The big lie
These fuckers are relentless
They obviously don’t give a shit that history will view them as traitors on a level that far exceeds Benedict Arnold.
No shame indeed
I keep waiting for a Mr. Smith goes to Washington moment from any senator …any
In my dreams They are all bought and sold

Senator Joseph Paine : Let me go! I’m not fit to be a senator! I’m not fit to live! Expel me, not him! Willet Dam is a fraud! It’s a crime against the people who sent me here - and I committed it! Every word that boy said is the truth! Every word about Taylor and me and graft and the rotten political corruption of my state! Every word of it is true! I’m not fit for office! I’m not fit for any place of honor or trust! Expel me, not that boy!

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous plot we have ever had to face.

Nah.

With all the “investigations” of this - Barr, Rudy, Horowitz, Durham, Nunes, others in the House, Lindsey and the Senate - this is getting to be like Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. How many times can they come up empty and still stay determined that something must be there if it’s being hidden so well?

If I were Schiff, I would be jumping for Joy.

It’s like a baseball team announcing that, for six innings, they won’t try to score runs at all.

That of course seems more likely but there is this nagging thought in my mind that is whispering that they really do believe it.

It is now. Besides, the Confederacy at this point is a movement, not a geographic area. You know what I meant, poopypants.

So the GOP Senate is covering up the coverup of the coverups of GOP treason.

Good one!

I know what you mean, but consider this …

Trump could not testify like Hillary did. He is incapable of telling the truth or speaking in coherent sentences. Or of keeping his focus on anything (except golf and maybe Ivanka) for longer than a few minutes.
