Donald Trump Has Turned the Republican Party Into A Disturbing Clown Show
The pro Trump fanatic Elise Stefanik, a member of Congress from NY state, was on Meet The Press this morning. Without getting into the dishonest details of her comments, suffice it to say that she pledged total fidelity to Trump, turning every question about Trump's despicable conduct into an attack on Joe Biden.

Yesterday, in one speech, Trump said the issue of civil war secession, which was over slavery, should have been "negotiated", but Lincoln didnt want to negotiate because without the Civil War no one would know who Lincoln was.
He also mocked the prisoner of war injury of the late John McCain, complaining that McCain didnt "raise his arm" to vote down Obamacare. McCain could not raise his arm due to injury caused by torture while being held in a prison by North Vietnam. McCain's daughter Megan called Trump a piece of shit on twitter in response.
In the same speech yesterday Trump said he would beat George Washington and Abraham Lincoln "by 35 points" in an election.

There was much more along those deranged lines.
This is all embarrassing, to the nth degree, to the United States, which is on a track to possibly elect a lunatic to the American presidency. Some might say he doesnt mean it. But in any conceivable case he means something. He either believes what he says or he is leading his fan base around by the nose by appealing to stupidity and lunacy as the core of his 2024 election effort. Either way responsible Americans should be disturbed.
In the past week much of the Republican Party in Congress who had not yet succumbed to the lure of Trump did so, with numerous GOP senators and congresspeople endorsing him , including the man , Emmers, who Trump personally prevented from becoming the House Speaker. Emmers either cant stand up to Trump and trumpsters, or actually believes the traitor should be president. Both remaining GOP contenders not named Trump, Haley and DeSantis , have said they will support Trump if he is the nominee. Both of them have said they will pardon him for his crimes if they become president. Its possible Trump could be convicted on four different sets of felony charges in four different jurisdictions and still be a free man if the Republicans win the White House this year.
Every time Trump opens his mouth for more than 10 seconds he says something outrageously stupid, but still all the Republicans , with few exceptions, fall in line.
The media isnt far behind.

Our country needs the national media to step up and take a stand, and stop normalizing Trump's insanity.
The cheese has finally slipped completely off the cracker for anyone who truly believes all that.
Thank you for your deepest thoughts.
Glad you liked them. That really makes my day ….
Believes all what? The actual words that came out of Trump’s actual mouth? Why is it that the only things that come out of your head are bumper sticker level slogans?
Lincoln didnt want to negotiate because without the Civil War no one would know who Lincoln was.
Are you ok with the undisputed leader of the Republican Party alluding to the actions of one of the most important political figures in US history as being based on nothing but ego and attention seeking? Like Lincoln was just the equivalent of a Columbine school shooter or something? The American right has become a horrific embarrassment to this country.
They are ok with EVERYTHING as long as Trump "owns the libs".
Who needs AI bot trolls when there’s such a rich supply of willing Republicans to do the job?
lol ….
Notice how brief and unspecific the rights wing comments are here on these topics.
Short and to the point is always the best. [deleted]
You have no point.
Nah, it’s there. That you refuse to acknowledge that it’s there and/or disagree with it, is all on you.
100%
So was the point the part about the cheese or the part about the cracker? Your posts are so intellectually deep it’s hard to tell.

Yes, of course. Idioms and bumper stickers are totally your thing. [deleted]

Trump will never escape his sausage casing.

That looks brief and unspecific but it also seems OK for some reason.
It seems to be all consuming
I can't imagine why they wouldn't want to have the same conversation they had yesterday and the day before and the day before that........................................
It almost seems like you are saying the media should try to influence the election. Would that be considered an attack on Democracy? Let me add to that. A few days ago Joe told reporters he they should report on something "The right way". Is that also trying to get the media to influence the election? Is that Joe trying to influence the election but telling the media what to write?
Some people want to go on supporting Trump's lunacy , and some don't.
True, Although I doubt the people that support Donald think he is a lunatic. Interestingly enough they may consider anyone supporting a semi coherent doddering old fool an act of lunacy. To each his (or her, or they or them) own.
But that doesn't answer the question "It almost seems like you are saying the media should try to influence the election. Would that be considered an attack on Democracy?"
Thats their problem. I try every day to get people on this forum to engage on what Trump actually says and does, and it rarely happens.
Trump says lunatic things, he does it all the time. Just because his fans like it doesnt make it right or sane.
Only folks like you consider it a problem at all. After all this time you would think people who say Trump lies all the time would stop taking everything he says literally. The fact that many people don't take everything he says like it is the Gospel has been explained a few hundred times. Some folks just have trouble accepting that.
I would suggest they like it (or at least accept it for what it is) because they don't hang on every word like it is what he means. I agree that what he says is outrageous and at times ridiculous and even unfeeling but I am not going to get hung up on every word all the time. And I am not going to listen to the liberal spin of everything he says all the time.
I get it. I do. You want a moron asshole to be president of the United States again. I dont.
Then make sure you DON'T vote for Biden.
Never said that but if it makes you feel better go for it.
Maybe later, I am doing a load of laundry now.
I really don't think he wants Biden to be president,
No substantiative comments by the right on this article.
Do you believe 1.1.7 and 1.1.9 are "substantiative" or does your definition only pertain to the right?
I made the most substantiative comment of all, I wrote the article. How many articles have you written for Newstalkers?
Subjective at best.
"How many articles have you written for Newstalkers? "
That's requirement now?
lol

I don't speak for the right and I don't feel the need to frequently repeat myself on why Trump was, is and will be unfit for the office of the presidency. I want him to enjoy his remaining years as a perpetual defendant.
I'm also very concerned about Biden's age and capacity for the job and with Harris as his backup it will be hard for me to vote for him again.
Among the viable candidates, I think that Haley is by far the best. With her personnel background and gender, she learned the art of compromise in SC politics. She speaks intelligently on foreign policy. Her husband is a deployed military officer. She knows what it is like to grow up as a girl of color with a father wearing a turban in a small Southern town. While far from perfect, thru the process of elimination, I'm becoming a Halley supporter.
I've never donated money to a campaign before until this last weekend when she got my first donation.

You and I do not often totally agree on much, but I have to agree that Trump has made a mockery of the Grand Old Party
