Newt Gingrich:

“We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850’s and the rise of secession and civil war,” he said on Fox News. “I don’t mean that as hyperbole.”
“What you are seeing across the country is a desperate, last ditch effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent in a way that not only breaks the constitution, destroys the rule of law and establishes a moment of bitterness which I think will last for a generation or more"
“This is going to be a horrendous period. The people who want to control America and dictate to the rest of us will break any law, lie about any topic and manipulate the system any way they can and that includes a lot of the elite news media.”

And anybody with half a brain will tell you, that is the worst enemy to have.

[Old Yeller]

The ONLY question is: How will the American people react.

Forget it. Football season is starting.

[NautiNurse]

Good point.

[philman_36]

Hey, Newt, you helped them get there.
Why are you complaining now?

[philman_36]

Why no! They might have been thrown in jail, lost their jobs, or worse.....

Right ON! They could take a long walk on a short pier and end up in the tea sea.

Not so sure about that, at least in my circle.
People see what is going on, but don’t know what to do about it.
We saw how voting turned out, in 2020.
We see what happens if you protest.
A predawn raid by the fbi and it’s the gulag or worse for you.
Contacting our congresscritters is worthless.
Even most Republicans are bought and paid for Uniparty members.
You see what they are doing to PDJT.
I think a telling sign is the massive popularity of the song “Rich Men From North of Richmond” by the unknown Oliver Anthony and some by Tom McDonald.

The punishment for treason was to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. Last man to suffer this punishment in England was in 1782! That’s what could happen to them if they had lost. The poor soul did a lot less against England than the Founders.

Sorry I made a mistake. That was not for you.

We no longer have a Constitution to be Governed under. The Republican and Democrat Parties obliterated it when they evicted President from the White House and installed Joe Biden when they executed toe Coup of 2020. Only a Republican sheep would not understand this. The Democrats are aware of it. You can't be Governed by the Constitution one day and not the next. The Republicans and Democrats got rid of it when they got rid of President Trump.

Neither the persecution and prosecution of the Jan 5ers nor the persecution and prosecution of President Trump by perjured testimony and out right lies would be legal under Constitutional Government. And both are happening.

"First, they would have to notice. Would mean pausing video games, lattes and soap operas."

I don't drink lattes.

[Night Hides Not]

Exactly! The politicians in DC are just kicking the can down the road, it all comes crashing down in a few years, when the debt hits $40 trillion and debt service will be twice the annual defense budget.

Everyone's ox will need to be gored, there will be no place to turn.

kicking the can down the road - pride

There's a legacy for ya!

What is your fav soap opera?

[philman_36]

Helter Skelter
¨I Got Blisters On My Fingers¨

[fieldmarshaldj]

I watch the three remaining ones: B&B, Y&R on CBS and GH on ABC (excluding Days, which I got too far behind on, and was moved off NBC). I don’t know if I have a favorite, just depends if there’s an interesting storyline or not at a given time. Can breeze through them all in less than an hour and a half a day without commercials. Beats watching the fake news from the same channels and the remaining execrable “woke” content at night or in the movies.

"Everyone's ox will need to be gored, there will be no place to turn."

=Beijing has entered the chat=

Oh, hi !

[NautiNurse]

I remember watching GH in college. Luke & Laura!

[fieldmarshaldj]

I think I was in 1st grade during that storyline some 43 years ago. Laura is now Mayor of Port Charles and Luke’s character was murdered offscreen in a mountain gondola sabotage.

Other than actor Tony Geary’s age at 76yo, his character Luke has nine lives. Prolly still has a few left.
