Tech Does the forum has the budget to buy a keyboard with lower case for MARIS

It does. Will be coming off tomorrow. And, no, I won't be making donations of any kind to planned parenthood.

 

Easy to say(?) Look, I've already said I won't be voting for him ever again. What are you looking for....protests in the streets? Letters to my fellow Conservatives? What?

 

Hold your party leaders accountable...I've said this already....stand with the truth...put a spotlight on what is maybe the most dangerous chapter for democracy in our national history and stop chuckling away the seriousness of the attempted coup....Trump is still spouting the big lie and your republican leadership currently is guilty of a major cover up..it's obvious..it should outrage you more than tipping a waiter who is trans or the homeless in San Francisco..when you start a thread and support Liz Cheney's efforts...you'll gain some respect. As it is....swept under the rug by your whole party with the."moved on" bullshit ...dead Capitol Police officers have moved on too...unfortunately for their families, not on earth. This is the number one issue to resolve for the health of American social structure and it starts with you.....sure, write your congress person, write your senator, make a noise...Liz Cheney is brave enough to jeopardize her political career for the truth...she needs your support. Cut and paste some truth for a change and not some sensationalized propoganda

 

no pardon then

 

I really don't think Trump is that powerful anymore. I see the Jan 6th hearings doing some major damage to him. Will he serve any time? I doubt it. I think he'll be rendered inconsequential, though.

 

I can live with that.

 

oh? There are only a few republicans that are willing to hold him accountable...your minority leader is shielding him just like all those who conspired to overturn an election and are still heads of your party...it's bigger than Trump..he is a figurehead but the McCarthy Mark Meadow, Clark, Jordan, etc crowd were conniving enough to lie for him and still do..it's your party's power structure that wants Trumps voters...if that means being bigoted to them it's worth it to have power back. Deal with your party and hold them accountable....you are part of the damage control...thinking it's no big deal will not fly this time around.

 

Meanwhile, what are the Democrats doing about this? Who are your up-and-comers? You can talk about accountability all you'd like. But, who are you going to replace the problem with?

 

They are holding your party leaders accountable...but not just them....also Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger....I will talk about accountability to every republican that wants a healthy America again...you have to weed that garden before you plant new seeds...your party is polluted to the core and getting traitors out of our democratic representation is the first priority for all citizens who want a peaceful harmonious society.. .fuck up and comers....I'm talking about deeply ingrained liars that are here today...I named a few...you need to point the finger at them as well and join in the fight for actual real attainable truth....you have shown zero empathy for the problem you had a part in planting into our govt...when you do I'll cheer for the effort ..until then...I don't want to hear about whataboutisms....I want to hear about accountability with bipartisan support. Unlike what Rudy said...the truth is the truth. If more than a dozen republicans had impeached Trump the first time around, Jan 6th would have never happened and Joe Biden probably wouldn't be president today.

 

As far as I know, this accountability is achieved via the voting stiles and justice systems.

 

Interesting you mention voting....seems that overturning the vote with lies was a pretty big part of why they're being investigated and then redistricting minority voting access follows....what we need is equal and fair access to voting everywhere...not just in the red districts. Your party has been working hard to make it difficult to vote....when the mail order ballot works seamlessly in Oregon...sort of debunks the idea that voting is going to solve corruption...it should...but not when a president is demanding governors find more votes. Hopefully the committee will shine a big light on this bullshit narrative that the election was stolen and there's very little that's more important in today's America than regaining trust in democracy..

 

I 100% agree with this and Strongly believe it starts with campaign finance reform.
Until then?

 

As I mentioned, I fully departed the Trump camp soon after the election, when he began all the election-was-stolen tripe.

 

Riverman is dropping some truth in this thread.

 

The official republican party has not though. They still support overturning a legitimate election. They are still actively gaslighting everyone with whataboutism and trying to convince everyone that Jan 6th was no big deal. They don't want accountability. I'm not sure everyone realizes how close we were to losing our democracy in January. And your party still supports that as a whole. Start there. Remember, the RNC's official position is that January 6th was "legitimate political discourse".

The Republican party as is, is dead.

 

What, with my local Representative?

 

wow, oh wow you're back.
