    There's no way, Biden will continue with tRUMPs America. NONE.

    We are the most violent we've been since perhaps Civil War. That is tRUMPs America. The most unlawful and disorderly president in likely USA history.

    Exactly. The advantage is getting the legislation on the floor.
    Really, is their anything that Dems want to do that is not supported by the majority of voters ? There is a good chance most legislation will pass. That’s why Mos ow Mitch wouldn’t let anything get to the floor. The majority agrees with Dems on ALL of the major issues.

    Reagan would be a RINO in todays republican party. All that was left was people dedicated to Trump and now Trump is toxic.

    Do you think incitement only happens with certain words?

    Look at the definition, not a single mention of words used.

    Definition of incite


    transitive verb

    : to move to action : stir up : spur on : urge on
    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incite

    So here is some words they could use: Trump's "Save America Rally" included the president telling supporters to "stop the steal" of the election,

    We took him by surprise and this year they rigged an election, they rigged it like they have never rigged an election before,

    All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by a bold and radical left Democrats which is what they are doing and stolen by the fake news media.

    Here are more words. Still from that day alone.


    “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and Congressmen and women,” Trump told the crowd,

    “We will never give up, we will never concede,” Trump said, delighting the crowd by calling Democratic victories the product of what he called “explosions of bullshit.”

    That SHOULD be the case. But I suspect, if they are part of the political party, they are almost required to vote party line or they lose any and all standing and will basically be black balled by and likely out of the party.
    They could run as Indie, but then money is the issue. It's why money is wanted as a big player in politics. It keeps out the little guy or the Indie.

    I never gave that much thought. But I suspect, you are correct.

    Correct, technically, anyone against fascism is Antifa. Anti-fascism.

    Trump was America's antidote to a very divisive Obama. Biden is an antidote to Trump's continuation of division. Biden clearly has no intention of ending the division, but escalating it. Dems are going for totalitarian one-party control.

    2024 will have a populist President, hopefully one with a cooler head.

    It's worse than an organization. The actual name of what they are is not allowed in this forum.

    Trump was like a 1960's JFK, minus the diplomacy and charm. LOL He was actually pretty moderate and suggested legislation on a few issues which Democrats promised for years but never got done.

    Me, I'd like to see more moderate senators in both parties. I'm happy that Joe Manchin is there with the Dems. Murkowski, Romney, and Collins are moderate Republicans. We need more of those on both sides of the aisle. Extremism both right and left is tearing the nation apart.

    That option exists.
    If every one who votes, always votes against every incumbent every time. Every elected official would only have 1 term.

    Instead of rioting on DC, maybe we can start a more peaceful, VOTE OUT THE INCUMBENT Protest.

    The only reason we have populist uprisings on the left and right is because people who "appeared" to be moderates systematically ripped the heart out of the middle-class starting around the Clinton administration.

    People are fed up with the gap between rich and poor growing, and that is due to bad governance.

    And I don't blame any one Congressperson. Manchin, Murkowski and Collins seem like well-intentioned "nice people". Romney is a dumpster fire.

    Harris never said the riots should continue. She was referring to protests.

    Yeah, yeah, it's the same thing that Bernie Sanders types and AOC types keep saying, "the moderate Democrats were in cahoots with Wall Street" and so forth, "we need a real revolution, not reform." Well, the last few years have shown that the extremists on both sides only got to light matches all over the country. Me, I could use some calm and peace with some level-headed moderates running things for a while. I'm sick and tired of all the histrionics and all the yelling and all the intolerance and lack of collaboration and compromise, and it applies to both sides. I can't make up my mind regarding which party is worse, the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Certainly, these days, both put party ahead of country. There is a reason why I'm an independent.

    I haven't had a deleted post in near 6 months. I was forced to be kind.
    The forum was limiting my free speech. They can't do that, can they? It's against every tRUMP voter in America to have posts deleted. Or aghast, banned.

    I voted Bernie in the Texas primaries because he and Biden were tied. Would have been nice to see a battle between two men with different ideas for America because the old-school ideas are not working for a huge plurality of Americans.

    The worst party is the DINO/RINO party which gives you "peace" through lack of transparency while stabbing you in the back to steal your money.

    Businesses, PGA, Banks, are dumping him and his corporations left and right.

    Business are requesting campaign donation back from the like of Hawley and Cruz.
    The private sector companies and people are going to hurt tRUMP more than the gutless republicans will. I figured they'd all cower 2 days after the riots.

    You've been horribly misinformed. Harris was NOT responding to riots. But to PEACEFUL protests.

    The video of Harris speaking to Colbert is authentic, following her appearance on The Late Show in June. Colbert asks Harris, “How important is it for these protests to continue?” Harris responds that it is “critically important”, saying that some of the success achieved around criminal justice reforms would not have happened in recent years without Black Lives Matter ( here ).

    It won't happen.
    For term limit to be put in place, the congresscritters have to put them in place on themselves.

    McCain/Feingold tried, got close. But, no cigar.

    The only way to get term limits, vote out EVERY incumbent, EVERY time..
    Maybe after several election cycles, the congresscritters will put the limits in.

    Of course your description of Antifa is pretty much made up baloney.
    But...
    Sounds like a lot of trump supporters. Except Antifa hasn't attacked the USA gov't.

    This was due to happen. Imagine the surprise on all thr Trumper faces who appeared on the replays of the mob scenes when they got their pink slip. Trump is going to go to bat for them , right ?
