(2,267 posts)Its not short for Grand Old Party. GOP = Greed Over People.
By the way, the Democratic Party had original claim to the nickname GOP until the Republicans appropriated it. I dont know the details of when that took place, but that bit of trivia came from the resident US historian, Zenger*, at Electoral-Vote.com, in one of his articles there a few weeks ago.
*Zenger, or Z, is his pen name on the site. Hes a PhD and teaches US history at USC.

(2,195 posts)I'd actually be able to dredge up at least some bit of respect for the guy, if he'd come out about this as it was happening.
But, now he's decided to come clean?
Nah...hard pass for me. I can't bring myself to even feel a little bad for him. Fuck that guy. He paid his money, and took his chances. trump's going to shit on him like he does all of his 'friends' eventually.

Buckle up. It's a rocky ride. What it isn't is same-old forever.

I say again- why is he not in jail now???
Zeitghost
(3,796 posts)It's because asking someone to perform a governmental procedure they are not constitutionally allowed to do is not a crime.
If I request that my Congressman declare me Emperor for life, I haven't committed a crime, I'm just a moron. Even if they follow through and put it to a vote that passes, it's still not a crime, it's simply a bad law for the courts to strike down.

(827 posts)Garland and the DOJ!
Hearing aids (the real good ones) and seeing eye dogs ain't cheap!
Either that or Biden needs to reaffirm the DOJ IS doing things required by LAW...and BEFORE the mid terms.
I know the "Wheels of Justice" turn slowly but I'm beginning to wonder if they need training wheels and that may mean we need a power attachment.

(6,252 posts)jump off the conspiracy bus now. Shameless, feckless, corrupt, racists, spineless, and most of all UnAmerican
is the only way to describe the Republican Party. We are living a dystopian nightmare where a once noble and grand democracy is descending rapidly into a kleptocracy brought about by 30 years of right wing propaganda, Christian Fundamentalism, aided and abetted by Russia. Hillary was prescient when she describes a right-wing conspiracy over 30 years ago. And here we are left with a SCOTUS that if not changed will rollback fundamental rights even more for the next 40 years or more. My hope with Hillary was in her SCOTUS picks that would leave our country in good hands for the rest of my life and most of my kids. Now where is the hope to come from, who will save our country. Who is the next Teddy or Franklin Roosevelt to take up the fight for soul of our country. I thought Obama was gonna be that guy and while I love him, I can now see he was far too moderate and decent to do what needs to be done. That is stomping out the Republican Party. Its gonna come down to either our view of the country or the Republicans view and so far they have proved far more effective at deflecting and diverting the attention of Americans who believe that CRT is really a thing and Democrats are baby killing predators. The spectacle of 1/6 and its acceptance as ordinary political activism proves that American politics is sick I just hope there is a cure to what is killing our Democracy.

Mo Brooks may be a rat, but he's not the kind of rat who stick his neck into a trap for someone else's cheese.
