Doug Collins, Kevin McCarthy and I'm sure many others. Seriously, don't know why Republicans come across as assholes and bullies.. I don't get that same vibe from Democrats.

God put us here to work hard to put us on top so we earned it and nothing you can do about it. Superiority seems to yield a handful of cases of abuse.

And unfortunately, Idi Chumpin is sure to veto anything that even suggests a check and balance of what he believes to be medieval king-like powers.

even if Trump vetoes every single check on his power. That it even got a vote in Mitch McConnell's Senate is fairly stunning IMHO.

Congress does. He knows if he did that McConnell and the Senate majority won't do a damn thing about it other than express concerns.

I mean, Congress is passing a bill to limit the President's "War powers" when its the Congress and only the Congress who has the constitutional authority to declare war. Upsidedownbackwards world strikes again.

And this is not an insult, as I am a gay man. . .

Mr. Cotton supposedly regularly seeks sexual liaisons with other like-minded men. . . And while this is not something for him to be ashamed about, he obviously IS. . .

I do have friends in that shit hole commonly known as Arkansas (my apologies to any nice Arkansans on here) who are in the know about Tom Fucking Cotton. . . . That state has about the WORST politicians of any state in the country, and that is a high bar with dumb shits like Devin Nunes or that fucking moron, Louie Gohmert, or that fool, Matt Gaetz. . .
