Examples of GOP Leadership

Just as the base got out of control with the republicans, a segment of the viewers did the same for foxnews. This was most evident when they called the election for Biden in 2020, their ratings fell off a cliff and other more extreme rightwing outlets online began to pick up their viewers. Give them what they want, they want bullshit, give it to them, it's the bottom line that counts, not the facts.

putting the wellbeing of a business over the wellbeing of the people of this country should be a crime, if it is not.
Slander and Libel are a crime, and they did both. This should not only be a civil matter, there should be some regulations put in place to stop fucker carlson and those even worse than him from spreading lies, innuendo, and baseless rumors with impunity. The press enjoys certain freedoms, but they aren't the press. The press presents the news to the people, facts and statements, verified as well as they can verify it. carlson and his shitty ilk do nothing of the kind, and should NOT enjoy that protection.
Murdoch has spent far too long manipulating the people of this country, the entire fox corporation and all of it's entities need to be banned from American media for at least a few years.
The country needs time to heal, and fox continues to pour salt on wounds, real and imagined.

Putting the well-being of a business ahead of the well-being of people is libertarianism in a nutshell.

When I read “rogue Republican”, I had hope. Moderates are the new rogues.

But no; cookie-cutter maga. They used rogue wrong.

yeah but

go rogue
: to begin to behave in an independent or uncontrolled way that is not authorized, normal, or expected

it’s a reach, but not out of the question, maybe

And it has the excellent quality of working with my earlier complaint!
She first fits the MAGA mold pretty well. They, including that woman don't seem to behaving in an independent or uncontrolled way that is not authorized or normal.

They are Trump's Brown Shirts. Just because Trump denies it doesn't mean they aren't acting under his control.

Or, more frighteningly, his dark money source’s.

that would seem to define all republicans....so for a republican to go rogue, they would have to become honest and principled?...¿
Rogues can follow orders. Unprincipled people led by unprincipled leaders mount illegal operations all the time. So, this is not in contradiction with what you said about Republicans. They went Rogue when the party lined up behind Trump after the November 2020 election.

I think it was well before then...At least for some of them. I'm thinking the States Right Democrats, and Strom Thurmond might have been the beginning of the current maelstrom of fuckery that is the republican party.

You forgot they smoke pot. Next to Naziism, Libertarians are the big thing on campus everywhere..even saw it visiting my daughter as an undergraduate..signage in window, cars but that was Orlando and kids come from everywhere for Florida schools.

Talking to one of my undergrad buddies here at CSU, Naziism is huge..the 7-11 on my corner just had the de-escalation team out here, started a fire..it's those fucking little tweekers.

Which was why the Railroad strike thwarted..Union aside, Biden made a decision that would effect all of us- we've been through too much.

FOX created some ugly and scary monsters which they will continue to pander to; Mitch did drop a few Freedom Caucus from Committees and if you're not on one, you're nothing. Message sent.
