The American Politics Thread

^ No, that makes 3 anti-trump republican groups. I notice this group has Michael Steele on board.

  Now, this is maybe a summary of American politics: accusing each other instead of looking for common grounds and solidarity!

No problem. But for the record, it was all Jd's fault. He made me do it.

^ Yes, there is a new one started by William Weld and a former governor of Mass. I forget the name, but they are actively supporting democrats against trump endorsed candidates.
I would not be real surprised if the Bush-Cheney crew try to subvert trump as well.

I predict that conservatives opposed to trump will start a third party to purposefully split the conservative vote. There are already republican splinter groups trying to stop trump endorsed candidates in congressional races.

No doubt Boebert is following in the footsteps of her hero, who gave us such pearls of wisdom like raking the floors of the forests, windmills cause cancer, the airports of the Revolutionary War, the moon is part of Mars, that Hurricane Florence was the wettest "from the standpoint of water," needing voter ID to buy cereal, exercise depletes the body's reserves of energy, injecting people with light and disinfectants, "person, woman, man, camera, TV," flushing toilets 10 or 15 times, the number of people at his inauguration, when he met with the president of the U.S. Virgin Islands (which is him), the border wall he was building in Colorado, nuking hurricanes, among others. The dumbest four years of my life, and it appears more years to come thanks to his protégés.

Re Boebert: The implication that only 'liberals' favor gun legislation is purposefully manipulative. The idea that all people can be divided up into two neat little camps of thought is lazy thinking and childish. Most local police departments favor gun legislation and these people are hardly what I would call 'liberals'. On the other hand, there are plenty of left wing types that see unfettered gun ownership as essential to prevent an oppressive government.
Anyway, regarding her ignorance of recent events, or past events, no big surprise there.
