People on these threads give too much credit to the Republican Party. I've witnessed a few times when the Republicans held the Presidency and the Congress and did they do anything of the sort that meets the party's mission? Not at all. When they have the power they do not reduce spending, reduce government, end wars, stop printing money, etc. Even Trump didn't do anything to stop the spending madness. I find the Republicans to be even more despicable than the Democrats. At least the Democrats don't hide their lunacy. The Republicans pretend to be something they most definitely ARE NOT. They are hypocrites of the worst order.
The Dems have a program to scrub the backgrounds of prospective candidates and place them into Republican primaries. I witnessed this first-hand with my congress critter Kiley who seemed like a solid conservative before getting elected and now is obviously a Democrat. This has been going on for decades. So before throwing "Republicans" out with the bath water, just remember a lot of them are actually Dems. What needs to happen is a much better vetting process so we can spot these infiltrators and flush them down the toilet during the primary process. With Ronna McDaniel out of the picture, this will start to tighten up but will take some time.
No, Scott, what needs to happen is we need to get rid of political parties altogether and observe the council of one gorgeous George Washington, who, in his farewell address, admonished future generations to stay the hell away from partisan politics. I despise political parties. Political parties create tribalisms and put the party first over everything else. The result? Just look around. We have become so polarized that very little to truly benefit the Country actually ever gets done. I will always hate and eschew political parties. The Republicans have had their chances and they pissed those chance away in favor of more spending, more debt and more wars.
There would be no RINOs if there were no Republicans. Just saying.
IMHO, the Bushes were Deep Staters. They did not swing the political pendulum back to the Right when in office. Bush 1 despised Reagan, I believe he coined voodoo economics for ReaganтАЩs programs. He also kowtowed to the Dems after promising тАЬNo new taxesтАЭ. тАЬWтАЭ was a total disaster who wanted war and an open border then. We have had a Deep State government since 1988.
Remember too that if any of TrumpтАЩs picks get put down, it will be the fault of RINOs closeted in the Senate. RINO - the Ex-GOP residual that is now a Deep State party member.
Sedge - not sure how to parse this, but India has surpassed China as the most populous country and look at their view on Trump 2.0 - far and away the most optimistic country. What do you think?
Additionally, they've taken over Asians, in academic excellence, who for years were the most highly educated cohort.
The republican party is defunct. Right now, we have the greatest president in my lifetime but, after President Trump, we're back to the same corrupt tool career politicians. Brown-nosing asswipe DeSantis, Peter Thiel's tool J.D.
You are quite correct that Donald Trump promised to balance the budget last time- and then proceeded to sign off on- not once veto- 4 consecutive TRILLION dollar deficits. But he did try to garner some populist-cred by hanging the portrait of a man who did in fact balance 8 straight budgets and leave the U.S. $0.00 In debt when he left office: Andrew Jackson. A man who, unlike Trump did not take millions from the crypto industry and then pander to them (Jackson would be rolling in his grave at the mention of "digital currency"- and so should everyone here.
That's true, Andy Jackson is the only President in history to pay off the national debt. If Andy Jackson hadn't been such an asshole to the American Indians and padded his pockets from the sale of the tribal lands he stole from them I would say he was a great President. He was the first President who used the Presidency to enrich himself to the point of being a very very wealthy man. But he did pay off the national debt.
What was stolen from them? Why is the US theft and Constantinople is just a battle lost? The Colonists won a battle (several battles) across a vast, untamed continent and were magnanimous enough to give the losers their own lands to build casinos and sell cigarettes.
Andy Jackson was pretty good at bringing various indigenous tribes to the table, working out a treaty and then re-negging on that treaty. Knowing the land under the tribal ownership would suddenly become available he'd swoop in, buy the land up on the cheap before anybody else could do so and then sell the land for immense profits. Just ask the Cherokee Nation about Andy Jackson.
Some of them weren't defeated in battle. They came to the table and pursued peace by way of treaty and were then betrayed by the Jacksonian government.
Face reality... the Repubs, the Dems, the Communists, the Capitalists, and any others in this category have done nothing but made a total mess of this country and our world. They all need to be erased and replaced with honest, constructive, survival-oriented groups.
Yes, and the Republican Party late Capitalists.
Don't sell the Republican Party short, they are also the party of closeted, compromised fairies.

Very good observation. A RINO mill!!!

There are two parties in DC right now. MAGA and the Deep State. Dems and GOP are so pass├й.

And there are two MAGAS, the good one and the MIGA one the I standing for Israel and/or India.
Anyone know why India is in such ascendance? It's suspicious.

New Info says that the average Indian IQ is 78 not 85 as previously reported.
A beastly people with a beastly religion. India is the most disgusting nation in the history of the world.
Not Haiti?
Yes, but with over a billion people, the tail region of the distribution encompasses a lot of people.

We need an Alex Jones / Candace Owens ticket.

They had to be defeated and dispossessed. We wouldn't be here otherwise. Life is War of one kind of another.

Nancy Graham comes to mind.
There are too many to name. Remember when Larry Craig took a "wide stance" in the bathroom?
