    Trump Patriots aren't American Patriots, and Paula Lunatic is a fine example.

    They want to divide the country into Trump Patriots and their enemy, which is anyone else in America. It's sad, disturbing, and a terrible way to run the country. Too bad they can't all be fired for inciting Civil War.

    And of course, the dimwit uses this to promote his debunked movie that not only didn't prove anything of the sort, but has instead brought charges of defamation charges against dsouza and the so-called "true the vote" people...

    Rafael, you are a disgrace as a Senator. Why do I have the feeling that if Obama had done what Trump did you would not even think twice about refusing to pardon him. You are a hypocrite of law and order. How you haven't been disbarred already baffles me. You lied for Trump, and stood with the oath keepers to incite Americans with flat out conspiracy theories about a stolen election.

    The GOP knows Teddy and the Insurrectionist Party may be in trouble in Texas...

    GOP picks Houston for Republican National Convention in 2028
    “After a smart business decision made by the RNC last spring to allow us to select the next convention city earlier than ever, we are looking forward to seeing Houston in the spotlight come 2028,” Ronna McDaniel, chair of the RNC, said in a statement to POLITICO. “The entire RNC membership is eager to work with Mayor Sylvester Turner, the Houston Host Committee, and Houston First Corporation to follow in Milwaukee’s footsteps by delivering an incredible convention for our Party.”

    The RNC’s 168 members voted on the next convention city while gathered in Milwaukee on Friday, where the group was holding its summer meeting following Wednesday’s first RNC-sponsored primary debate.

    The committee has not yet announced dates for the 2028 convention, which is expected to take place in July or August of that year.

    Houston beat out four other Sun Belt cities that were being considered: Dallas, Nashville, Miami and Jacksonville. Nashville had been a finalist and was a favored location for the RNC’s 2024 convention, though planning efforts were ultimately scrapped after opposition from the city’s heavily Democratic council.

    Outgoing Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, a Democrat who is term-limited and cannot seek reelection, said the city is “proud” to be chosen as the site of the RNC’s 2028 gathering. He described Houston as “the nation’s most diverse and inclusive city,” one that “represents the future of the United States and our aspirations as a country.”

    “This keeps us on the global stage, allowing us to showcase our amazing venues and the people who keep our hotels, restaurants, and local businesses operating,” Turner said in a statement.

    While Texas remains a red state, shifting demographics and narrowing GOP margins in recent years have given Democrats a degree of hope in the state.

    Houston’s RNC convention bid committee has been chaired by business leader Ira Mitzner over the past year. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in a statement thanked the RNC for choosing Houston, which he said offers “a strong business environment, record-breaking job growth, and a hub of entertainment and tourism.”

    RNC members in April 2022 approved a rule change to allow the committee to begin selecting convention cities as far as six years out, after beginning the process of planning its 2024 gathering and realizing some cities’ hotels and convention centers were already booked up nearly three years in advance. Anne Hathaway, chair of the RNC’s convention site selection committee and the national committee member from Indiana, told POLITICO at the time that since major sporting events are being reserved years in advance, as well as large conventions like the National Rifle Association’s annual conference, the GOP needed to begin its city-scouting process earlier to have more options.

    Democrats have not made a similar change to their convention planning timeline.

    The RNC’s 2024 convention in Milwaukee will be held July 15 to 18.

    Actually Marge, Trump isn't above the law, and he is beneath most of those very people who live in "those neighborhoods" as you call them. I doubt most of "those people" as you say have less of a moral compass than Trump. In fact, I would bet most of the people in that neighborhood haven't committed a tenth of the crimes Trump has in his lifetime. Your racist take is showing lady.

    Trump is a lying psychopath who committed more felonies in 4 years than most of those people in jail have in their lifetime. I'm not even counting all his assaults on women and children, or corrupt business dealings over the years.

    Trump didn't have to spend a single night where conditions are so inhumane inmates have died or been eaten alive by bed bugs, as you say. The fact is, even if Trump is charged and convicted he won't spend his time in a cell of violent and dangerous criminals like so many innocent people do. In fact, he will probably have Secret Service Protection so he can't get raped and brutally attacked like so many wrongly accused have in this country.

    Supporting a sociopathic grifting narcissistic lying criminal like Trump is disturbing.

    What BACKFIRED was Trump trying to steal an election you coup conspiration traitor.

    Texas will be so much better with guys like Cruz, Abbott, Paxton, and the rest of the MAGA minds gone for good. We need to turn Texas Blue!

    An actual war between the states again is very unlikely. Even TX, AL, MS, any of the Red States still have pockets of blue in them that wouldn't go along. Especially a war for Trump given that there is a significant part of the Republican party that believes he committed a crime.

    What you could have though is acts of terrorism and riot like what we witnessed with the Murrah Federal Building and on Jan. 6. You could also have rogue law enforcement, national guard units or even US military units splitting off.

    Unfortunately given how interconnected we are and fragile our infrastructure is it wouldn't take a lot of people to do a lot of damage.

    The major networks don't care about giving some indicted felon and Ex President airtime to sit and brag about himself and lie repeatedly. I'm glad they are sick of his BS. There's nothing appealing about sitting and watching some lying sociopath uttering nonsense.

    ReAwaken America is back. So is the right wing roadshow’s antisemitic rant.

    Starting today (Aug. 25) in North Las Vegas, disgraced former General Michael Flynn and Eric Trump, son of the former president, will headline a lineup of MAGA celebrities for resumption, after a summer break, of the ReAwaken America Tour. A political rally in the form of an apostolic revival, the tour is a multi-day Christian nationalist event that includes appearances by “Pastors for Trump,” praise music and even baptisms combined with election denial, COVID-19 disinformation and QAnon conspiracy theories.

    Like many Christian-nationalist events, ReAwaken America also brings a bitter side of antisemitism.

    Tour speakers rarely make explicit calls to arms, instead providing their audiences with implicit permission to overturn elections by defending Jan. 6, dehumanizing and demonizing their opponents with language like “Team Jesus vs. Team Satan,” and convincing listeners that anything is justifiable if it’s for Jesus by using rhetoric such as “armor of God” and “spiritual warfare.”

    Let me fix those remarks for ya...

    It's un-American for some power hungry man to try and steal an election, spread the Big Lie, and incite a coup to try and stop the transition of power in the USA.

    We cannot have two tiers of justice: one for Trump, another for the rest of America.

    Peaceful protesters don't beat police, scream to hang the Vice President, and use force to break into the Capitol, armed with bear spray, zip ties, and makeshift weapons.

    You might not wear an eye patch, but you wear a blindfold.
