Look at what we're talking about. Can we sink any lower?

We are talking about the deep, years long involvement of a current sitting US president with a sex trafficking pedophile. We are talking about a highly suspicious suicide he committed while in the custody of the Justice Department under Trump's authority during his first Presidency.

We are talking about yet another prosecutable case that the Biden administration wouldn't prosecute because they didn't want to "look political." Or, more plausible, because he appointed an attorney general who was an incompetent boob. This just goes around and around and around

One of our allies is covering something up by bombing its most vulnerable neighbors out of their homes, while another of our allies as been under an unjustified and wholly aggressive attack because it wants to live free like we do. And through all of that, our politicians are talking about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. And while we have Democrats making angry speeches and statements to the press, and making sure their re-election fundraising appeals go out on a regular basis, and Republicans wallowing in their own incompetence, nothing of significance or importance is getting done. And it won't.

Mitch McConnell has been a huge thorn in the side of Democrats ever since he was first elected to an office he corruptly and deviously held on to for decades. He is a horrible politician, when it comes to achieving anything useful, but he is a corrupt and devious game player who successfully used what power he had, especially when his party was in the minority, to frustrate Democrats and force them to acquiesce. So where's our Mitch McConnell?

We should play his self righteous rant from then. In fact, we should play it every day.

Of seeing the world in a way which Trump rendered obsolete.

8. It won't be Trump and his clown show cabinet, or the pitifully and painfully stupid JD Vance.

It will be the leadership behind the Christian nationalist Project 2025. They are just using Trump to dismantle the government and get things in position for them to take over. The Supreme Court has already cashed their check.

The passage of the GENIUS Act in a bipartisan win for the tyrant.

It appears as if the next charge will be led by Gabbard.

You could hand Putin the entire country of Ukraine, and he would still want more.
Same with Trump and his pals.

by declaring for president again, instead of prosecuting the hell out of him.

A supreme disappointment. Probably a closet republican.

they embraced him, elevated him, venerated him.

Thereby showing us all who they really are, and revealing that "republicon family values" are a crock of PR crap
