Uygur's worried about the chump breaking the law, and he's talking about doing so at the starting gate?

He’s not actually breaking any laws, just being stupid.

It's not that he's breaking the law, it's that he wants to go to court to argue why it doesn't apply to him, when of course it does.

if they are still republican, they are either not moderates, or don’t know and don’t care why anyone would fuss about such things as how governments work, and vote based on only one thing.

There are no moderate Republicans, there are only proud MAGAts and scared MAGAts.

I don't agree. I think there are moderate GOPers afraid of pissing off MAGAts and therefore staying silent. Not that this is praise, they're still enablers. But moderate Republicans missed the bus on countering the radicals taking over the party.

Moderate Republicans have ceded the field. They exist, but they're defeated.

Jim (L'il Gymny) Jordan and all those who supported the Insurrection need to not be allowed to have their names on ballots per the 17th amendment.
He said he "couldn't remember" if he spoke to the President on 1/6.
Turns out it was THREE  times. 

Yet another liar.

Typo? The 17th Amendment governs the election of senators. 14th addresses insurrectionistas.

I'm also skeptical about the supposed moderates. There's little if any practical difference between a person who does a shitty thing because they want to, and a person who does the same shitty thing because the other guy wants them to. I stopped drawing a line between racists and people who will trade racist shit for tax breaks a ways back myself. I'll negotiate, though, we could call them only moderately shitty? That's all we can be talking about anymore with that party. People who have plenty of shitty ideas, just not the full cornucopia of shitty ideas. Maybe they're holding something back to run for higher office later.

Whether or not a person is a moderate is determined by whether, when he has to decide, he sides with the insurrectionists or the democrats.    If he sides with the insurrectionists he is but an extremist who when not called on to actually act, like to also have the benefit of not being seen as an extremist.
