“We fully know the election was corrupt. Hell, we did it. And we want a thorough investigation. But, after all that work and all that money, we deserve to seat our candidate. Even if he didn’t win he should have. After all, he is the Republican. “

Bless their ratfkin’ little hearts. ‘We KNOW he’s a fraud and a cheat but he’s OURS and we think he should be seated…just until, you know, we help ya’ll sort this out!’ AHOLES.

The state Republican Party and the 9th Congressional District GOP said -“We understand the investigation — which we fully support — may need more time, but it is unfair to the voters and Dr. Harris not to present significant public evidence for review before the new Congress convenes. A delay is acceptable in the resolution but only if substantial public evidence is presented immediately to justify it,” the groups said in a statement.

Well we know that there was shenanigans going on but we need to make it harder to undo the harm that we caused.

Hmm. Maybe I will. Although some years ago I decided to go to Hell. That came when I realized that spending eternity with the people who are certain they’re Heaven-bound would be truly hellish.

The NC GOP doesn’t get to decide this. Speaker Pelosi and the Dems should refuse to seat Harris, and request that Gov. Cooper appoint a temporary replacement until a new election is held.

I read this as RATFINK and I thought, what a quaint phrase, I have not heard that in a LONG time.

THEN I looked again and I realized it is the still-in-current-usage of ratfking.

Both are appropriate.
