Romney is a RINO now.
How many v**es did he receive in 2012?
WOW! Romney got a higher percentage in his run than Trump did in 2020.

Nice try, except that the SCOTUS gave them the right to impact the v**e by using a rather large scale via the
Citizens United ruling.
Just look at the big deal it is that so many PACs are backing off donations to both individuals and the parties. Just check out the articles about the robocalls paid for by the Republican Attorneys General group, they are losing hundred of thousands of dollars many times over. Damn big thumbs sitting on those scales, no?

I didn't say they don't have their thumbs on the scale. I said it's illegal. A lot of illegal is happening today.

In what way have they interfered with the conduct of governance???

Thanks, jelun. I had to go out to get my car tags. In person, as they expired in June (online can't renew after 90days) and I only just now have needed to let someone use it for work this next week while theirs is being repaired. With the r****rs in June setting fire to the Nashville Courthouse, a little bombing on Christmas Day, with the intervening fluctuations in p******c spread, but Tennessee just h*****g in there as a world class hot spot,. . . . And now State Capitals are on heightened alerts...
I haven't been out much, anyway.
Hoped the New Year would bring us all some much needed stability and peace...

No it isn't. Its about much more. I know many liberals who are uneasy with it and even the ACLU is. Protest all you want but you clearly can't see what's going on.

Trump supporters, by a longshot, don't h**e all things China. They h**e the Chinese C*******t Party. You might as well say all Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol last Wednesday. All 75 million of them.

I'd say about 70% of the American expats in China are right wingers... Most of the ones who burn out after a year or two are lefties..
Meet an American who's been here for five years and he's almost certainly a conservative

I take a middle of the road approach. It is an armed i**********n. Lets loosen our belts and cut some common sense regulations in the interest of reducing red tape and restricting open communication between enemy combatants. Sucks that us decent l*****ts and our decent conservative regular folks will be inconvenienced by the new and temporarily necessary austerity.
Let's also recognize the slippery slope towards undue censorship, and put up road signs cautioning return to safe footings as soon as civic peace is assured.
People can't go on living like this. Nashville Courthouse set on fire in June by r****rs, Christmas day bombing and total lack of phone and internet for 12 hours with no other news than its a bomb downtown, stay in your homes.
Now this armed i**********n/assassination attempt at the Capital. . .
AND State capitals on heightened alert....
I neeeeeeeed a breather. . .
Can yall please ALL be quiet a minute......
