With her Trumpuppeteer.
A puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object, called a puppet, to create the illusion that the puppet is alive. The puppet is often shaped like a human, animal, or Republican.

Well our Republicans have seen how that can happen in Poland and Hungary.
I remember that Poland’s ruling hard right party-Law and Order, did what our Republicans would consider sacrilege, pay an amount of money monthly for each child to the parents. The gov’t is subsidizing having children in a country that has very low wages compared to the rest of the EU.
This will not fly with our bunch autocratic wannabes-Republicans, but how can the top what Poland has done?

It’s mind boggling to me how Republicans reacted to Trump. The DNC would never have swung as hard and fast to Bernie if he had won. The Committee would still be trying to find ways to keep him from ever regaining office.

In the days of the Holy Inquisition, their mighta been a workout in the basement followed by a public execution to free the repentant soul from worldly temptation.
I don’t think the reactionaries can go down that road, yet.

I think someone on twitter said that Columbus “discovering” America was like some guys on a boat getting lost at sea,eventually landing in India, where they saw 100,000,000 people and said that they “discovered” this place.

Dunno.
Burning at the stake, I thought. We don’t do that anymore, but her Reactionary Republican Party is probably itching to bring it back.

Here’s the the thing. The state legislature sets up election boards. When the election boards made changes as they’re allowed to do per state law, Repubs said 'By the Constitution, it’s the State legislatures that have to make the changes, not the election board." and thus unconstitutional.
That’s the rather thin gruel that they wanted to overturn the election to.

His hedging ? I don’t see genuine/authentic “hedging” … I see BS being tossed - he is going to dance around the most egregious Lies - not because he is not in love with them - but simply to make it a bit more difficult to pin them on him right now …
He is doing the old Lee Atwater thing … he is talking “crime” and “busing” and “welfare” when, in his heart he would be delighted to be screaming N*****, N*****, N***** … but he does not want to offer up a foolish crude instrument for his adversaries to bludgeon him …
He will tap dance around whether he believes the election was “stolen” … instead he is blowing smoke … claiming (without evidence) that states “didn’t follow their legislatively set rules.”
… he will leave them having to pursue him with the “code words”.
Look … if it was with the fate of the nation hanging in the balance & Steve Scalise was somehow involved with / in a decision as to how the electors for Louisiana were to cast their votes - even if the general election tally showed 70% for the Democratic candidate … and 29% for the Republican … Scalise would put his thumb on the scale and tip it to the Republican … it would not involve ethics or integrity at all (as he has not an ounce of either) - it would be pure power and pure control and pure politics.

Everyone is deplorable, it’s the depth to which you sink that denotes how deplorable you are.
Republican will legislate to the extremes, while Dems try to legislate for the good of all. With Sinema and Manchin pulling the likes of Jayapal and AOC to scale back their legislating the good for the most, which on the scale puts Sinema and Machine with that minority of “moderate” Dems closer to Republicans. Republicans want to limit the good for the most to a very tiny group of those who don’t need the help.

Back in the day when America was much, much more WASPish, Columbus, a Genovese Catholic was venerated as a hero. Apparently, the “Knights of Columbus” moniker was meant as a mild rebuke to an otherwise anti-Catholic American political hierarchy when the organization was founded in the early 1880s.

But did Kinzinger vote for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to go forward, or *against * it? Ask the same about Liz Cheney. She voted against it as well.

He sure as hell was not perfect and should’ve been castigated for doing that. I think he was. and rightly so.
