Agree, she’s fearless.

Not too much doubt where one stands with her.

My position is that with a critical election looming, now is not the time to be criticizing Trump. We should be showing a unified position about Trump’s re-election. Demonstrate right here to opposition lurkers that it would be a waste of their time to go out on election day, in the rain, stand around in long lines and vote for democrats, Biden has no shot, Trump is crushing it. Your time would be better spent staying at home and grouting your bathroom.

After Trump wins re-election, pick at all the nits you want. Criticize, lampoon, denigrate him, call him poopie head. But, defeating the radical left is top priority right now, not priding oneself at every turn with moral preening.
Thoughtful criticism, even now, is ok. But the ‘aren’t we smarter than Trump supporters’ bit sure does stick in my craw.

That’s the kind of talk I expect from my girl pant wearing, frappacino sipping pinky lifting San Francisco attorney uncle, not from supposed comrades-nearly-in-arms.

NOPE. Since all y'all won't take him to the woodshed, I will keep on preachin.
No way in hell I am gonna let it get swept under the rug. What is actually critical is actually standing for something.

Several months ago, Rudy made some really out there claims that he had information that would turn DC upside down like never before..  I believe Guliani, and maybe some of this is coming to fruition.   A sitting POTUS fearing for his own safety?  This is beyond comprehension.

It's been brought to my attention that it has to do with the intent of President Trump to get the price of prescription drugs down.

It's been a multi-billion $$$ industry and the typical U.S. citizen pays 2-3 times what they do most other places around the world.

If some Trump supporters had their way, no one would be able to criticize Trump at any time.  In this forum, for example, I believe there are some who want to turn this into a Trump-worshiping site like FR.  I'm one of those who fled that other site for that reason.  If this place turns into FR, I'm gone.  Myst has said she won't allow that to happen and I trust our fearless leader in that regard.

So keep on, keeping on.  If some people here don't like what you say, it's their problem, not yours.

In other words, you just won't tolerate anyone who won't tolerate you not tolerating Donald Trump. Got it. I think.

This is the cogent point. When the barbarians are at the gates, you don't bicker about rearranging the China. Nor should you be hiding in your remote tower or wooded cabin smirking and squawking about
 how "this should teach you all a lesson" as the rest of us throw ourselves into holding the gates.

And...again. Its not fearmongering if the threat is genuine. At this point, anyone arguing that it is NOT genuine is either delusional...or...so self righteous they would rather see the nation destroyed than admit to an error of judgement.

And I keep hearing this crap about some of us thinking Trump is perfect, or that we are zombies who dwell on his every tweet. That's self-serving tripe and unworthy of a fellow conservative. We ALL have issues on which we disagree with the President...on some issues we strongly disagree with him. So anyone spouting that drivel needs to just stop. Trump is vastly more conservative then Joe Biden. Trump will not lead a Socialist internal insurrection that will end this country as a free nation...Biden will. That is all any conservative with an OUNCE of intellect needs to know in order to cast a Trump vote.

That's always annoyed me too. The only legitimate excuse I can think of quickly is the liability costs here are probably drastically higher. Most countries don't allow people to sue for hundreds of millions of dollars because of some unforeseen issue.

Actually you don't get it apparently.

No one I know here on the less than pro Trump side is wanting to ban people because they won't tow some party/philosophical line.

That isn't true the other way around and that's the point. FR wouldn't tolerate descent. You are either in or out. Not so here.

And the point being made was that if this place were to go the way of FR they'd leave. And so would I.

Well, I may be a bird of a feather and all but, yeah, I get it.

BTW you know what else they didn't tolerate at that other site? Humor. Perhaps you should reconsider the place.

Who are these "worried" mystery Republican?

I am a Republican,and I am not worried at all. If Trump wins,GOOD!

If Trump loses,that is also good in the respect that I still have my rifle and am still able to carry and shoot it.

Win/Win.
 
As for the alleged "conservative Republicans" who plan on voting for Daffy Duck,who truly represents them,they don't give a damn,either. It's what they want so they can try to justify their "anybody but Trump" insanity.

Win/Win for them,too.

Pharma Talking points were always we were benenvolent and were footing the costs of R & D. Seems there might be a side story to that.

Who believes the rats will allow us to pick up our sword like Westley in Princess Bride & start a new party.

Once down they’ll slit our throat and that’ll be that.

@skeeter

I have ZERO doubt that is their plan,although I am not so sure it is going to work as well for them as they think.

I also know that if anyone asks me for help and they are a known Anti-Trumper,they are in a WORLD of doo-doo cause it just ain't gonna happen. They COULD have helped prevented it from happening,but they didn't because they wanted to be purist prima-donnas. Frankly,I don't care if they live or die.

Agree.  There will be, NO AMERICA.....AT ALL! What is wrong with some people?  TIME WARP?  Too old?  I am 75 myself but try to keep up with reality and facts.  There is NOTHING, after POTUS TRUMP, except communism.  Death. They talk as if we are in our 'same country'.  WE ARENT.  U.N. will take over and N.W.O.  Slaves to globalist.  They talk about some 'new conservative' party?    **nononono* **nononono* **nononono*

@LegalAmerican

I am of a similar age and opinion,and the way *I* see it,this gives me a certain amount of freedom in that I have NOTHING to lose if the Dims take over. They are going to try to kill me because I am too old and independent to make a good slave,so AFAIAC,it will be "PARTY TIME!".

After all,it's not like I will have anything to lose.

Never will any other conservative of voting age. The left is going to come after us all with assault teams and chains.

So the reality is none of us will have anything to lose but our self-respect if we don't fight back.

These RINO'S need to be voted out!  Some will be in, till 2022. Re-call?
-------------------------------------------------------------
I don't disagree as to the wisdom of such a law...but lets fully acknowledge that it IS the law that the President is adhering to. It is deeply unethical and anti-conservative for any GOP Senator to oppose the President when he is defending our southern border BY following the law as written.=GOP SENATOR

 12:40 PM - May
Marco Rubio is one of the gang of eight.  4 dems, 4 republican RINOS...Marco Rubio, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Flake.  ALL SUPPORT BRINGING IN ILLEGALS.   Rubio is hispanic and supports hispanics.  RUBIO IS NOT FOR AMERICA. Yes they are all PUKES...  Remember these names, if you are in their state. Most don't come up for re-election till 2022...SADLY.
RE-CALL THEM ...ALL? 
----------------------------------------
The 12 Senate Republicans who voted AGAINST POTUS BORDER EMERGENCY;
 Roger Wicker of Mississippi,
Marco Rubio of Florida,
 Rob Portman of Ohio,
 Susan Collins of Maine,
 Lisa Murkowski of Alaska,
Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania,
 Roy Blunt of Missouri,
 Lamar Alexander of Tennessee,
 Mitt Romney of Utah,
 ****************Rand Paul of Kentucky,
Jerry Moran of Kansas
and Mike Lee of Utah.

@LegalAmerican

It's because of things like this that all I have to say to Rand Paul is "Kiss my big red ass!"

Yes, that's been the claim. More likely it is Big government protecting Big pharma at our expense.

You idiots don't get it.

@Mesaclone

Yeah,they do. They just don't want to admit they are punking out,so they pretend they don't understand what is going on.

Quote
If we lose this election, the country is done. Add 30 million illegal aliens to the vote mix and this country is Socialist for the next 3 generations. There IS no new conservative party. There IS no return to American values and small government. We essentially begin our migration towards a Chinese communist style one party rule..

They know all of this,and they are going to do their damndest to be standing at the head of the line when the Chi-coms are picking their American field bosses so they can be management instead of labor.

Quote
so any dissent you think you can make will simply and easily be squashed.

There is not a nickel's worth of dissent in any of them. That's just the cover they choose to try to fool themselves into believing they are men. If they won't "fight" NOW to maintain America as an independent nation,when it is easy and safe,what the HELL do you expect them to do when it would get their names and faces on a "wanted,dead or alive" tape?



Quote
Anyone dumb enough to think some new and more staunchly conservative party can rise from such a defeat deserves the coming tyranny of Socialist rule.

It's called "Whistling as you walk past a graveyard.

Maybe she did at one time. The vast majority of what I see is just personal vacant snark trying to score a point to demean someone and grinning about it thinking it is clever.

This comment was really weird. With four months before the election.

Actually I think the comment is very concerning.  Perhaps he is contemplating stepping down??  In all honesty, the last couple of times that I have seen him in public he looked tired and just drained.  He addressed the public recently and fumbled on the word "Yosemite" ... not exactly a time to be fumbling when he's calling out Sloe Joe on his mental decline.  He's not a quitter, but think of all that he's been through.  He left a life of absolute luxury for a life of continual insults and accusations on an hourly basis.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The point of all this is that the GOP cannot count on a Trump victory.   Indeed,  it should be planning for the eventuality of a Dem win and what it will take to fight back the next two years.   

My view is that far more resources need to be devoted to the House and Senate races.  That's the firewall that must not crumble.  We need to be prepared to play effective defense because @Mesaclone is right that a total Dem victory will be curtains for our constitutional Republic.   But if Trump loses and we can still block legislation and judges and force investigations of the hooligans,  we can recover quite nicely as early as 2022.

And we may end up a stronger and better party once Trump's in the rearview mirror.
