Why has she not yet been disbarred?
What is wrong with the Legal Profession in her state?
Why so many criminals?

“But if we can keep them from stealing it, I think we have a good chance to win.”

More BIG LIE nonsense. I thought when lawyers lied, they were sanctioned or disbarred . . .

I am ASHAMED to admit that I voted for her when she served in the Oklahoma House of Representatives. She represented Norman, and was considered a rising star back in the early 1980s. So disappointed to see what she has become.

The first blow should be a hammer to her skull. A crazy rightie showed us how.

Cleta is risking serious hip damage if she tries that.

they started a year ago this narrative,” she said.

I guess talking truth and fact, when strung into complete sentences can be considered a narrative. She has them on that one for sure.

Why hasn’t Garland indicted tRump? So many questions. And to call it “the legal profession” is a stretch. The rule of law in this country is an abomination.

Tootin’ her own horn, much?

In 2021, Trump’s PAC donated $1 million to the CPI — that’s one of its largest donations to date.

…and it worked.

She was very different back in those days–except for her opportunism and self-promotion.

“We’ve got a big challenge with the elections coming up,” Mitchell said in the recording. “But if we can keep them from stealing it, I think we have a good chance to win.”

Righto. And Cleta will be down in the trenches, bayonet in hand, in a life or death struggle with some anarcho-syndicalist liberal.
I think I’ll wait for the comic.
Unless she winds up in the pen, of course, which seems to have a real non-zero probability, unlike all of the above.

I suspect there are many on the left who wouldn’t mind “going hand to hand” with Cleta, except we don’t believe in roughing up old ladies.

How much of that has been used to pay Cleta’s salary?

“The Left”?

What left?

There is no left in the USA. One Senator from a small state does not count, and he does not make policy.
