No one has to resign anymore because any evil is being normalized…at least in the Republican side of Congress, and the Republican side of States.

Meanwhile…Big Media whistles past the graveyard plot being prepared for the Democratic experiment in America. The rot begins there.

In truth, in a bygone age, this party without a party platform other than a cable news network would be torn part by big media and forced into some manner of normally. Ponder upon why it isnt.

It is why I will never contribute a cent to any Senator who publicly called for Al’s resignation. I also will never support any of them to be our nominee for president. Only a public apology to Al would change that for me, and only a handful have had the integrity to offer that.

It's reasonable to have her removed from all committees and Congress and never allowed to hold office again. Who's going to make it happen? Mc15Carthy? She says out loud what so many republicans are thinking, which is truly a sad commentary on our country. Color me shocked if they remove her from anything or even take her mic away.

The radical right of the GOP, which now appears to be a majority, really does want to destroy Federalism

They want a confederacy of sovereign states each with equal standing to any and all central government institutions.

Unfortunately, there are no modern or ancient examples of such a system actually functioning.

Accumulation of power = accumulation of power over others. Any state that is ascendent in a confederacy quickly attempts to seize control of power.

This is why the teahadist states so hate California and New York, and look side-eyed at Texas and Florida.

With a few slight of hand manuevers any of our 4 great states could achieve and sit on its dominance, to the subjugation of us all.

Never forget the first rule of being a benign giant is to avoid stepping on the little ones.

She is a lying, incompetent, ignorant delusional Republican. In what respect does she differ greatly from the other Republicans in Congress? Judging from how much criticism she has received from her fellow Republicans, they seem perfectly fine with everything she has said so far.
