OMG, that was a good one!

Pence will talk to God himself and his mother-wife and be told not to comply with earthly subpoenas.
We really need to clear space at Gitmo for any traitors who attacked our democratic election.

So American heroes Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) stepped up.

If this were not so sad and disgusting it would be comical.

I am trying not to think about how those two spend their time together when not trying to overthrow the government.

“autogolpe”

I learned a new word, today.

A self-coup, also called autocoup, is a form of coup d’état in which a nation’s leader, having come to power through legal means, dissolves or renders powerless the national legislature and unlawfully assumes extraordinary powers not granted under normal circumstances.

  • “I do think that there will be attempts by the Democrats obviously to gain, or trying to get, some political advantage out of it,” said Sen. John Thune (R-SD), chair of the Senate Republican conference.

It sounds like Biden is the kick-off event for the commemoration today, no? I saw that ABCNewsLive is covering it but that’s a streaming service. Anyone know if real TV is covering this today?

I’m thinking “religious freedom” has just jumped the shark.

Oh. My. It had seriously never occurred to me how cynical the Democrats are being, trying to use the tragedy of the capital attack, to their own advantage, by shamelessly trying to hold the perpetrators of the attack accountable. I guess I’ll be voting for the GOP in November!
