Even back with 9/11, you had Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson saying it was the result of abortion, homosexuality, and secularism. If we allow such fundamentalists to run our country that is on us.

Blame the MAGA-idiots - they want to destroy our democracy and institutions...by politicizing everything...
bass4funk
No, quite the opposite, they want to preserve it. The left are the ones that want to emphatically destroy the entire nation by their radical policies and undermine and bury their opposition by using legal and illegal political tactics with the help of the Justice Department. There is a reason why millions of people are fleeing these radical blue states in massive numbers.

Hmmm.....
"Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution over his lie that the 2020 election was stolen."

In his own words he's for "terminating", not "preserving"....
Checkmate...

Updated as of June 14. The state of the U.S. economy is strong despite inflation remaining elevated. The economy is expanding at a crisp pace, unemployment is low, and inflation is slowing from its peak.

Now that we know from so many whistleblowers that the election has more than enough discrepancies, people in both parties especially the RINO’s on the GOP side that were never for Trump weren’t as honest with the voters as we once thought, not again. They played their card and showed their hand.
The liberals can’t say anything, they destroy and dismantle our statues, deface our historical monuments, blocking religious freedoms, against American sovereignty, wanting to dismantle our history and culture, removing statues and defacing monuments. Pushing the gender and racial issue, weaponizing our judicial system. This is why the Democrats continue to lose astoundingly bad.
bass4funk
Now peel the onion back and let’s see why the Dems are in a panic.

You've lost in court 63 times trying to prove that - and the Arizona recount by a Trump-picked firm found no fraud and MORE votes for Biden...
Liberal didn't say it - your future inmate did...why do you and he support terminating the Constitution?

The USA is a deeply divided nation, and it is getting much worse, just looking at the political scene since 2016 proves that point. A non- elected man was elected as president, by the electoral college, and that shoud have been held to be illegal when it happened. But nothing was done. The whole country is now in a turmoil and its future looks very bleak.
bass4funk
Now Trump has made up in spades for that.

No future inmate, unless Biden is heading off to the glue factory
Wrong party, wrong administration, when conservatives start tearing down statues of our past and putting globalist interests above Americans or the sovereignty and safety of the nation at risk then you can make that claim.
bass4funk
Yes.
He was duly elected by half of the country.
Which has been our system since the creation of the Republic.
So screw the Constitution? Huh??
For the people that are globalists, socialists and Marxists, it sure does, it sure does.

"The US is currently more divided than at any other time since the Civil War. This division stems from Trump's failed election, conspiracy theories about voter fraud, and the storming of the Capitol Building. The narrative is perpetuated daily by Trump, who is now a convicted felon and sexual assault. It's worth noting that not long ago, a candidate with such a background would not have been allowed to run for office, which further divides the Republican party and their supporters."
falseflagsteve
As ever this type of article bring huge divide in people’s opinion. Finger pointing and name calling etc come into play.
Its great proof of how the elites divide and conquer policies are becoming more and more refined and the normal way of how many see the issues.
I wouldn’t be aligned to any political party or any group, they don’t care about you.
bass4funk
I agree. That is the reason why Populism is sprouting up all over the world, people are tired about the party system.
wallace
bass4funk
But you still have to vote for one if you want them to win. Only anarchists are the ones who believe in having no governments.
Jimizo
Disgraceful statements from disgraceful people.
The conspiracy theory crackpots didn’t help either after that awful event.

In felony convictions....ROFL...
"Wait. we have to take YOUR word for it? Who are you? ROFL! Funny."
Hmmmm.....
"Former President Donald Trump faced rebuke Sunday from officials in both parties after calling for the “termination” of parts of the Constitution..."
Once again, why are you and Trump for terminating parts of the Constitution?
bass4funk
Yes, but I’m voting for the man, not the party, we don’t have a parliamentary system.
Well, America has enough of those, been to Oregon recently?
bass4funk
In voter turnout
Not mine, but the Supreme Courts
4 years of it
Regurgitating, that statement isn’t changing anyone’s mind, the Dems want and think the second amendment should be changed, so the left can’t play that played card
No, why are Dems for terminating parts of the Constitution?
wallace
bass4funk
But you still have to vote for one if you want them to win.
You are voting for those who are part of the Republican Party. President and Congress. State elections. There is no possible separation. Every time you vote, you vote for the political system.
Only anarchists are the ones who believe in having no governments.
There are no anarchists in power.
bass4funk
No, it all started in 2009
And not resonating with anyone as much as they try and try
Not so long ago we only had two genders, the left changed that science outlook
Not really, with the exception of Hogan, they are more unified than ever, now Biden on the other hand, time is running out, they need to decide if they are going to run with him or not.
bass4funk
Yes, but I’m voting for the man, not the party, we don’t have a parliamentary system.
True, but the Republicans that are coming into office I like because most of them are not globalists, so compared to the old swamp Establishment rats, it’s very refreshing
Well, America has enough of those, been to Oregon recently?
Not yet, but definitely in some cabinet positions.
lincolnman
ROFL...he was 8 million short last time...
What?
Hmmm....so you're saying we shouldn't believe or pay attention to what Trump says....OK. Sound advice...
Calm down...and read Trump's direct quote once more slowly....then answer the question; why are you and he for terminating parts of the Constitution?
bass4funk
Hmm, wonder why....
I meant the liberal pundits
Looking at the polls, absolutely.
I did, so that is why I am saying why are the Dems are ok with eliminating parts of the Constitution, awfully quiet in libland.

Ain't hard - he LOST....
But Trump said it...
ROFL...
ROFL X2. For the third time, why are you and Trump for terminating parts of the Constitution?
bass4funk
The left tried to sell that one, they tried....
So did the Dems
why are the Dems are ok with eliminating parts of the Constitution?
lincolnman
ROFL..
"No, that would be the far-right fascist script or holiday list."
CHECKMATE! Three strikes and you're out....ROFL...
bass4funk
No, the left, this is why people are rejecting them and their toxic policies.
Tell Biden, he needs to hear it from none other...
lincolnman
Huh?
What?
Mr Goodman
The book isn't helping people either by the way

The 9/11 attacks united the country but by the Jan6 attack on the Capitol Building the country was deeply divided.

Which history is that? The legalizing of slavery or the banning of slavery? The banning of alcohol or the legalizing of alcohol? An average lifespan of 40 (1860) or an average lifespan of 79 (2020)?
We create history everyday. I hope the general idea is to move forward and not go backwards.
bass4funk
As well as 2000, 2009, 2016, 2020
Dismantling our statues and monuments.
Trying to rewrite the Constitution as if the country was illegal.
Yes
But you need to know and understand the past good or bad so that the next generation can learn from it, removing a monument, changing the name of a town or cereal box, or banning a book or TV program won't change that, everything should be left for people to see and learn from.

How does pushing the gender and racial issue negatively effect your life or the Constitution?
bass4funk
How does not pushing it make the country worse off?
TaiwanIsNotChina
Leaves citizens marginalized in all aspects of life. QED.
bass4funk
You think so?
