President Trump wasn't politically correct. He was just correct.
Quoting Lauren Boebert, a crazyass House rep with an arrest record who barely managed to earn a GED and whose husband pled guilty to whipping it out in a bowling alley in front of minors, on a college politics board?

Both dumb and unoriginal.

This tells you all you need to know about the Bieberts:

Boebert's future husband, Jayson, also had brushes with law enforcement. In January 2004, he was arrested after allegedly exposing his ***** to two women at a bowling alley, according to an arrest affidavit. Lauren Boebert (then age 17 and known as Lauren Opal Roberts) was also there. Jayson Boebert pleaded guilty to public indecency and lewd exposure, earning himself four days in jail and two years' probation

In February 2004, he was booked on a domestic violence charge, against Lauren Boebert. He "did unlawfully strike, shove or kick and subjected her to physical contact," a spokesman for the Garfield associate county court clerk told The Post. They had been dating at the time.

Jayson Boebert ultimately served seven days in jail.

Lauren Boebert took her revenge in May 2004 during an altercation with Jayson at his home in which she scratched his face and chest and trashed his residence, according to a police report. She was slapped with third-degree assault, criminal mischief and underage drinking charges. A rep for the Garfield County Combined Court said they could not reveal any information about the case's final disposition.

This issue is really, really simple. Ms. Cheney simply stood up for the truth which is Trump incited the insurrection and needed to be impeached in her opinion. She also has stood up for the TRUTH relative to the election was NOT stolen. Trump lost, but he continues to perpetuate THE LIE. The Republican Paryt of which I used to belong (now Independent) is nothing more than the party of Trump. If you are a Republican and refuse to perpetuate THE LIE, Trump will try to "primary you". Unfortunately, the majority of the Republican/Trump Party are gutless, cowardly people that are scared of Trump and are too concerned about being Trump turning on them and they won't get reelected so the cower in the corner and will not tell the truth and do what is right, save a couple...Romney, Kiinsinger ect. I give Ms Cheney credit for doing what is right and taking on that ****ing Bully. Just watch the pathetic flip flops from spineless Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy. Just pathetic. I cannot believe that these grown ass adults let Trumps control them. Just sad. Again, Trump lost.....presidency, senate, and congress. What more do ya'll Trumpers not understand.
Everything you say is a lie.
Really? Please refute with facts, son.


You're not worth the effort and it wouldn't change your worthless opinions. Why bother?
because you are a blowhard who doesn't deal in facts. You said my post was all lies. I ask you to refute, and we get deflection from you and your ilk. Here are some facts that I will give you the opportunity to refute, once again.....You can blame Biden and his polices that will one enacted direction on Trump. Trump lost the Presidency, Senate and House. He could have saved the house, hence blocked Dem policies if he didn't **** up Georgia. He's and idiot. Instead of righting the ship, he has blown up the GOP (my former party).
Look in the mirror for the blowhard-in-chief. "You can blame Biden and his polices that will one enacted direction on Trump." What does that even mean? The worthless Bush/Cheney/Romney/McCain 1%-type Republicans gave us Trump. Had they done a halfway decent job, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Did you really just claim that Romney had anything to do with giving us Trump?
It's a decent argument. Romney in 2012 was a total milque-toast, the kind of loser who couldn't win the White House if he ran against Carter.

Republicans realized they needed a candidate with some fire and noise.
yes, and most of the GOP I know would like a " do over"


You must mean the NeverTrump crowd who gave us the current idiot-in-chief.
Trump is the showboat that cost R's the WH, Senate, H of R, and majority of governorships - he's all fire and noise.


Did you vote for him?
I wanted to but could not. (And before you get excited, I didn't vote for Biden).
I didn't want to, but did. You are part of the problem in conceding to the left. This isn't complicated.

Voting on principle and conscience over party is only a problem for those who are unprincipled and without conscience.
Empty words. I didn't vote for a party. I voted based on what I believed is best for the America I once loved, and against those who would destroy her. I voted on what I thought best for my children and grandchildren. The regressives are the enemy.
And you think Trump was good for "Merica"?


I think stemming the flow of illegals, improving the judiciary, pushing back on China, and generally putting American interests first were all good for America. Sharp contrast to the existential threat posed by the regressives. What's your take?
My take is that Trump will go down as one of the worst Presidents in our history. He gets credit for judges, however. Also gets credit for 1)Losing the Presidency 2)Losing the Senate 3)Losing Congress....all 3 of which have given us the lefty loons in charge. Thank, Trump, you loser!


What is wrong with you? Of course he lost those three, but the point is it was largely because of RINOs who actively or passively collaborated with the regressives combined with the lunacy of our response to COVID.
Bro, are you nuts? Had nothing to do with RINO's . It had 100% to do with his boorish behavior and pathological lying . He is a terrible human and people just got tired of his BS. That BS he and Rudy pulled in Georgia was the final straw. Hope you enjoy Biden and the left. You can blame big orange. How does 1 President lose all 3? He's a loser and was fired to use his parlance.


Would that be the loser who garnered more actual votes than any candidate in history other than the current pudding brained idiot now in the White House (perhaps illegitimately)? Bro, are you nuts? Without the complicity of the RINOs, there's no way asshat Biden wins.
Yes that would be the loser who lost to the likes of Biden and who lost the popular vote to HRC. Look no further. He is the only reason Biden is in office. He was so stupid, he beat himself.

Quote from me supporting Biden. Take your time.
Again, you continue to duck the bigger problem; your constant hostility against anyone just for supporting the 45th President.

I know better than to waste time with someone quick to virtue signal, but will never admit when he is wrong.
You're accusing him of following your historical tactics on this board, as a means to deflect. You're being disingenuous.

If there are two choices (which, realistically, is all there are) and you condemn one choice, in metered verse using backup singers (which you have), you are supporting the remaining choice. One cannot come to a crossroads, claim 'there be monsters' to the right and not accept the defacto support for going left.

You and every other never Trumper supported and continue to support socialist policies and politicians. Just own it.
Thank you. It's BS, but at least it's honest BS. Hopefully the cowards will take a lesson.


RINOs have indeed always been cowards...far more afraid of upsetting the left than of upsetting conservative voters. The only policies you lot fight tooth and nail against are conservative policies, whilst capitulating to virtually ever left wing power grab for decades.
Well, congratulations. You've just replaced a conservative leader with one who resisted Trump's legislative efforts but supported his temper tantrum.

Policy before personality, indeed.


Cheney isn't a conservative. No one who advocated impeachment is a conservative. Conservatives don't advocate violating the constitution.
Impeachment is in the Constitution, my friend. Oh, but I forgot...cult is gonna cult.


^^^ Am I mistaken or is Sam calling republicans a cult here?

To make our point has he ever labeled democrats a cult or anything negative at all

Methinks Sam = Emporer w no clothes?

Cheney isn't a conservative. No one who advocated impeachment is a conservative. Conservatives don't advocate violating the constitution.
Cheney has a far more conservative voting record than Stefanik (ACU rates Cheney 78% far above Stefanik 44%). By some metrics, Rep. Ilhan Omar has a more conservative voting record than Stefanik. Omar has a higher Club for Growth lifetime rating than Stefanik (at 35%). Cheney is certainly more conservative than Trump. By your own comment above you indict Trump, because, as you say, "conservatives don't advocate violating the constitution." Trump has no regard for the Constitution (it's doubtful he has ever read it). Many Republicans recognized that the choice before them was whether they should support the greater evil and threat personified in Trump, which is Trump's self over country, authoritarian assault on our democracy, the rule of law, and the Constitution. Enough said no to Trump, and yes to democracy.

Policy before personality, indeed.
We replaced a conservative leader who lost the confidence of her caucus because she was unable to get past her own gargantuan egocentrism and represent the overwhelming sentiments of her district and caucus. Churchill crossed the aisle when he found himself at odds with the rest of his caucus; Cheney should do the same. If she's not ready to do that, she should at minimum have resigned her leadership position rather than use it to undermine an otherwise united caucus. But she didn't do that. And in so doing became the megalomaniac she accuses Trump to be.

The new leader, on the other hand, had no problem balancing the task of representing her district on policy AND playing team ball with her caucus on partisan issues. She was willing to fight for a man who's policies she was not always able to support. And she fought very well, too. Gained my respect, even though I occasionally disagree with her on policy positions. She earned this promotion.

Lost in the debate is the reality that the Conference Chairmanship is often filled by a moderate, for balance within the caucus....to give moderates in the GOP caucus a stake in leadership. So this change actually enlarges the tent, so to speak.

The virtue posture is a hard habit to break. But if you keep trying, you might be able to shake it.
Stefanik earned it, not by voting record, but by kissing the ring. The more the party moves to the the Trump extreme, the greater the loses in the coming election. Trump is a losing formula, and doubling down on him will insure continued Democratic control of both houses in 2022. He's to polarizing, and un-american to appeal to a majority, and that's what is required to win.

1. There are people who tried to steal an election, but they weren't republicans.
2. "Trump is the embodiment of unconstitutional"? That's the stupidest thing I have read in a while. You think his mean tweets are unconstitutional. Laff
3. The constitution defines impeachment and the house (along with Cheney) violated that, very plainly.

Yep, Trump is the embodiment of unconstitutional. On the other hand impeachment is a constitutional process that a majority of the House determines.
"Because I don't like him" does not define unconstitutionality, TS.
His actions, like trying to steal an election define him.
1. There are people who tried to steal an election, but they weren't republicans.
2. "Trump is the embodiment of unconstitutional"? That's the stupidest thing I have read in a while. You think his mean tweets are unconstitutional. Laff
3. The constitution defines impeachment and the house (along with Cheney) violated that, very plainly.
1. Trump called for his base to rally on the Jan. 6th, pumped them up, and launched on the Capitol to unconstitutionally stop the then occurring constitutional process of certifying the election. They were more so cult followers than they were Republicans.
2. His tweets reflect his malignant narcissitic personality disorder. His attempt to prevent certification of the election was his paramount unconstitutional activity.
3. The Constitution provides for impeachment, and the house determines the rules of the process. There is no finding that constitutional process was violated, except in the figment of Trump's imagination.

Quote from me supporting Biden. Take your time.


If there are two choices (which, realistically, is all there are) and you condemn one choice, in metered verse using backup singers (which you have), you are supporting the remaining choice. One cannot come to a crossroads, claim 'there be monsters' to the right and not accept the defacto support for going left.

You and every other never Trumper supported and continue to support socialist policies and politicians. Just own it.
Thank you. It's BS, but at least it's honest BS. Hopefully the cowards will take a lesson.


RINOs have indeed always been cowards...far more afraid of upsetting the left than of upsetting conservative voters. The only policies you lot fight tooth and nail against are conservative policies, whilst capitulating to virtually ever left wing power grab for decades.
Well, congratulations. You've just replaced a conservative leader with one who resisted Trump's legislative efforts but supported his temper tantrum.

Policy before personality, indeed.


Cheney isn't a conservative. No one who advocated impeachment is a conservative. Conservatives don't advocate violating the constitution.

This issue is really, really simple. Ms. Cheney simply stood up for the truth which is Trump incited the insurrection and needed to be impeached in her opinion. She also has stood up for the TRUTH relative to the election was NOT stolen. Trump lost, but he continues to perpetuate THE LIE. The Republican Paryt of which I used to belong (now Independent) is nothing more than the party of Trump. If you are a Republican and refuse to perpetuate THE LIE, Trump will try to "primary you". Unfortunately, the majority of the Republican/Trump Party are gutless, cowardly people that are scared of Trump and are too concerned about being Trump turning on them and they won't get reelected so the cower in the corner and will not tell the truth and do what is right, save a couple...Romney, Kiinsinger ect. I give Ms Cheney credit for doing what is right and taking on that ****ing Bully. Just watch the pathetic flip flops from spineless Lindsey Graham and Kevin McCarthy. Just pathetic. I cannot believe that these grown ass adults let Trumps control them. Just sad. Again, Trump lost.....presidency, senate, and congress. What more do ya'll Trumpers not understand.
Everything you say is a lie.
Really? Please refute with facts, son.


You're not worth the effort and it wouldn't change your worthless opinions. Why bother?
because you are a blowhard who doesn't deal in facts. You said my post was all lies. I ask you to refute, and we get deflection from you and your ilk. Here are some facts that I will give you the opportunity to refute, once again.....You can blame Biden and his polices that will one enacted direction on Trump. Trump lost the Presidency, Senate and House. He could have saved the house, hence blocked Dem policies if he didn't **** up Georgia. He's and idiot. Instead of righting the ship, he has blown up the GOP (my former party).
Look in the mirror for the blowhard-in-chief. "You can blame Biden and his polices that will one enacted direction on Trump." What does that even mean? The worthless Bush/Cheney/Romney/McCain 1%-type Republicans gave us Trump. Had they done a halfway decent job, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

Did you really just claim that Romney had anything to do with giving us Trump?
It's a decent argument. Romney in 2012 was a total milque-toast, the kind of loser who couldn't win the White House if he ran against Carter.

Republicans realized they needed a candidate with some fire and noise.
yes, and most of the GOP I know would like a " do over"


You must mean the NeverTrump crowd who gave us the current idiot-in-chief.
Trump is the showboat that cost R's the WH, Senate, H of R, and majority of governorships - he's all fire and noise.


Did you vote for him?
I wanted to but could not. (And before you get excited, I didn't vote for Biden).
I didn't want to, but did. You are part of the problem in conceding to the left. This isn't complicated.

Voting on principle and conscience over party is only a problem for those who are unprincipled and without conscience.
Empty words. I didn't vote for a party. I voted based on what I believed is best for the America I once loved, and against those who would destroy her. I voted on what I thought best for my children and grandchildren. The regressives are the enemy.
And you think Trump was good for "Merica"?


I think stemming the flow of illegals, improving the judiciary, pushing back on China, and generally putting American interests first were all good for America. Sharp contrast to the existential threat posed by the regressives. What's your take?
My take is that Trump will go down as one of the worst Presidents in our history. He gets credit for judges, however. Also gets credit for 1)Losing the Presidency 2)Losing the Senate 3)Losing Congress....all 3 of which have given us the lefty loons in charge. Thank, Trump, you loser!


What is wrong with you? Of course he lost those three, but the point is it was largely because of RINOs who actively or passively collaborated with the regressives combined with the lunacy of our response to COVID.
Bro, are you nuts? Had nothing to do with RINO's . It had 100% to do with his boorish behavior and pathological lying . He is a terrible human and people just got tired of his BS. That BS he and Rudy pulled in Georgia was the final straw. Hope you enjoy Biden and the left. You can blame big orange. How does 1 President lose all 3? He's a loser and was fired to use his parlance.


Would that be the loser who garnered more actual votes than any candidate in history other than the current pudding brained idiot now in the White House (perhaps illegitimately)? Bro, are you nuts? Without the complicity of the RINOs, there's no way asshat Biden wins.
Yes that would be the loser who lost to the likes of Biden and who lost the popular vote to HRC. Look no further. He is the only reason Biden is in office. He was so stupid, he beat himself.


Pretty stupid assertion that "he is the only reason" for a supposed man of science. How about COVID? How about unhinged media? How about a degraded electorate? How about 50 years of the long march through our institutions? And on and on...

And prophets like AOC and Obama, and global warming hysteria and population control and abortion and rewriting history to fit their orthodoxy and actively attacking real religions that oppose them. There certainly is a cult in politics, but it's not on the right.

To the left, the founding fathers are pagan gods, capitalism and freedom are sins, abortion is a sacrament, the media are their priests, university grievance studies departments are their churches, global warming is a gospel narrative, their koolaid is k-12 indoctrination, and the government takeover prompted by their Chinese allies' COVID leak is just the first of many revivals.

Biden's not a socialist.

He is, however, being forced further to the left by Republicans refusal to work toward the center even on basic things like infrastructure that most Americans know we need to invest in.

If he has to go to the left to gain enough support to pass things because moderate Republcians with common sense are either afraid to vote outside party lines or no longer present in Congress, that's what he'll do. If moderate Republicans show up, he'll work toward the center.

Kicking out Liz because she doe not like Trump is stupid.

Kicking out Liz because she is a piece of **** war monger and corporate money worshiping ***** is absolutely correct.
Liz is a never trump idiot that falls for and participates in false media narratives. %A0She can be in congress if her constituents want her, but in no way should be in any kind of leadership position. %A0
I wonder how many of the same posters who are arguing that Liz Cheney is a "war monger" who wants to keep us involved in endless conflicts also were all for the invasions post 9/11, argued Obama was an idiot for continuing the Iraq drawdown and think that maintaining stability in the Mid-East is of vital importance for energy reasons and to help Israel?

Also amazing that people who continually whine about politicians not sticking to their guns based on careerism will castigate someone for taking a position that is obviously the opposite of careerism.
Yep
is it really? %A0 Is she really going to get hurt if she loses her seat? %A0is she really in it for Wyoming? %A0

She lands on her feet no matter what. %A0It's the people of Wyoming who finally get someone who represents them, and the GOP caucus in Congress who gets a leader who knows how to team-build rather than virtue posture.
The problem is the GOP not tolerating differences of opinion. %A0If you don't line up with Trump you're out
Yeah. This is not the way to team-build.
Particularly when you're already fighting an uphill battle both demographically and in your silly religious culture war.

From a purely political standpoint, the Republicans' decision-making since 2015 has been utterly baffling.
Is it really silly to suggest that biological men should not be competing against biological women in sport? %A0That's it in a nutshell. %A0I can think of a number of non-religious reasons for opposing same.

It's silly to act like that's a major issue ... or even a significant part of the trans rights conversation.

And perhaps if the religious right could start in a place of acknowledgment that transgender people deserve basic human dignity and respect, we could have a more nuanced conversation on how to handle rare and specific cases like those you reference here.
It's a major issue because of the precedent it sets. %A0It's a Pandora's box, and could eventually lead to the door being closed to many women who wish to play sports. %A0See the girls in Connecticut who claim they had scholarship opportunities squelched because two biological men who identified as women took first and second in the state track championship's 100m.

I don't know many on the right who think that trans people don't deserve respect and dignity. %A0But often times those terms are code words used by people to mean special rights for people who suffer from mental disorders that cause them to believe they are the opposite sex. %A0And now it is being used by misguided parents to abuse children, in the form of puberty blockers that cause permanent and lasting damage to children. %A0

History has shown that civilizations begin to decline when rampant immorality (particularly, sexual) infects the civilization. %A0The idea that standing up for a moral code is silly, is an idea that is in and of itself silly.



The good old slippery slope fallacy -- a favorite of the church and most others desiring to stall change they're afraid of and/or don't understand.

And your second paragraph is proven false both by the daily verbiage on this board and by your own post here. Referring to transgender as a mental disorder, when the medical and mental health community do not, is not treating those individuals with dignity or respect. It's doing quite the opposite.
Tell me, in what way do I not understand transgenderism? %A0Please enlighten me.

And it's not a logical fallacy if what I described is actually happening, which of course it is.

As for my second paragraph, just FYI, until very recently transgenderism was indeed classified as a mental disorder, and still is by that little medical organization known as the WHO. %A0So how did that designation change? %A0A number of transgender advocates and activists began lobbying medical organizations to label it as something other than what it actually is, which of course they did, succumbing to the pressure from the woke crowd which denies biology, and believes that one can choose their gender. %A0Sorry, but medical organizations that more closely resemble political organizations, and can be lobbied to deny science, don't hold as much weight for me as they do you.

I respect transgender people's ability to live their lives as I do. %A0I simply don't deny science by classifying their behavior as normal, as you do. %A0That, it is not.

I know you are very bitter toward the church my friend, and Christianity in general, but it is the role of the church to be counter-cultural, not to conform to the ways of the world. %A0If that's silly, well, I guess it's been silly for around 2,000 years. %A0



Wrong.

https://time.com/5596845/world-health-organization-transgender-identity/

And the fact that you continue to conflate sex and gender is proof that you don't have a very firm grasp of this issue and have no desire to gain one.

And it is is the church's role to love and serve in a way that is counter-cultural. The fact that it has so badly missed this point is why I'm so bitter towards it.
No, I am right.%A0 They voted on the change in May 2019, but it does not go into effect until January of 2022.%A0 As of right now, it's still listed as a mental disorder by the WHO.%A0 Look it up.

As for sex vs. gender, I simply do not agree that there is a difference.%A0 The idea that gender is a social construct that can be changed, regardless of sex, is a recent (and unscientific) belief that denies biology.

With respect to your last point, your error is your belief that loving someone is not telling them about sin.%A0 This is the opposite of love, and leads them down a primrose path to destruction.%A0 But the fact it is a stumbling block for you is no surprise.%A0 It has been to people for centuries, and especially in today's culture where people don't want to be told their decisions and lifestyles are immoral.
Calling conclusions drawn and decisions made by the scientific community "unscientific" without a science background or any expertise whatsoever on this subject reeks of hubris IMO.

And play the semantics game all you want, but the WHO has made and announced the decision to drop gender dysphoria as a mental disorder. The organization no longer views it as such, as you suggested above.
Sad considering treatment for gender dysphoria had a very high success rate.

The good old slippery slope fallacy -- a favorite of the church and most others desiring to stall change they're afraid of and/or don't understand.

And your second paragraph is proven false both by the daily verbiage on this board and by your own post here. Referring to transgender as a mental disorder, when the medical and mental health community do not, is not treating those individuals with dignity or respect. It's doing quite the opposite.
Tell me, in what way do I not understand transgenderism? %A0Please enlighten me.

And it's not a logical fallacy if what I described is actually happening, which of course it is.

As for my second paragraph, just FYI, until very recently transgenderism was indeed classified as a mental disorder, and still is by that little medical organization known as the WHO. %A0So how did that designation change? %A0A number of transgender advocates and activists began lobbying medical organizations to label it as something other than what it actually is, which of course they did, succumbing to the pressure from the woke crowd which denies biology, and believes that one can choose their gender. %A0Sorry, but medical organizations that more closely resemble political organizations, and can be lobbied to deny science, don't hold as much weight for me as they do you.

I respect transgender people's ability to live their lives as I do. %A0I simply don't deny science by classifying their behavior as normal, as you do. %A0That, it is not.

I know you are very bitter toward the church my friend, and Christianity in general, but it is the role of the church to be counter-cultural, not to conform to the ways of the world. %A0If that's silly, well, I guess it's been silly for around 2,000 years. %A0



Wrong.

And the fact that you continue to conflate sex and gender is proof that you don't have a very firm grasp of this issue and have no desire to gain one.

And it is is the church's role to love and serve in a way that is counter-cultural. The fact that it has so badly missed this point is why I'm so bitter towards it.
No, I am right.%A0 They voted on the change in May 2019, but it does not go into effect until January of 2022.%A0 As of right now, it's still listed as a mental disorder by the WHO.%A0 Look it up.

As for sex vs. gender, I simply do not agree that there is a difference.%A0 The idea that gender is a social construct that can be changed, regardless of sex, is a recent (and unscientific) belief that denies biology.

With respect to your last point, your error is your belief that loving someone is not telling them about sin.%A0 This is the opposite of love, and leads them down a primrose path to destruction.%A0 But the fact it is a stumbling block for you is no surprise.%A0 It has been to people for centuries, and especially in today's culture where people don't want to be told their decisions and lifestyles are immoral.
Calling conclusions drawn and decisions made by the scientific community "unscientific" without a science background or any expertise whatsoever on this subject reeks of hubris IMO.

And play the semantics game all you want, but the WHO has made and announced the decision to drop gender dysphoria as a mental disorder. The organization no longer views it as such, as you suggested above.
Sad considering treatment for gender dysphoria had a very high success rate.
Seriously how many Americans have gender dysphoria?

Less than 1 percent of people?

Republicans have made this a political issue because people like you are stupid enough to buy that this is an issue.
