I would say pretty well the worst happened in the 2020 election.....we had our fed gov stolen by a banana republic junta that put a slobbering corrupt rotten banana over us. It now comes down to how repairable it is

It certainly was the origin of all of this. They say the real insurrection happened on November 3rd 2020, and January 6th was the cover up.

Still not able to тАШlikeтАЩ anythingтАж but something happened. What that something actually is, IтАЩm not positiveтАжbut it appeared to be a color revolution. As to how Trump actually came to be the Republican candidate by virtue of feeding off public disapproval for permanent Washington and corrupt leaders concerns me a little.

I am not concerned about Trump being a danger. He may be full of himself and he says what he wants without thinking. But I don't doubt his love of America. He just needs to find honest Americans with integrity to serve in his administration this time. Last time he took the recommendations of people that did not have integrity. After all, Trump has run businesses and worked with leaders across the world before he became president. You can also get an idea of a man by looking at his children. And Melania does not have to run around campaigning for him like Jill has to. Nor does she have to help him off the stage.

His closest adviser was his SIL, who had dubious ties. Frankly, he gave me the creeps.

Banana republic my A**! Our Constitutional Republic is and HAS BEEN under SEIGE

by "American" out-and-out SOCIALISTS and COMMUNISTS (SAME damn thing) for MORE than a half century; who now CONTROL ALL the lever of power THROUGHOUT the federal government, INCLUDING the so-called "justice" department, FBI, CIA, NCS, et al.

One BIG question is WHY it took 4 FREAKING YEARS for the so-called "Supreme" Court to get around to addressing the OUTRIGHT MARXIST/POLITICAL miscarriage of JUSTICE on American citizens BY the "justice" department, the federal JUDICIARY (and) the BOGUS, UNCONSTITUTIONAL J-6 Committee - who should ALL be in federal prisons NOW for what THEY did to sovereign Americans who journeyed to D.C to voice their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS over the OUTRIGHT THEFT of the 2020 federal election - and are no doubt going to do the SAME in 2024!

Joe Biden wasn't kidding when he said on TV - PRIOR to the 2020 election: "WE have in place the best voter fraud plan in US history.

Actually the socialists have been whittling away at our Republic for at least a century. Wilson was the prime mover when they put him in office

Absolutely right, Michael...difference is THEN and NOW, is that the MARXIST Socialist/Communist elements in America a century ago ( and more, really), did NOT fully control virtually EVERY institution and 'lever' of power extant - as "THEY" do NOW here in the USSA, circa 2024 AD...after their VERY successful "Long March Through the Institutions" by advocates of: Antonio Gramsci, Eric Fromm, Theodor Adorno (and) Herbert Marcuse, who encouraged the absolute deconstruction of the U.S. - from WITHIN! So,NOW, TODAY, the "Collective Leftist" piles of excrement are hitting the fan - and the American people - right in their collective kissers! FEW seem to give a damn! Many seem to LIKE being subjugated to 'noble (sounding) causes' such as "saving the earth", or saving the whales, or the birds, or the fish or the water, or DEI and "social-justice" - which is STRAIGHT out of the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO!

America has become a characture of itself very similar to the movie - CATCH-22. INSANE and totally UPSIDE-DOWN - even to the FACT that PRE-1970, the DEMOCRAT party color was RED and the Republican BLUE! THAT switcheroo

was pulled off by the FAKE NEWS MEDIA - specifically NBC and CBS - with the other Leftist "free-press" dutifully falling in line.

NO PUSHBACK AT ALL from the "Republicans"!

Sez it all!

I was taught NOTHING in public schools, until college, regarding communism. I took a class on the USSR, by a former diplomat (canтАЩt recall his name), in college. This was before the тАШfallтАЩ. Although, if Jeffery Sachs is to be believed, it didnтАЩt happen the way 'Night Line' portrayed it. Another class was about how тАШterrorism' was going to be the warfare of the future.

Probably no worse than many other well paid presenters who were fawned over. (Many people were prima donnas in the networks.) From people who knew, Frank Reynolds and Peter Jennings we considered more down to earth than most.

Like T. Paine said - "These are Times that Try Mens Souls" - and he also spoke of "sunshine patriots and summertime soldiers" - which proves some things NEVER change. Darwin struck OUT as far as the Homo-Sapiens species (and) "evolution" is concerned.

One BIG difference was when Tom Paine wrote "Common Sense" people in the colonies - as elsewhere - actually READ BOOKS to EDUCATE themselves.

We really do need a new party. Things seem to be a little similar to when the repubs replaced the whigs.

I humbly submit, the GOPP.

The Grand Old Pirate Party,

ARRR (founded by the Assoc of Retired Rainbow Republicans).

Its time to throw the krats off the boat.

No, just vote smart. Conservatives are winning elections now. Give them a chance

we do, its the insane rabid democrats, and the idiot independents, and the never trumpers, that just cannot vote smart

The repubs we have now are kind of worthless, or downright destructive, to our country (all the democrats are destructive) and if they cant fix this, its time for a new party.

I am optimistic, however, Scott Adams points out, correctly, that humans are very good at dealing with slow moving disasters, and the leftist vermin, and the democrat rodents, are slow moving.

The Federal government needs the fixing. States can do what the voters want....don't like it move. Noble to put the fix in state by state......but that is the definition of a Republic...let it happen.

yep, I suspect after the debate, that a lot of idiot dims have realized they have bought into a lot of lies over the past few years,

I mean, a lot of these brain dead fools did not believe their lying eyes, and believed the pretty words the leftists employ

NC is slowly turning red again, it was tragically blue for decades, and we may be getting our first black (repub) governor this year.
