The conspiracy was no theory.

I was the same. My first thought was “you have to be kidding”. Once I learned to listen to what he said instead of how he said it, I knew he was my candidate. I love that man! He was and is the right man for these times. He’s not a slimy smarmy politician that panders. He says it like it is. We need that now more than ever.

I fear you are right.

Garland should never have been confirmed, as I believe he now has it in for all conservatives as he is bitter over not getting the SCOTUS nod. I am no fan of Mitch, but he called that one right, I will give him that.

Democrats have a long history of using the court system to destroy Republican candidates or those in office. Does not matter what the verdict is, the damage is done. Tom Delay being the classic example.

-- Truth divides the wheat from the chaff. --

Having to take a stand does that. Pick a direction, pick a side, make a decision vs. rendering an opinion that has no effect on reality.

Congress is a totally failed institution. It is responsible for so much, yet takes "credit" or is assigned responsibility for close to nothing.

POTUS run on legislative agenda.
Inflation is blamed on POTUS or the FED (but in fact created by Congress)
Lockdowns and vaccine mandates were by an agency (created by Congress)
Judges that maintain political prisoners can be removed by Congress.
Immigration reality is responsibility of Congress - it could declare war on Mexico for allowing invasion
Natural resource exploitation (drill, baby, drill) is under Congress. Delegated power.
Plenty more ... tax policy for one.

Congress has devolved to being a safe house for corruption and the enabler of national looting. "Political donations" they call it. Policy is set by the bigger donors. Elected peeps are puppet actors singing the song written by somebody else.

Nearly all the federal overreach is instigated by Congress. "We're here to pass laws and control the outcome" they say. Then blame other for what they wrought.

Congress is subversive of the Constitution. It has run the USA into the ground, sold us out.

You and me both. I did not trust Trump because he came from New York and moved in Liberal circles. The press also appeared to be pushing him early on.

Now, I understand it was because he talked straight and they thought he would scare off a lot of squishy swing voters, which he did.

We will have to decide how we shall live. On our knees, begging for scraps, or stand tall and live short.

Liberals, Republicans, media have spent six years destroying him every day, investigation after investigation, daily lies, two impeachments, stolen election, pandemic, J-6 hearings. The WARRIOR has fought every battle imaginable, seventeen months after, he is still WINNING.

THEIR preferred candidates would have FAILED (and did).’

FAILED or done the same job that CornPop is doing, only at a slower pace and done it while blaming everyone but themselves and asking for 2, 4, 6 more years so they can get it right the next time?

Exactly. An awful lot of people perfectly happy living on their knees begging to be liked.

Roe was killed, mostly, by the Bushes and a stubborn, gambling Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg.

None of us were super-impressed with Trump's picks in general. But definitely, he and Mitch deserve credit for taking the opportunity that fell into his lap. However, without author Alito, the ever-inspiring Clarence Thomas and pig-headed lib Ginsburg, it would not have happened.

Buzzy assumed first female Prez, Hillary, would replace her. Selfish and arrogant political gambler.

I like Rand Paul and DeSantis, but they have one VERY BIG FLAW... THEY are not TRUMP!

Trump WON in a historic LANDSLIDE in 2020.

He will WIN in an even Bigger landslide in 2024. So BIG that even with cheating, they won’t be able to stop him.

Yet Trump brought about the end of Roe. That is something every prior Republican decidedly couldn’t do or refused to do.

Let's not forget that the Roe v Wade decision was authored by an SC justice appointed by a Republican. Republicans have a long and tiresome history of betraying their conservative supporters, of telling conservatives what they want to hear while laughing at them behind their backs - Trump finally broke that record, and for that many Republicans will never forgive him.

I laughed watching Trump ride the escalator down to announce his candidacy, waving with that pleased with himself grin on his face. “Oh THIS guy” (is running for president) I said out loud to the room. I settled in to enjoy the comedy and a break from the hell that passes for politics in America. I wasn’t laughing when he finished speaking. Asked if I thought he had any chance I said, out loud to the questioner, “If he sticks to what he just said he can win this thing.” I didn’t think he would stick to what he said. I guessed he would be destroyed under an endless blasting of media rage. But he doubled then tripled then quadrupled down on his word…then he won this thing.

<< habituated ..conservatives into defending corruption and abuse of power. >>

Hmmm…Can’t seem to recall conservatives defending vaccine and lockdown mandates, election fraud, and essentially eliminating our border. …for starters.

Carney is one deluded fool.
