It’s so bizarre to see Republicans who’ve been backing Trump for years now all of a sudden turn on the guy on a dime. I can’t tell if they just wanna distance themselves from him now because his reputation is just that bad at this point or if they always saw the guy as a useful idiot that they were gonna throw to the wolves when it was convenient for them anyways.
I still support Donald Trump. Ike was President when I was born, so have seen many Presidents. Trump has his failings, but far as I'm concerned he's the best President since Reagan. Have never doubted President Trump's desire to put America and the American people first. The Dems stole the election from him. Once he steps down from office there will be NO leadership in Washington, just office-holders.
If anyone has noticed, ever since congress got cucked last week, all they seem to be doing is acting like a bunch of little bitches. Can't think of anything they've done to meet the needs of the people. All they are worried about is punishing the peons who had the audacity to enter their holy sepulchre. Hate to say it, but a person really needs to step back and wonder if democracy has simply failed in the USA. The vast majority of senators and congresspeople are re-elected, time after time. They apparently end up believing they are the people's masters instead of their servants. And some of those elected to congress are idiots, such as the clown who was worried about Guam tipping over, or AOC, etc. Even worse, there are plenty who milk their time in office for the maximum financial gain possible, for themselves, their relatives, and their friends. Haven't we all seen too much of that? Remember, Donald Trump accepted no salary as President, donated it throughout his term.
It's been said that the first 535 names in a phone book could govern the country better than the present office-holders in congress. Am quite sure of that. I could see all formerly-elected positions being filled by lottery, with basic age/background qualifications. You'd serve one term, period. Selections staggered for continuity. President and Vice President would be chosen by lottery, at different times, from those who'd previously served as Senators/Representatives. You don't need to be a genius to be a great public servant. Just have common sense and be willing to listen. Problem is now, too many office-holders, at all levels, once elected, no longer care about those who elected them. See that in the city I live in. Not voting any more except for bond issues and initiatives. Otherwise, my vote is meaningless.
Here's a story about a Congresswoman who's told Harvard to fuck off after they canceled her from a board where she'd been serving for many years. Looks like she has some guts.
Harvard removes GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik from advisory board as part of purge. Here’s her response.

New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik was removed from a politics advisory board at Harvard University over claims of voting irregularities in the 2020 presidential election.
“Over the past several days, Mark Gearan and I have spent a good deal of time considering the role at the Institute of Politics of our colleague Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, whom I have included in this message,” Dean Douglas Elmendorf wrote to the Senior Advisory Committee of the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, which Gearan heads.
“Mark and I have read public materials, listened to students and alumni, and consulted with colleagues at Harvard on this important matter,” Elmendorf continued,
“Following this consideration, I spoke with Elise and asked her to step aside from the Senior Advisory Committee. My request was not about political parties, political ideology, or her choice of candidate for president,” he wrote.
“Rather, in my assessment, Elise has made public assertions about voter fraud in November’s presidential election that have no basis in evidence, and she has made public statements about court actions related to the election that are incorrect,” wrote Elmendorf. “Moreover, these assertions and statements do not reflect policy disagreements but bear on the foundations of the electoral process through which this country’s leaders are chosen.
“I made this request to Elise mindful of her important contributions to the crucial mission of the Institute of Politics over a long period, beginning with her role as a student leader (she was in the class of 2006) and continuing to her mentoring students and strengthening the IOP’s programming in many ways. I know that we are grateful for her long and committed service,” he noted further.
“In my conversation with Elise, she declined to step aside, and I told her that I would therefore remove her from the IOP’s Senior Advisory Committee at this time,” Elmendorf said.
Last week, Stefanik joined scores of other House Republicans in objecting to slates of electors from states where officials altered voting rules and procedures ahead of the Nov. 3 General Election. Stefanik and others have said they believe those changes were unconstitutional because they were not made by state legislatures and appeared to violate existing state election laws.
Nevertheless, her objection led more than 750 Harvard students and alumni to petition for her removal from the board.
In response, the New York Republican
blasted the decision, saying that the board now consists “only of Joe Biden voters.”
“As a conservative Republican, it is a rite of passage and badge of honor to join the long line of leaders who have been boycotted, protested, and canceled by colleges and universities across America,” Stefanik said in a statement.
“The decision by Harvard’s administration to cower and cave to the woke Left will continue to erode diversity of thought, public discourse, and ultimately the student experience,” she continued. “The Ivory Tower’s march toward a monoculture of like-minded, intolerant liberal views demonstrates the sneering disdain for everyday Americans and will instill a culture of fear for students who will understand that a conservative viewpoint will not be tolerated.”
“I relish the opportunity to stand up for freedom of speech and freedom of thought on college campuses across America,” she added. “Congratulations Harvard, the entire Board of the Institute of Politics now consists only of Joe Biden voters — how reflective of America.”

I've heard people say lefties don't care at all that boomers or whatever stormed the capitol but about the police response and use of force between the two types of protests was unfair.
