Carl Paladino, who is supported by Rep. Elise Stefanik, also shared conspiracy theories that the shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde were false flags


The real GOP would expel doinks like this.

It's not your father's Democrat Party either. There are communists in charge.

Shameful. Reminds of when Biden praised racist Senators.

 

[phrodeau]

Never heard of him. Looks like he found a way to get attention.

Biden, not Brandon? Are you evolving?

Yes, becoming a kinder and gentler boomer in my old age

 

[ll74]

Be best.

Did he endorse them for re-election? Nope.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

You’re cool with Biden praising racists and boasting about his great relationships with them because he didn’t endorse them for re-election. Got it.

Nope, didn't say that. Besides, we all know how you rationalize your own support for racists: you simply pretend they're not racists!

I have known and liked members of the American Communist Party. They are charming, but incapable of starting a meeting on time, much less creating a Communist dictatorship in the United States. The CPUSA only has a few thousand members nation wide. It was never politically significant in the United States.

Marxism has a slight revival in the United States during the War in Vietnam. Now it is a dying ideology. It has been decades since it was a creed people would kill or die for.

 

[JohnEngelman]

A Republican politician saying that we need someone like Hitler would be equivalent to a Democrat politicians saying that we need someone like Vladimir Lenin. No Democrat politician is talking like that.

It is also very much true that this is not my "Pappy's" Democratic Party.

It is actually very much more in line with Socialism
which is why it is always accusing others of being Hitler.

It's called misdirection, but as I just stated in another thread,
when you point one finger at someone else,
three fingers point back at you.

It's been interesting to watch how the two parties have morphed over the years. As the democrats have swerved towards the "progressive" (new wave communism based on 'global warming' and 'equity'), the republicans are beginning to look more like libertarians.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

They might try to sound more Libertarian, but they certainly don't legislate that way.
In reality, they act like FDR Democrats. They like spending and ruling too...
Their only grace is that they are a tad less toxic than the alternative.

The whole spending thing is problematic but I don't see that coming to an end anytime soon. As you pointed out both parties are infected with that particular disease the only difference being which commode the cash is flushed down.

On the 'ruling' part I'm seeing signs of that changing, particularly with DeSantis down in FL. They're passing laws that are effectively prohibiting state and local officials to behave like authoritarians and in the ultimate twist of irony being accused of being authoritarian for doing so. Another example of your finger pointing.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

The Cheney wing of the Party is probably more powerful and will prevent change.
Just look at her at the 1/6 hearings. She is the darling of the Democrat Party.
She forgets (I don't think she's too bright) how viscerally the Left hated her father
and will return to hating her once she stops being a useful establishment tool.
She's going down the McCain path, oblivious to reality, convinced that she can
straddle the political divide like a Colossus, forgetting what happened to both
the statue and the Senator who would be President and I think that in the back
of her mind, if she can publicly "destroy" Trump as a viable candidate then
there is a vacuum ready to be filled and she is that candidate for 2024...

Cheney voted for Republican(45) party policies 90+% of the time.

Stefanik voted for Republican (45) party policies 72% of the time.

Moving on to a greater world

 

[Chobham]

Cheney did herself no favor in deciding to join that clown show.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

She thinks she looks "Presidential."

Your silence on Biden’s history of praising racists and boasting about his relationships with them say it all.

Would that be greater or less than Trump’s history of praising racists and boasting about his relationships with them?

My comment was about Biden. I understand why you want to deflect.

Yes, and there it lies in a discussion of the GOP.
