“She’s nutty as a fruitcake — still, removing her from the House Education Committee,” Cassidy opined, “Would be an unacceptable infringement of her Second Amendment rights.”

“It cant just be because you want something to be true, it has to be what you know to be true, as best as you can know it,” he said.

Odd that this philosophy didn’t reflect their thoughts on Trump while he was President.

“It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear.”

“We’re going to be pretty soon at only five people. And we could be at just one or two people over the next short period of time. So we’ve had very good luck.”

“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

So after saying ,“We need to base things on facts” Cassidy quotes what the Bible says about truth ??? Like the truth that women are made from the rib of a man, or that Adam named all the animals, or “Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything”

Talk about a mixed message??? Uggghh

Ok now I’m confused, are the rats jumping off the ship or onto the ship?

It is nice to see them acknowledge reality, now if they could just acknowledge humanity.

So not hearing him say “Trump was wrong/lying about the election being stolen.” Until I hear that STFU.

Your mafia organization - excuse me, “political party” - spent over half a century building a mass movement based on lies, propaganda, conspiracies and hate, and now you want to square the circle of mainstream acceptance for the midterms. I sure wish I could say you won’t be able to memory hole your toxic garbage, but given the goldfish memory and gnat level attention span of the electorate and that one quarter to one third of us seem to LOVE racist authoritarianism, you may be able to pull it off.

Throwing Greene against the wall is equivalent to throwing sh*t against the wall to see what sticks.

“Thank you, thank you, Mitch! Now I can be brave again!”
