Must be a failure. Usually as people age and become successful they vote Republican.
Is DeSantis the future President-for-Life?

Unfortunately awful choices are going to be the norm going forward. Great choices want no part to dealing with the media that want to destroy them.
According to this the hearings may help get rid of Trump so we need to thank the Democrats for helping.
GOP strategist finds a 'stunning turnaround' as more Republican voters want an alternative to Trump
Sarah Longwell, a Never Trump conservative and Republican strategist who supported President Joe Biden in 2020, has been hoping that former President Donald Trump would lose his iron grip on the Republican Party. When Longwell made a CNN appearance on Sunday, July 24, she sounded optimistic —...

Common sense is like deodorant. The people who need it the most never use it. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

I'm surprised you would praise the hearings at all, considering what a one-sided shit show it is.
I admit i tend to lean to the left from time to time, but I always think for myself and assess every situation with my own thinking.
Hell, I voted for Trump the first go around (one of the few times I've voted Republican in my short time voting for president, I just turned 40). There's no way I could bring myself to vote for Hillary.
I'm not praising and never have praised them. I just think it's kinda funny that the hearings might make Trump less of influence in the R party and in turn might end up helping the Rs.
I don't think it's good for Republicans if they turn off over half the Republican Party, who are Trump supporters.I'm not praising and never have praised them. I just think it's kinda funny that the hearings might make Trump less of influence in the R party and in turn might end up helping the Rs.
What has the clown show shown so far? That Trump got upset because he couldn't go to the Capitol? That he didn't act to stop the rioting soon enough, even though he told his followers to go peacefully? That he didn't follow the advice of some of his staffers and now they testify "I told you so"?
And all that without any cross-examination?
That's a whole lot of nothing.
I think the only people that affects are those who were easily swayable anyway.

Tell me there is some context behind that which makes it less stupid.
Oh God no.
If we're throwing out people that don't have a chance in hell, give me Jo Jorgensen. At least she's got policies I can get behind. Pipe dream, but whatever.

The woke pronoun stuff aside I think the suit color would have to be for visually impaired people. But again I don’t know what value that adds for all the horrible virtual signaling negative attention.
It's okay for someone to support Trump (I don't but it's not a problem if you do). What I don't get is supporting him at all cost. I would hope that if he's not the nominee that you would support whoever is nominated. There's a lot of Trump supporters that won't so that gets down to being a cult in my opinion. I think because of all of Trump's baggage another candidate has a better chance of winning.
I have spoken in conferences where I have been asked to state my pronouns before giving a talk. Always struck me as a little weird, but not a big issue either.
Did you announce as f*ck and you as your pronouns?
I will vote for whoever the Republicans nominate. I may or may not vote for Trump - frankly, I have my doubts he'll run again. But piss off enough Trump supporters because of this show trial and they will stay home, which could easily hand the election to a Democrat.
But my choice won't be influenced by this clown show.
Every election President has some 'cult' that follows them. Bernie certainly has them. Liking a candidate because he happened to be a very good President doesn't mean he's the leader of a cult.
If the Pub nominee is someone like Romney, Liz Cheney, Kizinger, I WILL vote for Pelosi. Or even better, the younger Pelosi, Newsome.
Romney & Kinzinger are nothing like Liz Cheney, one of the most conservative Representatives ever. You are apparently choosing based on Trumpism, not conservatism. Liz Cheney would actually be far RIGHT of Trump. Very pro-life too, if you're into that.

Personally, that's where I would draw the line. They're welcome to their nonsense, but I wouldn't participate in it.
Well, if somebody invites you to give a talk they are usually paying some of your expenses, so they can usually set the rules.
One way to not dwell on it is to put it in writing on the title PowerPoint slide at the bottom and not actually verbalize it.
People draw lines differently. I'd draw mine there.
I'm bad enough of a grammar Nazi when it comes to the proper use of singular/plural pronouns, even though most people think I'm wrong in many ways nowadays. (We had the discussion here.) Giving this new fad any credibility is just too much for me.

So because someone is paying your expenses you’ll kowtow to their whims even if you disagree with them? I don’t mean that in a spiteful manner - that’s how I interpreted your post.
What if they told you “don’t say X or Y. don’t talk about Z either. It would upset our peoples.”
Slippery slopes are slippery.
I’d say “Hi. my name is John. call me John. i haven’t diagrammed a sentence since high school and I was bad at it then, so I don’t worry about pronouns. You can’t offend me by calling me a pronoun. I like you all. My advice is we all live and let live. On with the show.”
People who worry about pronouns are looking to be offended and to whine and need therapy.
I think cross examination would be fascinating. Republicans cross examining Republican's because republicans are basically the only ones who have testified. I am sure they will want to change their testimony that they gave under oath because the penalties for perjury are only a prison sentence and fine.
I would explain what the clown show has shown so far but based on your comments above you would lack the comprehension to understand.
I don't see it as a huge deal. LOL, "kowtow to their whims".
It's way less inconveniencing than the organizers telling me I have to shrink my already-prepared 40 minute talk into a 25 minute window, or other such accommodations.
As I said, it's a matter of changing my title slide from:
"Title of Talk"
-pretty picture-
"Today's Date"
"My Name and My Title"
to
"Title of Talk"
-pretty picture-
"Today's Date"
"My Name (pronouns he and him) and My Title"
I don't say even one extra word and don't change anything else.

Conservatives don’t like change, by definition. Clearly Liz Cheney started with integrity and just doesn’t want to change that.
But I want Pence in that primary, too.
Seeing Trump attack traditional, vanilla, milquetoast Pence is another opportunity for Republicans to see what Trump really is.
The Republicans will never accept instruction from Democrats as to what Trump really is.
Hopefully, seeing Trump go postal on both Desantis and Pence will make clear what Trump is truly like.
