Wouldn't mind to see them stay with us through 2024 at least.

As bad as things have been, we are fortunate that the first nakedly authoritarian president is also stupid and incompetent.

The next person who tries will surely be more sophisticated and less ham-handed and clumsy.

We need to be very vigilant.

I hope pieces like this from the TLP will get through to the people not totally ignorant and brainwashed by the likes of the Steve Bannons and his ilk.

And they're all Republicans. The whole point of the "Never Trumper" scam is to whitewash pre-Trump Republican crimes, and to pretend that the current Republican Party aren't really Republicans. But of course they are. All of them.


As you know.

If they were truly "former" Republicans they wouldn't care about this. But they clearly do.


This is why they say "these are Republicans? We think not"


Obviously.
