Will the Orange Man do one last mad thing before he's shown the door? Iran maybe?

So the Republican Party is resisting expelling someone who calls for murdering Pelosi and supports QAnon and other bizarre conspiracy theories such as school shootings are false flags to grab guns. I suppose they think they can eventually neuter this person and bring her into the mainstream. Which they thought they could do with Donald Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-55924643 |

Yeah. The Republicans need to have a long hard think about who they want to be. Demographic changes make their current trajectory unsustainable - as well as dangerous. I'm sure the more moderate Republicans are thinking hard about their direction post-Trump

If Trump starts his own party it's over for them.
But such a party would struggle to win elections. But they won't see elections as the only path to power.

On January 6, a mob of about 800 stormed the U.S. Capitol in support of former President Donald Trump, and many people made quick assumptions regarding who the insurrectionists were. Because a number of the rioters prominently displayed symbols of right-wing militias, for instance, some experts called for a crackdown on such groups. Violence organized and carried out by far-right militant organizations is disturbing, but it at least falls into a category familiar to law enforcement and the general public. However, a closer look at the people suspected of taking part in the Capitol riot suggests a different and potentially far more dangerous problem: a new kind of violent mass movement in which more “normal” Trump supporters—middle-class and, in many cases, middle-aged people without obvious ties to the far right—joined with extremists in an attempt to overturn a presidential election.

Pity the 'King of Punk' wasn't in attendance with his fellow racists. Wonder if he'll be rushing to get interviews now? Of course not as he hasn't got one of his rubbish records to promote. Who is the ‘King of Punk’? |

I'm sure the more moderate Republicans are thinking hard about their direction post-Trump It was interesting observing which side of the aisle those people were going to sit on, either pro-coup or pro-democracy. A frightening amount chose the former but it’s not surprising considering America is a third-world country. |
