After Donald Trump’s Iowa Win, Former VA Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) Plaintively Asks, whatever happened to the GOP I … – Blue Virginia

See below for an interesting post by former Virginia Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) on Trumps win last night in Iowa. Note, though, that what Bolling writes, really does require a few corrections (in BOLD BLUE ALL-CAPS, by yours truly), as Bolling spews out some of the same lies, distortions and right-wing blather than he rails against. So weird, but keep in mind that Bollings been a conservative and a Republican his entire adult life, hasnt ditched the party (to my knowledge) despite the fact that its become a Trump cult, etc. And Bolling really cant help himself with the total b.s. both-sidesism, false equivalence, and amplification of utter nonsense about liberals, Democrats, Joe Biden, etc. Its kinda sad, really, that this guys actually one of the better Republicans these daysugh.

*************************

THE TRUMP FACTOR

Clearly, todays GOP belongs to Donald Trump, which leaves me asking whatever happened to the GOP I knew and served for more than twenty years?

The answer to this question is both simple and complex.

It started with the advent of the Tea Party in 2009. The Tea Party refocused the GOP on a more conservative message, but it also brought a philosophical rigidity with it, as well as a more mean spirited approach to politics and policy.

And then, in 2016, the Tea Party joined with a true grass roots populist movement to hand the GOP over to Donald Trump.

But even then, Trumps hold on the GOP may not have been absolute.

The almost cult like following surrounding Trump has been solidified since he left office by what he and his supporters see as an incessant persecution of Trump by the liberal media [THERE IS, OF COURSE, NO LIBERAL MEDIA TO SPEAK OF], the Biden Justice Department [ITS NOT BIDENS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, ITS AMERICAS JUSTICE DEPARTMENT], and Democratic prosecutors in places like New York, Atlanta, and other places; who they believe have weaponized the judicial process against Trump.

Many people discount Trump, but they should not. Like it or not, Trump represents the views of millions of Americans who believe their country is under attack by liberal politicians, the liberal media, liberal academics, Hollywood, etc. [THEY BELIEVE THIS LUNACY IN LARGE PART BECAUSE THEYVE BEEN FED A STEADY DIET OF LIES, AND ALSO BECAUSE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA DEFINITELY NOT LIBERAL MEDIA HAS MOSTLY AMPLIFIED THOSE LIES, CERTAINLY HAS NOT CORRECTED/REFUTED THEM ADEQUATELY!]

They passionately believe that these liberal forces are trying to turn America into a socialist country that rejects many of the political, cultural and religious beliefs they hold.

And lets not forget that the alternative being offered by Democrats is not compelling. [ACTUALLY, THE ALTERNATIVE BEING OFFERED BY DEMOCRATS IS VERY COMPELLING CLIMATE ACTION/CLEAN ENERGY, ECONOMIC GROWTH FROM THE BOTTOM UP AND MIDDLE OUT, EXPANDED HEALTHCARE OPTIONS,

[THIS ENTIRE PARAGRAPH IS COMPLETE CRAP. IN FACT, BIDEN IS DOING A SUPERB JOB BY ANY MEASURE ECONOMY ARGUABLY THE BEST IN DECADES, MASSIVE INVESTMENT IN AMERICAS INFRASTRUCTURE, ETC!] By any measure, Joe Biden is a weak president who is immensely unpopular. He is old and tired, and he has shown no ability to galvinize support or confidence among the American people.

All this makes for a dynamic and divisive 2024 presidential campaign, which could leave deep wounds in American democracy, regardless of the outcome. [THIS IS ALSO COMPLETE BULLSHIT A BIDEN WIN WILL NOT LEAVE DEEP WOUNDS IN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, ONLY A TRUMP WIN WILL DO THAT]

Personally, I wish Donald Trump had never arrived on the national political scene. But he did, and for better or worse, he has had a greater impact on our country than any political figure in a hundred years.

Inside Hollywood’s BAFTA Tea Party: Rosamund Pike, Emily Blunt, Greta Gerwig and More (Exclusive) – The Messenger

On Saturday, BAFTA (the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) held its annual awards season tea party in Los Angeles, welcoming stars to the Maybourne Beverly Hills for an afternoon of celebration.

The Messenger was in attendance to scope the A-list scene, which took place on the rooftop of the hotel. Stars milled about enjoying the lush decor of red roses and candles, sampling tea sandwiches, as well as lobster tacos and wagyu tartare appetizers, pastries, champagne, and of course a full tea bar.

Among those present was Rosamund Pike, who shared laughs with Seth Rogan, discussed Tom Clancy novels with Paul Giamatti("You really got me into [the] books!" the Downton Abbey star enthused) and posed for a photo with Saltburn co-star Alison Oliver.

Pike kept her pink Dior sunglasses on for a mini-Saltburn reunion, sharing a big group hug with Emerald Fennel and Archie Madekwe.

Giamatti, meanwhile, had a Holdovers meet-up with Dominic Sessa, tapping his co-star on the shoulders proudly.

Rogan was in a jovial mood, joking with attendees and keeping everyone in stitches with his repertoire.

Oppenheimer's Emily Blunt and Cillian Murphy met on the red carpet with a long hug and a heartfelt "congratulations" from Murphy. Blunt also traded hugs with Daisy Jones & the Six's Sam Claflin, confessing to him that "it's a lot."

As for Claflin, he arrived with his girlfriend, model Cassie Amato. The two posed together for pictures on the carpet.

Barbie director Greta Gerwig was flooded on the carpet with well-wishers offering congratulations and letting her know how much they loved the blockbuster hit movie, to which she responded with a delighted thank you so much and lots of hugs.

Barbie star America Ferrera expressed joy when running into Eva Longoria, giving her a big hug. Longoria, for her part, was overjoyed to spot Gael Garca Bernal, letting out an excited scream when she saw the actor/producer. They posed for photos together, and chatted for several minutes in a circle.

Longoria also spent time with her Flamin' Hot star, Jesse Garcia, conversing and introducing him to new people, as well as rubbed elbows with Adrien Brody.

Derek Hough and Julianne Hough arrived together and expressed immediate shock at how packed the lobby of the Maybourne was. They both looked at each other and exclaimed "OMG," before Derek made his way to say hello and chat with Alfonso Ribeiro. Meanwhile, Julianne had a long chat with former president of STX, Sophie Watts, apparently about a new dance project.

Virgin Atlantic, which sponsored the event, offered up a playful change from the usual event formalities, encouraging attendees to throw bean bags and compete for a prize.
