Cyrus Javadi from Oregon just switched parties making a statement that "I'm not leaving my principles, just aligning with people who still share them, still show up to govern, and are more interested in bipartisan solutions than obstruction. My loyalty is first and foremost to the people of my district and I won't waver from my values in order to fit into a partisan mold."
In other words, he's not leaving the party, he says the party is leaving him.
If more Republicans, who are against Trump's tactics but worried they will lose their jobs, move to Independent or Democrat they may have a chance to keep their jobs. If they stick with Trump they have a large chance of losing their job.
It is still unbelievable, with all that had been known about Trump, he was re-elected. I am sure there are many reasons. But the current state of affairs is indisputable. The cost of living is up. The economy is down. Human rights are being trampled, along with the Constitution and laws. This government is aligning with our historic enemies and insulting our allies. Who is benefiting? Not "we the people". A handful of insanely wealthy people. An egotistical malignant narcissist. Those who go along out of fear or false belief he cares about them. I remember the assassination of John and Robert Kennedy. Martin Luther King. I served in the Aemy during the Vietnam War. Iraq and Afghanistan. I have lived long enough to see the good, the bad and the ugly. I know there are a lot of smart, caring patriots in this country. Productive and concerned members of communities; immigrants, native Americans, survivors of our historic wrongs from our beginnining of a country. We know better. We have done better. We can do better. For "we the people". Not only for our country. But for all countries. For all people.
Agreed 👍 I hope more of them dig deep and find their conscience. What has happened to those girls in the close knit Epstein circle is horrendous. It is a shadow on the nation to not help them have transparency and justice. To keep pretending this is all a " hoax" is triggering for a huge group of girls , many too afraid to come forward at all. The only reason Trump is trying to bully people into silence if he has a lot to hide.
We still wonder what the Moron is trying to hide. $25,000 for a teenaged girl???? And he says he didn't know?? It's my opinion that he's is all over the files and Maxwell has hinted as such in the emails from Bloomberg's reportage. The can of worms, which has infected the American Oblast, still needs to be opened and aired.
Any man who forces his sexual attention on any woman is, by precise definition, trash. If these acts involve children then he moves into a realm that words can not explain. The same applies to those who cover for him.
The fact that CRAZYGREENE broke rank with Dear Leader says A LOT. She was THE most vocal drone of all!
Did stop stop being "crazy?" A quick search through her Facebook page says "HELL NO," but it's refreshing for a PROGRESSive like I am to see a woman choosing other women over her rapist pedophile godking. (I mean, at this point the odds of it NOT being a "pedophile" are miniscule.)
Do not believe it for a minute that Repubs have a conscience. They are hoping the "truth" will damage Clinton and other Dems. If and when the heat leads to Trump they will go silent. They would not be pulling this stunt if they knew it would damage Dear Leader. So Crocodile tears.
Not sure truth or integrity is of much value in our political sphere.
Remember the time Bill Clinton was charged with lying to congress? Every one of his accusers, especially Nut Gingrich were liars just looking for anything to hang him. I think Nut was just jealous. Gingrich is still behind the scenes applauding Trump on.
Well it’s nice to know that there is a shred of decency and an ounce of compassion in those two firebrands (Mace and Greene). It’s a pleasure not to hear looney stuff or vitriol come out of their mouths.

Release the files. Enough of this nonsense.😠
Don’t do that… Don’t glorify Marjorie Taylor Greene…
Donnie may be lucky and peg it in office.
I'm confident there'll be tears, like when FDR died, but tears of joy.
I am confident the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of "THANK GOD IT'S DEAD" parties will shut Our nation down for days. 😂
Hell! My guess is a good chunk of trumplican politicians will be the ones buying rounds to deny ever having supported that vile, inhuman creature.
Hope is always in the back of our hearts.
Thank you for the excellent essay, David. So basically, we are still in the spin cycle.
maga fighting within maga, go figure! It's all based on deception and lies, as more is exposed, maga will crumble!
