So no Rep could be so bad, maybe even no combination of Reps could be so bad or so worthless, that Dems could come out on top in the elections of Nov?
Too harsh?

But damn, gas and food prices are really high, doesn't Biden have a switch in his office to fix it. He gets all of the blame, why doesn't he just use it? It's not like there is inflation happening all around the world, too. Oh, wait a minute, there is? Must be Biden's fault for that, too.
There is some agreement we dumped too much money into the economy. For some time Larry Summers has said the rescue plan was too big.

The right-wing heads would have all exploded in unison. You have to give Jared credit, though. He certainly took advantage of the influence for his gain; $2Bn worth of income. But really, let's focus on what's essential—things like Hunter's laptop, Hillary's emails, and Benghazi.
There will always be people ready to claim Hunter has the Nepotism angle covered. I would not give Hunter a lot of trust in my administration.

Should Trump have pre-empted national TV the minute the rioting started asking for peace? Could he have? Would that have stopped all the finger pointing? Hell no, it wouldnt have.....They would have just kept claiming he incited it on purpose anyway and was just covering his ass lol

The hearings on Jan 6th are yet another case of kabuki theater just like the impeachment was......political assassination with a lot of grandstanding, twisting events interspersed with straight up lies with just enough truths throughout to suck in as many suffering from cognitive dissonance as possible.....
The stuff you are claiming Trump said does not matter, at all. What matters NOW are the hearings. Now some smart ass claimed the hearings are supposed to have both parties. You will learn that is not NOW the case. You'll catch on.

Say It Isn't Joe

We need a few million cars with that bumper sticker, Say It Isn't Joe.

And every gas pump needs a cartoon of Joe next to the price with a ballon of him saying, "I Did This! And Green Power Pays!

More evidence of the sense of humor right of center people have!

Additionally, the GOP leadership favored an independent commision to investigate January 6th as did the Democrats but the same GOP leadership reneged on it. Maybe now Mel will catch on...
How can ya not read the forum? It has a person just as smart as two, no three, burnt sticks asking when I will catch on!!
Oh yeah, "the committee has two representatives..."
Rod, you are a dummy.

Of course, Mel overlooks that entirely as well as the GOP reneging on appointing an independent commission in the first place. Leave it to Mel to omit the salient points and fixate on whatever he thinks he's trying to say. Talk about a dummy!...
Yeah, everybody admits the Dems have broken their backs bending over backwards to be fair. There really hasn't been a way this "hearing" could have been made up to be even a bit more fair to Repubs. Just ask Rod!
Back to the burnt sticks, he loves to ask, "whatever he thinks he is trying to say." And when he does get challenged he likes to repeat what has been said. Gotta type something!

Really, you think it is, up to the DOJ and AG in Georgia and judge and jury?
OK!
