It'd be interesting to know which, if any, congresscritters, actually were on the take.

Collins referred to the crowd-funded pot for her challenger as a bribe. I’d wager there were quite a few rethugs who just earned their keep.

That's why they had to have Kavanaugh. He'll vote to protect them.

It's not Roe v Wade being repealed. The Republicans will never do that. It's the coming decisions protecting the Republicans from being investigated and prosecuted for money laundering, fraud, collusion with foreign governments, and other criminal activities.

Watch.

pulled her aside and gave her a sweet deal. Fuck her. They have no right to implicant Democrats in this. It had nothing to do with the Democrats. And of course tRump is singling out Democrats again were involved, he is putting out the hate. His fucking lies are going to get people killed.
