You have me confused with someone who gives a [redacted] what you Nevers think.
No. Giuliani needed to answer the question. If there is a wrong, then the question is what is the appropriate remedy? However that assumes that Giuliani has facts to support his arguments which he does not.
That and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee at starbucks.
Meanwhile, PRESIDENT Biden will be issuing executive orders to “relieve” a trillion dollars or so of Student Loan debt for upper income people, likely put a Teachers Union President in as Secretary of Education, re-enter the Paris Accords, seek to re-enter the Iran Deal, nominate the next Supreme Court Justice, and restart DACA.
But at least the mean guy who sends out stupid tweets won’t embarrass Gary anymore.
I will disagree with most of Biden’s policies. But voting for Biden saved the Republic and Republican Party from an existential threat.
Nonsense. Are you OK with fraudulent votes? The appropriate remedies are 1) don’t count them, 2) prosecute those who cast them, and maybe those who knowingly let them pass. It is no more complicated than that. Only a lawyer could think it is.
If Giuliani can’t support the charge, he shouldn’t be there.
Doxing is posting private information that is not supposed to be publicly available to identify someone.
Public information is (by definition) available to the public.
And condemned the country if Miffed is prescient. Your priorities are hosed and you are to blame for what happens.
So if I post people’s divorce history, or criminal history, or bankruptcy history, that would be okay? I don’t think so.
So why are public records public?
In some cases those records will be sealed by a court (e.g. Jack Ryan’s Divorce, which Barack Obama had unsealed against the expressed desires of both parties to the case). Otherwise, yes, it’s ok to post them, because they are public records.
This will likely not be the last time I will respond to those who would blame me or other NT’s for Biden.
Who is to blame is everybody who voted for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 primaries. Who is to blame are the other candidates who did not get out of the 2016 race until too late. Who is to blame are the Republican elected officials who completely failed to stand up to Trump.
All that having been said, I think that we will get a lot farther if we stop searching for who to blame.
Pure, unadulterated nonsense.
You inadvertently hit the nail on the head: Trump won the (R) Primaries 2016 and 2020 because Trump successfully made the (R) eunuchs who have been leading the (R) Party into an ideological neutered version of Conservatism sit down and pay attention to the majority of the rank and file (R) voter.
As long as you attack people for supporting Trump, as long as you support people engaged in real doxxing I will oppose you.
The only way I will stop is if you admit you have been wrong in your actions. Otherwise, anytime I see you post about Trump, or make any comments that are counter to past statements insulting all Trump supporters, I will be there to counter you.
You set this stage Gary, and I will respond, because you need to be counted at every turn.
You repeat lies and conspiracy theories as will on this site. I will be here to correct you. I wi be here, with everything Biden does that is contrary to conservative principles tonpomt at that Gary Robbins voted for Biden.
Your bed. I will make sure you lay in it.
You advocated the Senate becoming Democrat. Fact. Fact. Fact.
You never get to back off of that. You wanted the Democrats to control the Senate. And that means no more Trump Judges.
You are for their agenda. You voted for it.
What a crock. You can live with Trump, but you are OK with peole who can with live with Trump? So you are willing to sell your morals out, as long as you personally don’t get your hands dirty? How morally bankrupt.
LOL.
You are a Proud Republican for Biden. And the you are upset someone proves you speak the truth.
Can’t help but notice, you can’t bring yourself to dennonce the Lincoln Project for it.
Rich, Gary. I guess it only applies when it is you, but not when it is a law firm supporting Trump.
You are therefore in support of the supression of speech you don’t agree with.
And you dare to say you love Reagan?
He would skake his head st you, Gary. Reagan would not support you or your ilk.
You voted for him, Gary.
You own Evey last thing he does
You support Biden and that meas I am holding you, Gary Robbins, responsible. This is on you and all your Democrat buddies.
I can only hope Biden policies personally cause you pain.
I see you have a problem with reality as well as all Never Trumpers. What would the election been like if the Chinese had not released the CCP virus? In other words, events. (And I expect Biden to be a disaster. ) And in spite of a pandemic and the economic consequences, Trump almost won. Your remarks show how delusional you are.
Why would you want to fight against the Biden-Harris agenda? You helped bring it about.
I don’t think he’s worth the effort, but if you do, more power to you. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it, I guess.
I only liked your comment because it’s the first time I’ve heard a simple I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I? rebuttal here on Ricochet.
Trump barely won the 2016 election and was only the third elected president to lose re-election in the last 100 years. If I understand your point of view, the Trump Republican Party doesn’t need the college educated voters in the suburbs. I believe that that was a fatal error. Mark my words, if Trump or one of his children is nominated in 2024, they will lose. If you find a Republican who appeals to all branches, then you have a winning formula.
One other point. How am I to take being called a eunuch? Perhaps your first step should be to stop calling other Republicans names?
This is going to become tiresome and I predict will cause comments to be closed.
I do not attack people for supporting Trump. My sainted mother voted for Trump.
I do not support doxxing, it appears that you do.
This may be a very, very long four years. I will not recite the Bryan confessional.
Knock yourself out. However, this sounds like a threat which is contrary to the CofC.
I haven’t repeated any conspiracy theories. Or are you suggesting that my repeating the media calling the election for Biden is itself a conspiracy theory that Biden won? If so, what will you say if Biden wins the Electoral College in 26 days on December 14th? And what will you say when Biden is inaugurated in 64 days, on January 20, 2021?
Knock yourself out. Please do not be surprised if I respond, point by point, answering your arguments and flagging you when you violate the CofC.
Apparently you failed to read the above post. Its third paragraph states:
“On the other hand, handing the Senate over to the Democrats would remove an important check on President Biden. Add to this that many Democrats want to do away with the filibuster. If I knew to a moral certainty that the filibuster would remain, I could go with a clean sweep of all Republican Senators except for Mitt Romney who is not up for election (and has 60% fallibility in Utah!) and Lamar Alexander who is retiring. Democrats Dianne Feinstein and Kyrsten Sinema both oppose doing away with the filibuster, but I fear that they could be stampeded by the other Democrats. Given that, I would support Republicans losing two Senate seats, just enough to maintain control, but a clear slap on the hands by Americans for their lack of character with impeachment by failing to even acknowledge that what Trump had done was wrong. So, the question is which Republicans I would like to win re-election and which ones would I like to lose to end up with a net loss of two seats.”
So, I did not advocate for the Senate control by the Democrats. Will you apologize for making a mistake?
Nope. I wanted Republicans to hold the Senate. I am also working on the re-election of Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. I have already given to them. Have you?
No again. I voted for the removal of Donald Trump to protect our Republic and the Republican Party.
Your second sentence is incoherent. Your third sentence doesn’t make sense. Flag as to fourth sentence: “morally bankrupt” is name calling.
Yes, I am a Proud Republican for Biden. By voting for my first Democrat for President since 1972, I helped protect the Republic and the Republican Party. I am not upset with anybody speaking the truth.
Apparently you missed my closing two paragraphs which I wrote after getting a great deal of negative feedback about The Lincoln Project “TLP.”
“Edit. After hearing from my fellow Ricochetti, I shifted my position:
“I hear all of you. There is a big difference between The Lincoln Project (TLP) and Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), in that the former oppose Republican Senators and Trump, and the latter oppose only Trump. I am shiftng my donations from TLP to RVAT.
“I am sure that there will be many of you so will not be impressed in that I am still against Trump. I would hope that some of you can chalk up the victory that I shifted from TLP to RVAT. That’s all I can do, at least for now.”
Your sentence is incoherent.
You are jumping to a conclusion which is not warranted.
I revere Ronald Reagan. The Greatest President of the 18th Century was George Washington. The Greatest President of the 19th Century was Abraham Lincoln. The Greatest President of the 20th Century was Ronald Wilson Reagan, and I have been to his Library more than all other Presidential Libraries combined. I hope that you will someday go there yourself.
Reagan famously once said that someone who votes with me 80% of the time is my 80% ally, not my 20% opponent. Reagan managed to cut taxes with a Democrat House of Representatives, by mobilizing Democrats to break with their party.
I voted for Biden to protect the Republic and the Republican Party from an existential threat. Look at how Trump is flailing about. You call that stability? You call that measured?
I own that a majority of Americans including me removed Trump from power. I also own that we held the Senate and increased our numbers in the House.
You are repeating yourself. This is the sixth comment you have made about me. Are you really trying to get the comments closed on this post? It was a good post with thoughtful comments until you decided to make it personal about me.
Flag. It is contrary to the CofC for one member of Ricochet to wish pain on another member.
Gary, I agree that the “search for the guilty” is a waste of time if the point of it is merely to condemn people. But it is healthy if the purpose is to understand how we got to where we are. That’s learning from history rather than repeating it.
Trump won the Republican nomination for several reasons: One was that the non-Trump candidates did not initially take Trump seriously. Another was, as you point out, the non-Trump vote was split between many similar candidates, and those candidates did not leave the race until it was too late. Yet another is that the other candidates refused to adopt the issues that were energizing the Trump voters. Principally, this was the issue of immigration. That issue was a longstanding sore spot with a significant part of the Republican base, but was ignored by candidates anxious not to annoy the Republican donor class (which likes cheap imported labor), and under the mistaken assumption that it was necessary to favor lax borders in order to pander to Hispanics, who were thought necessary to win the election.
Trump showed that he could win without the Republican donor class and without pandering to Hispanics. The issue of immigration still looms large if not larger than it did in 2016. Biden promises to swing the doors wide open and let in a flood of Democrat voters. Will Republicans learn a lesson here and embrace immigration as a central issue? Or will they go back to Chamber of Commerce Republicanism that is content to see the cheap labor flood in as long as the donor class continues to support “conservative” think tanks and candidates?
You are willing to outsource the taint of working with Trump to others. So it is OK for you to support Cotton.
And yes, I see that as morally bankrupt. How can you support someone willing to work with the devil?
But you reject Trump.
You don’t act on what you say.
