is saying on MSNBC that if she'd died, or if multiple members of congress had died, it would probably not make a difference to the repugs entrenched in drump's camp. Chris Cuomo made this point several times on CNN last night. He asked Don Lemon how many of them would have had to die to move repug votes. Lemon said it wouldn't matter how many died. Cuomo also said that this was the fulfillment of dump's boast that he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave., and it wouldn't matter to his followers. We'll have to see how the trial progresses, but I fear Jayapal, Cuomo, and Lemon are right. And if that's not a textbook example of a cult, I haven't seen one. "We believe in our guy so deeply that we'll overlook it if he commits murder." There's an exception, though. If Pelosi, Schiff, AOC, and Jayapal had died, they would have said they deserved it. If Hawley, Cruz, and McConnell had died--even Pence--maybe not so much.

Power and money are the only things that matter to them.

Cruz, Hawley and the rest of that cabal need to be handed a blow.

They act like everything comes out of their own pockets.
Yes Cruz and Hawley are part of the crime family.
And need to be taken down.
They have only disdain for the American public; it's one of the reasons why health care isn't a basic right in this country.

and Brown people. They were quite not concerned who was dying.
