 These Republicans who impeached Trump face tough primaries on Tuesday
by Chloe Folmar - 07/30/22 3:06 PM ET

Three of the 10 Republicans who voted to impeach former President Trump last year face tough primaries on Tuesday, competing against Trump-endorsed challengers in crowded fields.

So far, four of the 10 have opted to retire, two have overcome primary challenges to get to November and one did not. Since leaving office, Trump has wielded his power against the Republicans he thinks crossed him.

Tuesday’s races feature two lawmakers from Washington and one from Michigan and are expected to be closely watched as yet another test of Trump’s influence with GOP voters.

May they all  lose their seats.
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.

Is it REALLY about Tumpy though?

I ain't no fan of Tumpy, but I wouldn't vote for ANY of these jokers because of their support of the charade. Obviously and provably a witch hunt - And they are on the wrong side of that monkey business.

Tumpy is incidental to the point.

Just curious @roamer_1   is there a backstory to why you're wedded to the exclusive use of the word "ain't"?   

Please share (if you can) --- it must be a hoot.    happy77

@Right_in_Virginia

Transition? There was no transition.

But I have noticed your frequent attempts to disqualify me because of my use of language - This is not the first time.

And why would it be a 'hoot' as to why I would use such a common word? Up in here, and I would wager, across rural America, 'ain't' is far more likely a word than any alternative.

Yep. Those are the kind of folks we used to smile and wave at when they got that badly needed quart of oil out of the empty can at the full serve lane, for the low, low price of seven or eight bucks...

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.

Probably a jeer. Come to think of it, we never said it TO the teacher.

Whatever it is... I consider 'ain't' to be part of normal parlance, and requiring no correction. Heck, even most gals I know say 'ain't'.

@Right_in_Virginia

Aw c'mon RiV... It was a poke. And it was purposeful. Otherwise it would have no purpose at all.

But that's alright. And I'd forgive you if there was anything to forgive.

As far as pokes go, it was sharp, and pointy, yet subtle and well couched... Artfully done, and I can appreciate that. That's part of why I usually enjoy our occasional but ongoing repartee.

And a full step higher than the lumbering insults provided by some around here... And you don't get pissy about it when you catch a return volley.  So it's all good.  :beer:

What is interesting though is why you chose to lay it against the comment I made here - granted, I am no fan of your prince... But failing that forever fealty that you would prefer in me, at least I was on the right side of this thing, denouncing those who participated against him, engaging in the witch hunt...

I would have thought that satisfactory - At least a point of common ground.  :shrug:

Yet... *POKE*

Well, isn't ain't that something?  :laugh:

Something tells me I'm going to regret this, but I'll try to explain.  I've no objection to the word "ain't", grammatically or otherwise.  The word has the potential to add emphasis to a comment. 

Think of someone standing up and saying "it ain't happening" --- one gets the message that he's serious.  Sen. Kennedy from LA is a master of this technique.  You just know when he's going add "ain't" to his closng statement ----- like a fist punch making his ridicule all the more powerful.  He doesn't do it all the time.  He saves it, and his timing and impact, thus far, have been impeccable.

But, your use of "ain't" is exclusive ---- and this is unusual and what has caught my attention.  So, I figured there had to be a backstory to this.  And let's face it, my friend, your backstories are frequent and colorful --- from standing naked in front of your open refrigerator in the middle of the night, to sharing the wonders of life with your lady friend outside under only a tarp, to fixing a 30 year old pick-up truck with a matchbook cover and spit.

I was simply wondering about a backstory for "ain't".  I wasn't poking, I was prodding --- as in persuading you to tell the story.  I was expecting something along the lines of:  "First, let me tell you about the time I didn't say "ain't"   :laugh:

But, you've explained there is no story, that this is simply who you are ---- and I, for one, would not try and change that for the world. 

Enjoy your Sunday @roamer_1    See you around campus :beer:

Well now, darlin... Your talent has left me at a quandry....  :pondering:

Part of the fun with you is that  can never quite figure you out... Your ability at word-smithing allows me but two paths:

Either that reply is a beautifully constructed and well thought out dodge - playing to my character, and my love of telling my 'colorful tales' - laid quite deliberately to snag me in the very root of who I am... To walk off from the game, at last, scott-free... Held inviolate...

Bearing in mind of course, that such a machination would be an overkill by an order of magnitude - and unnecessary since I had already indicated that any insult was defused. However, still a sturdy option in your repertoire, worthy of your 'bag of tricks' and ease of play...

Or that was quite likely one of the greatest compliments of my life, spent in passing, with nary a crown thrown.

If it was the latter, then I thank you for the kindness, truly.  happy77

However, I will suppose it to be the former, through no fault of your own - because if it were the latter, it would give me a fat head - And we both know I need no more of that.  :beer:

Likewise, enjoy your afternoon.
And we should end it here, before @DCPatriot comes along to yell, "get a room!"  :laugh:

I witnessed the Logic and Accuracy test of the voting equipment in my County on July 1st.  It was enlightening and it passed.  I verified with my eyes we have no Dominion equipment in our Counting Room.  The voting machines under test were not Dominion.
