Wow.

1. I think Brian Sicknick and

Stephanie Garza might disagree.

2. Oh.. the thoughts residing in my head right now...

are not the best of intentions toward that man.

3. First thing Mr. Shields, it's "affects", not effects.

Second thing: Yes it does "affect" ALL lives in this country by destroying the democratic foundation upon which it was built.

10. Thank you, the all too common missuse of "effects" grates on me

Even with your correction the statement still grates on me.

4. Thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of *enthusiastic* MAGAts have friends, family, neighbors

who have been arrested/indicted and will be convicted. They have or may soon lose their jobs, their guns, their right to vote, and go to prison.

I'd say it affects someone pretty profoundly to have someone close to them go to prison. Just ask MAGAt-in-chief. He's got that experience and is about to get some more.

5. And Hunter Biden's laptop and Hillary Clinton's emails do....how?

The masters of empty accusations look at treason and see nothing.

There are 70 million Americans who are being represented by lying fascist scum.

[Raven]

6. I suspect that many of those 70 million Americans have no idea

of the history of this country, have never read the Constitution and don't care if democracy goes away as long as they can keep their guns and have a Walmart close by. I think McCarthy knows that.

[Mr. Ected]

7. A Republican's greatest asset is an ignorant constituency

Or even worse, the ones who understand half a concept and think they know it all.

9. I guess the "strategists" have to be ignorant as well.

8. ...says the strategist for the guy who supported

multiple Congressional inquiries into Benghazi.

Congress spent more time investigating Benghazi than it did 9/11
