    I mean if someone told me my candidate was a sexual predator that bragged about grabbing women and was held liable for assault — the same one that bragged about walking through the dressing rooms of miss America contestants. The same one that had been in numerous affairs and known infidelity that paid off prostitutes while acting like he is the next coming of Jesus.

    What’s your favorite part of his platform?
    The wall? He failed
    Healthcare? He failed
    The debt? He failed
    Education? He failed
    Decorum? Failed
    Tax reform? Personal freedoms? Less fraud? Less waste? Failed on all fronts

    Or is it just that you get to run around for four more years screaming **** your feelings to the rest of the country that you look forward to?

    1) pro gun justices who reject the creeping crud of centralization based on mutations of the commerce clause
    2) rejection of the balkanization of America based on pitting warring ethnic/gender (or gender confused) groups against each other
    3) giving the benefit of doubt to state and local law enforcement rather than to street thugs who rape, rob and steal
    4) American Primacy that doesn't try to castrate the military or for that matter American business with idiotic "green accords" that China, India etc ignore
    5) understanding that locker room bragging and crass tweets don't hurt people, massive incompetence does

    So Trump helped American companies over China? And you are saying that was wrong?

    The right is just turning into a Monty Python episode.

    They have months to write their rebuttal to the SOTU speech, and they cant even get a factual story right. Folks, this is the modern Republican Party, where the truth just doesn't matter. And WHO TF choose Katy Britt ? Did they not test her speech, and did they not test her with sample audiences to see the reactions ? I mean this is like a bad 3rd grade play at Washington Elementary School. Even the most staunch righties on this board will admit that was a DISASTER for the republicans.

    But to be clear, this IS the modern Republican Party. They cant do anything right, even if they are given the playbook before the game. The party of Trump is currently starting to not only support ANY policy he throws out, but they are starting to mimic his BS lies, thinking that the party will just swallow them, no matter if they are True or not! THAT is the overarching issue with this rebuttal speech. The Republican Party either thinks their constituents are dumb, or that they are just going to blindly believe whatever they throw at them (personally i think its #2)

    I long for my Grampas Republican Party……

    First, one little word that I thought of more out of humor than spite.
    Second, I know you and other Trump supporters do not like Biden, and if you're honest, nothing Biden could ever say or do would appease you.
    How does one sell their soul?
    Last, so any illegal alien who committed a crime in the US between Jan 20th 2017 and Jan 20th 2021 is "Trump's illegal alien"? And prior they are "Obama's illegal alien"? And before that "Bush's illegal alien"? and ...................
    It's terrible that anyone gets murdered or assaulted, or robbed. I was looking up some statistics a found this. Notice that the numbers were relatively low during Obama's administration, started to rise slightly when Trump took over, and shot up in 2021 under Biden. Why was Trump allowing illegal immigration during his tenure?
    I'm not saying that we shouldn't do anything about it, in fact, we should be getting on to Congress about passing some legislation to help out on the border. Have you ema

    Her hypocrisy was also on full display. She complained about Biden opening our southern border even though she helped write the bipartisan border bill that would have increased border security and then voted against it after Donald Trump told Republicans not to give Biden a win in an election year. So not only is she a creepy ultra-conservative, but she's also a spineless sycophant.

    This. And Britt even used the horrible story of the girl who was trafficked, while that person doesn't want her story politicized. Maybe Britt should have asked her for permission before using it for her own political gain. Next, that woman lives in Mexico, is not a US citizen, and whatever happened to her in Mexico has nothing to do with illegal immigration into the United States. Now, if Britt had used this case to highlight policy against sex trafficking, that would be one thing, but to use it to attack Biden, that's totally wrong.

    creepy sycophant is an apt description of senile joe-who brayed about being a moderate to get election and then became a hard core fluffer of the ultra left globalists who funded his campaigns

    you also misunderstand the border issue--the bipartisan bill was BETTER than the status quo but it could be MUCH better and Trump's argument is not to pass a mediocre bill now when he -when elected-will get a far better one in place.

    You stated that you would vote for a road-killed wombat rather than any Democrat.

    Such mindless, fanatical, hyper-partisanship, equating Republicans with road-killed wombats, is silly.

    'Sex Trafficking Survivor Says Sen. Britt's SOTU Story Was Bogus'
    Source: Daily Beast

    'A sex trafficking survivor slammed Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) after the lawmaker inaccurately used her story in a response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address as part of an attack on his border policies.

    Britt’s communications director confirmed that Britt was talking about Karla Jacinto Romero, a woman who has previously testified before Congress about being forced to work in brothels in Mexico 20 years ago. Speaking to CNN, Romero said no one from Britt’s camp or anywhere else contacted her asking for permission to use her story in the GOP’s SOTU response, and she also confirmed allegations from a viral TikTok video that Britt’s telling of that story was, at best, completely misleading.

    I would have found a different example than a story that took place in Mexico during the Bush admin.

    Other than misleading folks about where and when and under whose presidency the degeneracy occurred, the Stepford Hausfrau spun a sordid yarn, indeed. In her defense, she got the continent and the century correct.

    Agree 100%

    But the right has no platform other than "ELECT TRUMP", and "DA BORDER"......

    They were winning on the the border, then Biden called them out and they voted against securing the border. I know they think they won that, but the polls are shifting against them as the voters see their obstruction now. The dems are not that good at politics, but they NAILED this one by forcing the rights hand and having the right vote against securing the border. I really think that one will hurt them in november, along with the fact that they have no platform other than "vote for Trump". What they fail to realize there is that Biden was a weak candidate in 2020 and he still beat Trump because it was Trump.

    Heres the problem with Trump, you either like him or hate him, and hardly anyone is malleable on that issue. He is either a GOD, or the Anti-Christ based on on who you talk to. But most people see him for who he is, and 2020 showed he wont win another election. And the one thing they had going for them was the "Biden is an old man", and Bidens fiery SOTU speech sure changed that. BTW....Trump is now as old as Biden was in 2020, and they said Biden was too old then...cant wait to see the contortions they use to try to cover that one....

    Having your facts wrong, as she did, are a far cry from throwing around insults.
    Nice try but your attempt to make your statement falls way short.

    That "lady" smiled at you and lied through her teeth.

    The real question is why are you not angry about it?

    The only way to increase the security at the border is to build the wall. That is what Republicans and Americans want but that wasn't in the bill. It also included money for Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel. Sorry Charlie but the last time I looked those countries have nothing to do with America's security unless you believe the fear mongering coming from the looney warmongers.

    We get that from Biden every single day. There's plenty of anger directed towards a president who lies about who is really in charge of the White House. It sure isn't Ritalin Joe.

    all politicians lie. Her lies dont' impact me. When Biden wants to ban guns and lies about them and wants to jack up my taxes and lies that people like me don't pay enough taxes, that harms me
