening violence in the streets if they don't get their way. These are Brown Shirt socialists. They threaten to pack the court, and add DC and PR8 as States, to pack the Senate, and establish One Party Rule.
