I don't believe the GOP is really backing donnie.

Okay, this is a weird idea, but, given what I'm seeing online, I think they're mostly backing the idea of someone LIKE HIM being in the WH. I would bet that if you gave some of these assholes a Hollywood movie "truth serum," they would admit he's been a useful idiot, think he's a moron, and are pissed he wasn't smart enough to not fuck up. But they want someone like him so they can keep doing what they've been doing all along.

I just have a problem believing these people really want to back a useless PoS like him. They want someone who will stay in power and cover for them.

I am so sick of these assholes claiming stuff is "unconstitutional"

just as a talking point to get attention.

If the Constitution covered everything people claim, it would be longer than the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.

Keilar on Rubio's hypocrisy

From CNN:

Loved her comment about how these assholes change their stances whenever it suits them. She's not holding back.

Is there a web site that keeps track of who in Congress

has introduced or sponsored bills?

Just curious as to what the Republicans have been doing all this time besides kvetching.

HuffPost: Penguins get confused too

From HuffPost:

Have trouble telling penguins apart?

You’re not alone: Apparently, penguins can get just as confused as us, as this video from the Falkland Islands shows:

Question about GOPers on House or Senate floor

The MSM seems to focus on their whining, making dumb comments, and bashing Democrats, but I rarely hear anything about them making a case for their stances, aside from McConnell.

I've tried reading the Congressional Record to find out, but practically fell asleep. So, for you folks who follow this closely (and I know this is a very generalized question), do these people actually make cases for their issues?

I don't think hannity and carlson are necessarily playing to RWNJs.

It occurred to me a few days ago: they are actually playing to people who are angry at the world and want something to be angry about; to people who distrust other people; to people who feel entitled and are afraid of losing their entitlement; to racists.

Hitler took an ancient symbol -- the swastika -- and turned it into a unifying visual device for people who distrusted the current government and wanted something different. I think what h and c (and Fox itself) are doing is just the opposite: they created a symbol (the Democrats) to get these people unified and pissed off. And, because the media is all about making money, they keep giving them stuff to piss them off so they keep coming back and watching the commercials.

The funny thing is that RWNJs in power or "high up" in business or government probably don't watch Fox. They're too busy making money. They just rely on "the masses" to stay pissed off at the Democrats so they will vote for the Republicans.

Maybe it's a weird idea, but I think it makes sense in a twisted way.

Can we please stop saying its name for the rest of the day?

I know we're all major excited to see it go, but it would sure be nice to not see its name here for the rest of the day.

My fantasy about donnie's last day.

If the plane hasn't landed in FL by the time Biden's sworn in, they re-route it to Gitmo.
