Examples of GOP Leadership

Then Donald came along and drove the GOP off a cliff they were teetering on for decades. All the good people soon left when Donald arrived, and white trash joined up in droves, Trump spoke for them (incoherently) and could do no wrong.

In a remarkable display of bipartisan unity and American tradition, on a cold day in January 2009, outgoing President George W. Bush extended an invitation to President-elect Barack Obama and all living former U.S. presidents for a special lunch at the White House. This gathering held significant meaning as it took place just two weeks before the peaceful transfer of power from one administration to another, a cornerstone of American democracy.

Despite being from different political parties – George W. Bush, a Republican, and Barack Obama, a Democrat – they set aside their differences and met privately for about 30 minutes before the wider gathering. During this private meeting, they likely discussed the various challenges and responsibilities that the incoming President Obama would soon be facing. The meeting demonstrated the essence of the American democratic system, where political rivals can come together and ensure a smooth transition of power.

Following their private meeting, the two former Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, and the elder Republican statesman, George H.W. Bush, who was the father of the outgoing president, joined the scene. They gathered in the iconic Oval Office, with journalists present to capture the historic moment. It was a symbolic and heartwarming gesture, as it marked the first time in 27 years that all living former U.S. presidents came together at the White House.

Standing side by side in the Oval Office, the leaders represented not only their respective political parties but, more importantly, the spirit of unity and shared dedication to the nation they had all served. George W. Bush expressed gratitude to President-elect Obama for joining the gathering and emphasized a message of support and goodwill. "I want to thank the president-elect for joining the ex-presidents for lunch," Bush said, with Obama nodding in agreement.

The younger Bush's words conveyed a powerful sentiment that transcended party lines. "One message that I have, and I think we all share, is that we want you to succeed. Whether we're Democrat or Republican, we care deeply about this country," Bush stated. It was a statement that resonated with the American people, reassuring them that the leaders, despite their political differences, ultimately had the best interests of the nation at heart.

This gathering of former and future presidents showcased the essence of democracy and the peaceful transfer of power that has been a hallmark of American governance. The event was a poignant reminder of the enduring strength and resilience of the United States, capable of navigating political changes while upholding its core values.

As President Obama prepared to take the reins of power, the lunch with his predecessors served as a symbolic torch-passing, signifying that he was stepping into a long line of leaders who have shouldered the immense responsibility of the presidency and aimed to make the nation better for all its citizens.

In the years to come, this historic gathering would be remembered as an exemplary display of unity, respect, and the unwavering commitment to the ideals that make America great. It would serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, encouraging future leaders to put aside partisanship and work together for the greater good of the nation they serve.

Another one not ready for prison, not many of them will be and I figure this could be just the first round in most fake elector states. All this going down before or during election season will cut the heart out of some state republican organizations. There were not just fake electors from these states, there were enablers and others involved in the conspiracies too and all could be open to both federal and state charges. I figure a lot of republicans will go down with Donald over the next couple of years when the rats start squealing and dealing. That is one of their weaknesses, when it comes to this kind of criminal shit, they are all a bunch of cutthroats who will sell anybody out for a deal and they are all terrified of going to prison, perhaps dying there.
