Amash wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Thursday, "Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party." He said he had become "disenchanted with party politics and frightened by what I see from it. The two-party system has evolved into an existential threat to American principles and institutions."
Great news for the Republican Party as one of the dumbest & most disloyal men in Congress is “quitting” the Party. No Collusion, No Obstruction! Knew he couldn’t get the nomination to run again in the Great State of Michigan. Already being challenged for his seat. A total loser!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 4, 2019
Amash is the first and only GOP lawmaker to state that Trump should be impeached based on the findings of Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Several Republicans have have said they plan to challenge him in the GOP primary in his district.
Well technically there are currently NO GOP lawmakers that believe Trump should be impeached. Amash was "literally" a RINO and now is officially no longer a member of the GOP. So we can now go back to what we all really deep down knew. Only partisans with TDS believe he should be impeached.

Smash pretended to be many things to get elected. He won't be re-elected.
Two hundred and forty-three years ago, our founding fathers lit a torch.
They were fueled by an idea stronger than any army, bigger than any ocean, and more powerful than any dictator.
In this country, we're all bound together in this great experiment of equality and opportunity and decency. Everyone, and I mean everyone, is in on the deal. We haven't always lived up to this promise, but we've never given up on it. That's why we've been the beacon of hope for the rest of the world.
That idea has given hope to the most desperate people on Earth. It has instilled in every single person in this country the belief that no matter where they start in life, there’s nothing they can’t achieve if they work at it.
That idea is America.
And more than two centuries later, we're still carrying the torch passed down by our founders.
We carry that torch around the world, serving in uniform and doing the vital work of diplomacy. We carry it in the laws that we pass, and with the leaders we elect. We carry it in our daily acts of quiet humanity—in the moments when we choose to hear each other. When we choose to help each other. When we choose to look past our divisions, fix our eyes on the horizon, and commit to finding a better way, and doing it together.
That's the America I believe in -- and that's the America I'll never stop fighting for.
Happy Fourth of July. God Bless America, and may God protect our troops.

The first Medal of Honor ever recorded
The founders envisioned Congress as a deliberative body in which outcomes are discovered. We are fast approaching the point, however, where Congress exists as little more than a formality to legitimize outcomes dictated by the president, the speaker of the House and the Senate majority leader.
With little genuine debate on policy happening in Congress, party leaders distract and divide the public by exploiting wedge issues and waging pointless messaging wars. These strategies fuel mistrust and anger, leading millions of people to take to social media to express contempt for their political opponents, with the media magnifying the most extreme voices. This all combines to reinforce the us-vs.-them, party-first mind-set of government officials.
Modern politics is trapped in a partisan death spiral, but there is an escape.
Most Americans are not rigidly partisan and do not feel well represented by either of the two major parties. In fact, the parties have become more partisan in part because they are catering to fewer people, as Americans are rejecting party affiliation in record numbers.
These same independent-minded Americans, however, tend to be less politically engaged than Red Team and Blue Team activists. Many avoid politics to focus on their own lives, while others don’t want to get into the muck with the radical partisans.
But we owe it to future generations to stand up for our constitutional republic so that Americans may continue to live free for centuries to come. Preserving liberty means telling the Republican Party and the Democratic Party that we’ll no longer let them play their partisan game at our expense.
Today, I am declaring my independence and leaving the Republican Party. No matter your circumstance, I’m asking you to join me in rejecting the partisan loyalties and rhetoric that divide and dehumanize us. I’m asking you to believe that we can do better than this two-party system — and to work toward it. If we continue to take America for granted, we will lose it.
He's a libertarian. You think he's a traitor for deserting the President.

Justin Amash "declared his Independence" from the Republican party... and according to polls, voters are going to declare his independence from Congress for him as well.

Jackass gets his job as a Republican and AFTER he's in office, decides he doesn't like the views of people that elected him.
That is called BETRAYAL, not principle.
Then later, Sleep Joe will get together with the rest of the Democratic nominees and trash his President, call him a racist, call him a predator, call him every name in the book...
You know, all in the spirit of togetherness and American values!
Roger, spamming every tread.
Sad.
Who is Mail Order.Fucking on this the 4th?
He's a libertarian. You think he's a traitor for deserting the President.
he's an asshole who's getting primaried and this is his only hope of keeping his seat.
for someone who is a self-proclaimed political expert, even the simplest of things is beyond your grasp alky.

Colin Kaepernick and @Nike have revived patriotic interest in Betsy Ross and her contributions to the USA. Our entire country is talking about her and her flag today. It's not what the haters and the globalists wanted, but that's what happened. Think about it.
