In their own words the Republicans declared war against the United States and now they are waging it.
I guess we should have taken "The South will rise again" both literally and seriously.

A major reason why Republicans in Portland are "an endangered species" is that the OR GOP as an institution has become one of the more radically far right, state-level parties in the country. And in a state party gone off the deep end, the Multnomah county GOP stands out for its extremism.
This was lazy reporting, and the Times would have done better for its audience exploring why so many Portlanders voted in DSA council. Article includes nothing from these voters. Describing Republicans in Portland as an “endangered species” is a choice.

So the recording show Tom Homan rejecting the money?
Wow, I bet they're going to rush to show that to all of us and we're all going to look *pretty* stupid for believing the FBI statement that he took the money as soon as they show that to us, which -- again -- I am certain will happen *very* soon.

Q: Did the president ask the DOJ to close the Homan investigation and does he have to return the $50,000
LEAVITT: Mr. Homan never took the $50,000, so you should get your facts straight ... you had FBI agents going undercover to try and entrap one of the president's top allies and supporters
