Someone Must Ask These Repug Senators That Finally Came Out Against Tuberville.....

why they waited 9 months to confront him?

Certainly the points that they are making now to take him on were in play from the beginning.

If they are so fervent in their criticism of him now - why didn't they have the same opposition to him from the beginning.

Some talking heads are patting the backs of these Senators now - and in my opinion - they don't deserve it. Why did they wait to oppose him?

Are they looking for praise now that their Party has put our Country in peril the last nine months?

I'm Having A Real Hard Time Understanding How The Maine Shooter Was Able.....

to shoot up two (the bowling alley & the bar) sites.

How did he move between the two? Were they right next to each other or blocks away? Did he move on foot? Did he jump in his car? Do they have any security camera footage of his movement between the sites? Has anyone come out and say they witnessed his movement between the sites? Wouldn't you think someone would have seen this going down in real time?

What am I missing here?

Is It My Imagination Or Has This Maine Shooting Dominated The News & Taken.....

the Repug disarray, Tr**p legal troubles, Ukraine/Russia and the Israel/Hamas Wars out of the news?

So After All This Disarray We've Witnessed With The Repug Party Over The Last Months.....

and many of the MSM talking heads talking about the demise of the Repug Party - how long will it be before the MSM does an about face and talk about how the Repugs recovered and that they are leading the way into our grand and glorious future.

So Has Tr**p Called Johnson Yet And Threatened Him?.....

I think we all know that this is coming.

So - How Long Do You Think This Guy Will Last As Speaker?......

Will he make it through the 2024 elections or will he go down well before that for perhaps - funding Ukraine; extending the funding of the government; etc?

Any Statements From Tr**p Yet On These Plea Deal Makers?......

I got to think he's throwing ketchup on the walls of Mar-A-Lago.

I also heard he got a $5000 penalty for violating a gag order. Given that to him that's just pocket change - he might be thinking $5000 is worth it to bad mouth Powell and Chesboro.

Has Tr**p Attacked Sidney Powell Yet?......

I got to think that he is truly spooked about her plea.

If he did attack her - what did he have to say?

Regarding The Threats To Repug's In The Party....

At one time we heard that Repugs backed away from taking on Tr**p because they were afraid of being primaried and without a job - because all Tr**p had to do was support a more loyal subject than them.

Lately it sounds like those threats have escalated and now we hear that elected Repugs have a fear of physical attack to themselves and their families due to threats that they get on the internet, in e-mails and phone calls.

We just heard that Gym Jordan has also issued threats to House Repug Members if they don't support his bid for Speaker.

As is written in Romney's new book - the Repugs back off of Tr**p and his antics out of fear for their family’s safety.

It was said that one congressman reasoned that Trump would be impeached by House Democrats with or without him — why put his wife and children at risk if it wouldn't change the outcome? Think of your personal safety, said another. Think of your children.

My question - is anything being done by DOJ or law enforcement in general to monitor these threats and follow-up on them and prosecute those that are issuing these threats?

Has the mob taken over the Repug Party? Does Tr**p have a team of thugs out there that would make good on those threats?

I know that it will be said that these threats are being made by MAGA supporters of Tr**p. Those brainwashed and brain deficient MAGA loyalists that Tr**p has as his base. If so - then those MAGA's making these threats must be found and made and example of. They need to be prosecuted to send a message out to others that might make threats - that there are consequences.

Also - now I'm not so sure that these threats aren't issued by Tr**p himself and that he's prepared to make good on the threats as an example to keep the Repug Party in line.

It seems to me that either the DOJ or law enforcement bodies around the country need to investigate and follow-up on these threats and make an example of those that are issuing these threats - as a deterrent.

If the Repug Party is being run - out of a fear of endangerment to their lives and the lives of their family - it has to stop.

Really - is anyone doing anything to stop these threats? Even the Judges in Tr**p's indictments seem to thread lightly when it comes to holding Tr**p to some accountability when issuing gag orders. They treat him with kid gloves and he gets away with being able to turn his nose up and dismiss any of the gag orders that these judges issue and continue to spew lies and threats.

At one time - I bought the excuse that these elected Repug's were worried about being primaried and losing their jobs in Congress. Now I'm beginning to believe that they actually fear for their lives and the lives of their family.

Is this the way we're supposed to live now with Tr**p looming over the 2024 election and becoming poised to actually steal the presidency this time and walking away totally 'scott free'?

Will The One Vote Vacate Rule Still Hold With A New Speaker Or....

was that strictly a McCarthy compromise to get the seat?

Does a new Speaker have the opportunity to change the rule?
