Another fun fact about Cruz:
If you insult his wife and family, he’ll campaign for you.
I’m just hoping that Russia caused a war in your on the Frontline tomorrow so you can take part of being what we call Manly Hood in the military hoorah.
@The Tweatles I can’t remember a Democratic president who tried to overturn an election. Or who had three wives or who went bankrupt 6 times who’s businesses ALL FAILED who’s approval rating never went above 50 % who was accused of sexual assault by 26 women who had sex with a porn star one week after his wife gave birth an paid her 130,000 to hush her who had to pay 25,000,000 to trump University VICTOMS, who’s responsible for all the DEAD from covid. Shall I go on , I can all night?
@The Tweatles Coming onto your political rivals page is brave. What’s even braver because it’s traceable is putting your wife’s glamor portrait up as your profile pic lol.
Lol perfect , spot on
Exactly 😂😂😂
As a Texan, I am embarrassed by Ted Cruz. He is a total disgrace.
I’m a Texan and I agree.
Ted Cruz is great shut up
it’s too bad you can’t recall Cruz…
what? you CAN?
Why? Explain please. Give examples, quotes where he is against his constituents, how he wronged or lied to them, etc. Explain your idiotic post or STFU!
Mitch McConnell: “Oh my god! We’ve created Frankenstein’s monster. And now we can’t kill it!”
If it wasn’t an insurrection, then why are they so worried about being investigated?
@Chase Smith Did you know that it is possible to discuss more than one thing happening in the world?
@B S THAT’S WHY YOUR CALLED B.S

GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. no brainer…….
@V for Wombat No insurrection happened that wasntnallowed
The word “insurrection” is not political propaganda, it is the name of a crime.
@Ian Burt you had Meemaws and Peepaws wandering around the lobby taking pictures. You are correct…our definitions of “danger” are very different. Have you sought treatment for your PTSD? Or your TDS?
Were you for blm burning, looting and killing? You want to compare that to the 6th? Trump asked for National Gaurd security and piglosi denied it!? Explain that smart guy!! I know you won’t, because two faced libtards can’t!
@MrYrubuggin How many Capital Police defensive perimeters did those “Meemaws and Peepaws” have to breach to get into the lobby and take their pictures?
@Ian Burt stop being disingenuous, it doesn’t impress me. How many of those barriers were opened by Capital Police and waved in? Lying about facts doesn’t help your argument.
it was at least a terrorist attack to prevent congress from its legitimate function… still a crime of the highest order.
If they thought it was a peaceful protest, why didn’t they go out into the mob? Why were they cowering on the house floor?
Any GOP representative that seemingly laughs off what happened on Jan. 6 is a traitor to their oath. As a veteran, this makes me sick.
@Cosmic Ray’s Shots into The Light i back no man or woman who’s scared to defend the constitution…..with action not words …..
@Alexander Backert …..yeah…..Trump called those that attacked the capital true Patriots. I always thought a true patriot defended the country and the American people, not a man who lost an election! What’s really disheartening is the fact that these people wanted to execute Pence, Pelosi, and others in Congress on the front lawn of the capitol!
I’m a lady vet when Ronald Reagan was commander in chief and this is an outrage ,this is so horrific ,all the traitors starting with trump !!!!
Thank you for your service, the fact that the GOP are betraying the American people’s democracy, that brave people like you fought for is beyond disgusting, you are a true patriot, they will never be that.
The year and a half before the Jan 6th insurrection lie was way worse and the vice president & dems bailed out violent criminals.
America stands with DJT & MTG.
We are siding with that because you are not very smart & we saw what happened during the election .The big lie is that Joe won the election fair & square, he can hardly think or speak.
CNN sucks & that’s being nice.
McConnell “…the GOP is the tough-on-crime party…”
Except when it comes to when you’re breaking into the U.S. Capitol trying to overthrow the government and one former criminal president.
But when he’s against something the republican leader says you have to take it as a win.even when you know hes just as bad and most of the time pure evil.
Almost the whole republican are evil its all about power and lining your own pockets and they just dont care.No sole any of them.
No, the Republican party should NOT “focus on fighting Joe Biden.” Republicans, Democrats, and Independents should focus on WORKING on behalf of Americans, who pay their salaries, not fighting. I feel for the young adults who can’t remember a time when Congress worked together for Americans.
@Michael Morningstar I don’t mind talking to somebody that has an IQ above 70 but if you did your homework you would find out your actions of your words would be in the opposite directions but I guess you don’t do your homework huh, focus on what is normal you say immature things that don’t make no sense the IQ question of the day for what reason unknown stupid comment.
All I can figure out you’ve been hanging out with Joe Biden’s son with that glass tube that’s making your mind twist and turn in the wrong direction to > Not understand reality.
@Trolling Them Softly I see you read them NOT your IQ > Hit the Floor hard.
But don’t worry when you fill your car up again it will remind you of your IQ besides everything else you purchase that’s reality of one of the biggest mistakes America done should happen and if the migrants move in next door to you and take over your neighborhood don’t forget to Pat yourself on the back.
@Ulrich Bergler I’m with you Moscow has been a obstructer his whole miserable career . Peace
💯
@George L can you name the extreme Democrats that have been elected and the extreme things they have done?
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears.”
What would George Orwell say if he actually saw Chump and the GOP today? He probably would sue them for plagiarism of his epic 1984 book and ideas. Likewise if Joseph Goebbels was still alive, no doubt he would sue FOX for infringing on the copyright of his Nazi propaganda ideas.
The fact that 70 million people did that is scary.
For a party that’s all about letting corporations do what they want, they really seems to have an issue with CORPORATE media 🙂
GOP: “I’ve seen the enemy, and they are us.” After 35 years of conservative support, I’m saddened by the current state of GOP affairs.
@D SP Mike Pence had the constitutional right to reject the electoral college votes and kick them back down to the states that is not overturning an election big difference that was all the people were asking..to Believe people were there to overthrow the government is a joke..And again i want to know why plain cloth people and capital police were removing barricades and waving people in. There are a lot of unanswered questions that are being ignored.
@Bill Kelly Pence did not have such a right. No legal scholar suggest any such authority in his ceremonial position. Those views are being disseminated specifically from Trump inner circle of supporters who do not have the legal training to be making such declarations. People like Mike Flynn initially stated the whole “confiscate the voting machines”, including by the military, and then run the election again until Trump wins. That is a contravention of the military’s domestic authority and a violation of statutes. But he doesn’t know that because he’s not a legal scholar. And this is exactly the problem with all the people in power who have coddle Trump’s delusions for their own personal gain, they are high ranking people with expertise in their own fields suggesting things in other fields in which they have no expert knowledge. And then good intentioned people like yourself believe what is being disseminated.
@Bill Kelly if Mike Pence had done what Trump wanted him to do, it would have had no legal impact YET nonetheless sent the country into a constitutional crisis because of the appearance of authority, which is what Giuliani and co knew was the goal. That then would serve only as a smoke screen for the overthrowing of the constitution. They had a name for the plan: Green Bay Sweep. But only Pence’s rewording saved US democracy, it prevented slates not certified by a state from making it to the podium.
In US history there has indeed been an instance of where a state has sent in two sets of electors to Congress, and the contested results had to be sent back by Congress to the state. But that was when the state officials themselves sent two sets of electors.
In this last cycle, the states only sent one slate each, while the other set was set up by a non-state entity. Those are the fake set of electors which have now been referred to for investigation by the DOJ.
But I digress. Those fake slates is why Pence had to reword the standard script during the counting of the electoral certificates, because they were going to send up the second fake slate of electors which were not set by the states themselves but by entities criminally purporting to be the state. The certificates of the fake slate of electors stated they were BY the state and with authority of the state, and they were signed with sworn declarations affirming that falsehood, but not in the authorized form by the states in question because the legitimate officials in those states were not behind the whole thing.
Pence then changed the wording to say that the slate of electors certified by a state must be by the state and in a form of certification authorized by the state, and in doing so he prevented the fake slates being tabled up to Congress and the constitutional crisis that would have ensued and the overthrowing of the constitution.
If any state had genuinely had two sets of electors that could’ve been sent up to the podium to Pence, those two slates would’ve been contested by Congress and sent back to the states, to do what you’re suggesting. So you got half the story correct. But the fact of the case you have wrong. Congress could only send back to the states if the states themselves had sent two sets of slates certified by the authorities of the state. But that wasn’t the case because no state had two sets of electors, some states did have a fake slate ready to be sent up to the podium but that was prevented by Pence because they were fake slates which were created to overthrow the constitution and install Trump into power after he lost the electoral college.
You’ve been DUPED FOR 35 YEARS!!! this has been coming since Nixon and his DAMN law and order strategy!!!
They just accuse the Dems of everything bad that they have done. Their victimhood knows no bounds.
I’m pretty much over the “When they go low, we go high” way of doing things. Not only should we go lower, we should preempt this. I’m not saying go violent. But I will say to defend in the same manner that it’s dished out… The Democratic responses aren’t even passively aggressive at this point.
Trump: ” McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party.”
Neither does Trump. He speaks for the new RINO Party. The Republican Party is all but defunct.
Who speaks for the Democratic Party? Doesn’t seem to be much cohesion there either
“Legitimate political discourse”. I get plenty of that from my walks with my dog.
They have lied so much, they can’t remember what they said yesterday, the day before OR what they said last week. How low can they go? It’s MIND BLOWING. I think they had too much Gazpacho ?
Calling the January 6th insurrection “Legitimate Political Discourse” is like calling the American Civil War a minor skirmish.
Stupidest thing I’ve read today!!!
All we ever hear is about their re elections . I’d love to see them do some legislating.
“Rational people don’t believe The Big Lie, but a lot of Republicans do”. Great clarification of where to find irrationality in U.S. politics.
When you’re too evil for Mitch McConnell you’ve truly accomplished something.
Umm, this is exactly the problem. The political parties should not be “attacking” each other. They should be working together to get the multitude of issues before them addressed. One party blocking anything from getting done (even when in power!) for decades now is unacceptable, it always has been and always will be.
