There is only one color of betrayal - no shades of gray - the republican party that I grew up with, is dead to me.
Agreed

To adapt a phrase from President Reagan:
“I didn’t leave the Republican party, the Republican Party left me.”

The Republican Party:

The GOP party of Lincoln is dead, having been taken over by RINOS. The same is true of the Democrat Party being taken over by The Communist/Socialist radicals.

The GOP party of Lincoln has been dead since the Rockefeller-Republicans laid waste to it back in the 1960's

The Democrat Party has always been little more than the party of communist/socialist radicals - back in the 1800's they just called it what it was - slavery.



Same as it ever was.

An underbridge dweller extraordinaire has apparently graced this great place with a higher level intellect and snark to boot. Must be a full moon, someone’s lucky day or both. Boom.

I don't think Box will get too worked up over a Bay Area (Hayward) smartass attempting playground-level instigation.

Come on man - you know I'm generally too busy lurking college campus parking-lots putting MAGA bumper stickers on all of the Volvos, Subarus, Civic Hybrids, and compact crossover utility vehicles to get worked up about stuff...
...of course, I don't actually put them on the bumper, I put my bumper stickers on the, uhm, you know, you know, the thing.

Lol, have fun on campus - we’ll keep an eye out for more shit-slinging monkeys loose from the zoo.

I suspect in the current environment that it won’t be long.
