Here’s former Republican Majority Leader McConnell on the floor of the Senate proclaiming, “The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people.” And then comes Republican House leader Kevin McCarthy on the House floor: “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters.” Then he suggested censure of Trump instead of a second impeachment. The Democrats never turn on their own. For decades they praised as “the lion of the Senate” a drunk who abandoned a young woman to drown at the bottom of a pond. How to fathom these Quisling moves by GOP “leaders” in the last few days

Politicians are anxious to return to the old days where influence peddling and insider des made them rich

The establishment controls all the leadership positions of the Republican Party. You are not going to take over those positions, I don't care how many school board member positions you run for. We hear this about the Republican Party ever election cycle, and nothing has changed since the party began. It won't change now. You can go another direction, or you will keep getting what you have always gotten, including McConnell and McCarthy. You can primary Susan Collins, Mulkowski, Sasse, until you die, and they will still be Senators. Many of these states have open primaries, so primarying is not as simple as it sounds. California has the top vote getters, so the Republican may not even be on the general election ballot. None of it is going to matter, because the Democrats have taken control of every major American city, and will run motor voter, mail in, dead people ballots, and keep counting until the Democrat wins. Many say we need to get the state legislatures to change the rules. Really? State legislatures made the rule this election, and the Democrats broke them all without any consequence. Republican AG Barr said no fraud, Republicans all certified the election results, none of the Republican states have even audited the election results, and the Republican appointed SC will not hear any cases questioning the election. Sorry, but I just can't see that we are getting anything from the Republican Party.

Evil has corrupted both party’s. They will both self destruct while destroying this country. A third post will only provide an easier path for democrats to win. Remember Ross For Boss? Right now both parties are like Evil Knievel in his rocket bike launching across the Grand Canyon. I’m sick to my stomach and about ready to throw up. Disgusted with being a witness to the death of the Republic and the destruction of the Constitution before it very eyes.

Did you ever censure Sen. Robert Byrd the KKK member? Have you censured Maxine Waters for her incendiary talk about attacking people who work for and support Pres. Trump? Have you censured Nancy Pelosi or AOC for their vile talk? Let's get real. Shame on the RINO's for continuing this farce!!!!

I never expected to see such abject cowardness as Mitch and Kevin are showing. Whether the Russian collusion hoax, the fabricated impeachment, or now this, they know the truth. They represent a party that can't even guarantee a honest election, but they want our donations.

At the considerable risk of being canceled and arrested, jailed and re-edjumakated......
I will nonetheless say: The election was stolen and the riot/invasion was a false flag operation coordinated by the Commies (Dems) and their military wing Antifa.
Come and get me.
It breaks the heart of an immigrant like me to live to see the "Shining City on the Hill",
the last bastion of LIBERTY brought low by these scurvy dogs.

If the Republican Party does not change leadership away from Bendict Turtle and the other RINOs, the party will be destroyed.
Look what happened when H. Ross Perot joined the races-- he got 19% the first time and elected BJ Clinton over Poppy Bush and then re-elected BJ Clinton against moderate Bob Dole.
Then came W Bush who ran like he would be the next Ronaldus Magnus pre 9/11, and then we got McPain and Mittens going against Nobama.
What does this tell us? It says emphatically that whenever the RINOs run, WE LOSE.
The only hope we have of removing them is for them to get caught in a scandal, they retire, or they die in office-- They let primary challengers tear each other up and then win primaries sitting on their "war chests" built from lobbyist money, or those who want favors, so the only hope there is to SOMEHOW get them in a runoff.....
Third parties get the socialists elected, but they lack of fight in the current batch of worthless RINOs might just create a VIABLE 3rd party THIS TIME.

What to do now?
Primary these RINO losers.
Vote in people who will hold both parties to the same high standards.
Let's see Maxine get a censure vote for telling her mobs to attack Republicans on the streets and restaurants and where ever they go.

McConnell and McCarthy and not even Rhinos. They have turned into a spineless weasels. They have become useless rodents on par with Rats (Democrats). At least the Rats don't pretend to be something else.

With 30-40 million new “citizens” and Dominion voting machines, all of this is moot.

What McConnell and McCarthy just acknowledged assures me to leave the party. They can win election or try to win without my vote and support. Patriot party or nothing for me let the Republicans lose. I'm old and don't have that many election cycles in me to be voting or caring. I'll never see another Republican or any other party in power with democrats owning the landscape which was handed to them by Republicans and the Supreme Court. There's no consequences suffered by democrats for any of their criminal actions. It's over but some like Cruz sings out about fight fight fight. Fight what? Republicans didn't fight when they had the chance and stand with Trump. President Trump is the greatest President in my lifetime and did it all by himself with daggers sticking out of his back put there by a party of loser idiots.
No Joy Overbeck you are wrong to tell me to work harder for a party of trash that don't deserve it. The Republicans are all RiNOs they just don't know it. The Constitution is just a tourist attraction in Washington DC if you are able to get inside the fencing to view it. It's over the dirt just hasn't been thrown over our faces yet.

The Uniparty controls it all. The voting system is rigged to keep the corrupt and treasonous in power.
No point even bothering voting. The only possible remedies lie along other paths.

I will always vote for the best and most conservative candidate, and if that candidate is a Republican, fine. But the GOPe is not getting one more nanosecond of time, a tenth of an ounce of effort, or one thin dime from me. This last election.was the straw that broke the camel's back. And now you say you won't back PDT in the 2024 primaries, if he runs? No, thanks, GOPe...I'm divorcing you.

That mob was supported, enabled and encouraged by YOU Mr. Turtle. You, Schumer, Pelosi and even JoeBama/Harris support those Antifa thugs. Denying the extra security ahead of that day proves it in my book. Your CapCops even escorted and invited them into the buildings. Now we read the human dog named Bowser wants a permanent wall around DC. Why on earth do you deserve any kind of security? You haven't done a thing to earn it for 40 years or more Turtle.

I got news for a lot of Republicans. Many of us have already made up our minds and we are not going back to the old days of being fed outrage porn on Fox News by weak pathetic Republican politicians who are beholden to the E$tabli$ment. It’s easy for me. Never listen to Fox News again and never vote Republican again. Just waiting for Patriot Party to join and get behind.

I trust only one person besides my husband on earth, and he’s certainly not a politician. He’s at Mar-a-Lago.

How about forming the Patriot Caucus within the GOP? Organized, structured leadership, voting block to negotiate with the rinos?

If conservatives do succeed in regaining control of the Republican party and agenda, what will be left of the country by the time the Biden cabal is no longer in control? And why is there the assumption that there will ever be an actual election again at any level?

Evil, the likes of which are being paraded in our impotent faces is not new.
In other places, other times, such evil has been countered. But listing, much less advocating for the methods, would get the author banned, perhaps arrested.
Needless to say, the most dangerous man (or woman) is the one with nothing left to lose. And even as chains of slavery are being forged today, how many reading this are come to that "nothing left to lose" point?

Excellent point, #20. Lots of folks thinking along those lines. Backing men into corners with no way out is liable to get some unexpected results.
