You won't see the ad up top or the ad below unless you watch the Trumpist Regime propaganda shows,Fox And Friends or Lou Dobbs Tonight, a show with virtually no viewers. The ads, by #NeverTrumpers, Republicans for the Rule of Law, will be broadcast every day next week, while the Trumpanzee Senate impeachment trial is playing out. And they're spend a million dollars on the project to urge Republican senators-- but particularly Lamar Alexander, the dazed and confused Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitt Romney and Corey Gardner-- to vote to allow witnesses during the trial, especially John Bolton.The ads will also be run digitally for two weeks in Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Maine, Tennessee and Utah-- and digital bill boards have been purchased in Little Rock, Phoenix, Denver, Augusta (Maine), Nashville and Salt Lake City. This companion ad is already running digitally.Republicans for the Rule of Law are running quotes calling for a fair trial from prominent conservative office holders on their own website:
• Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI)- "Again, it’s not just about a call, but even the call is a devastating indictment of the president. Trump: We do a lot for Ukraine. Zelenskyy: We are almost ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes. Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though."• Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK)- "If [the President] used undue-- well I don’t know if undue influence is the correct term, but yes, that’s very concerning."• Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD)- "I think we do need an inquiry because we have to get to the bottom of it. I’m not ready to say I support impeachment and the removal of the president, but I do think we should have an impeachment inquiry."• Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH)- "The president should not have raised the Biden issue on that call, period. It’s not appropriate for a president to engage a foreign government in an investigation of a political opponent."• Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX)- "There is a lot in the whistleblower complaint that is concerning. We need to fully investigate all of the allegations addressed in the letter, and the first step is to talk to the whistleblower."• Rep.Jim Steineke (R-WI)- "A sitting president asking foreign powers to investigate fellow US citizens and political rivals should not, and cannot be normalized."• Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT)- "I did read the transcript. It remains troubling in the extreme. It’s deeply troubling, clearly what we’ve seen from the transcript itself is deeply troubling."• Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)- "If you could show me that, you know, Trump was actually engaging in a quid pro quo, outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing."• Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH)- "Concerning that conversation, I want to say to the president, this is not OK. That conversation is not OK. And I think it’s disappointing to the American public when they read the transcript."• Gov. Phil Scott (R-VT)- "Congress has a solemn responsibility to every American to fulfill its role in our government system of checks and balances."• Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA)- "Look, it is not appropriate for any candidate for federal office, certainly, including a sitting president, to ask for assistance from a foreign country."• Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA)- "It’s a deeply disturbing situation and circumstance, and I think the proper role and responsibility for Congress at this point is to investigate it and get to the bottom of it."
Would Ronald Reagan Be A #NeverTrumper Today? His Son Says SoIn an interview with the Daily Beast Ron Reagan, Jr. said that his father would have seen Trump as a "traitorous president who is betraying his country. The Republican party at this point, for a whole host of reasons to do with Donald Trump, is an entirely illegitimate political party just made up of a bunch of sycophantic traitors mouthing Kremlin propaganda to defend this squalid little man who is occupying the White House... This is shameful stuff in all sorts of ways. This is a dying party. They either have to remake themselves entirely or they will disappear eventually. Within a decade the Republican Party will be a minor fringe group if it continues going this way... My father would-- although he might not use words like this because he was a fairly genteel person-- my father would pinch Trump’s empty head off and shit down his flabby neck... It is perhaps the most dangerous time for our republic in my lifetime, perhaps since the Civil War. If there is a second Trump administration, he’s going to feel liberated to do whatever he wants to do. He’ll try and go for the third, fourth, however long he lasts. He wants to be president for life. It would keep him out of jail, for one thing... Our nation is at a real turning point. Our republic is in danger. Democracy is in danger, and we need to put somebody else in the White House because this man is betraying the country every single day he occupies the Oval Office."
