Dem’s unbridled pursuit of power can’t be brushed off

Monday, June 15, 2026

The Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles cannot credibly be denied or rebutted by inapt whataboutisms. During the 40 years from John Kennedy's inauguration in 1961, four Republicans served a total of 22 years as president and a like number of Democrats served for 18 years. Democrats dominated other elective offices, however, controlling the Senate for 28 years, the House for 34 years, and adjusting for time in office, governorships by 57% to 43%, and state legislatures by 73% to 27%. Then, the pendulum swung. For the last 25 years, Republicans (13 years) and Democrats (12 years) each elected two presidents, and Republicans gained control of the Senate for 13 years, the House for 17 years, governorships, 55% to 45%, and state legislatures, 59% to 41%

"he Democrats' disquieting quest for power at the cost of our democratic principles"

Now that raises a question that only Republicans are qualified to answer:
Are we a Democracy, or do we just have "democratic principles?"

at the cost of our democratic principles

Meanwhile, Trump forcing an unconstitutional level of control over elections by DoJ under the guise of bogus "fraud" prevention is the biggest threat to our democratic institutions in our Republic's history.

But to s*&^bag pedoringer, that's just mixed bag policy wise.

The US is a Democratic Republic, not a democracy. I suspect that's what implied by "democratic principles".

What makes you think its Democracy snoofy?

Lets play, is Snoofy able to pass the citizenship test I have too....

What congressional bill did you vote on directly?
Who do you vote for when voting for a President? Do you think your vote directly elects a President?

What about the American system is a democracy? literally none of it. Even voting in CA for propositions can be discarded by the States executive and judicial branches.

So what democracy are you talking about?

Trump is destroying this nation both domestically and internationally. Morally and ethically. Spiritually and substantially.

But democrats are doing something.

Is it transgenders or immigrants that are the boogeyman in this story?

At this point anyone engaging with BullBringer is doing it out of boredom.

What an absolutely miserable, insipid question!
Why do I think the United States is a democracy?
The elections, for starters.

What nation do you think FDR referred to as the "Arsenal of Democracy?"

So Snoofy is claiming that stabbing another person through the heart thus killing them isn't murder?

We all know the facts of this case. It was murder plain as day.

If he stopped chasing 12 year old girls around the neighborhood, he might have a clue what's going on.

Yeah! Like Racism, Bigotry, Jingoism, Misogyny, Homophobia, War Mongering, and Xenophobia!

Not to mention that New Republican Tradition, Pedophilia!

Or the GOP's love of Presidents who are lying convicted criminals; finger rapists and woman defamers, banking frauds and those who told their DOJ to illegally overturn a Pres Election!

Gotta love these great American Traditions!

Pedoringer is getting his a&& handed to him, as he should.

And all he's got is gay sex and d*&^ references.

Try some introspection, dips*&^. Maybe you'll figure out why everyone here laughs at you and tells you what a moron you are.

Just because you get an unconstitutional amendment on the ballot because you pay people from Arizona to collect signatures in California and you run it on an off-year election and totally mistepresesnt it and you happen to win doesn't mean it's not unconstitutional, dumbass.

Pedo missed Social Studies class.

A Democratic Republic is a FORM of Democracy.

So is a Pure Democracy.

So is a Republic.

So is a Representative Democracy.

Why are MAGA so dumb?

Trump loses war and gives Iran over $300 billion.

Agreed.

Pres Trump gave up so much, and what did he get in return?

A -not yet finalized- Memorandum of Understanding.

Why does this look not like a surrender on the part of Pres Trump?

Zero substance and nothing on topic. You get trucker insults because that is what your drivel warrants. On the rare occasion you offer something of substance you don't receive trucker insults. It's a simple concept.

Does anyone know what the end goal of Trump and his Billionaire buddies is?

Once they're done looting America, then what?

Live in the shell of a burnt down nation?

Move to Argentina?

Yes. The end goal is when your sentence ends:
Trump and his Trillionaire buddies.

Crazy like a Fox (News anchor). The question is why do maga maroons constantly attempt to undermine and deny our form of representative democracy? What do they hope to achieve with this agitprop? It is not in any attempt to unite us that is for sure.
