So why hasn’t the old fool migrated to Moscow by now? He loves Putin more than he loves President Biden!

Back when McCarthy wasn’t full MAGA:

In an exchange first reported by the Washington Post, McCarthy said: “There’s …there’s two people, I think, Putin pays: [California Representative Dana] Rohrabacher and Trump … [laughter] … swear to God.”

I think the grossest part of the Press Herald article I read was learning that Duma Dana has teenaged triplets. A close second was the reminder that he lives in my state…

The @capitolhunters account noted that Rohrabacher spoke at a December rally organized by Alan Hostetter, the ex-police chief turned yogi Trump fanatic…

Hostetter?!?

Where have we seen him before?

Oh, yeah:

OK, if his presence there was all on the up and up, WHY THE FUCK did it take capitolhunters to ID him MONTHS LATER to get him to admit he was there?

He deserves to be tried and hanged.

As dumb as Rohrabacher is he was smart enough to let others do the fighting, just like Trump told them he was going to march with them and then went to see the fight from the comfort of the WH.

I tend to think that a lot of what has been dividing us is totally deliberate and comes from Russia. So that makes Rorabacher part of the whole thing - he’s such a traitor.

He knew exactly what was happening and was there to witness it, see the last sentence in my previous comment.

When certain people pop up you realize what a pleasure it was to have forgotten for a few years that they existed.

Rohrabacher told the Portland, Maine Press Herald. “But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do.”

Certainly not: Vlad needed eyes and ears on the ground, not incarcerated.

Come on now – he was just hoping to see if that gum he stuck under his desk was still there. Innocent bystander!
