    See, when the fascists round us up I'm gonna have to listen to this type of lecture from liberals in the cell, and it will be worse torture than the actual Nazis, so I suppose I'll be looking forward to when they take a hammer to my balls for being a commie or whatever

    Is anyone even surprised that MAGA nation is tripling down after he gets hit with 34 felony convictions? I know I'm not.

    Andy, - It's a tragedy.

    Have you noticed that persons like MTG, Hawley, Gaetz, Bobbert, Jordan and that lot, they do not participate in the Gov't process
    of legislation creation or doing the work they are supposed to do. I read somewhere Jordan has never produced any meaningful
    bills other than political hackery and chicanery. I'm not saying democrats dont do this but the MAGA GOP in office seem to have only one agenda -
    Trump idolatry, and disinformation. Not only that they support Putin, the dismantling of NATO and disengagment from international affairs
    AND the U.S. strategic positions, so hard fought for, since WW2.

    I am not seduced by the cult of personality and especially a person that likes to parrot "All our problems are because of the Other".
    (Think Immigration) Thats facist ideology.

    This planet and our very ecosystem are under threat for continued human prosperity. The day is coming when Republicans, Democrats and
    Independents will rue the day our society did not better prepare and respond to the threats Americans and humanity face instead of this
    unceasing tribalism and bitter partisanship.

    You know… in the thread that got shut down where the OP was saying he wouldn’t stand for the pledge, anthem, or flag… I actually am perfectly fine with that. I don’t agree with the calls for violence or not paying taxes, but the other stuff… fair game. I don’t need to celebrate Trump’s loss in their faces. This isn’t personal to me, it’s just business and I really don’t take pleasure in it.

    I think it’s healthy that citizens can choose to not stand for the flag or anthem if they don’t feel like it is holding up to their ideals. I don’t think that Trump’s legal issues are worthy of the cause, but if they feel it is, so be it.

    You concede that the Nazis are going to round you up and put you in a cell with us, and you blame your cellmates rather than your captors?

    Trump can still vote as he is not legally bared from voting unless he is sitting in jail. Florida will go by NY law since he was convicted there and NY law lets felons vote unless they are locked up at the time of the election.

    Eff that. Take the lap. Conservatives everywhere should feel bad about the votes they cast that brought us here.

    It's incredible

    Elected a guy who ran on a B.S. birth certificate issue as his "cause celeb", a B.S. slogan (make America Great again) and who blamed all American problems
    on immigrants. SMH

    I believe it's actually written that you can't vote if sentenced to incarceration. So if he is sentenced to that on 7/11 but allowed to stay out while he appeals, he still can't vote.

    First, I don't think I would call @PD irregular. I have had my share of disagreements with his positions in the past but you have to concede he typically has the facts in his favor. And he has frequented this board on many occasions.

    If the gop keeps losing elections, maybe they will do some soul searching and come up with candidates and actual policy positions that appeal to enough of the electorate to be a sustainable and viable political party instead of the shitshow they are now.

    Lol. You literally came here and "regurgitated" what many liberals have posted a million times and your blanket statement aimed at conservatives is why YOU are part of the problem.

    Many of us conservatives are celebrating Trump getting what he deserves.

    YOU are one of the most ideologically entrenched posters to grace this board historically. It's really rich of you to cast stones.

    But make no mistake, you share an opinion with many conservatives. Trump getting his due is a great thing indeed.

    Now show me THAT on Fox news. :)

    Personally, I'll be happy when Trump passes away. I wish he would have retired from politics in 2020. I think the Republican party can unite behind someone else, but Trump unfortunately is going to have to leave the picture for that to happen.

    I hate that I did it in 2016. I deeply regret it in fact. But posters who only crawl out when they win are like the UF fans that only rooted for us during the Urban years.

    PD is a great poster on the sports side, but is deeply far left and his post here that as wgb points out is just a regurgitation of what has been said 1000 times is par for the course

    His calling a *far from* conservative a conservative is all you need to know about how left he is.

    You may be correct. I was just repeating what a tv attorney said.

    I will never cheer anyone's death outside of the OBL types, but I agree that this is how it will be until he simply cant do it anymore.

    Its absolutely insane the grip he has on my former party
