"Are They Really Going To Pretend This Didn't Happen?"

I caught a little of "Morning 'Yes, We Gave Donnie Dipshit Millions in Free Advertising, but it's NOT Our Fault" Joe this morning.

They were talking about Ron Johnson playing down and questioning the "insurrection".

You know, just your typical...

"Was it even an armed insurrection"?

"If so, it sure was a piss-poor armed insurrection" "Where were the AK47s"?

"What were they going to do with zipties?" "Walk up to Mike Pence and say; 'here put these on'"?

"Was Officer Sicnick even really hurt by the mob"? "How do we know he didn't just fall into a fire extinguisher...have a dozen times"?

Arghhhhhhhhhhh!

Anyway, at one point Joe said; "is this really going to be their plan; to pretend this didn't happen"?

My immediate response was Why Wouldn't They?

They've been allowed to pretend:

- Fox News is a legitimate news organization.
- Hate Radio is just innocent entertainment.
- Tax cuts pay for themselves and trickle down to the masses
- Barack Obama was born in Kenya
- Hillary Clinton is a global pedophiles mastermind who likes young children served on a pizza
- The 1787 2ND Amendment applies to semi-automatic weapons with 100 Round Barrel Clips and Sawed-off Shotguns
- Donnie Dipshit is a Christian

Etc., Etc., Etc.

So tell me Joe, Why wouldn't they 'Pretend this didn't happen'"?

Please add your list of things Retrumplicans are allowed to pretend...

In fact, the Republican Party is made up of seditionists, anarchists, Fascists and stupid fools.

I can't think of one thing Republicans have done for the American people since President Obama left office. Why does anyone who isn't rich adhere to Republican politics?
