So....Mitt Romney

[vraiblonde]

The Repukes are trying to rehab his image, polish his turds, all like, "Mitt Romney is the ONLY one who can beat Biden!!"



Anyway, here's the latest from that putrid maggot:

Mitt Romney Freaks the Freak out, Accuses Tulsi Gabbard of Treason

redstate.com

What Tulsi actually said to provoke this outburst:



Now, I'm not on the Tulsi bandwagon. Despite her becoming the darling of the Right, she is in fact a hard left liberal and when she's being honest (not pandering to Tucker Carlson's audience) I disagree with her on pretty much everything. But she has a pretty good point here, and it certainly wasn't outrageous enough for Mittens to jump out of the closet and start ranting.

I'll tell you right now: I won't vote for Mitt Romney. If he gets the nod in 2024 I simply won't vote. With John McCain's nomination it became clear to me that I was a RINO, so I dumped the GOP and went unaffiliated. If the overlords decide that Mitt Romney is the best they've got, I'll dump elections altogether and just let them have at it.

Hard to get a straight full story on those "biolabs". Best I've been able to piece together out of all the noise, hue and cry is that they were originally Soviet facilities of some kind and we and others are somehow involved with their continuance or something. Not at all clear what any/all of them do. Having that many labs all doing "the same thing" is obviously a joke of a concept.

But remember Ukraine is this big country, right next to Russia .

You think Rs would be wary of "Elect this one, he's the only one". The Ds fell for that crap and see where it got us.....

Especially when it's some Hillary talking point parroting ahole.

Mitt and Hillary sittin' in a tree.....they can bond over box wine and ravings about Tulsi Gabbard being a Russian spy.

Tulsi Gabbard Fires Back At Mitt Romney For Calling Her A ‘Treasonous’ Russian Propagandist​

Gabbard laid out her case for why what she said was true in a lengthy thread on Twitter, saying that Romney needed to provide evidence for calling her “treasonous.”

“Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said is untrue and treasonous,” Gabbard wrote. “If you cannot, you should do the honorable thing: apologize and resign from the Senate.”

“So, Senator Romney, you have a choice: out of pride, continue to deny the truth or admit you are wrong, apologize, and resign. Aloha,” she later added. “And remember that without the truth, we can be neither safe nor free.”

There are biological laboratories in Ukraine, which the World Health Organization has contacted and advised to destroy dangerous pathogens that could escape during war.

The USA is fully aware of those labs and the USA funds those labs

I believe Jeff has it right and it is very hard to get a straight -full story because the U.S. doesn't' want the straight full story to be found out.

As for Tulsi Gabbard---she is a Democrat. She may not be as stupid as the rest of them, but she is still a Democrat, and thinks too much like them, but as for her being a traitor, I guess I am one too, because at this time in my life i do not trust my Government . We sent money to China for their lab, and we may be sending money to Ukraine too.

Anyone who is watching, this moron in the White House shutting down our energy and using our money to buy energy from our enemies simply cannot be trusted.

There are 2 Republicans I will not vote for. Mitt Romney and Larry Hogan.
If either of these 2 are the Republican candidates I will leave the Republican party

Leftists dream of interning anyone who challenges their Ukraine narrative​

Romney’s attack was troubling for three specific reasons: First, he was trying to criminalize Gabbard’s First Amendment right of free expression as to issues that are matters of public record.

Second, he accused Gabbard of a crime based on a statute that carries the death penalty if a person is found guilty.

Third, regarding the crime of treason, it occurs only if someone who owes allegiance to the United States levies war against it “or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort....” 18 U.S. Code § 2381. In this case, while we may disapprove of Russia, it is not America’s “enemy” under any definition of the word. A geopolitical rival? Yes. An enemy, no, especially because Biden has explicitly disavowed any intention of going to war with Russia.

When the likes of The View and MSNBC begin frothing at the mouth, it's a good sign that whomever they're trashing is probably right.

Their BEST argument should be "yeah, it's true, but you're not helping by talking about it". It is STILL a stupid argument, because the United States has repeatedly, publicly acknowledged this fact. It's akin to telling people we have military bases in Germany. Yeah, so what?

But I agree with you on Tulsi. She parses her responses VERY CAREFULLY, so as to remain in the spotlight with the right while not actually throwing her support behind them.

Scratch a liberal and fascism oozes out.....

What's interesting is watching the cultist Nazi sympathizers all like, "Yeah! Get 'em!" If you had asked me even 5 years ago if Americans would tolerate this sort of thing, I'd have said no, it would be roundly criticized and the outliers shouted down. And here we are.....

anything the progressives disagree is just plain MISINFORMATION or Treasonous


they can now just dispense with racist, homophobic misogynistic

I'm wondering if that's not the goal - to water down these terms so they no longer have meaning. CIP:

Everything was rape - catcall some chick and it's rape; she jumps into bed with you and later regrets it, rape. To the point that we're all like "Yeah, yeah, rape rape rape rape " Then it turns out some of the most prominent Democrats WERE raping women, either violently or drugging them and raping them. To the point that Whoopi Goldberg felt comfortable saying on national TV that the drugging and sodomizing of a 13 year old wasn't "rape rape". Well Whoopi, if that isn't "rape rape" then what is??

Everything was racist, white supremacy, blah blah blah - then it turns out that all these hate crimes are hoaxes being perped by black people.

Now they're telling flat out blatant lies, while screaming ad nauseum about misinformation. Selling out our country, putting us in danger, while screaming about treason.

The President of the United States and his Chucky-doll mouthpiece stand up there and tell black tongue bold face lies. They jeopardize our national security, sending drug dealers pouring over the border to sell their wares, and call anyone who opposes them "traitors".

It's like living in an Orwell novel, it really is. I had an idea the US would come to this, because most prosperous nations eventually do, but I never really thought I'd see it happening.

On a side note - my observation has been nearly all of the Asian hate is perped by blacks. Noticed this as far back as the Rodney King riots when it was mentioned there'd always been this animosity between blacks and Koreans (specifically) when Asians were attacked even though they had nothing whatsoever to do with beating Rodney King. I(n fact, I don't think whites use the expression "ching-chong". When I read THAT in a column I know what's happening).

UNLESS -

You're watching a TV show. THEN it is always white people. And they're always described as right-wing. And love guns. And every caricature the left likes to portray the right (ignorant, mean, hateful, religious and so on).

I don't care if it's one of my favorite shows, if I see one more "Asian hate" show and the perp is white, I'm giving up.
