Let’s nail the letter Q to the foreheads of every Republican who refuses to condemn this idiocy. See how the Susan Colinses like to be associated with this insanity.

We have so much to be thankful for Nancy Pelosi! She is so brave.

I read what some in the January 6 insurrection mob wanted to do her, and it sickens me to even think about it.

She had our backs, and we have her's. Go, Nancy, go!

All this bullshit talk about political calculations by ReTHUGs misses the point.
An attempted coup just took place and will not be minimized to appease ReTHUGs.

Post it everywhere! It's no longer GOP. It's now QOP.

We need to use it and use it and use it til it sticks. I'm for flat-out permanent lamination, m'self.

that McQarthy doesn't mind this because it might solidify his position with his nutty base. Actually, I can see that base adopting the practice of substituting Qs for everything.j

She will be 81 yo in March, she has reached the height of her career, she has a Democratic President, House and Senate. She is fed up with the extremes in the Republican caucus.

She ain't leaving nothing on the battleground.

God knows they regret none of it - and would do it again if they could.

They're just sorry Roy Cohn - the brains of witch hunts - is long gone. Especially considering the caliber of their "legal minds" lately.

...before Bobby Kennedy got into the race.

So Qevin’s surname probably doesn’t signify.

LOVE IT! I added the extra "Q" for McQarthy.

That's how we'll be spelling it, from now on.

LAMINATE it to them. And add Superglue to make sure it sticks.

It's true & that's the way ALL RETHUGS should be referred to as: Q's & the GOQ.

They are despicable traitors.

Pelosi is wise. She has excellent ways to tell them to go fuQ themselves.

Those fuQers will begin to get a little "unity" when they renounce Q and QAnon.

Their willingness to allow the crazies in their party a voice regardless of how extreme or delusional it is.

IMO it is driven by the need to hold onto every straw.

Given the following, I don't believe it's going to work in the long run.

This "Geography of Politics" sure made that trend clear and why the change is coming
