So you admit to being a hostage and would rather remain a hostage than break away because of the short term damage you may experience. Pretty cowardly for a group that likes to embrace machoism.

As someone who won the 2006 Time Magazine of the Year Award, I take exception to this.
Zelensky when all is said and done will go by the way of Michael Avennati once the left/swamp does not need him anymore.
Person of the year is supposed to go to the person ‘for better or for worse ... has done the most to influence the events of the year’. It has never been the greatest person award
Man, every Republican candidate is going to be called evil and terrible and scrutinized but Dems vote for candidates like Fetterman. WTF is that? There's no independents out there anymore. They clearly know which side they want and don't want.
The reality is this
- A huge portion of this country are morons. They're low info, emotional voters. These are the people who absorb a headline from CNN, and repeat a talking phrase but can never fully argue a position and are completely unaware of anything that isn't told to them by DNC Media.
- The black population will forever be Democrats. There's nothing that will ever change this. They will never look at who is in control of their communities. They will never see that third world migration affects them more than anyone. Anyone who dares to step away is chided by the group for "not really being black."
- Republicans will never again win the White House. It will not happen. Demographics and mail-in voting has made sure of this. Trump will get his ass handed to him. He's going to run in 2024 and there will never be any chance of winning.
- There is no saving this country. There's nothing left to conserve.
Just looked at their list of recipients. Notable mercenaries such as Hitler, Stalin (twice), Putin, Among others like Mark Zuckerberg, Greta Thunberg, and hey, Elon Musk won it last year when the left still loved him. Donald Trump even won it in 2016 before all hell broke loose on him.
Me too.As someone who won the 2006 Time Magazine of the Year Award, I take exception to this.
I can't find the post now that mentioned the need to run trump because of demonstrated performance. The problem is the voters we need aren't fans of what he demonstrated. Since he won the general, his candidates, and he himself, have been rebuked on every occasion.
Running trump again is 100% guaranteed loss. There isn't even a question.

Hike prices at the stores most affected. They already shut down one in Louisville because it was in a shitty neighborhood and theft was rampant. Walmart needs to go back to their roots and stay out of the inner cities. they got their start by plopping their big stores in rural communities that weren't nearly as ripe for theft.
Twitter is garbage as a legit news source.....But even Musk is turning on your Orange Idol.
Interesting take so please answer this (I’ll be surprised if you respond at all though). Compare and contrast the 4 years under trump vs the 2 under Biden and point out in bullet points ( just a few is fine) how Americans and America in general are better off now than then. How is trump ruining the country today? He has zero power in politics/policy. Most of his policies that were helping the vast majority of Americans have been reversed. I’ll hang up and listen!!!
By dumping, do you mean not voting for him; i.e., Pubs have no choice but to vote for Trump?
I hope by " The problem is the voters we need aren't fans of what he demonstrated" you mean language & eruptions, not policies, because I think his policies were & are well-received by the majority. He & not them are the issue imo.
They think they're better off because they're not dealing with Trump's personal dumbshittery. I.e., not seeing or listening to him is even more important than their economic well-being. Seems stupid, but that is what is happening imo.
Perdue ran for Governor.
He should not have. He should have run for Senate and he would have gotten 50% on election night (probably similar vote totals to Kemp).
What is happening in GA and AZ is bad for America and bad for the long-term viability of the R party.
I realize there are a lot of Republicans who think this.
But when is the last time an R won a critical election that wasn't easily winnable?
Just Trump. I think the opposite of what you think is actually true. ANy R that runs is 100% loss, and/or an R that "wins," is 100% indistinguishable from a loss.
In a few years Trump will be out of the picture. Won’t the Dems just insert Desantis, or whoever, in where Trumps name was in their talking points. Won’t matter if true or not, just Make it all up, go with that.
They doing that already.
What are the options? Waste our vote? vote for the Dem? not vote at all? Dem wins in every instance, thus making all of us worse off.
Like I said, Trump will create a shitshow over whoever challenges him. Desantis included. He will destroy anything in his path.
Can't really argue that. GOP is controlled opposition.
With the White House, the GOP has run these guys the last 30 years.

Republicans are 3-5 in elections after dominating the 80s. Demographics have changed everything. Social media has made propaganda a 24/7 tool that stays with voters all day, every day in their pockets where as their only reach was the TV and newspapers before.
And good luck with this generation ever voting republican and the current young voters because of being groomed and indoctrinated
Yeah, America is done. All that remains is the skin. It's quite a study of how the collapse occurred. Really in no time, America opted for mass surveillance, big government, gave up total control to globalists, and watched as their politicians sold their country out as they helped usher in population replacement.
You'll have pockets left but the ride is over as a whole. This is globalism. You'll have a one-party rule in the White House forever. We'll be slaves to whatever China/UN/WEF wants. There's no stopping the digital currency thing occurring either.
As long as there's bread and circuses, the masses don't do shit.
It is interesting to me that people have bought into the narrative that every Trump candidate has been “rebuked.”
Folks, the Establishment hates Trump, therefore they do not support him or his endorsed candidates.
They sit back while elections are “interfered” with to the detriment of Trump-backed candidates.
Then, the talking heads go on Fox News and say “Trump’s fault” in an attempt to shave off some of his support.
And, of course, it’s working.
They want you to believe that you must support an establishment candidate in ‘24 or the Rs have no chance.
If an establishment candidate gets the nomination, s/he will get the support of the establishment, but others will stay home.
It’s a nasty thing that is unfolding and those who fall simply for the “blame Trump” narrative are some of the biggest sheep in the world.
Thanks for the correction; my bad. I agree with the rest of your post. Election integrity is important, but so is running good candidates.
What are your thoughts on GA’s election laws? For all the caterwauling by the left, it certainly doesn’t appear there was any voter suppression in this midterm cycle. I don’t like last night’s result but at least the votes appeared to be counted quickly and efficiently.
AZ elections are a shitshow and will likely remain so for the foreseeable future.
It doesn’t seem to matter any more. The crooks go to all the stores now. They just need to hire armed security and shoot a few of them. Of course, they’d then be sued out of business by the crooks family.
That’s one of the fascinating things about Twitter.
You scroll through a myriad of tweets, from “Warnock defeats Walker” to “Cavs defeat Lakers” to “$65 billion to Ukraine” to “$340 million for Aaron Judge”.
It all becomes indistinguishable over time.
People are becoming immune to all of it.
Kind of like Pelosi or any other GOP target for Republicans. The issue with Trump is that he provides all the ammunition to attack him. Taking documents from the White House was stupid just as having dinner meetings with nefarious people and claiming you didn’t know who they were. Nobody has dinner with someone under Secret Service protection without knowing who it is. Trump lies, makes excuses and never accepts responsibility. People see that.
There is a lot of wisdom to this post.
GA appears to have taken some solid steps. However, the RNC did not get fully behind the early voting, which hurt Walker.
Kemp had a machine in place, and he almost carried Walker to victory, but his impact was, of course, lessened a month later.
One issue with Georgia is Libertarian candidates appear to flock there because of the 50% + 1 requirement, allowing them to screw up federal elections in the state.
If you take out that requirement, you likely have fewer Libertarians running in GA and perhaps you avoid the situation you had with Walker last night and Perdue in 2020.
I just want to go on record to say that I don't think Trump or any Republican nominee will win 2024 regardless or 2028.
I don't believe Dems are showing up to the polls in these numbers. I think they simply acquire a shit ton of fraudulent votes in key counties of swing states. We keep playing along while Dems have months to cook up BS in Detroit, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Philly. Nothing is done to stop this main source which will result in Dems winning forever.
Speaking of indoctrination…..
Kirk Cameron is denied story-hour slot by public libraries for his new faith-based kids book
Kirk Cameron, writer and father of six, has a new book for kids, "As You Grow," full of biblical wisdom. But he and Brave Books have not gotten a single "yes" from any public libraries for a story-hour program.
This is NOT how you teach kids. teach kids to be kind to everyone, don't bring them down and villify them. Shit like this causes more to divide us than just being a kind person and treating people how they deserve to be treated. This kid doesn't understand what she's doing right there. She is being coaxed by a virtue signaling adult to do this nonsense.
I bet if he wore a dress and claim Jesus was a homo they might let him in.Speaking of indoctrination…..

Someone’s always done the oppressing throughout human history. So until we change that dynamic everyone wants to be the guy on top. It’s pretty much y’all’s entire conservative guiding principle. You know where ‘left’ and ‘right’ initially came from correct? Those sitting on the left of King Louie XVI during the French Revolution wanted to remove him and spread power amongst the people. Those sitting on his right wanted to keep that power concentrated in him and themselves. You are a Loyalist through and through. Just born in the 20th century rather than the 18th.
I was discussing this @ 2:00 AM on election night.
Given a myriad of factors, AZ, MI, PA and probably WI, appear to be impossibilities for the Rs in ‘24.
The right candidate can still win Georgia and and Youngkin could possibly win Virginia.
That doesn’t cut it.
Well, when I was scrolling through some headlines that popped up on my phone this morning, It said "Warnock defeats scandal prone Herschel Walker in GA Senate race" It's the constant barrage of inserting digs like "scandal prone" or whatever other narrative the lefty media wants to push that does a lot of it. As if Warnock wasn't without his own scandals, but you'd never know it.
Youngkin eeked out a win in a non federal, off year state race with the opposing party in power. No chance in a Presidential race in VA.
The path to the WH for the GOP is narrow in the new VBM era - win the 2020 Trump states and pull it out in GA, AZ, and WI. PA and MI are gone.
That’s the only path.
The media, most of it anyway, are in the tank for the dims. No conservative candidate will get fair treatment from the press. If they cant vilify them, they will ignore them.
