McConnell, he is a very vile man. He wanted his caucus to blame the House and the Democrats. He needs to be voted out.

He's dirty and very guilty. And he had stopped Obama's choice of placing Merrick Garland. Also said President Obama was going to be a one-term President.

He is our biggest problem.

about those very issues, and blame Dems and libs until every knuckledragger within earshot can repeat the lies by heart.

Because that's how The Big Lie works.

Our next president should recall that gentleman's early days as Voivode.
His father, Vlad The Dragon, and older brother Mircea The Bad had been murdered in rather nasty manners in the power struggle between the Voivode and Boyars.
When Vlad assumed the Wallachian throne, he innocently asked how many Voivodes the Boyars had served under. Most of them proudly stated that they had had their titles before the reign of his father. This let our merry lad know just which ones were responsible for his family's deaths.
The Boyars "experienced some things" at that year's Easter feast. The most merciful was being force-marched in chains to Poenari Birchu en Arges to serve as slave labor rebuilding the Drakula family's old fortress there.
We won't talk about the ones that had bad things happen to them.
Such tidbits of political history do give one something to think about in difficult times, and serve as reminders of past courses of action.

They are traitors, pure and simple. And we need to call them out as such every chance we get.

And traitors, literally, for enabling and covering up the crimes of Putin's asset in the White House.

I'd be surprised if some of these legal tactics don't make their way into many courtrooms rapidly. Even good judges are going to be busy.

You see the end game is all about the conservatives having their cake and eat it too. They will forget this era of stupidity just like they forgot the era of Iraq Bush. They'll pretend trump never happened--that's how they play the game--and foxnews and conservative talk radio will promote whatever Bullsh*t they put out into the media. They're not worried, not one bit. And the evangelicals will be leading the pack!! Republicans relish hypocrisy. They see it as a tool in getting what they want. DID YOU SEE ALL OF THEM IN THE SENATE COMPLETELY LIE UNDER OATH! They just took the constitution and trashed it. If trump is reelected, the constitution will no longer exist. WE HAVE TO VOTE, WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR ANY DEMOCRATIC. SO FAR OUR BIGGEST ENEMY IS US! Every progressive talk radio station, every level news station (except foxnews), have anchors pitting democrats against each other completely losing sight of our main goal--GETTING TRUMP OUT OF OFFICE! We can tolerate any of the democrats as president for 4 years as they are all way more qualified than trump. but if this infighting continues trump will get reelected.

and now all they have left is that they're the party of the ultra rich.

They're going to find that out pretty quickly on the campaign trail when they try the usual boilerplate and people laugh in their piggy faces.

you'll get what you don't want. Over and over and over again until Dems control the Senate and Presidency too.

They will acquit that piece of shit and claim that's proof he's innocent because he was acquitted of all charges.
