MTG should be preparing for the derby, and I don't care what the Wheels the rapist has to say.

They both do enough fundraisers to no longer be fringe. Own your party's shit.

Valid question. They seem to speak to the movement in the same way the former President does, attacking both liberals and "RINO's" and advancing the Populist wing of the party/movement. Perhaps there is more than one "movement" going on? The Democratic Party is in total disarm, with folks like AOC and the "Squad". Are they mainstream? No. They are using some of the same strategies as the conservatives mentioned above - primary challenges against incumbents and pressure to push legislation in a progressive direction.

However, I rarely here that side blatantly misrepresenting history and "facts." Until we can all agree on some sort of basic history and reality, we will not be able to recover as a country. As always, your mileage may vary.

Owens is pretty mainstream on the right and has been for a while. The Trump faction that still controls the party at the moment is cool with MTG generally. Next question.

Being intelligent and belonging to The Republican Party does not coalesce. Being wise is not supporting The State in any fashion.

Most of America see these people as a respresentation of the New GOP.

This is what passes for knowledge of history in the Republican party these days-

Sen. Marsh Blackburn (R-Tenn) recently sent out this tweet:

"The Constitution grants us rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness - not abortions"

If you made it through elementary school then you're probably aware that the phrase is from the Declaration of Independence not the US Constitution. Even more pathetic is she's on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

While you are technically correct about the origin of that phrase, you left out the very next sentence from the Declaration:

--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

...which is kind of the whole point of the Constitution - to secure those rights.

Moreover, the left claims repeatedly that the right to have an abortion is found within the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, even though the Constitution does not explicitly spell out such a right.

So yeah, I'd say your view on this is a tad bit biased.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct. I was simply quoting verbatim what Blackburn's comment was. If you want to get pedantic and pissy about it, take it up with Blackburn.

Here's the twitter she posted: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marsha-b ... fd81376335

Now kindly fuck off...

I'm old enough to remember when you two were in complete agreement two days ago.

It was a ripple in the time/space continuum. No need to be alarmed. Feel free to go about your normal daily activities.

If I'm going to get pissy about anything, it is her use of the word "grant" as the Constitution doesn't grant us any rights; those rights are self-evident.

Our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are all indeed rights protected by the Constitution.
