It's never ending and I'm at my fill with all that is going on. I appreciate that the Democrats are staying strong and plowing forward.

Just more intransigence from a party that continues to espouse the policies of a dictator in waiting. Johnson has spoken about false theories repeatedly as have many others in his former party, that being of Romney and Cheney. What is most absurd to me and ludicrous (a word you often use Michael and I love it!) is that this Repugnican moron would say that Pelosi would know about something that would lead to her potential injury or death. They were mostly saying that they wanted to "put a bullet in her head", no?!?

You forgot to mention that the GOP, who has been exposed as racists we knew they were, are in the grip of rabid supremacists who were radicalized by a russian asset atop the government. This transparent "I know you are but..." defense won't wash with educated people. Wholesale gaslighting will work with the already deluded but not those of us paying even moderate attention. We have immunity thanks to 5 years of a blithering idiot. When I saw her Ladyship Graham this morning professing to wanting to move on, I was struck by the eyes reading the talking point of the day...

Yes, it's telling that they all want to move on so quickly.

The Wyoming Republican party also did it when the censured Liz Cheney over the weekend. Their document announcing her censure featured the conspiracy theory that Black Lives Matter and Antifa instigated the Capitol attack and claimed that ample evidence exists and that the FBI has it. These two sites linked mention it, the first having the official document.

I'm guessing most of that segment of the party believes the election was stolen from Trump and useless to reason with.

As my Repub neighbor stated, Antifa and BLM were present at the insurrection. I cannot reason with idiotic Faux News watchers and won't waste my breath doing so. The GOP has degenerated into a party of liars, thieves, conspiracy believers, and gutless wonders. I thought we could change the world when I was a naive college student in the 60's. I never could have imagined how we'd degenerate into Trumpism, White supremacy and Qanon.

The talking points sunk in, like all the other fake news. They are in a cult of disinformation and lies.

It's concerning that so many Americans have fallen for the craziness of the GOP. Have our educational systems failed us that much? So many seem unable to think for themselves.
