I live in her district. She’s a carpetbagger and refuses to meet with her constituents. Her campaign got some heat as her recent town hall was purportedly packed with members of a local Trump support group. https://poststar.com/news/local/groups-say-stefanik-staff-urged-pro-trump-supporters-to-attend/article_135c43e8-0…

But her star rose dramatically during the hearings, in which she made the choice to embrace a full-throated defense of Donald Trump, who in turn praised her as a “new Republican star” citing her combative exchanges with House Intelligence chair Adam Schiff and her bullish push of Republican talking points.

I had to raise an eyebrow at that line as well, but honestly let’s not go there.

Fuck Elise Stefanik.  What an asshole.  

Bless her heart. She actually thinks the old white men will respect her if she jumps on the Trump train.

No, it’s misogynist to call any woman (or man) the “c” word.  There are plenty of other words available to assail her character with.  Feckless is perfectly fine.  Asshole is fine too.  Shill, loser, morally bankrupt, etc.....

That’s all conservative things are MEANT to do.

“Meanwhile, Eaton Bravo’s salary from the Obria Group—the national umbrella group for the clinics—is $192,000 a year.”

Recently, she accused the organization of lying to the people who gave it money and orchestrating federal grants as a “cash grab” to pay executive salaries.

I don’t think they’re all conservatives, but your point stands: they think their lack of party affiliation makes them smart and independent thinkers.

That they are extremely susceptible to Republican propaganda about this being a “show trial” (as opposed to a preliminary inquiry before an actual trial in the Senate)…

Eight months later, it’s unclear exactly how those funds are being used, and reports portray the Obria health centers as deeply unprepared to provide the services initially promised.

Most self-described “independents” are conservatives that get off on not associating with Republicans because they think it makes them smarter than everybody else. 

In related news, “independents” are now turning against the inquiry.

I fucking hate this country.

I’m thinking that, as well. This many people aren’t being blackmailed, etc. They are full on drinking that koolaid and are finally taking off whatever decent person skin suit they may have been wearing. Lindsay Graham sounds batshit these days, but maybe he always was. I’m not ready for the level of crazy we are all…

Liz Cheney has been described as a “star” for the GOP and she’s about as vile as they come. It’s almost like all Republican “stars” are universally terrible (see, also: Matt Gaetz).

I don’t think it’s fair to call this a “belief” anymore. The Republican Party is demonstrably the party of Trump.  They’ve made this monster and now he owns them.  The “Never Trumpers” Trump likes to accuse people of being are no more.  If they ever were to begin with.  They’re now retired, planning to retire, or they…

Yeah, they won’t say it out loud, but the reason why the Republican base is so panicked by the thought of Democrats taking control is because the Republican Party is the party of white people. It’s not Medicare for All that panics them. It’s not “socialism” that puts them in a tizzy. It’s the thought of what might…

Just doesn’t shock me. She’s from that part of New York State that had Lock Her Up signs in front yards. I grew up nearby, and the racism and xenophobia and second amendment claptrap that comes out of the mouths of people I am somewhat related to has made me leave the room and never speak to them again. She is from…

Yeah putting your neck out for trump never back fires. 

I don’t think that the Republicans who support this mad dog regime are doing it as a matter of temporary expedience anymore. I think that they believe that the Republican base has openly embraced racial bigotry, nativism, and contempt for common decency for the foreseeable future and have grasped that as their future…
