When a CNN reporter asked her about her comments about Pelosi she tried to not answer by asking the reporter if she'd ever apologized for accusing Trump of colluding with the Russians. She basically just became aggressive and kept going round and round never answering the question about Pelosi. There's no way she's going to be able to keep her mouth shut.

He's on public record as talking about it with basically correct pronunciation. Numerous times.

Trump should have been a giant lesson that this style of politician can't be controlled.

Just another example of the lying they're so infamous for. Sean Hannity actually had the gall to say 'Not a single conservative I know' shares Greene's 'conspiratorial beliefs.'

Except Trump. Careful, Sean!

Hopefully the Dems will ensure this loose canon always goes off in the Republican ship.

She didn't get the message that ship sank.

Oh that Qanon. :sdl:

Those aren't conspiracies, those are real. :rolleyes:

So the GOP belongs to Trump.


"Ein Reich, Ein Party, Ein Fuehrer".

But don't dare call it a cult.

According to MTG, maybe. I don't think you can extrapolate that opinion to every member of the GOP.

Hell, Hitler should have shown them that.
Never forget Hitler did not seize power in a coup, he was given it by German conservatives uner the illusion they cold control him. Van Papen, the head of the conservatives even said
"Well, we don't have to worry about Hitler anymore. We just bought him".

Sorry, but the GOP just embraced MTG. They had a chance to if not get rid of her neutralize her and they failed because they were afraid of the Qanon wing of the party.
The GOP of Lincoln, Teddy Rossevelt, Eisenhower and, to a degree Reagen is dead. Sooner the more rational Republicans grasp that the better.
I agree that some here equate all conservatives with right wing nuts.That is wrong. But the GOP is hopeless; though I wish the Lincoln Project well.
I think a new center right party is inevirtable.

It's certainly not unreasonable to think so when the vast majority of Republicans approve of Trump after all he's done.

A post Jan. 6 NBC poll showed 86% of Republicans approved of Trump.

A Politico/Morning Consult Poll taken post Jan. 6 showed 75% of Republicans still approved of Trump.

When so many GOP Congressmembers supported his absolutely ridiculous and outrageous lies about the election being stolen and rigged and refused to acknowledge Biden as the President-elect, don't tell me that it hasn't become the Party of Trump.

Congressional republicans just voted overwhelmingly to protect Trump from impeachment. (House republicans on the articles of impeachment, senate republicans on the issue of constitutionality, which is basically a cover for "let Trump get away with it".)

Among the electorate, Trump left office with > 80% approval among republican voters (and that's after he supported the terrorists).

Ok, technically there may be a small number of anti-Trump republicans, but they lack any significant influence in the party.

So yeah, the GOP does belong to Trump.

That's like Rand Paul today (or yesterday) complaining that the GOP wasn't racist. Is he clueless they supported a racist POTUS for 4 years and there aren't very many of them renouncing the racism within their ranks still.

Clearly Paul is oblivious to or in denial about the racism right in front of his face.

It's amazing how many people are oblivious. There is a guy in another group I belong to who swears up and down he isn't racist but makes racist comments regularly such as "What has a black scientist ever done except invent peanut butter?" and "White people don't riot". That was about a week before Jan. 6. He honestly doesn't think there is systemic racism and he's a Biden supporter and can't stand Trump. I've known him for years. He just doesn't see it in his own racist statements or understand why Black anger boiled over after what happened in Ferguson or over George Floyd's death.

I wonder which version of this is going to catch on. So far in the last day or so, I've heard QOP, GOPQ, GQP, Q-Publicans, and my own creation -- RepubliQunes.

Not that you need help but ask him why he hasn't looked?

Wiki: List of African-American inventors and scientists

It's a long list.

Believe me, I schooled him.

Well, his father befriended a group of nauseating racists, and agreed to put his name on a newsletter they published which regularly printed KKK caliber filth. Then, when people began to call him on this as he was running for president, he lied his ass off and denied he knew anything about it. So, there's that.

It was worse then that. Below is a publicity photo of Ron Paul and Don Black who owns the Stormfront White Action Power Website. Stormfront and David Duke (KKK) donated to Paul's campaigns.

The other image is a tweet from Ron Paul's account that he subsequently deleted. Many extreme right wingers hide behind the "Libertarian" name.

Yes, I'm aware of those incidents. And, of course, Paul played dumb every time.

I have an old friend just like that.
In the moment a list like the one cited, or any bit of factual data that puts a lie to racism, impresses him.
He'll say something like, "See, I always thought there was some hope for their betterment."
The very next day he's back asserting that blacks are genetically inferior in intelligence.

We spoken on this subject for decades, and as the proverbial dog, he always returns to his vomit.

He's known brilliant Black colleagues in his career, but to him they are exceptional outliers.

He's highly offended at being accused of racism, but he's racist to the core.
I gave up years ago trying to expand his consciousness. And in the current American malaise, he's only grown more reactionary and convinced of the "superiority" of White Culture.

I fear that America has too many dogs returning to their vomit.

I wasn't. :eek:

I knew Ron Paul was an extremist libertarian, I must have been asleep for the rest.

Ron Paul is annoying, but even more annoying are his "Libertarian" followers claiming they are enlightened by reading Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, when they have never actually read it and they have no understanding of basic economics theory. They claim that no foreign country should receive USA aid but concentrate on Israel. Stormfront forum posters specifically endorsed Ron Paul.

It is my gut feeling that Ron Paul is simply after money and that's the entire point of his pamphlets and journals.

Ron Paul also supports succession if individual states don't like the Union. .

Actually, I feel he's more than sympathetic to the KKKish far right, as are all hard right "libertarians". But, yes, I agree he's been pandering to the racist survivalist types for decades. Personally, I don't think Lew Rockwell has any non-racist friends.

Funny how those calls for succession were in response to a black president being being re-elected. But Paul avoids any mention of the American rebellion most closely resembling that, of course.

Sorry, but that's one of my pet peeves and two in one post is beyond my ability to overlook without wanting to tear my hair out. :p

he isn't.
he just thinks he is.

Oh, you spelling Nazi you... and darned right too!!!!

No, not spelling...it's a whole other word.

I'll bet you used to get cranky with your students if they wrote "Currant Affairs"

Perhaps mainly because they demonstrate their racism by not writing about black currant affairs.

Well, he had a good raisin to... ;)

Really spelling the beans, here ....

Only those who applauded her.

I’ve been calling them Qunts for ages. I like to believe I coined the word, but I have my doubts.
