Our State RNC chairman sent an email today urging us to contact representatives to demand pushback on the organization formed to foil all Trump activities and unseat him.
A link to the resistance handbook is included. Unbelievable.

Well, they certainly lie about the Tea Party.

Just skimmed that. Discovered it was published back in December in this article on its origin:

Since Trump is more a populist than a conservative (e.g. no conservative worthy of the name would propose the barriers to free trade that Trump has) I doubt that they'll manage any coherent push-back against the "Trump agenda". But the target is really the Republican agenda, such as it exists.
The document admits their tactics can only hope, at best, to stall things in hopes of winning back seats in 2018.

And this comes from the Republican party?
Perhaps new leadership is needed....

They are truly attempting to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

I didn't read the article, but there is no small amount of leftist-driven implied "equivalency" with the Tea Party, when nothing could be further from the truth, and they know it.
Every Tea Party rally that I went to was a celebration of limited government, with little to no social issues involved. (Certainly some speakers were pro-life, and may have mentioned that, but that was it.) They were behaved, enthusiastic, and we left every public place in nicer conditions than when we arrived, every single time. No traffic was blocked. Virtually every one of us could have earned a Boy Scout Citizenship merit badge on the spot.
Still, the narrative at the time, and continuing to this day, was that they were violent, racist, homophobic rants against a black president. Nothing could be further from the truth, but that is their justification for violence.
As for yelling at Town Halls, that was NOT a Tea Party thing. It was a citizen revolt against the partisan passage of the unconstitutional Obamacare. And it was typically single citizens speaking up, and never a mass of demonstrators trying to silence legislators. We wanted answers, and you only get those if you listen to them.

Agreed. The GOP establishment is like an injured animal - sometimes that's when animals are the most dangerous.

Good analogy. The GOPe is aligning itself with the rabid, gnashing Left. Bad move.

Another unbelievable thing. Starbucks, apparently not content merely with pledging to hire 10,000 refugees in the next five years, has placed pictures of President Trump on the floor at some stores so people can step on his face.
Unbelievable.

If it is hard to believe, do some research. Google keywords as simple as "starbucks trump floor" yielded in the first few hits:

I should expect such things, I guess, especially if it's a photo.
But it's sad to have to be suspicious of everything. :-\

The level of disrespect for the office is unbelievable. The double standards coming from the left is ridiculous and somehow the right is labeled as the violent ones.

True. For eight years Obama ignored the Constitution, and laws he didn't like. He also used his office, and his underlings like Holder, and Lynch to subvert law, and act to divide our country along racial, ethnic, economic, gender, religious, and other areas. Yet, the media, nor Republican, and conservative groups never publicly ridiculed him like is happening to Trump. If they did we all know the RACE CARD would be played as it was for even just disagreeing with HIS POLICIES.
I hope more of America is waking up to this dishonesty, and hypocrisy.
