Republican Watch

People who say "Democrats are as bad as Republicans" are almost as bad as Republicans.

He could have stood there, declared he was Judy Garland, done a strip-tease and then skipped out the Senate chamber and they'd have still let his scumbag client off though.

Probably would have gotten more votes for that.

He's a personal injury lawyer, which informs me how deep they had to go to find someone even willing to work with Trump. That even while it would be a high profile job, perhaps to help make a name of themselves. Someone who successfully worked an impeachment trial should have a positive effect on their career, and maybe it will for this lawyer. I'm a bit skeptical on that though. :lol: :crazy:

I don't necessarily agree that the lawyer should have been targeted, sure I thought he was a fuckwit and seemed to lie more than once but he was doing his job [that he probably won't get paid for]. I think if people want to do such things their ire is better pointed at the craven senators that voted to acquit based on a wilful misrepresentation of the constitution?

As to other consequences; Russian Ron and Leningrad Lindsey appear to publicly criticise Moscow Mitch.

Key GOP senators remind McConnell that shielding Trump isn't enough

A month later, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) adopted a similar approach, voting against convicting Trump in his impeachment trial, but delivering floor remarks denouncing the former president's obvious wrongdoing. As TPM noted, McConnell is facing similar intra-party pushback.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) took aim at Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday for scolding former President Trump for inciting the mob behind the deadly Capitol insurrection last month. Despite McConnell's vote to acquit Trump, Johnson took offense to the Senate minority leader's "scathing" Senate floor speech — much like fellow Trump loyalist Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) did during an interview on "Fox News Sunday."

Graham got the ball rolling the day after McConnell's comments, complaining to Fox News that the Senate GOP leader simply wasn't partisan enough for Graham's liking.

"I think Sen. McConnell's speech, he got a load off his chest, obviously, but unfortunately he put a load on the back of Republicans," Graham said. "That speech you will see in 2022 campaigns."

The lead for the GOP is on the balance right now.

No. And then he threw his daughters under the bus, saying it was because of them he left.

Terrible mistreatment of an animal, but at the end of the day, it is a dog owned by Ted Cruz.

Unjustifiable, but when push comes to shove, their father is Ted Cruz.

He didn't though. Nothing he did contributed to Trump being acquitted. Trump's defense team could have jerked each other off on the senate floor and you would have had the same result.

I don't know, I watch as few Newsmax clips as I can. Sometimes it's necessary, when they're a subject, and they're embedded in another video.

Mr Pillow freak is being sued for 1.3billion.
Schadenfruede. :excited: His success story goes from (allegedley) recovering crack addiction to being a sociopath sued into bankruptcy. I wouldn't cry if the lawsuit is successful.

They were hoping for an insane scandal every day like with Trump. Unfortunately, this is the best they can come up with. Fortunately, their audience is so brain dead that this counts as deep, hard-hitting news that sticks it to the libs.

I wish they were going to get anything like what they’re suing for, but the process should be entertaining anyway. Dominion is unlikely to take a settlement, so we’re going to have a very public showing of just how truly insane the MyFiller guy is.

Hopefully he'll come up with the same excuse as the others : "But Trump told me !". That should be fun.

And there is at least some truth to their blaming Trump.
In case a reader thinks we're being unfair to the pill..ow pusher, this mini-documentary outlines how consequential some of his lies could be. He needs to be kept miles away from any politician's ear.
