Some people here REALLY need to 'get-a-grip'. How many allies and potential allies do you imagine are out there ? Here's a hint : NOT anywhere near enough to malign overall decent people just because they are not extreme enough for your taste. If you can't follow Trump's lead, then why are you here ?

For a guy who flew WAY under any radars for years, Senator Johnson is performing WAY beyond reasonable expectations. He is close to being my favourite Senator. Bothe based AND smart. Just goes to show that you can teach an old dog new tricks. He is to be congratulated for his perception and his courage.

This is every bit as BAD as the loons posting their loony stuff. There is NO TRUTH to this . None at all. I live in Canada and NONE of this is happening here. Be Best. Posting complete BS and passing if off as TRUTH is how society got into this mess, and no part of how to get out of it again.

Stop with the whiny defeatism. Do you see The Donald crying in his coke ? Be more like him and less like whatever this is. You most certainly can't win if you give up even trying. As others have said, GET INVOLVED at the ground level where it can really make a vast difference.

Well they weren't wrong, so there's that. And they detest political correctness except as a tool to undermine the West, so there's that as well. From the photo I think maybe someone might have said this in a helpful manner about a decade ago.

I don't think you have ANY idea at all how this thing has to work. Zero clue. How many people do you imaging are out there who are even WILLING to join with Trump ? And here you are, demanding purity and perfection. As if there were literally MILLIONS of political types just dying to join the good guys. Grow up. Graham is untrustworthy but as long as you keep an eye on him, he tends to fly more or less right. In that regard he's absolutely in the top percentile of the current GOP. And taking over the GOP is probably the only viable path forward at this point. I would like a new party to simply replace the GOP, but I also think that is a bad move as there is not guarantee that the moribund rump GOP wouldn't just hang around getting enough votes to ensure Democratic dominance. The fight is tough enough now without being clownish about reality. Again. GROW UP.

Thune is another one that has to go. He's as bad as any of the usual suspects, just more fearful of raising his head. Another McConnell yes-man.

Just a small little correction. The Buffalo were slaughtered because they were there and VERY bad people didn't want them to be. And of course buffalo skins were worth MONEY. Food wasn't at all involved in this butchery. I refuse to allow this atrocity to be in any way justified, even in passing.

Umm,no. Can there be ONE side of the political divide that at least tries to be ADULT ? It's just NORMAL song lyrics. It's your interpretation that is perverse.

In all honesty, this is the MOST productive thing ever suggested here. THIS is what this site should be. Problem solving. Because unless the plan is really extreme, there is only one sure way to smash the loons. ORGANIZE and INFLUENCE. That's the way that all successful political parties have started. Small perfection lead to bigger perfections IF people want it enouhg. I hope LOTS of people follow through here. I'm Canadian so I'm already lost to the loons, but you have enough of a base to make a difference.

Stop mentioning Collins along with the others. She's a special case because New Hampshire. She's the best anyone could expect to be elected from that area. So she gets a pass. Always. The others do not belong in the party and must be excised by one means or another. Their States can do a LOT better in electing people.

I'm pretty tired of the perfection standard. He's on Trump's side at some personal risk. So he's fine by me. Are you actually interested in WINNING ? I DON'T CARE what he was doing last year, if he did anything at all.

I hope ALL those who can do this, DO do this. This is what the founders of the American Republic thought the citizens should do. GET INVOLVED and get 'them' out. And by them I mean the GOPe poltroons who now infest the party. It is the only way forward.

Please do not drag innocent animals into this. I like animals and they don't at all represent the Swamp. Now if you want to post pics of leeches and various other parasites, that's aces. But NO animals if you please. Thanks for your co-operation

Doing stuff like this is just childish. Who do you think you are influencing with this ? No-one looks at these videos anyway, so even if downvoting BEFORE it happened had any use, only a miniscule percentage of convincible people would ever see it. And by miniscule I mean virtually non-existent. Be best. Not like 'them'.

EVERYBODY gets old. Even you. And no, simple math tells you that not all citizens (even hard-working ones) can possibly save enough for a self-funding life after they no longer are working. We are NOT ever going back to a complete dog-eat-dog way of life short of anything less than a complete meltdown. Thand the Gods for that, at least. Social security is NOT the problem. The problem is the increasingly feudal nature of our society. A problem compounded immensely by the fact that the new ' nobles' are mostly complete and utter scumbags. Look at the data about percentage of wealth owned by the various social cohorts and see how drastically it has changed, just over the past 50 years. And then tell me that is a great thing. Libertarians are seriously deranged, imao. And ao opinion or not, I'm sticking with it.

So what ? Typical GOPe uselessness. Who is supposed to be impressed by this ? 24 < 51.

I am OK with this scenario, except for the 1984 reference. IF this was full-on 1984 territory , people would NOT get angry. They wouldn't know anything different from what they had been trained to think. And you couldn't show any anger that you did have because if you did, others would denounce you. Getting out of 1984 is a LOT harder than getting into it. Not until the system begins to decay and fail can it not hold its victims in thrall.

Pro-Life Bills,

When will the sheeple EVER grasp that this is just an issue that the GOP waves around as required to entrance the gullible ? I know that many consider it the be all and end all of reality, but ,imao, it most certainly isn't, and even if it were, this meaningless signaling that the GOP indulges in is just useless. If you are deceived by this always-on-tap pantomime, then honestly you deserve what you get and should never whine about the GOP being an ineffective and feckless mess.

Maybe Tucker might want to be at war with his own network, since clearly it isn't him. But he dare not. And that's the best possible interpretation. The other is that he is all pretense and positioning. All show ---- almost no go. A slight of hand for the rubes watching him. He's just another poser. It's merely a somewhat different act. Think about where he lives and among whom. I doubt he's a social isolate,

Say what you want about globalism and I do, but the upside is that it has created a large number of new players who are not infested with Western decayed values and attitudes. And clearly they have oodles of cash to bring to the table. I don't care about motives now. Just allies.

She's not at all wrong. Wall Street is worse than anything she would want to do. ALL populists should unite against 'the system'.

I don't care whether you stay here or not but you're clearly not contributing anything but the usual drivel that i can get anywhere else. So I'm blocking you. Hopefully you become that tree falling in the forest with no-one around. Soon.
