Powerful Michigan Political Family Ends Longtime Support of Fake Libertarian Liberal Justin Amash

I imagine that he's been reassured by certain factions that he will get corporate support if he runs for president, and that he'll get corporate gigs after he loses. So I don't think he really cares about elective politics anymore anyway.

The Ruling Class protects its pawns. (To some extent, at least.)

The powerful DeVos family of West Michigan is ending its longtime support of U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, the libertarian Republican who has repeatedly clashed with President Donald Trump.

The family has not made any political contributions to Amash this cycle and "they have no plans to do so," said family spokesman Nick Wasmiller.

...

"Family members have expressed increasing concerns about a lack of representation for their district, the Third Congressional, and I would say an inability to advance efforts connected to important policy matters," he said.

They also cited his Ruling-Class-pleasing support for impeachment.

The Freedom Caucus is sick of his Kristol Meth addiction too.

The House Freedom Caucus on Monday night formally condemned one of its founding members for declaring that President Trump committed impeachable offenses, but stopped short of kicking Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) out of the hard-line conservative group.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the top Republican on the House Oversight Committee and a former chairman of the Freedom Caucus, said that every single member in attendance during a weekly caucus meeting was unified in their opposition toward Amash's comments. The group, which took a show of hands, needs the support of 80 percent of its members to take a formal position on an issue.

"It was every single person who totally disagrees with what he says," Jordan said after the meeting.

Amash did not attend the meeting, but Jordan said he spoke to Amash Saturday night to ask, "What are you doing?"

Hannity is to be applauded for the excellent coverage of the Deep State corruption, but the line about the honorable 99.9 percent is a window into the infantile side of far too many conservatives.

The voters haven't had a choice. This too is by design. The last three years have convinced me the American system is mo more democratic than the Iranian one. The only exception was when the Dems thought they had found a clown to scapegoat, only to usher in the dynasty of Bozo the Wise and Invincible.

much of this disillusionment on Obama being elected for the 2nd time.

The worry-warts are spending too much time watching the news instead of listening to their fellow Americans. Trump is making serious inroads in traditionally Dem minority blocs, especially among male voters. The 2016 had one of the largest male voter turnouts in fifty years, IIRC. That margin is not going to shrink. As for comparing a Trump campaign to a McCain or a Romney campaign, well, that's on you, pal.

I imagine the Progs will point to the couple of States now that do proportional apportionment (my preferred method) as an example of just that. I imagine the Trump lawyer will argue that even in proportional apportioning - the only votes that matter are those inside the State. And I imagine the GOP Establishment will stay silent, claim victory if Trump wins, and do their best to hid their shit-eating grins if Trump loses.

I'm also positive that Justin Amash is not the only one of his kind in the House, and that Impeachment will pass there by a comfortable margin.

They aren't an effective Law until they reach a National Threshhold...
What's the Threshhold?
The same % of Electoral Votes REQUIRED by the Constitution to pass an Amendment.
ONLY
They aren't passing an Amendment, they are turning the Amendment Process into a Deem and Pass situation...

which is in itself meaningless as it is Patently Un Constitutional.

Just went through that in NH with our local school system. Teacher contracts up for negotiation. Lots of "Red for Ed". Now my bank account is bleeding red because my already high property taxes are going up about $600 to pay for just this year's raise and other school system eccentricities.

It's just a precursor to dispensing with the pretense of Democracy. Just look at Venezuela to see how that works. Socialist party gets creamed in an election and loses the legislature? Ban the old legislature and deem the constitution changed to allow you to pack a new legislature with cronies!

Social democracy is only ever democratic until the democracy becomes inconvenient to the socialists.

351 272 I too wish I had your confidence J.J. I have become
so jaded that I heartily believe that about half the American population
are nothing more than trained circus animals, jumping to the
ringmaster's call. And the ringmaster's are the media.

I base
much of this disillusionment on Obama being elected for the 2nd time.
1st time was a giveaway (unfortunately) but the 2nd was inexcusable and
only explained by my circus analogy.

===========================
The worry-warts are spending too much time watching the news instead of listening to their fellow Americans. Trump is making serious inroads in traditionally Dem minority blocs, especially among male voters. The 2016 had one of the largest male voter turnouts in fifty years, IIRC. That margin is not going to shrink. As for comparing a Trump campaign to a McCain or a Romney campaign, well, that's on you, pal.

357 I read this morning that there's something like 182 Electoral College votes that will now be awarded to the eventual "popular vote winner." This is a pretty significant happening, here.

They are actively destroying The United States of America.

Posted by: Sponge


So when Trump wins the "National Popular Vote" in 2020, winning all but California, New York, Illinois and several other Commie states like Washington and Oregon, guess what?

He fucking wins the election, 538 electoral votes to ZERO.

Posted by: Sharkman at May 22, 2019 04:05 PM (fdxBF)

358 I see this as binary.

1. Amash has a principled reason for believing impeachment is necessary.

or

2. He has an ulterior motive.

The latter seems most likely unless he has laid out his reasoning and it appears sound and sincere. I have not seen that yet from him, just broad declarations about needing to impeach. Thus, there is probably an ulterior motive, and if so he needs to go. At this point, will he even run in 2020?
