The dishonesty in that cowardly response is jolting. So it’s the media’s job alone to call out the lies – but for the GOP and Trump, the media is ā€œfake newsā€ and public enemy #1. This guy Risch is unfit for any public office.

Thus, we see a coward. A man who hides behind his own lie of being ā€˜too busy’ to serve his goddamned people.

I see jello. Weak, yellow bellied jello. Bannon ~loves~ what he sees.

peaking beneath the response is a whimpering ā€¦ā€œbut… primaries!ā€

You’re a helluva guy Senator. A real profile in courage. If you’re not there to stand up for your people against obvious BS WTF are you there for? You sure as sht aren’t voting on legislation the way the people in your state are.

Funny, that’s not what Joe Wilson and his back-patting Republobuddies thought in 2009.

All of the representative from Idaho are equally abominable. Risch just wants to make sure he still ā€œfits in.ā€

Let’s not forget Justice Alito shaking his head no when Obama decried the coming influence of Citizen United during the State of the Union which of course Obama was proven right.

I’m beginning to think it would be better if everyone was limited to one term…then they wouldn’t have to worry about the base…or drumming up money for he next election.

They could just…DO…THEIR…JOBS.

Of course the only barrier to being a US Senator is the voters. If they choose to elect a bad circus clown, a renown con man, a habitual liar, an admitted molester of women, and a child-like bully to high national office, as they did with little Donnie-boy, they will do so.
