Sure it's permitted. You just don't like the fact that dissent from dissent is also permitted. Free speech <> freedom from blowback. assie found out.

I've lived in KY-04 my entire life and closely follow the election results here. There is no way that the turnout legitimately doubled. This was election fraud carried out by the highest levels of our state & federal governments.

I’m currently reading about Thomas Jefferson’s fascination with Ice age animals and Big Bone Lick in Kentucky. He sent Meriwether Lewis on an expedition there to recover bones and later sent William Clark. Daniel Boone was also there. Salt was precious to these early settlers. I went fishing with dad as a little kid on the Licking river. During those early days it was known as Great Salt Lick creek. I imagine they all hated Englishmen!
There aren't many that most of us can look up to now, and there hasn't been for many, many years. The more of these multi-term, RINO, TDS-afflicted fools get primaried, the better.
Among the many things Trump has done, one of the most valuable is exposing the liars and grifters, on both sides of the aisle.
As well as the fact the few times Gallrein did speak, he earned the nickname "Special Ed."
Because according to Democrats, MAGA suporters aren't savvy or educate enough to pull off an election theft.
No wonder the fundraiser struggles at FR these days.
You’re still here.
Ahead in the polls - on what planet??
Or - wait - the same polls you quoted saying Massie was going to win?
AIPAC wins again. NO dissent permitted.
It’s not that weird.
This was a Republican senate primary - there’s a thin Republican majority - the last thing Republicans need right now is a maverick. Massie played this stupid.
Sounds like President and Commander in Chief Trump’s focus on Kentucky-4 motivated people there to vote..
That’s what a pissed off President can do.
End the careers of politicians.
Yes I get it
But this purge and fracturing of the winning coalition is regrettable
“Something is off in Kentucky.”
Something is off inside your head.
“AIPAC wins again.”
Massie had plenty of money too - much of it from a wealthy Jew. But what is your problem with AMERICANS donating AMERICAN money to defeat someone who repeats all the anti-Jew tropes of the psychotic groypers?
The winning coalition is with Trump.
The opposition to Trump has a choice..
Lead, follow or get out of the way.
His mandate from the People is to obliterate and drain.
Massie is getting drained.
He stood in front of the train instead of getting out of the way.
For precise reasons that escape me, Massie chose to become an antagonist to Trump and his agenda. My guess though is that Massie wandered off into the fever swamps by following the will o' wisp of an unhinged sense of principle.
Turnout is one thing, but how much did Massie lose by?
Sure it's permitted. You just don't like the fact that dissent from dissent is also permitted. Free speech <> freedom from blowback. assie found out.
“That man is Jeff Yass, who recently — and indirectly — gave $1 million to a new super PAC that in recent weeks has been advertising in support of Massie’s reelection, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Those records show Yass has set aside millions more in what could potentially be used for additional independent spending to help reelect Massie...
On Oct. 20 Yass contributed a whopping $7.5 million to a super PAC called Protect Freedom Political Action Committee. This super PAC was created in 2017 by political advisors to Paul that for the past five years has gotten 95% of its money (about $35 million) from Yass...
On Oct. 23 Protect Freedom donated $1 million to the new pro-Massie Kentucky First PAC....”
but the destruction of the establishment GOP.
Oh how I pray this be true!
But I fear that not the case.
Whether you call it the establishment GOP, the party elite, RINOs, the Republican wing of the uniparty or my new term TRUE BLUE Republicans, we are talking about the same folk.
GOPe is not being destroyed.
Trump is whacking the deadest wood off the tree of tyranny.
The old guard is fighting so hard because they know once whacked there will be no political future.
Lezzie Cheney, Kinzinger, Cassidy et al have no political future.
Their new found friends in the Marxist wing of the uniparty will give them a few good words and hardy handshake and send them packing.
Fetterman might have an opportunity to go from Democrat to Republican but that opportunity doesn't exist for the dead wood chopped away by Trump.
Trump won because he didn't need the GOPe to execute a hostile takeover of the Republican national ballot slot for POTUS.
He didn't need the GOPe endorsements nor did he need their stinkin' donor base.
The establishment GOP will likely rise again come 2028 because they have a donor base with infinite amounts of cash to burn.
They burned 100 million on Jeb 1.0 and burned more than that on Jeb 2.0 and got virtually nothing in the way of delegates.
Whether it is Rubio, the guy with General Zod beard or Jeb 2.0 that gets the big bucks this time around remains to be seen.
It is likely they will spread some seed money around to hedge their bets until they figure out which one has the most traction.
MAGA may have the power to beat their "chosen" one if a candidate can harness the MAGA enthusiasm.
Much of the credit for Trump's three victories came by way of the amount of MAGA enthusiasm he was able to harness from being ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT.
I will never forget Rush Limbaugh's reaction in the early days of Trump.
Rush was incredulous that Trump was on national TV trashing the yard gnome Karl Rove.
I don't see much if any MAGA DNA in any of the three candidates so oft mentioned on this forum and in Elite Stream Media.
At this point I am putting my hopes on Tulsi Gabbard to step up and harness that anti-establishment enthusiasm.
I know this, she will get a ton of hate not only on this forum but from GOP establishment making the same claims they made about Trump that she's not "conservative" and she's a former Democrat.
I'm fine with that.
The votes that I'm most proud of are the votes for former Democrats named Reagan and Trump.
And the votes for which I take no pride were for life long Republicans and self-proclaimed "conservatives" who committed the ultimate act of betrayal for either voting for Hillary Clinton or not voting or writing in a name but there is no record of Bushes named George claiming to have voted for Trump.
Everyone knows that election fraud is a myth. /s
