    Honestly, Desantis has proven to be something of a disappointment. There's little trace of the man who seemed like a less abrasive and more politically savvy Trump in his campaign.

    Fair enough, but that "I don't believe that any one of us would want to be judged solely upon our worst moments." quote bugs me; because I know there's an unspoken "Though it's okay to do it to our enemies, of course." tacked on at the end.

    It's a slap on the wrist though; and only happened because he made too much of a scene for them to sweep it all under the rug.

    It's still disgusting seeing someone who's job it is to help enforce the law willfully break it.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12081373/Wild-brawls-break-Democratic-endorsing-convention-Minnesota-supporters-clash-stage.html Apparently, one group representing a Democrat candidate (Nasri Warsame, a black man from Somalia) running for a local election attacked another at a Democrat...

    They're basically giving us no choice but to support him as president in 2024; because we cannot allow bullhonky this egregious to stand without challenge.

    Technically, she's not wrong; such things are dangerous to people like her who are trying to take control over every aspect of our lives, and destroy our ability to resist.

    So long as their team won, it doesn't matter to those who voted for him what happens after he gets elected; as long as they can still prop up his corpse to maintain ownership of his senatorial seat, that's all that matters.

    Plus, I seriously doubt that's not how she actually feels. She just accidentally told the truth for once.

    Speaking as someone who has already been called a Russia-appeaser several times, I don't really give a damn. You either have principles, or you don't; sacrificing them in the name of "winning" the political game is just your ticket to becoming another useful idiot for the establishment.

    At this point, not getting the vaccine is seen by these people as a sign of tribal disloyalty; so to them, this is about kicking out undesirables from their perfect society.

    Because most of those in government are just a higher class of criminal.

    And with that, she neatly undoes everything her trip to Taiwan accomplished in terms of showing that America is willing to oppose China.

    Perhaps not; but I doubt they'll just meekly accept defeat. They might even try to destroy the party on the way out, if it looks like they're about to lose control of it entirely.

    The GOP establishment (RINOs and controlled opposition that they are) seem to be trying maintain control over the party by simply not allowing their competition within the party to run for office. What do you want to bet that they'll come up with some way to disqualify Trump too, if he decides...

    And I'm hoping that results in a Republican party that isn't controlled opposition; imagine what Trump could have accomplished had that been the case when he was in office.

    I could not agree more; on both counts, sadly. Unfortunately, our "elites" believe they stand to gain more by siding with them than by opposing them. True; but that's going to cause a lot of collateral damage when their stooges in the west realize that their patrons in China are no longer going...

    We already lost the Cold War with China; because from beginning to end we refused to recognize that it was even happening, and ended up with most of our institutions subverted by them without a fight. For Pete's sake; our current "president" conducted clandestine deals with them, and yet in...

    Mostly, but not all; a number of them managed to pass on a sort of second-hand nostalgia for the Cold War to the younger generations, at least some of whom seem to be excited at the prospect that they'll finally get the opportunity to stick it to the Soviet Union like their grandparents did.
