Thanks for the note of agreement.
-—————You’re welcome!
TRUMP RE-RUNS
If Trump is impeached, he just reruns again for President. Nothing says he cannot. He would be elected easily.
Say you the GOP voter from a state where these rinos come from, decide to withold your vote for the RINO rat, we may lose a couple of seats, but not losing the house majority.
I am talking about "leaders" like Ryan, McCarthy e.t.c.
You the GOP voter do not need to feel so helpless.
The senate is a different story, but still can be strategized.
The GOP pols - the leadership - are with the Democrats, though they are trying to hide it.
If Sessions and Rosenstein are fired, there will be an acting AG but that person will come from within (very likely DEEP within) the DOJ, there is an order of succession.
Trump cannot appoint a replacement from outside without Senate confirmation.
“it baffles me why any of them register as Republicans”
Well, if you are a swamp creature wannabe and you live in a Republican district or State, you more or less HAVE to register as a Republican.
I wrote this before the election, but it seems timely to re-post in light of current events. What’s going on right now politically looks very much like the phenomenon of transplant rejection in medicine - the swamp is the body, Trump is the transplant.
“The ruling coalition is united around several things that the people are against. They are skilled at setting up phony issues (or issues that don’t concern the Federal government) to break up the formation of any possible other coalition.
Republicans and Democrats agree that the purpose of the State is redistribution. How much, and to whom, and under what circumstances, there are disagreements. But no elected officials of either Party believe that it is wrong to take from you and give to another of their own choosing, for reasons that make sense to them.
Republicans and Democrats agree that you have “rights” - lots of them. They also agree that any question ABOUT your “rights”, or whether or not something IS a “right”, should not be decided by a political process because that is “divisive”. So, they both agree that the voice of “the People” as contemplated in Articles IX and X can only be voiced by nine unelected life tenure judges, and that five of them, at any time or for any reason, can give new “rights” and take away old ones, particularly if those old ones arise out of majority voting.
Republicans and Democrats all believe in “diversity”. They, ignoring completely the results of all social science research on this subject, and contrary to millennia of human experience and wisdom, believe that the more “diverse” our country, its institutions, and any private entities within her become, the more cohesive and productive we will become.
Republicans and Democrats almost all believe in “free trade” and “immigration”. These things are good for various constituencies of both parties while they wreck the economy and the nation.
Many of the People, perhaps a majority, do not believe in any of these things. But in our existing system, captive as it is to the MSM-mandated “process” for choosing two candidates for POTUS neither of whom will change a thing, leaves the People with no voice.
Something’s gonna blow.”
Almost like watching Wrestling entertainment. 😀
A house divided can not stand so they only pretend to be divided. The statements from the Republican Senate Leadership yesterday was beyond belief. We have a half dozen James Bakers on our hands and the rank and file care about as much as the vaunted FBI rank and file.
Well, one part of that is correct, but you have to eliminate the "RINO" concept from your thinking process to see the way forward.
Ryan, Romney, McConnell, Bush, Corker, Flake, Burr, McCain, Graham and the rest of them - these ARE the "real Republicans". They represent EXACTLY what the Republican party is and always has been, at least since 1928.
If you are still registered as a Republican and your stomach turns when two million people in Times Square sing "Imagine" to greet the new year, YOU are a "Republican in name only".
The biggest and greatest "Republican in name only" is Donald John Trump, who probably didn't give a single thought to the GOP in his whole life until he identified it as a hostile takeover target sometime in 2014.
Trump's margin of victory unquestionably included registered Democrats in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.
Why he did not, within six months of his inauguration, denounce the GOP as the hostile, globalist, anti-American force it is and recruit candidates for November 2018 who would support MAGA is a mystery to me (except that he had a lot on his plate in January-June 2017).
I'm sure he thought of the GOP like any other company that had gone through a hostile takeover - fire the board and the managers will line up to take new orders to move the business forward.
Sadly, as we now see, this was a mistake, perhaps fatal.
He could do a recess appointment.
I agree with your comments.
One thing to add is that if all the Republicans who were Leftists registered as Democrats, we’d get actual Conservatives into office.
By diversifying their numbers, they can control both parties.
Yes I agree with your wrestling analogy.
I agree with the rest of it as well.
Some of my stuff is fake but accurate the rest of it is accurate but fake.
We agree 99% of the time in fact we only had one disagreement that I can recall but not the topic. 😀
Hey, don’t confuse me. “:^)
You know, good friends have disagreements from time to time. If we’ve only disagreed once over the years, that actually a pretty good record.
Take care...
