    You're post is exactly what's wrong with Republicans. The overwhelming majority of Republicans think the election was stolen. It wasn't. The overwhelming majority of Democrats thought Trump should have been impeached. He should have been and he was. Gabbard was wrong, Republicans are wrong.

    We get involved in "squabbles" to protect our interests. It was the Allies that won two world wars. Again with bad memory.

    I know that I know where to find the info on 2019-2020 flu. And no it didn’t stop getting counted.

    Obviously hard core left wingers. Proper Republicans are 100% and don't need to be bothered reading the bill.
    It's like how many of them look at his PAC millions thinking that's for them and the party and not himself for when he declares bankruptcy. Soon. My hope is he loses that too to keep out of prison.

    Stefanie voted with Trump less than Cheney and is more of a moderate republican. How does she represent the base more than Cheney?

    Oh right, because Trump said to so they must bow to their master.

    The advantage to this absurdity is that it may force a third party to form of moderate republicans and democrats. That'd be sweeeeeet.

    Well, tomorrow, the "moderate" Republicans seem to be tossing out the first pitch

    https://www.reuters.com/world/us/ra...-republicans-threaten-third-party-2021-05-11/

    I don't see many, or any, moderate democrats joining them at this point, but if it truly gets any traction, a few might in 2023...

    His son's wealth is tied directly to papa Trump. Without him they have nothing. Only Ivanka has her own money thanks to marrying Jared.

    Not Cheney, she is no where near a moderate, she just made one good choice for America and I applaud that. The true moderates can and will attract moderate Democrats. But they need to get moving. Once T**** has to declare his bankruptcy and announces he'll live off his personal PAC fund it will be harder.

    Here's today's GOP in action, the "big tent party" that "embraces free thought and debate"

    SNIP
    In a speech to Congress on Tuesday, Cheney criticized those in her party who have not censured Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and his ongoing "crusade to undermine our democracy."

    She's not a moderate by ideology, but that's no longer the key to membership in today's GOP. There's only 1 litmus test to success and it's not ideology...

    After today, she'll likely have no home in that party, so a third party might be the only way she stays relevant in politics.

    I've already said people like Liz and Mitt won't be rushing to join some breakaway party this week, but lets see where they stand in January 2022....

    You can have her. Run her as a Democrat in California or give her a job as a talking head at CNN. You can have Mitt as well. It won't matter much in the long run, we are headed towards a left wing tyrannical caste system ala California that impoverishes the middle class for the benefit of the elite (greatest wealth inequality in America and now actively contending for greatest wealth inequality on the planet). The left/elites will get the 3rd world balkanized hell world that they so desperately want. Patience grasshopper, they will get around to impoverishing you and making you dependent on them for existence.... just have a little more patience.... you will get what you/they want.

    Actually everything Trump touched turned out great including the lowest unemployment in all demographics. The virus touched us and only silly people think government can stop a virus.

    Representative Cheney has been removed from her leadership post.

    Cowards took a voice vote, instead of a private vote (like last time) because I suspect it would have been closer with that method.

    No word on a replacement. I hear it's between Elise Stefanick (Simpleton-NY) and the bones of Hermann Goring (Nazi-Ger)

    Obama handed Trump the trend of improving unemployment and Trump ruined it along with his mishandling and lying about the Trump Virus.

    Once again, the government of South Korea did a pretty good job of stopping a virus
