The GQP has weaponized COVID.

This deadly virus is being used to create a public health disaster of catastrophic proportions, right under our very noses in plain sight, up to and including knowingly sacrificing the lives of unvaccinated, innocent children. EVERY single GQP that is not actively working to stop this crime against humanity is complicit, as well as perversely derelict in their duty to protect, defend, and advocate for and on behalf of the best interests of their constituents.

Using a pandemic to kill and maim Americans in a sick effort to pin this disaster on Joe Biden's coat lapel is the most obscenely cynical and dangerous political strategy ever. I am horrified and concerned for our country like never before.

How on Earth are criminal charges not being pressed and arrests not being made of every GQP participating in this evil? They should all be kicked out of Congress, or whatever office they hold-- right down to fucking dogcatcher!!‐‐ and face criminal prosecutions.

As long as it’s other people who die they’re fine with it.

I’ve lost so much respect for some of my fellow Americans since Trump took office. It really pains me to say this.

Unfortunately, if their plan to STEAL elections succeeds, by enacting voter suppression legislation in multiple critical states, they will be exactly right.

GQP has become the party of anarchy and death. They no longer believe in the promise of American democracy. So if they will not uphold and protect our Constitution, and they are not acting to prevent the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, why are they allowed to remain in office? Is this not dereliction of duty? Criminal negligence?

The GOP consists of ruthless sociopaths who will stop at nothing to gain power and wealth.

They remain in office by cheating and spewing propaganda that preys on human anger, fear, ignorance.

I agree, their leadership is criminal negligence at the very least. A total abrogation of leadership on a criminal level.
They have successfully torn apart our democracy and the social fabric of our country.

and statistically significant because it can be proven that death rates are higher for the unvaccinated, and outcomes worse as well.

Of course anti-science will simply become anti-math.

... but to something along the lines of the Reichstag Fire and getting the minority to control the majority.

I can't put my fingers on "it" but I smell a power play here.

Either Ari Melber (or Gene Robinson) got it out of one of the GOP aides that they "just wanted to make Biden look bad."

I do agree that this is something altogether different this time. They have crossed the rubicon. I just do not understand why this is not grounds for expulsion and prosecution. I would love some of our lawyer minds to weigh in.
