Is It Just A Coincidence That Now That The Dems Control The Senate, House & WH That The Repugs Are..

talking the 25A; impeachment; jumping ship and resigning administration jobs; cabinet posts; etc - and finally talking tough about Trump? Saying things like "These people that stormed the Capitol Bldg don't represent real Republicans."

Now why would you think that is happening now - 13 days before Trump's term ends?

Ossoff and Warnock won't be sworn in until the election is certified, which will probably be before Jan. 20 - assuming the GOPers don't demand recounts.

The ones still on trump's team are dragging the rest down in a mud they can't wash off easily.

If Democrats play this right and not play nice they can paint them as a party of radicals, conspiracies, ect.
