TFG is more isolated every day it seems. He has outlived his usefulness and is getting some of what he dishes out.

I hope Republican voters make these turncoats pay at the ballot box. Why in the hell would any voter who has been told for two years that the 2020 election was stolen believe these liars? You know what I think they should do? I think they should boycott the midterms. That’ll teach these NeverTrumper rats.

“McConnell Gets Behind Rounds…”

Not to put, um, too fine a point on it, but ‘with your back to McShiv’ is never a safe spot.

A handful of senators willing to cross the “Emperor of All He Sees”?

A reminder that Trump’s own administration stated clearly that the 2020 election was the most secure in our nation’s history.

I hate to say it, but a handful of GOP Senators are not going to make a scintilla of difference. I’ll set my alarm for when Rupert Murdoch and Charles Koch describe the election as fair.

I’ve always said I agree that the election was not stolen — at least to the degree that it was illegal theft,” Cramer told CNN.

What the fuck does that mean, Kevin, other than that you’re terrified to say something that enrages Trump that so definitive that you can’t walk it back when he explodes at you?

They’ll go back to being infrequent voters. The GOP Old Guard knows that they’ll be better off without the troublesome Qanobs.

But not for the GOP Old Guard seeking to put on a “moderate face” for those sweet, sweet 2022 center-right, suburban voters.

I think I was using Rupert as synecdoche for Fox and its Mordor Uruks. But I hadn’t seen the story about Koch – thanks!

Melanoma isn’t going to divorce him. She’s going to wait it out until he kicks off, then she’s going to change all the locks and passwords so the Evil Spawn get shut out.

If she’s lucky, he’ll stroke out soon.

No, I know we have KS and KY on the brain, but Rounds is from South Dakota.

Is the dam breaking? Have these Republicans figured out that the committee has the goods, that Georgia GA has the goods? that Justice has the goods? Inquiring minds want to know.

No reason to divorce him. As it is now, she doesn’t need to share an apartment with him…let alone a bed.

She’ll wait it out. Though, I’m sure that she didn’t think that it would take this long.
