In the United States, not every guiding principle is a law. Several traditions, customs, or best practices were created at one point and are still followed today. Democratic norms facilitate a smoothly-run government. What happens when standards/norms like respect on the Senate floor or accepting election results are violated? It seems that every day our Democratic norms are deteriorating more and more. As a result of their purported concerns about democratic norms, many are questioning Democrats’ credibility. For example, they support far-right Republicans in primaries hoping that GOP voters will nominate unelectable candidates.
Toomey has been attacked in vitriolic terms by Democrats over the last few weeks. In their attacks on Toomey, liberals have used profanity to portray him as a morally corrupt sociopath. In the 2021 impeachment trial for Donald Trump, Toomey voted in favor of conviction. Bad-faith attacks against Toomey indicate that many Democrats don’t care about democratic norms; they only care about winning and implementing their agenda.
The first time Toomey came into the national spotlight was as a disrupter like Trump, leading the conservative anti-establishment group Club for Growth. Toomey challenged liberal incumbent Senator Arlen Specter twice as a candidate in the primaries. As a result of Toomey’s second primary challenge, Specter switched parties, resulting in Toomey’s victory. In his role as a senator, Toomey has been pretty conservative but not disruptive. Working with West Virginia, Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin even pursued a bipartisan approach to guns.
Despite Toomey’s gradual move to the center, many people found his vote to convict Trump surprising since he had not often bucked Trump or the party leadership. It is impressive how someone can go from being a rebel to voting to convict a president who is loved by the Republican base.
The Democratic attacks against Toomey have centered around his views on the PACT Act, a bill for further assistance to veterans. When PACT was a standalone bill, Republicans largely supported it, but when Democrats loaded it up with other spending unrelated to veterans, they opposed it. Rather than making veterans spending mandatory, Toomey proposed an amendment to make it discretionary.
According to Democrats, Toomey’s amendment might make adding additional tangential healthcare items more difficult. Democrats claimed Republicans opposed funding for veterans’ care to score political points and wanted to use veterans’ care legislation to pass other things that couldn’t pass on their own.
Passions run high in politics, especially regarding veterans’ issues, whatever the reasons for Democrats’ opposition to Toomey’s amendment. Nevertheless, the left’s criticism of Toomey goes beyond policy to question his ethics and integrity.
John Fetterman, the Democrat running to replace Toomey, called Toomey’s actions disgusting and urged him to get out of D.C. Jon Stewart, a comedian and liberal activist, called Toomey a “monster” and said the senator was screwing around. Toomey was referred to as a coward by media host Jimmy Kimmel. A video of Stewart’s profanity-laced rant against Toomey and other Republicans was retweeted by Guy Cecil, chair of one of the most prominent Democratic super PACs. Malcolm Kenyatta, a former Pennsylvania Democrat senator, has said that Toomey cannot feel shame and has always been a fake.
Many arguments can be made for why Toomey was wrong on impeachment and the PACT Act. Despite their policy differences, liberals use demonization and profanity to attack Toomey. Trump and his supporters have been subjected to the same radical, divisive attacks from liberals. The raid on Trump’s Florida estates shows that democratic norms in the U.S. are degrading under the Democrat’s watch. Never in U.S. history was a form president’s home raid. Liberals have excused these attacks against Trump by saying that Trump is a unique threat. These attacks against Toomey and other Republicans indicate that they will use bad-faith tactics against anyone who disagrees with them. Now that’s truly a threat to America’s democratic norms.
Too many haters in thocratic party & the blame is on Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer &Mitch McDonald. these people alone are running the government along with Barack Obama.
I do not blame the democrats for their disgusting ways. I blame the republicans for not defending their agenda with equal ferocity. This taking the high ground is no longer the correct path to follow in today’s world of aggressive political attacks. We need new blood at the leadership of the republic party.
They are ether for Trump or agaist America Down with the one world order personel and thier demonicorder
Everything they touch turns to SHIFF! FJB!
Please check Toomey’s voting record. He has actually voted mostly against anything to help veterans.
As for the impeachment. Toomey voted for a movement he knew woul lose. Therefore trying to make himself to be a good guy.
He failed on all the things that got him elected in the first place.
He has since made his millions and is quitting before his swamp is drained.
I agree! When Joe Sestak ran against him, he provided a long list of veteran bills which Toomey had voted Against. Toomey votes for the moneyed people. Period.
Absolutely, Senile Feeble Minded Imbecile Idiotic Lame Duck Pathetic Poor Excuse For A Human Being Dementia Beijing Biden and His Democratic Regime have done Nothing but, Set Out to Destroy The United States and The American People.” The American People That They SWORE AN OATH TO UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC” turns out to be themselves as the Domestic Terrorist!! The Criminals, Murders, Drugs, Rapists, Skyrocketing Food, Gas and Housing Cost have Risen Sooo High those Low Class, Elderly, Children are Suffering Greatly by their Action’s!!! They have Attempted to Destroy Our Constitutional Rights, Unleashed Millions of Illegal Immigrants and, Thanks To Glazed Doughnut Biden and his Recent Order to UNLEASH MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS more Illegal Immigrants on us!!!
The Democratic Regime is Attempting to CONTROL BOTH the Mid-term 2022 Elections AND, 2024 Election!!! They have tried to Give AMNESTY to The Illegals, New York had ALREADY Changed The Constitution and are Allowing NON-Citizens To Vote, The Democrats are Attempting to Give Statehood to DC Thereby Adding 2 More Democratic Electoral Seats To Ensure Their Permanent Occupation in The Government!!
The United States I now reside in IS NOT The Same United States I SWORE AN OATH to Protect when I Myself Entered The United States Army!! I am now 60 years old and Life as I once knew it is GONE!! I Now Live in Fear For My Life, and Facing Loosing EVERYTHING After Working My Entire Life to Build it!! My Social Security Benefits No One Stretch Far Enough to Keep Me Fed and A Roof Over My Head!!
It is PATHETIC that there is NOTHING in the Laws or Constitution That Would Allow The Republican Party, the Current Minority Party, to STOP Beijing Biden and His Democratic Regime From Continuing This DESTRUCTION!!
I Know The Declaration Of Independence Allows For: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -That whenever
any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
NONE OF THIS HOLD TRUE TODAY!! The Current Democratic Party Holds ALL The Cards!! It is clearly stated that When That Government BECOMES DESTRUCTIVE, It is The Right of People to Abolish or Alter it!! However, it proves attempts To Overthrow The Government By The People Can and Will hold Them Accountable and Punish Them!!!
As Proven by the Jan 6 2021 Riot, Those Individual’s have a been Arrested and Tried To The Fullest Extent Possible!! Those Individuals have Received Sentences Longer than The Average Crime ie 9 Years to one individual for Trespassing Charges. Those Individuals that have been Arredted and Jailed are being Beaten, Abused and Starved.
Then,
on the Other Hand, You have Last Summers George Floyd Riots.. Those Rioters Killed People, Looted and Burned Businesses, City Government Buildings and Police Departments we’re Burned.. They TOTALLY Destroyed Several States Cities ie St. Louis, Portland, Chicago just to name a few. Millions Upon Millions of Dollars of DESTRUCTION WAS COMMITTED AND NOT ONE PERSON WAS ARRESTED or CHARGED with those Crimes!!! The Vice President Herself Instated a GoFundMe Account and Acquired Monies that Would Provide for Legal Representation, Bail, etc should ANYONE be Arrested OR Charged to Cover Their Legal Expensed.. WTF is That?? And According to The Democratic Party it was Their “Constitutional Right To Protest!!” Umm What’s Good For The Goose is Good For The Gander!!! From My Perspective The Jan 6th Rioters Had MORE CONSTITUTION RIGHT to Protest as The Democrats STOLE THE 2020 Election, which by the way, HAS BEEN PROVEN in 5 States, To Date, with 255+ Thousand Fraudulent Biden Votes Discovered Thus Far!!! Video’s have PROVEN That Boxes/Suitcases of Biden Votes WERE pulled from under Tables when Republicans were Removed from the Building, Backpacks FULL of Biden Ballots were SEEN Being Dumped in Ballot Boxes Placed All Over Cities/Counties , Counterfeit Ballots have Been Discovered and Faulty Voting Machines Were Used to Accumulate Biden Votes.. Several Democrats Associated with The Election have Been ARRESTED AND Charged with Fraud!! My God What More Does It Take to Prove this Crap!! For me it was ENOUGH to See on Television Election Night when Then President Donald Trump held a Huge Lead Over Biden the Suddenly after Midnight Biden Pulls Ahead By Thousands of Votes and Trump Votes Trickled In or STOPPED Completely!!!
Finally, With The Democratic Persecution of Donald J Trump All 4 years in Office, 2 Purely Partisan Impeachment, The Russian Collusion Hoax, which by the way was PROVEN TO BE TOTALLY Orchestrated By Democrats and, Most Recently A Totally Unsanctioned Partisan Trump Hating Commission assembled by Speaker of The House Nancy Pelosi!!! Everything presented was TOTALLY ONE SIDED Negative!! NOT ONE PERSON with Proof Beyond a Shadow Of A Doubt Donald J Trump was NOT Complicit in any way!! Shoot Even The Trump Hating FBI Cleared Donald J Trump!! Yet, The Persecution CONTINUES Against Trump By Nancy Pelosi, Shummer and Democrats with Trumped Up Charges and Investigations!! YES, The Democratic Regime AND Joe Biden have REPEATEDLY They Will STOP AT NOTHING To Control The 2022 Mid-Term and The 2024 ELECTION!! As recently stated by The Retired NYPD Commissioner in an interview, He is in Fear of Donald J Trump’s Life as he DOES NOT put it past The Proven Desperation Of The Democratic Regime To ASSASSINATE DONALD J. Trump!! Worst part about it is I agree with him!!!
So, There ya have it!!! A Basic Accounting of an American Citizen/Veteran of Obtained Information and Proven Action’s Of The Democratic Party To Themselves OVERTHROW The United States Government and Provide For PERMANENT RULE of The Democratic Party.!!! With The Continued Issuance of PRESIDENTIAL EXECUTIVE ORDER, which by the way, I DO NOT BELIEVE DEMENTIA JOE HAS THE ABILITY TO AUTHOR Let Alone The Inception Ability as Joey Appears Drugged and Controlled By Others. He CAN NOT even read a Teleprompter properly.. The White House Staff Have Stated Several Times Now, they continually have to Direct Joey to the Oval Office or Various Office’s /Room’s Within The White House as he is Repeated LOST!!! Staffers have stated The White House IS NOT A Nursing Home which is WHERE Biden Belongs.
When you consider the alternative of Kamala Harris & Nancy Pelosi In Charge with Primary Rule These Fears of Mine ARE COMPLETELY REAL!! Communism is only A Stones Throw Away and Will Come To Fruition IF & When Dementia Joe is Removed From Office!! I Throughly BELIEVE that Either Kamala Harris OR Nancy Pelosi WILL ENACT THE 25th Amendment and Remove Joey from Office !!! The TWO of Them WILL Spring Into Action To Assume Control OF the Presidency/Vice President Offices AFTER The Mid-Term Election, When The Republican Party Gain Control of Both The House and The Senate.. Between November and Jan. 2023 Before Republicans Move Into The Seats, They WILL USE Their EXECUTIVE POWERS TO ISSUE ORDER’s THAT WILL OVER THROW THE GOVERNMENT AND PUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN PERMANENT CONTROL!! Tell me I am WRONG Please!!
Thank You For Listening , Robin Veteran and Living In Fear American Citizen
If we don’t hold them down in ’22’ and ’24’ we’re doomed as a republic country.
A vote for any Democrat s a vote for Socialist agenda started by Obama & now being crammed down our throats by his minions , like Biden, Holder,Manchineel, Soros & all the Staff members. They are pushing the Critical Race Theory & Gender Dysphasia into all Government Schools. Ruining our children with Indoctrination.
This sounds like “HATE”, why is it thought that Obama is running anything. We are for sure that Trump continues to impress lots of people & he has never stop campaigning since he left office. He also continues to campaign that the election was stolen, when it has been proven it wasn’t? Pushing Critical Race Theory? There is truth & there are lies, I don’t agree with any of the lies. Just because I’m with a party, I don’t embrace the lies. There are some subjects I agree with & some I don’t. Gender Dysphoria, or anything that could affect children & young adults to veer off from what is biologically/or defined as who they were born to be. More than anything I am for what is right, no gray area. I’m still conservative.
Yes
Democrats are a desperate bunch of people with no direction but to let every illegal inside our Nation so they can use them to vote out REALISM and vote in Socialism! Apparently most Dems only have eight grade educations because they would have learned that SOCIALISM DESTROYS COUNTRIES NOT HELPS THEM! But being ignorant seems to be who they are — still pushing for Socialism even though EVERY COUNTRY THAT HAS TRIED IT HAS GONE BELLY UP!
I used to think Dems were fairly intelligent, but watching the current president/administration, all bets are off on the intelligence level!
Dems don’t seem to be happy unless they are trying to destroy someone’s reputation or life! It apparently makes no difference which party you are in, if they smell blood, they’re coming after you!!
Too bad they don’t go after the biggest disappointment and danger to our Nation — biddyboy Biden! Now there is someone with no memory, huge dementia issues and inability to say a complete sentence without forgetting his train of thought! Come on Dems!! The MOST DANGEROUS AND DEMENTIAD PERSON IN D.C. IS SITTING IN THE WHITE HOUSE! Sic em! Go get that guy!! Yes, he is a complete FAILURE and you have every American’s permission to tag him!!
You all are sadly perpetuating the hate and divide of this country through the promotion of lies and misinformation. SMH. Very sad. Thanks for dividing this country and doing Putin’s bidding. You are doing an OUTSTANDING job. Just ask the Russian Dumas or their TV networks. They LOVE this type of misinformation. Just love it.
