Let me know when they work in a benghazi angle.

Looks like Mitch did a great job asking them to all get on board yesterday.

Yes, but that’s because, as we all know, Johnson is owned by Putin, and Paul is a complete fucktard.

I’m not sure how #MoscowMitch keeps his people in line, but I guarantee it’s nowhere near as terrifying as how Putin does it.

GOP Representatives and Senators like Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Josh Hawley, Gym Jordan, Devin Nunes and all the rest of the Trump GOP give the true meaning to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Their blind acceptance to Trumps incessant lies and propaganda has rendered them incapable of discerning truth, relevance, and reality . . . .they are all truly deranged

81 million is a bigger number than 74 million, unless he’s using that common core crap, then who knows.

He could try telling them that their concerns didn’t matter when the GOP killed those election security bills.

As if they aren’t doing it for their own purposes.

“74 million voters are not going to shut up.” Nor are they going to make any sense, espouse a serious argument or present actual evidence. They’re going to just keep blathering on like their leader.

“The fraud happened. The election in many ways was stolen, and the only way it’ll be fixed is by, in the future, reinforcing the laws,” he said. (Rand Paul).

“reinforcing the laws,”: Only male, white landowners may vote.

“I predict to you, and I may eat these words, I predict you as Donald Trump’s shadow fades away, you’re going to see an awful lot of change,” Biden said as he reflected tonight on outreach from Senate Republicans.

“I know I’ve been criticized heavily for saying from the beginning, we’ve got to unify the country," Biden said. “I think you’re going to be surprised. It’s going to take six to eight months to get it under way but I think you’re going to be surprised.”

“I’ve never once misled any of my Republican colleagues. Not one single time. And they know they can trust Kamala as well. And we can figure out where we can cooperate. Where we can’t, we have our arguments,” Biden said tonight on a video call with grassroots supporters.

Good luck with that, Joe.

I would love to see them go before a federal judge and repeat these claims. It would be the last time they lie to a judge.

These clowns are trying to blame their constituents. Well, many people didn’t think Bush won in 2000 (he didn’t) and some didn’t think he won in 2004 (he did). And some didn’t think Trump won in 2016 (If you follow the statistical analysis used to say Biden didn’t win in 2020, he didn’t).

The difference was that Gore and Kerry and Hillary sucked it up and conceded. The fault lies entirely with Trump and you Republican enablers. If you stop, the crap, your constituents will accept reality and those who don’t can just live with it as many lived with those other events.

It doesn’t even have to make sense - just say something that sounds like you’ve been victimized.

GOP fraud is part of their Constitution, they claim.
