Fear runs deep in the GOP, their leaders know that their defense of the #TFG is dumb. They’re moral cowards for their misplaced loyalty to him. There was no “weaponization of the justice system,” justice was served as it’d been for anyone who’d committed the same crime. Pres Biden had nothing to do with the trial. Former ‘prominent’ Senators befouled themselves. Apparently they believe the RNC can’t nominate someone other than the #felon bc of his loyal voters. #GOPLiarshttps://newrepublic.com/post/182122/susan-collins-dumb-trump-defense-gops-sickness
"The justice told Fox News that his wife hoisted the flag in response to Ms. Baden’s vulgar insult. A text message and the police call — corroborated by Fairfax County authorities — indicate, however, that the name-calling took place on Feb. 15, weeks after the inverted flag was taken down."
Many Republicans are mendacious & lawless, esp. #TFG. But this deceit, perpetrated by the MT senatorial candidate, should be disqualifying:
Sheehy’s latest account of his arm wound is one of several differing descriptions he's given of being shot while deployed. In his 2023 memoir, he wrote -received multiple bullet wounds in AF. In another -his body was hit by a bullet just once & lied to a park ranger *cited for illegally discharging a weapon in a nat. park.
Steve Garvey is the quintessential Trump candidate, he's a washed up "star" who owes money to many creditors, including the IRS & state of CA. He's a womanizer who was always a big spender. Garvey & #TFG are mega grifters.
CA Senatorial candidate, Garvey, per the Sac Bee, owes $350K in back taxes. Republicans don't vet their candidates bc there're always skeletons in their closets.
Garvey's debt problems have been known for years. From 2006:
The depravity of another Trump sycophant twisting someone’s personal story to smear Biden for their own political gain was beyond despicable. #KatieBrittResign
Most, but not all, unethical MOC are GOP, but the poll didn't incl. that fact:
MOC are last when it comes to their perceived honesty & ethics, acc to a new survey, which has evaluated various professions on these measures. The ratings are from a Dec poll that asked roughly 800 US adults to rate 23 professions.
Given that #TFG is the frontrunner to be the R presidential nominee, who most R MOC support, future polls may show no faith in MOC. Rs-already at 2%.
Bush did the same because he knew the Iraq war was BS.
Of course I know Democrats do this and have done it, but not for war and war goods, I don't think
"Christie was the last high-profile GOP contender who was fighting for whatever remains of the soul of a Republican Party that, for all intents and purposes, has evolved into an authoritarian cult of personality with Trump as its center—posing what the former governor described as a real and present threat to democracy and national security."
@wdlindsy The article was written before Christie was revealed to be disingenuous, like the rest of his party:
Chris Christie is courted by "No Labels' group for 2024 3rd-party pres. ticket.
No Labels expressed interest in tapping Chris Christie to run on its 3rd-party pres. ticket, a day after Christie ended his 2024 campaign for the GOP nom.
Have #MAGA House Republicans gone too far for 'moderate' Rs?
Vulnerable HSE Rs aren’t thrilled about Stefanik’s #J6 hostages remark. Many: distancing themselves from it -a sign that being associated with pro-insurrection sentiments is pol dangerous in swing dists. While commentators often assume the prosecutions of #TFG are only driving the GOP to unite behind him -plausible as his legal travails grow more serious -ensure: divisions grow deeper.
In 2018, Cruz didn’t take O’Rourke’s campaign seriously -nearly cost him his seat. He seems unworried about his 3rd campaign so far. He'll attack his opponents as disciples of the Biden, racist CRT theorists, open-borders... The hope for Dems this year is that Cruz is just as unlikeable—& vulnerable. Dems, incl. Allred & Gutierrez: laying the narrative groundwork to convince voters that he's a craven extremist... But Texas is...
