Discussion: The REPUBLICAN Party - - - - - Part 20

Republicans need to mind their own effing business

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Don’t tell me you did Nazi that coming from this guy endorsed by Neo-Nazis.

Blake Masters Dogged by Early Strident Writings

“Blake Masters, a Republican candidate for the Senate in Arizona who won the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, has been dogged by a trail of youthful writings in which he lamented the entry of the United States into the First and Second World Wars, approvingly quoted a Nazi war criminal and pushed an isolationism that extended beyond even Mr. Trump’s,” the New York Times reports.

MAGA and Nazis do go hand in hand.

“I have five grandchildren,” the congresswoman began in her Tuesday speech. “I would do anything—anything—to protect my five grandchildren. Including, as a last resort, shooting them, if I had to, to protect the lives of my grandchildren.”

WTF?? GOP Rep Mad She Accidentally Said She Would Shoot Her Own Grandchildren

 

[Teelie]

Why would she need to shoot her own grandchildren to protect them? I don't know in any scenario that shooting someone would somehow protect them.

 

[:eek:]

I suppose with "them" she could have meant anyone who was attacking her grandchildren. But with these people you can never be sure...

I think it's safe to assume that courting evangelicals for so long has let them infiltrate the party so the ones who faked it to gain their support were replaced by legitimate ones a long time ago.

Whoa. Any Dem willing to take that on?

Whoa. Any Dem willing to take that on?

The incumbent governor.

 

[Lily Adler]

The incumbent governor.

Oof. Major brain fart on that one. Yeah I don't see her losing that one.

Yeah, none of these clowns are the best, as most of the front leaders were disqualified for using the same company to forge signatures to get on the ballot. And given how bat**** successful the ballot initiative to protect abortion is, she is going to have some strong support.

McClatchy - McConnell briefly floated a national abortion ban. Democrats have seized on that.

McClatchy - McConnell briefly floated a national abortion ban. Democrats have seized on that.

One Never Trumper strategist, Tim Miller, says that framing the issue as “Republicans want to take away your birth control” could be as potent as Republicans using “defund the police” to rally R voters to the polls in 2020.

And I think he’s right. It still addresses the issues but in a direct, blunt way.

That is exactly why I was thinking she meant to shoot her own grand kids. These people think of guns as solution to everything.

[George Republican Lieutenant Governor] candidate’s involvement in ‘fake’ GOP electors draws scrutiny

State Sen. Burt Jones’ role on a phony slate of GOP electors in Georgia, designed to help Donald Trump’s failed effort to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, is drawing increased scrutiny as the Republican vies to become the state’s next lieutenant governor.

His Democratic opponent, attorney Charlie Bailey, has zeroed in on Jones’ inclusion on the GOP slate of electors, invoking investigations by the FBI and Fulton County in campaign speeches and fundraising emails. Some Republican strategists worry the issue could damage the rest of the GOP ticket.
