Mock trials, yelling lies, fear mongering, more lies, more screaming, more false accusations, fear fear fear. Really this is as bad as I've ever seen in my lifetime. What the fuck has gone wrong with Republicans to make them so demented and despicable? Were the dropped on their heads, unloved by their mothers, wedgied too much in high school?
