Want proof??? Here is what Senator Daniel J. Morrell, A REPUBLICAN from Pennsylvania said back in 1866: In his first speech in Congress Mr. Morrell uttered the following plea for labor: “The American workingman must live in a house, not a hut; he must wear decent clothes and eat wholesome and nourishing food. He is an integral part of the municipality, the State, and the Nation; subject to no fetters of class or caste; neither pauper, nor peasant, nor serf, but a free American citizen. He has the ballot, and if it were possible it would be dangerous to degrade him.”
" The country stands pledged to give him education, political power, and a higher form of life than foreign nations accord their laborers, and he must be sustained by higher rates of wages than those of Europe. Our industries operated by American citizens must be freed from foreign interference and organized into a distinct American system, which will exact some temporary sacrifices but result in general prosperity and true national independence. In maintaining diversified industries we utilize every talent, provide a field for every capacity, and bind together the whole people in mutual dependence and support, assuring the strength and security of our Republic."
WHAT IN THE NAME OF HELL HAPPENED TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY???? It’s downfall started with King Richard the Nix, then accelerated with St. Ronnie the Senile. And it’s been all downhill for the party ever since.

Remember when the Republican party had towering intellects among its members (for example, William F. Buckley)? Now days hardly any of the members can beat the IQ of Eric Cartman.

Republicans are lying perverts who groom their base to be hate full.
A ‘conspiratorial kook’ is Maryland’s top GOP candidate for governor
Sorry, New York Times: Republicans aren’t “concerned” about democracy — they want to destroy it
In an article headlined “Democrats Fear for Democracy. Why Aren’t They Running on It in 2022?” the Times reports approach the issue with a “gosh darn, isn’t it ironic?” thesis that somehow it’s Republican voters who are more “concerned” about democracy than Democratic ones. You know, because of that unpleasant business where Trump lied about voter fraud for months and then incited a failed insurrection.
Trump voters use the Big Lie in the same way Trump uses it: To put a moral gloss on what is a deeply immoral desire. We know this, because a new poll by Hart Research, commissioned by the New Republic, shows that the majority of Republicans support Trump inciting a violent insurrection to overthrow an election and install himself illegally in power. A full 57% of Republicans describe the January 6 attack as “an act of patriotism.” Those folks saw the same thing everyone else did: A group of people, refusing to accept a lost election, using violence to derail the certification of the legitimate winner. The majority of Republicans simply would rather end democracy than accept losing power.
A recent Atlantic piece by never-Trump Republican operative Sarah Longwell showcases how much pretzel logic is employed to maintain the delusional-not-fascist narrative. Longwell has been conducting focus groups of Trump supporters and their support for the Big Lie. As she writes, “the belief that the election was stolen is not a fully formed thought,” and really “more of an attitude, or a tribal pose.” When asked about why they believe the election was stolen, they tend to say things like, “it just didn’t seem right.”
Capitol riot: Judge relies on GOP lawmakers’ words about January 6 in dispute with defendant
A federal judge used the words of Republican lawmakers to describe the severity of January 6 during a hearing on Wednesday after a defendant’s outburst objecting to the government characterizing the riot as being carried out by “terrorists” who stormed the US Capitol.
Reading from a statement from Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on the first anniversary of the January 6, 2021, insurrection, federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said: “The United States Capitol, the seat of the first branch of our federal government, was stormed by criminals who brutalized police officers and used force to try to stop Congress from doing its job.”
“This disgraceful scene was antithetical to the rule of law,” McConnell’s statement, read by Sullivan, goes on to say.
Sullivan also noted that GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas had called the riot a “violent terrorist attack,” a notion that had been quickly criticized by right-wing figures, leading Cruz to walk back his comments on Fox as “sloppy phrasing.” Sullivan cited comments decrying the riot by Republican Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah and Marco Rubio of Florida as well.
As perceptions over the deadly riot remain polarized, federal judges overseeing hundreds of cases against alleged Capitol rioters have repeatedly criticized political leaders for publicly whitewashing January 6. Judges also have been quick to correct defendants who downplayed the seriousness of their own conduct or refused to take responsibility.
Jimmy Kimmel wants Donald Trump back on his show as a guest so he can tell the former president how awful he was in the White House.
“I’d just really want to tell him that, ‘I know you think you’re the best president with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln that we’ve ever had in this country, but I just want to let you know that you are the worst president we have ever had. How’s that hit you, tough guy?’” Kimmel said on an episode of Kara Swisher’s “Sway” podcast for The New York Times released Thursday.
Trump would be bothered by the audience laughing at him, Kimmel said.
Swisher suggested an even more scathing question: “I’m sorry your parents didn’t love you very much. How did that feel?”
“I was saving that question for Don Jr.,” Kimmel cracked in response.
Capitol rioter caught after FBI finds recording of him boasting to Uber driver
“Well it started around, right when I got there. I tore down the barricades,” Braun bragged.
The conversation, captured on video by the driver’s recording device installed on the dashboard, triggered a 15-month long investigation by the FBI. Earlier this month, on 12 April, Braun was finally arrested by federal authorities and charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct, obstruction during civil disorder, and entering and remaining on restricted grounds, according to an affidavit by Lucas Bauers, FBI special agent.
Braun boasted openly to the Uber driver about his involvement in the deadly riots, which resulted in the deaths of five people. When he explained he’d torn down the barricades, the driver asked, “You did? Why?”
“Well, because, so we could get to the Capitol,” Braun replied.
The driver asked, “Well, how’d that work out for ya?”
“Well, it looks like, uh, Biden’s gonna be our president,” said Braun.
The affidavit included screenshots of video footage that showed Braun “physically struggling with law-enforcement officers using a barricade”. At one point, Braun is also seen with a wooden plank in his hands. “The officer body camera videos show Braun in possession of the wood plank, controlling the wood plank and maneuvering the wood plank towards law enforcement officers in an aggressive manner,” the affidavit said.
“In one instance … Braun extends the wood plank and physically strikes an individual who is wearing a helmet with the text ‘PRESS’ displayed across the front (the photographer) and appears to be taking photographs with a camera,” it added.
“Braun and the photographer appear to exchange words. Braun then strikes the photographer with his left hand, and subsequently strikes the photographer once more with the wood plank.”
Accused Nebraska Groper Claims Hundreds Of Female Lady Women Can Prove He’s Not A Creep
Gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster (R-NE) insisted to the Omaha World-Herald that the groping allegations from eight women (which have been corroborated by three people speaking on the record) are all lies – but don’t just take his word for it!
A new book by New York Times reporters titled “This Will Not Pass,” excerpts of which were published today in the Times, details House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) expressions of outrage about Trump during private conversations with their associates days after the insurrection.
McCarthy’s outrage reportedly extended to claiming he would push Trump to resign immediately — a plan that McCarthy never followed through with.
The reported remarks present a split screen version of the GOP leaders: Both McCarthy and McConnell issued careful rebukes of Trump publicly in the wake of the insurrection, condemning his incitement of the mob that stormed the Capitol, but made more stern remarks in private.
McCarthy reportedly told his colleagues on the Jan. 8 call that Trump’s conduct on the day of the insurrection was “atrocious and totally wrong.”
McCarthy directly blamed Trump for “inciting people” to attack the Capitol, pointing to Trump’s remarks at the rally that day that, he said, were “not right by any shape or any form,” according to the Times.
“What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend that and nobody should defend it,” McCarthy told the group, according to the Times.
As part of his plan, McCarthy would tell Trump about Democrats’ impeachment resolution, while recommending Trump to resign.
“I think this will pass, and it would be my recommendation you should resign,” McCarthy reportedly told House GOP leaders.
