    Over 100 former Republican officials will sign a letter on Thursday declaring that if the Republican Party does not break with former President Donald Trump and change course, they will back the creation of a third party.

    The letter, headlined: "A Call For American Renewal," is an exploratory move toward forming a breakaway party, two of its organizers said. The group is dismayed by what it says is a modern Republican Party driven by its allegiance to Trump, who continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen from him.

    "The Republican Party is broken. It's time for a resistance of the 'rationals' against the 'radicals,'" said Miles Taylor, one of the organizers. Taylor, while serving in the Trump White House, wrote an anonymous opinion piece in the New York Times in 2018 headlined: "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration."

    The group first raised the threat in February, following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters to try to disrupt congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's presidential election victory.

    Do you really expect rational people to believe your fake news bullshit?

    I see you neglected to show me your proof that Economists and historians are predicting worse than 1929 with food riots and all.

    I guess that means that it's all bullshit. But nice try. Maybe a few gullible, naive morons will believe it.

    The rest of us? Not so much.

    The pattern is that Clinton, Obama, and Biden all rolled over and gave the republicans everything they want. Not even Sanders used the filibuster to stop all the wars and bailouts.

    You fail to accept that both parties are owned by the oligarchs.

    What? What did they give the Republicans, besides a free pass on accountability?

    Well, I don't support the wars, but the bailouts were necessary because Conservative policy destroyed the economy 5 times in 50 years.

    Bailouts is socialism for the rich. It's not that difficult to look up credit card Joe's voting record.

    You were given Hillary and Biden to vote for. Dems couldn't come up with a better candidate so you get Harris in 2023. No matter who you vote for the policies stay the same. Palestine/Israel is a perfect example.

    Both Hillary and Biden got more votes than did Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020!

    i DON'T SEE HOW Palestine and Israel's conflict has to do with AMERICAN POLITICS except that NO AMERICAN PRESIDENT has been able to resolve it- AND IT IS NOT OUR MATTER TO RESOLVE!

    Palestine/Israel is an outpost for US imperialism. The 51st state. Biden admits to being a zionist.

    No mainstream economist or historian is predicting anything like that. Almost no one is even predicting double digit inflation, along the lines of Reagan.

    I don't see that it matters that much. Republicans cannot accomplish anything with just the House and can probably already block the Democrats from anything too crazy.
