Why have you directed this to me?  I don't need you to educate me on the founding of this country, the constitution, or, quite frankly, any other topic.  And, this isn't the first time that you have questioned my intelligence or ability to understand.  In the future, please don’t do this again.

And your point?  If you have one other than stirring the pot.  

That's really his only point.  Best to just chuckle and move on.

Aggressive Greene

Greene is a loose cannon conspiracy nut. She is Trump inspired.  This is the party growth that Lindsay Graham apoarently wants.

WaPo Opinion Charlie Dent

Quote

We urge fellow Americans to join us.
Our alliance includes former governors, members of Congress, Cabinet secretaries, state officials, seasoned political strategists and grass-roots leaders dedicated to offering a hopeful, principles-based vision for the country — and ensuring that our votes have decisive impact in key elections across the United States.
We want to give voice to the millions of Americans who feel politically homeless and mobilize them to help chart a new path forward for our country.

Quote

It is time for a rebirth of the American cause, which we will pursue in partnership and loyal competition with others committed to the preservation of our Union.
Tragically, the Republican Party has lost its way, perverted by fear, lies and self-interest. What’s more, GOP attacks on the integrity of our elections and our institutions pose a continuing and material threat to the nation.
The Jan. 6 insurrection was a wake-up call for many who had remained loyal to the party, even while harboring concerns about its direction.
Many have since left. The GOP has effectively become a privileged third party, ranking behind independents and Democrats in voter registration.
Meanwhile, Republican legislators are trying to impede voting rights across the country as a last-ditch effort to retain power.
We will not wait forever for the GOP to clean up its act. If we cannot save the Republican Party from itself, we will help save America from extremist elements in the Republican Party.
That means hastening the creation of an alternative: a political movement dedicated to our founding principles and divorced from the GOP’s obsessive cult of personality around a deeply flawed (and twice-impeached) man, whose favorability ratings are reportedly tanking in key swing districts around the country.
We will fight for honorable Republicans who stand up for truth and decency, such as Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Lisa Murkowski and Mitt Romney, to name a few.
But we will not rely on the old partisan playbook. We intend to work across party lines with other Americans to oppose extremists and defend the republic wherever we can.

Quote

Together with our patriotic allies in other parties, our movement will stand against fearmongers, conspiracy theorists and the opportunists who seek unbridled power.
We plan to invest in a deeper bench of effective leaders in cities and states across the country while recruiting a new generation of principled, pragmatic citizens to the cause.
Some no doubt will urge us to join the Democratic Party. We believe that inching toward a single-party system would be dangerous and would fail to represent the diverse viewpoints in our nation.
America cannot have just one party committed to preservation of its democratic institutions. There must be at least two, if not more.
With Cheney’s dismissal from House leadership, the battle for the soul of the Republican Party — and our country — is not over. It is just beginning, which is why we are forming a “resistance of the rational” against the radicals.
We still hope for a healthy, thriving Republican Party, but we are no longer holding our breath.
Next month, we will convene a nationwide town hall open to all Americans and featuring current and former U.S. leaders who will lay out where we must go from here, how we can ensure a freer America and how all citizens can join the fight.
Extremists may have fired the first shot in this moral struggle for America’s future, but with truth as our lodestar, those laboring to renew America will fire the last.

These are unprecedented times, historic in their importance to our future as a democratic republic.  Trumpublicans need to wake up.

I guess you both didn't read it or you would understand why the constitution is so important and not people who come and go? Maybe you really should reread it and use your imagination re what was going on at the time when that speech was made. Anyone having a grasp of history and who cares about this country would understand why the Stamp Duty was such a turning point for the country and how much it epitomizes conservative philosophy. 

Significant people understand foundations. The current republicans haven't got a leg to stand on. No surprise there though, hypocrisy allows for amazing delusions especially when integrity doesn't matter. 

Freedom of speech! Doesn't apply in this current republican party.

Isn't it interesting how they always follow a person as if unable to think for themselves? 

For liberals, Democracy is so much more important than a person, but for republicans, they would easily suspend Democracy to feed their egos. From a psychological standpoint, it's childish behavior. Always using illegal shortcuts instead of actually coming up with ideas. 

And do you see how many of them are now jumping on the bandwagon re Biden's stimulus as if they actually voted for it!

So I hear that Trump's blogs are not getting many visitors and I was wondering if his supporters just don't read? 

More than a hundred words is fifty too much? 

They can't read anything pass headlines so I wonder about depth. Maybe it explains a lot about them?

It's boring, no interaction just Trump's grievances and lies.
