    Mitch McConnell finally said it out loud…..

    He must know something, and I think that something is happening and is going to break soon.

    Yeah, the end is starting to show it's ugly head. It's been a long time coming.

    Nice to see not all republicans have sold their soul to the Trump cult yet. I really don’t see him winning again. He is way too divisive. He has a small rabidly loyal following, but everyone else despises him. His following is obnoxiously loud though, making it seem bigger than it really is.

    However, Biden is worthless as well. Hopefully we can get some better choices in 2024.

    When Mitch McConnell is the voice of truth in your party it indicates a post-fact based cult has taken it over.

    it's good to see a republican embrace the truth for a change, but how long will it last

    McConnell said this the day of or after the Capitol riot and then tucked tail and voted against impeachment. He'll wake up tomorrow and say something different. That's who he is - A lion with no courage.

    I only hope this drags on another 3 yrs.
    I am not fan of dems in any way shape or form. But the R's have become traitors under the 2x impeached.

    I posted in another thread, maybe, but doubtful, a 3rd party can rise out of this.

    Those that believe THE BIG LIE of a stolen election is still pretty high. 40%. That's a majority of Rs and some indies.

    ...
    More than 40% of Americans still do not believe that Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 presidential election despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud, according to a new Axios-Momentive poll.

    IMO the fact he tore up presidential docs and stole some could be a serious problem for the 2x impeached.
    But time will tell.

    How many stolen documents has he sold or tried to sell?

    As we learned from righties, tearing up presidential documents is a crime...but I'm sure one of them will explain to us the presidential records act doesn't apply to the president.

    Righties will avoid this thread like the plague.
    They now know their lying 2X impeached incumbent loser is going to lose from more from here on out.

    As they used to say, SO MUCH WINNING!!!!

    The FBI said there was no insurrection. McConnel doesn't like Trump and doesn't want him to have clout.

    Whatever you think of Trump, America 1st is a truth that must prevail. There are others that will take up the banner hopefully. Close our borders, get the crack pipes back off our streets, stop deals with the Cartels. and become oil independent once again!

    Congress wants 1/6 to live in infamy so as to get the people distracted from its own routine political failures. The masses simply must be distracted by their failure to address social issues.

    Mitch was NEVER happy about what happened. He voted against impeachment and then said it was up to the courts and I got the distinct impression Mitch thought that if Trump had been impeached then he would not have faced court

    Mitch, and most republicans have no backbone.

    It was a fiery but mostly peaceful protest of no consequence.
