Probably noted previously but the Texas GOP have gone certified batshit.

--President Biden is the "acting" president because he didn't win legally; Texans should vote on seceding; the Voting Rights Act of 1965 should be repealed; any gun control is a rights violation: this is the world as seen by the Republican Party of Texas, according to its newly adopted party platform.--

And I'm all out of bubblegum.

The section on election fraud concludes by urging every Republican to vote in order to "overwhelm any possible fraud."
That's probably a really bad strategy. Everything suggests that telling your voters that the other side is cheating is actually going to depress your own turnout. The people it would otherwise excite into voting are already going to vote for you, while it might actually discourage others because... well, what does it matter? They'll just steal the election anyway.

This is most likely what flipped both GA seats.

Basically what happened in GA.

I am a bit behind todays hearings, but I am loving Donoghue. Motherfecker gave no fecks about taking Clark’s soul from him in front of him. The disdain he holds him in is palpable.

What makes it even more juicy is that Clark was in his PJs early this AM on the street while the FBI raided his house & confiscated his electronic devices.

Weird. MTG may have asked for a pardon even before she was sworn in.
:lol: :lol: :lol:

While the other fury covered up an ATV accident (in which she ditched family to save herself) and allegedly did illegal prostitution, I wonder what naughty things the psychopath of Georgia has done to ask a pardon.

Mmm... We are still looking for clues about that unsolved crime, but that would not be outside of the realm of her extremely deranged psyche.

I wonder how Ted Cruz has escaped all of this. He was as vocal as the rest but I guess not as stupid.
His time will come. He's one of those whom you know that he is a crook and that he will make one fatal mistake down the road.

I just clicked in here after a long time because I was bored. Is this charade still going on? Can we just feck it off, give Trump and his family loads of tax-payers cash and save us all three years? Surely America needs to get back to what it does best: foreign policy.

Or is this the smoke and mirrors? 4-D chess. :eek: :lol:

I just remember that George (iirc) commissioner that testified that he wouldn't break his oath for Trump actually said during his testimony that he believed the US Constitution was divinely inspired. That was really telling because he was supposed to be one of the sane, moderate ones. Yet he still believe a political document written by flawed slave-owners was divine inspired and God's will or some bullshit.

Errr...America doesn't or isn't the best at foreign policy, or in fact ANY policy.

They are a backwards, racist country.

Oh, he’s no moderate. He’s very, very conservative, almost militantly so. It was the fact that his faith was impugned when Trump tried to get him to break the law was the reason for his testimony. Take out the thump in him, he would have fallen right in line.

If they are, bravo to them. I think it’s all above board.
If he was picking up people in the middle of nowhere I guess, but they are at a political rally, surely the trumpers around them talk about jan 6, and they have no idea what happened? Man, if they're for real, I wish I was that ignorant, must be an absolutely blissful existence.

Have you been in a coma for the last 6 years or so?
