The headline here is a twist on a great book about how to not be a participant in your abuse called “Codependent No More“. The message directly relates to something CTH discusses frequently in both articles and in the comments section.
In order to stop being abused, you must first stop making excuses for your abuser. Accept things as they are, not as you interpret them to be. This tweet by Robert Barnes is a great example:
At first blush Barnes is saying something we can all agree with. Yes, Liz Cheney is toxic to the base of support within the republican party; and yes, the GOP putting Cheney into a very visible position of leadership tells us something. However, the visiblity of Liz Cheney is not because the GOPe are stupidly disconnected from their base, Liz Cheney is purposefully visible because the GOPe wants her there. She is a feature not a flaw or mistake; and the GOP totally gets it.
The Republican party believes the conservative voter base of the party is the problem, not the leadership. Please accept that as an empirical fact or we will continue to have discussions that are misinterpretations of motive. From the mindset of the institutional Republican party YOU are the problem, not Liz Cheney.
When you finally accept that the RNC wing of the UniParty hates you, literally hates their base of voters, only then can you begin to break the cycle known as “Battered Conservative Syndrome.”
However, to break this toxic mindset we must stand firm against the abuser. THEY are the problem, not you. THEY work for you, not vice-versa.
The GOP leadership is supposed to represent your priorities, not carry out their priorities while managing your angst.
We The People are being abused by them.
Everything they are doing – they are doing because what they are doing is exactly what they want to do.
The institutional republican leadership are not making mistakes. Accept who they are.
Battered Conservative No More!
If you are a regular reader of this site you are generally a person who engages in intellectual discussion on daily events and more than likely a root cause thinker. Meaning you are able to grasp events at their cause and not at their consequence.
However, for some reason, many of those who understand big picture dynamics are still comfortable sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”. Many people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.
You’d better change that thinking quickly – or you’ll be asking ‘what happened’ far too late.
There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of “I can’t see what’s happening” because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate.
“I can’t see it” just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Right on.
Just had three fellow employees quit. All with multiple young kids and they believe they have hit the lottery this year. These Stimmy welfare checks will be the most money they ever had in one place at one time. On top of that one was bragging about her $12,000+ tax refund she already got. This being after she collected $1,000+ per week in unemployment for 4 months last year.
Money for nothing. Chicks for free!
Can’t see the forest for the trees? Like CA the trees are burning and we’d better realize that the trees are the forest.
Yes, Jayne…………… exactly!
Not to mention the never-ending Cali ?ing, ” Climate change!!” and “We gotta save the planet!” yapping.
~It is BEYOND insulting to all of us; beyond.
Those trees in CA are being deliberately set on fire
Not just opening the border, but letting them free to go wherever they want. No travel tracing, no COVID tests, etc.
What could go wrong with that?
Start saying who cares. And explain to illegals they don’t want to get caught up in this war
well said Sundance.
The GOP leadership are so arrogant that theys imply cannot believe that after so long their time is up.
They have been identified as corrupt and weak leaders and so ditched.
there time is over ,bit they just do not want to admit it.
Their big money donors and voter fraud will not be easy to overcome.
But it will be overcome.
Donald Trump has a HUGE responsibility to select and endorse real MAGA none corrupt replacements for all RINOs.
Murkowski , Cheney, McConnell and the big danger…Rubio
We did everything to help them fight abortion, including WH, Senate, House, turnover of SCOTUS by GOP. Did not get it done. Clearly they did not want to. Need another approach.
Amen.
Need another approach.
Any SENATOR could have objected to Lumpy McConnel never going to recess. NONE of them did. They are ALL Scum. Marble mouth should be forcing Kameltoe to be the deciding vote on every anti American law they want passed. He is the Uniparty so he won’t. Vote with guns next time.
I waited every yr for GOP senators to ditch Mitch from leadership….
People hate to admit they made a mistake or were wrong. Especially these past two generations who think the entire world revolves around them to begin with, and responsibility, accountability are foreign words.
To acknowledge the problem is to also acknowledge, ” I screwed up”, “I made a mistake”. Many are not able to do that.
Just like with an addiction, you can not force someone to change or fix something, until they are darned good and ready to and finally are willing to ADMIT, there is a problem.
Good luck with that in the self centric, Hey… don’t forget about Meeeeeeeeee generation.
So for the first time ever I’m going to post my thoughts without reading the replies.
The GOPe wants desperately to hold on to their pieces of the graft while trying to convince as much of the base that they’re “representative” of Conservative thoughts.
Blech…
There job is to block you from power forever. The opponent of the globe trotters. War war war is coming to your women, your kids.
No freedom exist in places where the word man is replaced with person. The men who would kill and rape women quickly come when a place like that exists ( to kill and take everything)
I live in a state where the dominant majority GOP state legislature officials understand exactly what Sundance stated. We will be about removal of the decepticons and RINOs over the coming years. A couple of decepticons will migrate to MAGA – they are political animals that can survive. Fortunately we only have two Dem HR officials and that is not likely to change any time soon.
By Any Means Necessary…how ‘bot closing DC, politically anyway, by moving every senator & representative BACK to their district, full time. In direct contact with their voters (what a thought, huh). Face Time, zoom with other reps, etc. They MUST write their own laws. Employ local voters as their staff (get rid of lifers or establishment pukes from DC). Just for fun, ‘ya know’. Who knows. Some good old common sense might work better. I know, many other issues will arise, but is was fun to write it.

I suspect “Zoom Meetings” can be held while in Kansas… Yes
Prolly….
Arkansas
California
North Dakota
Michigan…..
Too
DC was chosen back in the day because of it’s location on the Eastern Seaboard and relative “Closeness” to the then major population centers.
It’s now 2021..
Perhaps…
Time for a change of scenery.
Leave the monuments, buildings and history…
And let’s get back to the States.
Out of sight is out of mind.
And when a politician is out of sight…
The chances are Purdy good… these days
They’re up to no good…
?
Or out of the country on a junket
Or laying around on a beach in Cancun
Or making business deals in the Ukraine
Or buying another Castle
Or laying unconscious from a drug overdose in some hotel room
Or…
Join me in the fox hole…..which will happen, I’m afraid.
Did the Constitution actually make federal senators? Seems smarter if the fed Senate meant 2 reps from the state senate
Originally Senators were selected by the state legislatures because, in theory, the Senate represents the states. That changed with the 17th Amendment so that Senators were to be elected by the people of the state by popular vote. We’ve been going downhill ever since.
Ty I understand fully now.
Whatever year they did that amendment would have to be near a central bank creation.
Unbelievable, just looked it up. Both to the exact damn year. 1913
Woodrow Wilson is on my short list of worst Presidents.
Once elected, President Wilson obeyed his dark masters and enacted unprecedented changes to our great Constitution. In that single year of 1913, President Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act and the Revenue Act of 1913, chaining all future Americans to the dual horrors of the FED and the IRS. In order to make these acts binding and appear legitimate to Americans, President Wilson pushed through congress two Constitutional Amendments: the 16th and 17th Amendments. These two amendments remain in our Constitution like a malignant cancer destroying the once healthy body of our great nation. The year 1913 stands as the year that America changed forever and the seminal year in Federal Reserve history. It is time to repeal these amendments, and right the wrongs that Wilson did to our great nation.
President Wilson knew what he did was wrong. After serving the dark forces, he would later lament in his diary, “I have unwittingly ruined my country.
That’s the same year a local Large banking family in the midwest was established as well. They are now billionaires who don’t appear on the forbes, or bloomberg list, how convenient. LOL
Amen, amen.
Good IDEAS !!!!
It was in the putrid reign of Georgius Bushglobious the First that I lost all respect for the Repubs and quit voting for them.
I will no longer crawl over broken glass or hold my nose to vote Republican again.
Nor I. I have done that for the worthless POS John Cornyn for too many elections. No more!
Everybody here that talks about primarying RINOs while the CIA controls election outcome is hoping for flowers and chocolates…again…
Yup.
It.will.not.happen.
The gop is in permanent uniparty mode and they will not be moved.
Hoping that ‘primarying’ some bad apples will magically turn the rino gop into MAGA is delusional wishful thinking.
This wishful thinking vastly underestimates the scale and extent of rotten rino gop at local state and national levels. It does not reflect the reality of the election that was just stolen from the American people.
I don’t think that fence around the Capitol is coming down.
Lol…wow an open border in a COVID world while Americans are under or unemployed and a fence around the Capitol.
American citizens are not appreciating what has happened to our govt system.
The prez election was just stolen.
The supreme court did not protest and rejected attempts to stop it.
The uniparty has declared de facto martial law in DC and walled themselves off.
There is no one at the helm. We have a shadow govt being run probably by obozo jarrett and rice.
Fed govt agencies are almost fully dysfunctional.
Talk of ‘well get em in 2024!’ or of just transforming the entire gop to MAGA in 2 or 4 years do not appreciate the scale or depth of this govt overthrow.
Talk of voting out bad apples is like looking for a band aid to apply to a severed limb.
IMO You are hanging with the wrong crowd.
I’ve read in here and elsewhere, where disgruntled grass root people (who now post/tweet/gab/comment/toot) have started attending local GOP functions and actually taking up positions.
May I suggest you follow their example.
Talk is cheap!
So is ‘the crowd’ you apparently speak open to one way of thinking only? No slightly differing viewpoints allowed?
You were appointed the boss when, exactly?
I thought the site welcomed open and civil discourse. I dont believe you are the site administrator.
You are a bully who wants to muscle out anyone you dont agree with.
I have seen polls that say 70% of the American public would be open to a new 3rd party.
I have worked downtown DC for 25 years and seen it up close in detail. Your credentials sir?
So my talk is cheap but your exalted talk is not. Right.
You need to offer some substance other than ‘scram I dont agree.’
https://theprecinctproject.wordpress.com/category/becoming-a-precinct-committeeman-step-by-step/
YES I’m doing that! But hardly anyone else on this board is.
Y’all are just content to be keyboard warriors contributing just about zero effort to the cause.
Get off your ass please! We need everyone contributing.
Accepting the implications of the unAmerican and unConstitutional behaviors will crush many, to digest how blind, stupid, useful idiot I was fo so long was a difficult pill to swallow, but to have Trump running and winning make it easier, this time people don’t have that to cushion the blow, the easier thing is to don’t look and pretend that in 4 years we can change things as we used to, those people will have a big depressing surprise. I want to DO something about it, I just don’t know what. For now, keep informed, waiting for something, someone to give us the go. Ready to donate, support fellow MAGA leaders.
Mark my word. This nation is on the precipitous edge of invasions. There is nothing to stop it in place. The border is proof DC has sold out the Republic!!!
Exactly, I’m starting to make progress showing explaining this to people. It’s so blatant that when the deceptions come on outraged people can see they are only outraged when they have no power but not so much when they do have power.
You will be defeated by the 50 – 49 legization of illegals.
The defeat will be shortly lived in states with governments that respect them.
National guard will be vetted and replaced with fighting age newly legalized illegals as a private army.
How could you defeat this? Beat it? Survive it?
The answer to those is a big fck you to the traitor class and a quick cleansing of this land.
They failed their first step required to win. Texas grid Down fail. ( Think of Patriots kicked out, paid nothing, but just doing what’s right)
The squat, dirty, diseased invaders bleed, too. Make it so.
I tell females ( always the first natural one to mix) to tell their friends they do not want to be in between this dispute. Plenty of spoils to split after. They get it
The immigrants vote Republican eventually. Most are pro-lifers. I’d suggest just trying to speed up that evolution. On the other hand, your approach is a guaranteed loser, solid gold guaranteed loser.
We have been told that for years, Californians know this bit of conventional wisdom might be a bit inaccurate.
Yes, the push for the abortion genocide will abhor those illegals that are catholic for sure, but the others that will soon invade, the muslims, hitch on to the dem party since they know pushing their sharia lifestyle is easier through that conduit. (See 0mar, tlaiban, ellison, and carson from IN)

Dead on bro.
One of the major factors in the fall of Rome was when Rome became affluent they used the barbarians in their military instead of Romans. The barbarians opened the gates to new barbarians and then…..
What is so disingenuous about this is the party still demands to use President Trumps name and image to raise funds…to attack his own base.
I believe what you are seeing is the crumbling of the facade that America has had distinct political choices.In reality since the days of FDR, the US has fundamentally changed into a “progressive/liberal/socialist” country which occasionally tried to challenge the leftists but has ultimately maintained the status quo which provides for and enables legally enforced coercive collectivism.
In the last 4 decades, leftists have occupied the one place where they didnt have direct power before..private corporations . Government power mixed with corporate power is the founding element of a fascist society. Any one who has watched how a company like Google has firmly planted itself into democrat party politics in the last 12 years or how Big Brother Technopoly censored/deplatformed Trump and other conservatives in the last 4 years will agree with me.
The sad truth is that many American citizens have very little knowledge of what made their country great.They don’t have any respect for the Constitution either. I would posit that the founding document is completely wasted on most American citizens and most of them would flunk the US Citizenship test if they had to take one.
Something that cannot last forever ,wont.
Spot on. And, it’s up to people like us to fix that issue. It starts at home. We fix the home first and then work on your neighbor.
You make a damn good point Sundance. Thank you!! I am one who needs to digest this point and really own it!! I have been one who believed the uniparty folks just don’t see the light of truth. I begin to grasp your point Sundance. They don’t care about the truth or us-they have an agenda and they will ram it through purposely.
AMEN!!
The sooner the demise of the Republican party the sooner the demise of the Democrat party. History shows that there is no dynasty or party that can remain in power to perpetuity. Those who promise a utopia deceive their supporters and deceive themselves. Sadly people are allowing themselves to be duped and are hateful towards those who point this out. Greed and envy are at the root of many of our problems i.e. a love of money and these are an unresolved problem under all economic and political systems.
A lot of people don’t Want to see what is happening.
Seeing what is happening would make those who see, responsible, for stopping it. That requires courage.
Not seeing what is happening provides “plausible deniability” to those who are too weak to admit their cowardice.
The Wolves are after the Sheep, but the dogs are fighting the wolves. I like dogs. Sheep are tasty.
It is way past time for the sheep to open their eyes, see what is happening, and make a choice.
Become Sheep, Wolves, or fighting dogs.

“Many people are still clinging to actual beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to National Leadership.”
What frustrates me us that it seems that even those in the GOP who are fighting the good fight, Nunes and Jordan for example, apparently think that fight must be wagered by the rules. Maybe I’m wrong about that. Perhaps they have no choice because their chosen venue of operation, DC politics, limits what can be done and how. But either way, if so it only tells us we have to look elsewhere for those who will press the battle with action.
Hopefully looking the part of the fool, to gain ground for impactful shiv( how is the knife spelled?)
If President Donald J Trump was not elected that _____ wouldn’t be telling us what President Trump said out loud and what millions of Americans have been thinking, and what got POTUS 45 elected!
Those words she spoke are the equivalent of her giving us the middle finger.
That’s exactly what I thought as I changed the channel.
Where the hell have you and the GOPe been Liz??
Oh yea, stabbing the guy who first said those words and America in the back.
Mickey Mouse MF Jpg
“The fact the GOP still doesn’t get how radioactive RepLizCheney is to the entire base of the party is a reason why they are in the minority today.”
I appreciate the sentiment, but I’ve got to disagree. Barnes isn’t nearly cynical enough.
First, we are in the majority as Americans and voters. That’s why Actual won in a landslide walking away.
The reason we are in the minority in the government is this: like two prizefighter bums laying down for a fixed fight, Mitch McConnell sold the Senate, just like Paul Ryan sold the House before him. And they both conspired with Democrats to rob us of the presidency we actually voted for. If we had honest elections, we would have the House, Senate and presidency today.
The reason we are “in the minority: is because of THE TREASONOUS AND CRIMINAL COLLUSION BETWEEN THE POWER-MAD COMMUNISTS WE CALL DEMOCRATS AND OUR OWN CORRUPT “LEADERSHIP”. IT IS ON PURPOSE, BY DESIGN AND BOUGHT AND PAID FOR.
Liz Cheney is just the symptom, not the cause.
Cheney is to the GOPe what AOC is to the Progressive Left. Meant to drive the Party narrative where the Donor money flows most. Republican Leadership, including the RNC, knows this, subscribes to it, and blesses it. Hence, Trump’s effort to disengage.
THAT book, many years ago, saved my life.
Flying to Baltimore and I need a negative China flu test. Or I need 10 days in quarantine. However I will only go for 6 days…. fines are up to $5,000.
If I invaded MD as an illegal I would not need that.
I am seeing what is happening. Every day.
And who has our back?
How in h3ll can they check to determine you’re quaratining and collect a fine? I’d just ignore any orders they give unless, as in Canada, they whisked me off to a camp.
Trump not going 3rd party, at this time, fosters these kinds of discussions on the Decepticons and Uniparty. Since everything go forward is based on a false reality, the players are really adverse to sunlight, become very agitated and reveal their true self. Knowledge is Power and can awaken new allies.
Good thoughts. He is cutting their ability to control the positions they want to present.
Barnes is the man. To ignore him is to ignore education.
Barnes knew about Amy Coney Barrett. I remember what he said.
I look forward to the willfully blind doing more than opening their eyes and seeing not just the puppet strings, but also the strength they possess in numbers and economic might. Look how fast Coca Cola AND Microsoft’s LinkedIn subsidiary made Critical Race Theory training go away. Look how fast Fox News viewership plummeted. We’re talking days folks. Harnessing that power will kill off the globalist, uniparty, commie, leftist scum in no uncertain terms. It is a target rich environment.
This is a daily discussion at my house. When will people realize the power they have? I can list examples for days! What if everyone in any store took their masks off right now – what would happen? Is everyone going to jail? Will they all die? If we all went on strike would they fire us all? Would an asteroid blow us up? Nothing will happen if enough people push back.
It’s so frustrating that people don’t understand this. Or they do understand it mentally but resist it emotionally. IDK – I only know people will wake up to the corruption of our institutions and the uniparty before they’ll wake up to how much personal power they have.

Battered conservatives in denial would do well to read and contemplate this.
One of my all-time favorite authors! It’s a cinch that most of the would-be global-scale social engineers of Davos either haven’t read him, or don’t understand him.
These past few years have shown me how massively popular the Inquisitor’s bargain is. The left agrees to it by convincing themselves that they have freely arrived at the compulsory choice. The battered conservatives agree to it by refusing to call things by their rightful name. Point is, TONS of people will accept the bargain if they can convince themselves that they have not.
GOD!!!! What a bunch of defeatists that infect this board. I stopped posting here a few months ago and just came back to post and this? This is the sad sack bunch of whiners that expect to win. CRAP!!!! This is not the army esprit de corps that Sundance espouses. This isn’t living your best life now. This isn’t acting with purposeful cold anger. This is bitching around a cooler.
Sundance didn’t bitch and moan when WordPress booted him. He dug in and dug out and is fighting on. Use his example.
I have taught my kid when they come into a bad situation they are allowed to say one time “Crap. This really sucks.” But after that you put it away and work because you are wasting psychic energy. In effect you have lost the battle before it has begun. This is what the deep state wants you to do. Drive you away from participating. DON’T DO IT! Stay engaged. Get educated and this is a good place to do that. Vet your candidates. Harass your elected officials for voter integrity. Work for the ones that are Patriots. You can state your anger at the beginning of a post but end with a statement of determination. Let that be your modus operandi. Note how I ended many of my declaration posts.
Turn your face to stone. Gird your loins for battle and act with purposeful cold anger.
Look at the Psalms as a model. Here is Psalm 13 as a short example.
13 1 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death;
4 Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.
6 I will sing unto the Lord, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
The hierarchy of the party still follows Bush/ Cheney, especially Cheney and Little Lizzy acts at the behest of her father as always. One by one the Rino’s are dropping out and my opinion is they are quietly being shown the evidence of their treasonous and illegal activity. Good riddance to them all. Liz Cheney ought to go but McCarthy wishes to hold all his cards instead of betting on the outcome. He to will fail.
Trump said he didn’t want to start a new party. He wants to rebuild the GOP. Here is one point where I disagree with him. I believe the rot of the GOP is far too deep, at all levels, local, state and fed, to be rehabilitated.
People would stampede to a new party. Money from small donations would be a tidal wave. I don’t get it. There would be enough people in the 3rd party, I believe, to beat both the remaining GOP *and* the corrupt dems.
it would take 8 years to get a new party up and running
and on all 50 ballots
enough to be a threat.
we do not have the time.
any of you 3rd party loons have a way to speed up the process?
will there be anything left to save in 8 years??
a little critical thinking tells me 3rd party is moot.
And that 8 years would be if Trump was onboard which he is not.
so start in a few states.
Kanye West got slated in a bunch of states, despite being just one partially ‘incapacitated’ person, at the time.
New Parties can nominate the same candidates as the GOP, and the votes are totalled. A new Party can nominate others to run against GOPe scoundrels.
Donations and work need not go to any GOPe benefit.
But most importantly, there are many dems who are disillusioned by the Dem Party, who would NEVER vote for any GOP, for a wide variety of reasons. Many of the ‘bernie’ supporters know the dems and the gop are corrupt and bought by the big banks/monopolies (eg, perhaps seth rich types). They would vote for a new Party candidate who is not in the pocket of lobbyists, bribers, foreign payers, or ‘deep state’.
The energy and enthusiasm of a Trump-led 3rd party would be monumental and have the deep state shaking in its boots.
Too many people seem to think its 1992 and Ross is going up vs bush sr.
what part of it takes 8 years for a 3rd party to become viable
do you not understand??
Ross Perot got 19% as a one man band in little over one year.
You are pulling your 8 year number out of thin air.
Weve spent decades trying to reform rino gop.
Ive got some surplus Washington generals jerseys on hand.
Ross Perot got 19% as a one man band.
Reforming the rino gop would be a decades-long process.
this is slightly off topic, but when Rush died, Sean Hannity said his kind had to “up their game.” Mark Levin gets it, but Sean never truly challenges GOPers and calls them on the carpet. Why isn’t McCarthy and all the GOP on the front steps of the Capitol demanding the fencing come down, etc? Why is an attorney for the RNC telling Trump to stuff his cease and desist order?
I wonder who owns and controls the EIB Network? Rush’s wife? I doubt it.
But having pence have anything to do with the EIB franchise id disgusting.
Conservative are still being battered by the Pentagon, which Eisenhower called the Military / Industrial Complex, and Biden calls “that outfit over there”, to the tune of close to $800 Billion a year, more than the next 6 nations on earth.
It gets even more convoluted.
https://mises.org/wire/truman-was-right-about-cia
President Truman later regretted his part in the creation of the CIA.
Do note his remark about one Pentagon as being one too many.
Surely another reference to what President Eisenhower later referred to as the military-industrial complex.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
It’s hard for people to admit they’ve been duped. To admit you donated your hard earned money to people who hate you. To admit the party you’ve been voting for election in and election out is laughing at you. The pain from these sickening realizations is necessary–it will be the catalyst for change. Some will give up and disengage but others will use it as fuel to fight back.
I read this article right after it was posted today. It is SO good. And an example of this happened to me just a few hours after reading the article. It was related to hearing Pence is narrating the Fox tribute to Rush. I had MANY intense feelings about this. So on a walk with the Lord just a while ago I was pouring out my heart to Him and asking Him to help me understand more fully my feelings of anger as well as resurfacing feelings of betrayal PLUS grieving Rush all at the same time. I said to Him: “Lord, it feels like someone handing me a supposed gift with one hand and slapping me in the face with the other.” And He showed me right away-referring to Sundance’s article-it’s abuse. I have noticed a huge push by some like Jason Miller and CPAC trying to force Pence on us. I believe they are using an emotionally vulnerable time to bring false “unity.” Thanks for listening if you got thru this!!
This has been the darkest 4 months of my life politically. We can never return to the people we were prior to the election. Tune in on Wednesday and Sunday nights to wellversedworld.org at 8EDT, 7 central. It has been a wonderful time of prayer and intercession and briefing on the state of the world and prior to January 20th it was about the election. I don’t know how I could have lived through this period without these intercessors and wonderful people.
It’s truly delusional to think like Rep. Cheney.
There is a filter called conventional morality,
it deals with the priority of human life.
If you can’t raise your head above that,
1/2 of water, and you’re going to drown.
You know what really gets my goat? I grew up in Lexington MA, ya know Paul Revere, Bunker Hill, etc. I am an old lady now. I keep waiting for the REAL men of America to rise up and fight! I never subscribed to Women’s Lib crap, I am so old I remember when men were men, and I loved them for it! Stop commenting and go fight this! We have a country to save! My son is in the military doing his part, because that’s how he was raised! Get out there and save our country! Please dontvrespond if you are some how offended by my post, as I raised mine to serve this once great nation, so get moving! Many want the youngest to understand freedom isn’t free! God please have mercy!
GOP leadership = NRA leadership
For decades, they both have been fleecing the coffers of member donations and support for personal gain and perpetual incumbency–all with indifference and sometimes even in direct opposition to the priorities of their constituents.
Totally agree and I’m a lifetime member! There was a point (can’t remember exactly) when the Republicans had the numbers to pass national reciprocity and they didn’t. NRA didn’t push for it either
Trump had so few allies. I am truly amazed at all he accomplished.
I think the establishment RNC was complicit is this big steal, probably more than we realize.
The only good I see from this is the efforts of DeSantis in Florida. He will have a staff of loyal MAGA people in waiting. Plus some of these Senators are leaving. IF we ever get fair elections again. This is the biggest hurdle we face in the future
It’s been months, but the RNC just sent me a survey. Several questions asked me to rank concerns in order of importance, and allowed fill in the blank for an unlisted ‘other’ concern.
This was my Number One Concern: that all elections be made 100% honest, and that every election cheater from 2016, 2018, 2020 be prosecuted and punished.
Can you imagine, election integrity was of no concern to the RNC? I told them to ask Donald Trump for a share of my contributions.
I received the same survey in the mail. I wrote ‘election integrity’ on it with a sharpie.
I have always felt we are populist and strict constitutionalist. We like to do the right thing. Is that conservative?
I see it. I also see my state attorney general attacking the biden crew and my state legislature building barriers between the Federal bureaucracy and me. Now I need the Sheriff to enforce the law of the land, the United States Constitution. Then we the people can live with dignity and LIBERTY.
As SD said on Feb 7, 2021: the GOP is NOT Recoverable!

I fully agree.
The snakes, the repub party, knew damn well what the marxist dems had planned, so when I see them beating their chest about a joebama EO or dem bill, I shake my head. They could have vigorously challenged the 2020 election fraud, and they wouldnt have to play worry over this crap. Whats even worse is that the biggest road blocks to any voter fraud investigations were set up by state and local repubs, especially those in AZ and GA.
The kabuki theatre is for those suffering the battered conservative syndrome, or the hannity repubs. This is why I say, and get grief over, that the MAJORITY of repubs are much worse than the marxist dems.
“I can’t see it” – seems to denotes that there is a mechanical problem, a vision impediment problem as in light rays not being able to enter the eyes or something is blocking the image. What I believe these people should say: “I don’t see it”; which denotes that the person is willfully choosing to ignore “what’s happening.”
Trump needs to stop endorsing incumbent Republicans, every one of them! Senators and Reps, Primary them all!
I have no problem walking away from the GOP. However, in Missouri, as imperfect as he is, our Governor was somewhat of a bulwark against the covid craziness. I wouldn’t want to be in a blue state during the next pandemic or the next “spike” of covid to keep this one going.
“There seems to be a willful blindness on the part of the American people, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unConstititional behaviors, actions and outcomes we are being served on a daily basis.”
I’ve been harping on that for a few years now. The conservative base has “White Knight” and “conspiracies will save us” syndrome(s) in the worst way.
“One day my prince charming will come save me…” – Snow White
That is what conservatives, Repubs and others honestly believe, a politician, a person, “a god”, a Trump, a Durham, QAnon, the Insurrection Act, the military… but something or someone (other than themselves) is going to swoop in and save them because it’s… *someone else’s job to do*
It quite frankly pisses me off to no end…
We need leadership and organization, yet no one will step up and lead and everyone thinks it’s a conspiracy to be organized or follow.
How Jan 6th go? How’s that OPSEC doing? And the IFF, got that sorted now?
Stay home and stay scared, don’t organize, don’t assemble, keep voting Repub, that’s EXACTLY what their banking on and it works!
My apologies for my rant to those that understand…
