During President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961, the new Democrat president famously proclaimed: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country,” as he challenged all Americans to contribute in some way to the common good of the country. Imagine the consequences if a Democrat running for any office in today’s America were to make that same proclamation. What would we hear — from Democrats themselves?
Unhinged charges of racism, white supremacy, attacks on equality, and demands for “racial equity” — and worse — would abound. Hence today’s Democrat Party bears little resemblance to the

More excuses from a self-named "RINO" about why we cannot investigate a stolen election. Run that cover for the Demoncrats, you traitor!

You may not always like how Donald Trump says things, but he always tells the truth!!!
In a world where Lie-Berals don't even try to hide their pure evil anymore, and (a with a few notable exceptions) the Republican Party has become the Republi-Can't Party, I truly believe that Donald Trump is the only person out there today with the spine, cajones, and personal wealth, to stand up to both the Demon-Rats and Republi-Can'ts and save this republic!!!!!!! So he has my vote until the day he decides to no longer run!!!!!
So at least Mike Miller admits he is a RINO. That is probably his only honest point!!!

So, while the Pubbies and Jackasses play political games, real people living their lives to the best of their ability to in this poison political, social, and economic climate are mere pawns in their games. This is why our republic is dead. The politics and politicians are more important than the people they are supposed to serve. But we all know the idea of serving the people died long ago in the back hallways of the House and Senate and the revolving door of the White House.
We either accept what is happening, or do something about it. I suspect that acceptance will be the order of the day. But, our children will pay dearly, not in money, but in blood.

I have read the actual "Tweet" that this guy and others are attacking Trump over, claiming he is proposing suspending the Constitution...it reads to me that he is saying the DEMOCRATS suspended ALL laws, rules, standards, including the Constitution. Not that HE wants to do so.

I must say the Trump Tweet does not read well and it might not even be coherent.
The 2024 election is the redo of 2020. There is no other possible world view.
But with the dims’ mass insanity - eg, boys can have babies and girls can kill foetuses with complete abandon and 6 year olds need drag queen time- i really can’t read this tweet as a concise document outlining a political strategy or world view. I don’t think the rhetoric is necessary to convince anyone who has objectively looked at the available facts. But it is fodder for The Gullibles.
This writer offers nothing.

And Trump continues to force these Uniparty Republicrats out of their thinly veiled guises as "conservatives." Even though they and their ilk were successful in using the government-media complex to steal the 2020, not to mention the 2022 elections, and now want to walk away from the carnage they helped create while proudly proclaiming themselves "RINO'S." There's no own like a self-own.

You may be a Rino if you don’t believe in America First and have a tough time understanding the importance of borders, language and culture.

Thank you, #5. Reading and comprehending what you have read are a lost art to the younger generations. It is not been taught in school for the last 25 years or so.

President Trump’s reaction to the Twitter revelation is yet one more item that impedes his attempt to win in 2024. A wise man would have issued a statement saying that his contention that 2020 was rigged has been proven and that in 2024 he will do his best to right that injustice.
Instead Trump gave the media their issue for the weekend, if not longer. Instead of the Twitter evidence of collusion with the Democrat Party the news focused on Trump suggesting that the Constitution be set aside.
Add to this mistake the foolishness of dining with a crazy anti-Semite and the myth that Trump is playing a 3-D chess match is crumbling.

Trump's Tweet is being deliberately misrepresented by RINOs just as his invitation to Russia to look for Hillary's lost e-mails was pointed by Schiff among others as 'proof of collusion'. What it means to me (and I assume millions of reasonable people) is that IF you accept/tolerate what is going on then no rule, regulation or article of the Constitution is safe from the Democrats. Which is an accurate and a well justified statement.

Should "the Team Woke" demand all JFK statues and memorials be torn down?

It can be postulated that JFK died because he put America first. My Dad had insider information that Johnson was going to be dropped as Kennedy's running mate. The infamous military-industrial complex wanted a war in Vietnam to test out all their lovely new toys and get lucrative government contracts. Kennedy disposed Johnson for his crudity and support of segregation.
Kennedy died. Johnson, in big with MIC, started the Vietnam War in earnest. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to end segregation. He had a couple of his boys, Jesse Jackson and AL Sharpton, among others ready to pick up the reigns of the Black Cause and convert it to creating votes for Democrats.
ONE man stood in the way: Martin Luther King.
He died just like Kennedy did, from an assassin's bullet, leaving his picks to guide the movement into their pockets.

Even before reading this article, what struck me about Trump's message, taking him at his word, as #2 suggests he always tells the truth, is the following, "allows for termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." The word that stands out the most, and it must be assumed he meant what he wrote, is the word "articles." The seven articles of our Constitution constitute the entire structure of our Constitution. For example, Article 1 sets forth the mechanism for lawmaking in describing the Legislative Branch. Article 2, the Executive Branch and so forth. If one takes Trump at his word, by proposing "termination of articles, even those found in the Constitution, how can people say his words were "twisted or taken out of context?" The lack of alarm at his words by his ardent supporters is as troubling as his words. I loved Reagan like a majority here appear to love Trump; however, even though he ushered in a time when American was truly great, I was critical of his immigration policy and would have been appalled at any rhetoric that appeared to denigrate our Constitution, much less call for its termination.
The author was saying that he is a "Constitutional Conservative who votes Republican." RINO is but a label, defined only in the eye of the beholder. The label "Never Trumper," first used to describe those who refused to give Trump serious consideration for high public office, is often applied to people who voted for Trump twice, but have the temerity to question some of Trump's actions and words, so the label is mostly used in a quite ignorant manner, maliciously applied to those who fail to put allegiance to Trump first and foremost. The "RINO, Never Trumper" epithet many actually imply that the recipient of the slur is simply a Constitutional Conservative who votes Republican, once the core constituency of L.com. Like with Washington, Lincoln, and Regan, the Trump era will pass and it remains to be seen if the conservatives can once again coalesce to battle communism. Some of us took up arms to battle communism a half-century ago, so we have no illusions as to the difficulties inherent in turning back a dedicated Communist insurgency. I only hope and pray that our political differences are resolved soon enough that we don't lose our country, as many on this site stridently claim we already have.
