Pretty sure we can thank Brent Scowcroft and Poppy Bush for that, can’t we?

Just a reminder that this may be meaningless crap from a hypocrite, but combined with quotes like this from our dearly departed ex FOX commentator, it just cant help but make you think the tide is turning a bit.
Maybe
I hope
“Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” wrote Ralph Peters, a Fox News “strategic analyst.”
“Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed,” he wrote.”

Well the more people who hear GOP - and yesterday it was two senators saying the “I” word, the more it chips away at Trumpski’s presidency.
I’m all for it. I’m glad he said it. I’m glad Graham and Flake said Impeachment yesterday. I know talk may be cheap but it doesn’t mean it has zero value. It has value or we wouldn’t care what they say or indeed anyone.

Like the popular independent film from the 80’s, The gods must be crazy.
The only difference is they worship Trump instead of a Coke bottle.

I wonder if “Tribal” is replacing “Values” as the new code word for Race?
Or is it just that Tribal is the new buzz word to explain hypocrisy?
Tribal , maybe. Birtherish ? definitely. Trump’s support by the Republican base is enabled by the lack of courage and integrity by Republicans in the US Senate and House. If more than one or two of them spoke up and said, " this will not stand" ,it may have made a difference in the perception of the base. Their lack of a backbone has resulted in a tyrannical reality tv actor running amuck in the oval office. Shame on the GOP for it’s lack of patriotism and support of our democratic institutions and norms.
Agree with you. My analogy was–his OWN PARTY, especially the “leadership” entirely cowed by the racist base, will lambaste him.
It isn’t your parent’s GOP these days.
Here’s today’s GOP… (and remember that evangelicals turn a blind eye to this part)…
Assist in building it.
Announce you are quitting.
Criticize that which you assisted in building.
Poll shows Trump voters favor a “strong leader” and without the hassle of elections.
That’s about 35% (?) here. I’ve heard of figures near 45% in Europe.
