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.

That's why I like our political system (not that it's perfect by a long shot). More of a balance. The simplest, most stable structure is a tripod. Three points of contact. But it is funny that the Liberal party is now the centrist party to the other two extremes.

Like these guys? A Conservative group called The Lincoln Project. They constantly run ads like these. Are there others that do this kind of thing that you know of?

^ 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.

Sorry Steve, apparently your posts were doing something with the top buttons, so I had to remove that long Bill Maher/CNN post, even though I am a fan of Maher and completely agree with what he says.  He was right in 2017 when he predicted the insurrection, and he'll be right again unless something is done.

Nothing personal Steve.  But that was all I could do to fix the problem.  Maybe you could just post a link to that article?

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

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

JD does have that effect on people, but then he resides in Canada which is conveniently placed above the US so that we can control the puppet strings better from up here as we direct (in secret of course) the comedy-drama-tragedy taking place.  Go ahead, blame the Canadians.  We'll say "I'm sorry" and it will all be okay again.

Well folks, once again that stupid 5hithead #DJLancedButtBoil has put his really big brain to work.
His latest quote re: Colin Powell's death.

"Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement released Tuesday morning. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"

Seriously, this is a direct quote.

I'm sure that many people will say nice things about Trump when he's gone. (While pissing on his grave.)

I know this is old news but I just wanted opinions about this. There is this song I found on youtube called Trump sucks. I won't post it here but you can look it up. Anyway, I commented that this musician (Alex Scolnick) do one that addresses the insurrection. Some guy who is probably a Trump supporter responded with this comment: "Or maybe after Biden gave the Taliban a brand new Army and Airforce. Then killed a couple families with drone strikes all after being responsible for the deaths of 13 Marines all before the millions of people hes letting flood into our country via the southern border!!!??? oh yeah that would have been a humdinger of a song. We would call it "Biden sniffs little girls and murders families."

So anyway, I'm just wondering if there's any truth to that. The only thing I know is that it was the military that made that mistake. I don't think Biden had anything to do with that. Those mistakes are the result of the higher ups in the military(the generals etc) and not the president afaik. I can't really speak for the rest of this person's comments though.

Just more right wing bitching, whining and complaining.
Yes...there are facts in those statements and yes...the spin they try and put on it is BS.
But they always forget to mention it was #CoupmanderInChief who set the deadline for exit from Afghanistan, and it was much sooner than Joe wanted and ultimately did. Much of the military equipment was rendered useless by various means and no they didn't leave an air force. the thirteen deaths were an extreme arm of the Taliban (if you can imagine such a thing) that gave the US a big FU as they headed for the door. the drone strike was a very unfortunate failure of intelligence that cost civilian lives. Just one of the many side effects of war.

why did we have to leave tho? i mean, our men were rarely dying, it was a very easy occupancy. now that we are gone the taliban are doing so many terrible things to the people there, i dont know why we couldnt have just stayed there and protected them.
