They know it, too: Chip Roy claims Britt was set up to fail
throwing a freshman Senator to the wolves by asking her to give the rebuttal knowing she had not yet given even a Senate speech & without fact-checking the speech to help protect her from making an error with an outdated anecdote & thus allow radical progressive democrats to make THAT the story rather than their dangerous, purposeful open border policies endangering Americans, that these same chamber-of-commerce GOP were complicit in creating, & then sit silently & let the world pile on Sen. Britt (whose sin is not the speech, but ever siding with fools running #SwampGOP

No Labels party moves ahead - without a candidate!
These dolts are "moving ahead" with their 2024 presidential "run" - but don't have a candidate.
In an unsurprising yet unusual maneuver, the nonpartisan group No Labels has announced a decision by a group of delegates from around the country to move forward with a 2024 presidential ticket, despite having no discernible candidates lined up.
The political logic of this two-step process is pretty simple: The idea of a bipartisan third option has always been more popular than any actual ticket. A poll from Monmouth last summer showed support for such a ticket dropping by half when specific candidates (in that case, West Virginia senator Joe Manchin and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, both No Labels leaders) were identified.

Damn right Joe Biden is mad - so am I
The feeble old man narrative fell apart and the MAGATs pivoted to angry Joe Biden. But guess what? Lots of Americans are mad - myself included.
Mad our capital was overrun and MAGATs absolve the perps.
Mad women have lost their reproductive rights.
Mad MAGATs are sitting on a bi-partisan boder bill because their Dear Leader does not approve.
Mad MAGATs withhold funding for Ukraine to fight their Uncle Pootie.
Mad MAGATs are more in love with assault weapons than school children.
And many more.
Righteous anger is strong. Blue wave coming.
