Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.
A paramilitary group plotted to overthrow the Constitution then conducted a violent attack on America. They were convicted in court of seditious conspiracy, and jailed. Then the leader they aimed to illegally install got power and let them out, their records wiped clean. The Jan. 6 attackers won.
Judge Pained as He Grants Dismissal of Jan. 6 Charges Against Oath Keepers
The judge, Amit P. Mehta, blasted the administration’s request for a dismissal in the case, saying it bestowed “unearned grace” on the Oath Keepers defendants “by wiping their records clean.”

One year from now, I don’t want to hear members of Congress acting shocked about the damage Todd Blanche does as the United States Attorney General. They know exactly what they’re voting for, and they had a chance to stop it. Consider them complicit because that’s what they are
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
Biden was replenishing our stockpiles with US manufacturers using US union steel. Trump has sent tens of thousands of those jobs overseas and has crippled our supply chain with tariffs and none of our allies want to help us. Maybe we can buy our arms back from Saudi Arabia.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
Senators who vote to confirm Todd Blanche as Attorney General based on a written lie have no business making decisions for the American people. Trump and his cabinet lie to our faces daily. A written lie is no different. Todd Blanche is corrupt and loyal to no one but Donald Trump. He is unfit.
The most corrupt, unethical AG in the US history will now take office after a sham deal with retiring Republican senators. Now this lawless DOJ will run amok with Trump’s criminal defense attorney carrying out his retribution tour against the innocent while the guilty go free.
Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.
I'm almost 60. And in my lifespan there has been a definite change to the meaning of the word 'lie'. I remember hearing people often use the phrase 'unintentional lie' (or 'intentional lie'). Today 'intentional lie' is considered redundant. We moved from a philosophical to legal definition!
John Novio@johnnynovio.bsky.social · 3d agoFlawed or errors are lies, everything they did was according to trump's or one of his minion's orders. They only claim flaws or mistakes as to avoid looking intentional and with malice.
Too slow. This guy called it in 2015 or 2016, and most of our system still hasn't learned their playbook exploits the legal system's glacial pace. Jack Smith understood this but was on the sidelines until it was too late.
She has a point. Simply, the hypocrisy of these two morally impaired old, white men is appalling. They should both be in prison for their illegal actions. Period.
So Tillis and Cornyn’s position is that the slush fund and IRS immunity is disgusting, illegal, immoral, and unethical but they are willing to confirm the man who agreed to it as Attorney General of the United States as long as he takes it back.
I hope you’re sitting down for this. The shooter at the In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho that killed 3 people and injured 2 people is a Republican, white male, and prob a born again christian. I’m as shocked as you are.
She wants a civil war because Thanksgiving arguments aren’t producing enough casualties.

BREAKING: Max Miller - republican Rep from Ohio who is accused of beating his wife and child - is making an announcement on Twitter at 10 AM tomorrow. It better be his resignation.
That's weird Todd Blanche refuses to confirm in writing that his shady deal with his criminal client Trump is over, & yesterday, Capital One stated in court filings that the reason they closed 300 Trump Organization accounts in 2021 was because of money laundering I'm sure it's just a coincidence

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.
