Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
But this is why I think government should be utterly and totally secular. Regardless of what you believe, other people can twist their religion to justify all kinds of things. Christ had a chance to establish a Christian Theocracy and didn't. Christ followers thinking Christ would want the US to be...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Yeah I think that is pretty spot on. When I was a teenager, I was a bit of a right-wing evangelical nut, and what attracted me to it was this notion of fighting for good against evil. Then I grew up and realized it was all shades of gray rather than black and white, but a lot of people I know from ...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
That's not what I'm saying. I know some fairly intelligent people who are hard-core Trump supporters. You don't have to be a simpleton to act based on your emotions. Politics is largely driven by emotion on both sides of the aisle. Maybe some truth to the below? We see it with MAGA and now the Pale...

Re: Can the Democrat Party be saved?
The DEI initiatives are quickly forgotten when the cause isn't something universities agree with ... this is why a strong, pro-democracy, Republican party is critical. As a nation, we're better off with two equally strong pro-democracy / rule of law parties. Watching the leadership at some of these ...

Re: The Trials Of Donald Trump
I am actually very disappointed that this is the first one to go forward. Why do you think it's such a weak case? Because they are trying to stretch a statute that wasn't really meant to cover this case to make what he did a felony criminal offense. It's also questionable to me whether this payment...

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
oh, it was posted on an X account? Must be 100% reliable :roll: Still, I don't think you're going to find too many people on this forum defending Biden. We know he sucks but we're still going to vote for him because the other guy is worse. Biden forgot the word Scranton and the other guy tried to o...

Re: Fox News - what we knew all along is true
Has FOX NEWS learned it lesson?

I'm sure by now most have seen Stephanopoulos's interview Sununu, but disappointed in Sununu's comments. This may or may not hurt him if he decides to run in 2028.

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Put more succinctly, would you say Trump is a loser's image of a winner? Is this part of the same reason the GOP has become a party more fond of Putin/Russia?

Re: Can the Republican Party Be Saved?
Having watched and enjoyed the show, I thought these comments worth mentioning: “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson is receiving a whole lot of attention for some harsh words he had for Donald Trump and his devotees. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier this month, the action ...
