If a recent poll is correct (polls are only estimates) that most Republicans want Trump to be the leader of the party… that is all I need to know about the Republican Party… and they will NOT receive any votes from this INDEPENDENT.

@postlive @jleeannis @GovLarryHogan What the hell? In the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA - a Governor feels he must have the state’s National Guard guard health care supplies b/c he fears the Federal Government will SEIZE them... after the President has told states they were “on their own” to procure such supplies?

@newt50 IMHO… the problem with this does not lie in NYC… it lies at the feet of/on the desk of the Texas Governor Abbott. Yes…he has a horrific challenge with immigration in Texas, but he has no right to, & morally an obligation not to burden other states with his challenges!!!

@mitchellvii There is a cultural chasm the size of the Grand Canyon between Trump MAGAs & Biden Democrats. Trump himself & his MAGAs are all about a lot of noise & chaos, flying enormous numbers of flags, signs all over, garish clothing, etc. & verbal “trash-talking”. Democrats are not that.

@JoJoFromJerz I recall Presidents back to Eisenhower. Without question Trump’s Presidency is one that has no “dignity”, ZERO dignity, not the slightest bit of dignity! A decades long Independent I don’t agree with Biden on everything…but at least he has restored DIGNITY to the Presidency!

@RonFilipkowski Trump MAGAs are always talking about “God”… yet they are the most UNGODLY group of folks I believe I’ve ever seen.

@SundaeDivine If I were being questioned by Johnson in that manner…I’d have no tolerance for it. I’d make it clear… ask me realistic, reasonable, sensible questions questions and I will answer… otherwise you will get no answer from me.

@ForeignPolicy @GioeINT @GenMhayden All the far right rhetoric about “defunding” and/or “shutting down” the FBI, CIA, NIH, CDC, etc. is plain nuts! Those are key, crucial agencies to national security & the health/well-being of all Americans!

@MacFarlaneNews Mr. Ponder’s “excuse” carries no weight for me. He, and his “riot mates” are adults… well past a point in time at which they should have mastered a level of self-control that prevents such “caught up in” moments.

@matthewjdowd Yep! As an INDEPENDENT I thought I’d never say that one party needs a complete, at least 99% purge…but at this point in time that is indeed what must happen to the GOP! It is beyond redemption. Vote out all current GOP folks & refuse to vote for new GOP who are like the old GOP.

@davenewworld_2 All that was over a damn face mask??? A dispute about wearing a face mask precipitated all of THAT??? If that does not provide prima facie evidence of just how STUPID the politicizing of COVID, masks, etc. has become... what the hell does? Trumpism has led to absolute INSANITY!

@ABCPolitics I’m sick of Congress, most who have not truly studied the Constitution, expressing such a firm opinion on what is “constitutional” & what is not. The question of constitutionality should have been SETTLED before the trial began by discussion/debate with CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARS!

@realTuckFrumper I am in an environment loaded with Democrats… I know of NO Democrat, have heard NO Democrat even hint that b/c of the indictment that they will now vote for Trump. Ain’t gonna happen!!!

@MiaFarrow One question that must be addressed by all... but especially the GOP: How did a low-life con man win your primaries & become your nominee? How did he become President? How did you come to support a low-life con man in a 100% sycophantic fashion as you have? YOU supported him!

@amandacarpenter “…coordinating with potentially hundreds of state legislators to block Biden’s certification…”. Is that not the very definition of a conspiracy?

@latimes @morgfair No President should be able to repeatedly “bypass” Congress. Executive Orders are necessary... but what Trump is doing is ridiculous and there should be a limit.

@PolitiFact @morgfair If Rep. Andrew Clyde can watch that TV footage and truly think it was a “normal tourist visit”, and his eyesight is at least minimally good… he has absolutely no business being a member of Congress.

@SykesCharlie @ebizarch “We wait & take orders from our president.” ???? In our system of government no one is obligated to “obey” & “execute” an ILLEGAL order. The legality of an order to “storm” the Capitol is clear... IT IS ILLEGAL! Trump folks believe Trump’s words are “law”... they are NOT!

@grace_panetta @Susan_Hennessey Let’s not “complicate” this! Trump does not get to “declare victory” on incomplete results! HE may think he can and he may actually do that... but his word is not the final word. On the morning of Nov 4th he may very well claim victory but TRUMP can’t make it so by saying so!

@matthewjdowd The news media are so obsessed with “scooping” each other & sensationalizing whatever may increase their ratings that they seemingly have no concern for “perspective & proportionality”. IMHO the news media are abdicating a sacred responsibility to the public.

@AccountableGOP Any candidate for any office at any level should immediately be stricken from the ballot for making such a statement. It is a clear statement that literally “screams”… “I do not support Democracy and will do everything I can to prevent fair, democratic elections.”

@ConscienceIsIt Folks… be you Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, whatever… our government is sick, sick, SICK! When you remove folks like Schiff, put folks like Santos from/on committees it defies any reasonable consideration of anything other than political partisanship.

@joncoopertweets @tracyb12371 THIS- is what we need, what it will take to bring COVID under control and ultimately defeat it. We cannot count on “government” to do it all for us. It will take clear, objective, rational thinking by business owners, CEOs of companies, etc. - and likewise by a citizen majority.

@benjaminwittes @GenMhayden I long for a time in which I do not go to bed at night with my brain “fried” from the news of what the President did/said/tweeted that day, only to wake the next morning to a barrage of overnight angry and nonsensical tweets from the President.

@NBPT_John @GrayorGray Alabama’s AG seems to want to imprison the state’s citizens within the boundaries of the state. This is about as true “NUTS” as it can get. I’ve always been a non-partisan Independent & never thought I’d support one party 100% over the other, but I do now…VOTE BLUE 100%!
