What happens to the Republican Party now? (1 Viewer)

[MT15]

This election nonsense by Trump may end up splitting up the Republican Party. I just don’t see how the one third (?) who are principled conservatives can stay in the same party with Trump sycophants who are willing to sign onto the TX Supreme Court case.

We also saw the alt right types chanting “destroy the GOP” in Washington today because they didn’t keep Trump in power. I think the Q types will also hold the same ill will toward the traditional Republican Party. In fact its quite possible that all the voters who are really in a Trump personality cult will also blame the GOP for his loss. It’s only a matter of time IMO before Trump himself gets around to blaming the GOP.

There is some discussion of this on Twitter. What do you all think?

or yell “first amendment!”
=====================


Rising verbal attacks by Donald Trump and key political allies against a Georgia district attorney and two other prosecutors who have filed criminal charges against the former US president are endangering prosecutorial independence and might spur acts of violence, ex-federal prosecutors and ex-House Republicans warn.

“Trump’s attacks on the federal and local prosecutors who have brought cases against him are unprecedented and extremely dangerous,” Michael Bromwich, the former justice department inspector general, told the Guardian.

As Trump has escalated his attacks on prosecutors who have charged him with 91 criminal offenses, including 17 involving his unrelenting drive to overturn his 2020 loss to Joe Biden, the congressman Jim Jordan and other Republican allies are loudly echoing his verbal assaults, and leading House investigations of key prosecutors……

Trump has proclaimed he’s innocent in all these cases, and charged that the prosecutions are “witch-hunts” to hurt his campaign to become president again.

Former federal prosecutors are raising red flags about the risks to the justice system and the principle of prosecutorial independence posed by the attacks on Willis and other prosecutors by Trump, Jordan and other House allies

“Because Trump never took seriously his oath to protect and defend the constitution, he cannot fathom that prosecutors and law enforcement personnel do take it seriously and conduct investigations and bring charges based on the evidence and the law rather than to pursue enemies,” said Bromwich.…..

The Federalist has decided to attack Taylor Swift for some unknown reason. Why pick this fight?

She’s been encouraging her fans to register to vote and make sure they vote

And they’ve been registering by the thousands

I’m sure it has something to do with that

So they want to alienate hundreds of thousands of new voters?

New voters are young.
What they want is to drag a few hundred thousand of the geriatric voters they killed out of the grave.

Trump tracker threads have been closed so this can go here
===============

By the time superintendent David Smith decided to close Joshua Tree national park on 7 January 2019, the list of problems was already long. Tire tracks wove through the wilderness mapping a path of destruction where rare plants had been crushed and trees toppled. Charred remains of illegal campfires dotted the desert, and historic cultural artifacts had been plundered. Trash piles were growing, vault toilets were overflowing and park security workers were being pushed to their limits.

It was week three in what would become the longest shutdown of the US government, and the famed California park was feeling the consequences of operating without key staff, services and resources.

To protect the park and its workers, it would have to close, Smith thought.

But the Trump administration, which demanded national parks remain accessible throughout the shutdown, wasn’t willing to change course. In a controversial move, David Bernhardt, who had only recently been appointed acting secretary of the interior, called Smith and ordered him to keep the gates open.

By the end of the 35-day shutdown, irreversible damage had been inflicted on Joshua Tree’s ecosystems, its wild, remote landscapes thrust into the political turmoil unfolding thousands of miles away.

Bernhardt’s decision and its aftermath are chronicled in hundreds of pages of emails between park officials, which the Guardian obtained through a records request. The correspondence sheds light on the pressure national parks faced during the shutdown, as well as how political considerations influenced decisions about their maintenance and protection.……..

Acting Secretary. The way Trump blatantly got around Senate confirmation, and put toadies into offices.

The reason they couldn't be better prepared are:

1.) They have no actual evidence.

2.) Comer really isn't smart and doesn't know how to construct a compelling argument in a hearing or otherwise.
