Didn't know that was the context of the exchange.

It's the first post @catfish1957  :laugh:

There are two types of Conservatives, in the popular mindset. Relative conservatives, who are conservative relative to the people around them, and absolute Conservatives who remain loyal to a fixed set of principles.
Compared to roughly half of those in DC (maybe more than half), he is to the right.

It's like the people at CNN see Lindsey Graham as "conservative" because they are left of Marx (Karl, not Groucho).

Good explanation because I couldn't find a way to call Lindsey Graham conservative but you sure have.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Notice the context and that Lindsey is small 'c' conservative, which means he is to the right of rabid Leftists and called conservative by the MSM, not 'capital C' Conservative, which would mean he'd get a rating in excess of 85-90% (or higher) on principle, and be described as a "right winged extremist" on ABCNNBCBS and their fellow travelers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The President is saying to the Alaska GOP ... get your ducks in a row and primary Murkowski in 2022.  I'll campaign with and for the candidate you choose.

They all know that. They just want to dump on Trump.

   What difference does it make, Trump is what, 0 and 3 on Senate Endorsements?  Mitch runs that club and very badly I might add.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

Indeed he does.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
