TIME FOR THE FLOODGATES TO OPEN!!!

Journalists, insiders, righteous leakers, it’s time to let it rip. News shows, print and social media - don’t hold back over the weekend and the first part of next week. Talk, write, leak, spill all as if all of our lives depend on it because they do.

Of what kind of unhinged lunacy he might exhibit at the State of the Union.
I really think that is why McConnell agreed to hold off on the acquittal vote until Wednesday, to have some small restraint on Trump’s nasty victory celebration.

If his lunacy costs them their majority and/or their seats.
75% wanted witnesses, and they told 3 of every 4 citizens to fuck off.
Their choice was:
Oppose him and definitely lose a primary; support him and put your GE in doubt.

They don't care! Why is this progressively getting worse every cycle? Bush and Cheney ran free after being selected. The 2000 election was stolen and nothing done.

Courts are packed. Confidence in voting is dodgy as hell.

And now this monster? Did anyone think this clown would be elected? Not me!

THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE!

On edit: After everything, Pelosi is back to writing strongly worded letters.

Why?

It is extremely frustrating to watch these traitors wag their tails in our face.

I would love to know how Mitch has this much power. Or how any person has been granted as much power as he has.

How does that even happen in this country?

I’m pretty confident that in time we’ll find out.

Any dictator worth his salt would censor all opposition speech. This dictator is worth his bath salts so there’s no telling how cray his STFU efforts will be.

The House jumped the gun on the impeachment vote. Now anything that comes out about this won't matter because Trump will have already been "acquitted" and Dems will look like they are beating a dead horse if they keep investigating or impeach again.
