22. They're not only organized, they're identifying the Nazis to take over on Day 1.

What I find terrifying is idiot Tuberville’s hold on 409 military appointments. Not only is he damaging our national security now, he is also trying to hold these positions open for a Trump presidency so Trump can appoint the most right-wing sycophantic military candidates, like Mike Flynn, who will be willing to use the military however Trump wants, including staying in power for life and then handing the presidency to one of his kids. Republicans in the Senate have to know that this is what he is doing, but they don’t want to change an archaic rule to stop him.

Republicans could have prevented all this back in 2021 simply by convicting Trump in the January 6 impeachment trial and barring him from holding future office,,but they refused to obey the law, uphold the Constitution, and support the country. That is unforgivable in my mind. Those who voted not to convict are traitors to the country.
