So...anyone have a clue what the GOP Senate is up to with the Trump spawn?

If they are supposedly playing the total exoneration scam why have Jr. come back?

They trying to rehabilitate him?

not Mitch.

I think The Orange One thinks he has this whole thing locked down. He may be throwing Junior under the bus. Right now, I don't really care, do you?

Maybe Burr is simply fed up and wants to do right by the constitution.

Stranger things have happened.

That a few Republicans look closely at what is happening and decide to actually support the oath of office that they took.

It's stunning to me that every single Republican in the Senate still votes 100% as Mitch tells them to.

are you when "the turtle" tells you what to do? Really, how do you EVER explain to your grandchildren that he was your boss and you only did what he told you to do?

Seriously, how can you live with having sold your soul to such a shit?

May you rot in hell along with him and the rest of the IQ45 gang.

You know, sort of like Jared and his security clearances.

Or perhaps the lying is so apparent and without question now that Burr feels compelled to pursue it.
