...and yet, from your posts, your grasp seems to be based on a very "narrow" field of view defined by certain cliches of what it means to be American, that you have embraced wholeheartedly...Male, White, Anglo-Saxon, Gun happy, Patriarchal, Testosterone loaded...to name a few. I have probably been exposed to a more diverse version of Americana than you.

LMAO, dollbaby. I didn't start here, I arrived here.
 
trump issues a "she was no more than a tea lady" statement on his website about Alyssa Farah, who said that trump knew he had lost the election, but was prodded into believing the fraud narrative.

She was a “backbencher” in the White House, and is now a nobody again.

I virtually never even spoke to Farah (it’s like she didn’t even exist in the White House)

Bonus statement from trump: 'Old broken down Crow' Mitch Mcconnell is a poopyhead; trump would never have agreed to go to Biden's inauguration, and he also probably would have gone to Biden's inauguration.

And, humorously, you still haven't condemned it...even though that would have required less digital ink. ;)

I have always condemned violence as a way to change the political direction of a peaceful, fair democracy.

I have always known that it is illegal to threaten presidents’ lives and I would never do that.

…
Your response is directly from the Republican playbook.
Rather than talk about the unfathomably criminal and apparently sociopathic behavior of President Trump, you choose to focus on a single post and argue about that.

So, let’s focus on the unfathomably criminal and apparently sociopathic behavior of President Man-child, a person who has never in his life demonstrated a scintilla of empathy. A person so self-centered that he bragged about the afternoon COVID press conferences receiving record TV ratings - how pathologically self-centered does one have to be to believe that people were tuning in to see oneself in that type of situation?

How petulant and immature does one have to be to unashamedly say that once he knew that the election was a fraud, he knew he would never go, but if McConnell had asked him not to go, then he would have gone?

What kind of cognitive dissonance is necessary to pretend that this behavior is not embarrassingly repugnant?

Largely from the Republican side, at least, though not completely. With that said, of course, it may be unsurprising that a Republican Senator decided to tweet an animation of himself murdering Congresswoman AOC and President Biden not long ago. That he hasn't been removed from his position already is problematic.

If a schoolkid had done this, they'd be expelled and would probably be in a jail or juvenile center right now. What's really problematic is that a political party that has the allegiance of 45% of U.S. adults has decided to refuse to play by the rules, and has no sense of decency and propriety. This will not end well.
 
Mnuchin, Pompeo Mulled Plan To Remove Trump After January 6

ABC News's Jonathan Karl writes in "Betrayal" that then-Treasury Secretary
Steve Mnuchin spoke with other Cabinet members including then-Secretary
of State Mike Pompeo about attempting to remove Trump from office through
the 25th Amendment, according to excerpts published by MSNBC.

Karl, during an interview with MSNBC's "Morning Joe" early Monday,
said Pompeo "asked for a legal analysis of the 25th Amendment and
how it would work," but the idea was "quickly jettisoned" the next day
once the officials recognized how difficult the path for such an effort
would be, namely as then-Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and then-
Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao were resigning.

"It would not be quick enough and it would be subject to legal challenges,"
Karl said on MSNBC. "But in the hours after the riot, there were high-level
conversations about this," he emphasized. Karl attributes the reporting to
"a source familiar with the conversations" and told the MSNBC hosts that
his story is "rock solid."

Okay. A line does exist, if it's not too inconvenient.

Even the GOP hopes that Trump cheats at golf once too often and gets a driver through his skull. They'd love to be done with him.

I don't believe that.

Trump-inspired candidates are winning, the party has sacked Liz Cheney for not kissing his [anal] ring, and none of them mention January 6 without downplaying it.

He leads the 2024 R field by about infinity and the Republicans are more the Trump Party than ever.

They're not done with him, but I'd say they'd still like him dead rather than have to wipe his nose and line his pockets and hope he doesn't throw a tantrum before giving them what they want. Much easier to redirect the adoration to what Trump "would have wanted" instead. Look at the veneration of Saint Reagan.

I definitely think Dems should focus on Trump, and not worry about whatever lousy candidate they are going to field.

Small point, but the party can't "sack" Liz Cheney. You are in the party you register with.

No one likes or trusts a jackass as crazy as Trump, even the GOP. They're just being opportunistic as usual.
 
On the subject of silence etc. Onemight point out that having once established one's standards, perhaps one need not condemn every contrary post every time. I doubt, for example, whether Warp would be so eager for everyone who finds his posts ofensive to pile on every time. It might bloat the thread a little.

Tell them that. Although their actions don't strip her of any actual power.

Wyoming GOP votes to no longer recognize Liz Cheney as a party member

The Wyoming Republican Party voted over the weekend to no longer recognize Rep. Liz Cheney as a member of the party, the Casper Star-Tribune reported, a new instance of GOP blowback as Cheney continues to speak out against former President Donald Trump.
The resolution, which does not strip Cheney of any power, cleared the Wyoming GOP Central Committee on Saturday by a vote of 31-29, the report said.
