7 Jan 2021 and beyond - the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol

yep. still didn’t work for him.

Gee, strange that he would be so incommunicado like that.

Amen, amen, amen.

This smacks of an email server kerfuffle from not too terribly long ago. Do we get to start chanting LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! yet?


“Mitch McConnell does not speak for the Republican Party, and does not represent the views of the vast majority of its voters. He did nothing to fight for his constituents and stop the most fraudulent election in American history,” Trump said in a statement Wednesday, re-upping his lie that the 2020 election was stolen.

“If Mitch would have fought for the election, like the Democrats would have if in the same position, we would not be discussing any of the above today," Trump continued.

However, if polling is the guide, Trump crushes McConnell as the party’s spokesperson and de facto leader.

But all polling aside, the Republican Party is undergoing a long-overdue reckoning between its passionate, violent, and delusional grassroots base, represented by Trump and the RNC, and the establishment wing of the party represented by McConnell and most Senate Republicans. House Republicans have put their fate entirely in Trump’s hands.

The rift does not bode well for the GOP heading into a midterm cycle where Republicans hope to both mobilize Trump loyalists and win back the suburbs. Trumpers require the party to back the Jan. 6 as legitimate and justified, which is how they view the deadly insurrection. At the very least, suburban voters will likely need a more nuanced approach to the violence that overwhelmed the U.S. Capitol that day.

My bold.

Good! :+1:t4:


Mr. McConnell for years pushed Mr. Trump’s agenda and only rarely opposed him in public. But the message that he delivers privately now is unsparing, if debatable: Mr. Trump is losing political altitude and need not be feared in a primary, he has told Mr. Ducey in repeated phone calls, as the Senate leader’s lieutenants share polling data they argue proves it.

In conversations with senators and would-be senators, Mr. McConnell is blunt about the damage he believes Mr. Trump has done to the G.O.P., according to those who have spoken to him. Privately, he has declared he won’t let unelectable “goofballs” win Republican primaries.

History doesn’t bode well for such behind-the-scene efforts to challenge Mr. Trump, and Mr. McConnell’s hard sell is so far yielding mixed results.

McConnell: “B-b-but I never thought the leopard would eat MY face!”

Hosea 8:7

One of the worst scumbags out of the whole bunch, really…

Heh I thouught that was Lin Wood for a sec, next to ole Rude.
This person needs to meet something untimely.

I actually feel sorry for the poor leopard that gets a mouthful of …that.

Instead of a Sharknado how about a Leopardwind? (not as catchy, I know.)

Leopardcane

That is better.

Do you mean Leopard - flatulence? Cause that’s what « leopard wind » makes me think of.

You mean “I didn’t think the Leopard would sit on my face”

You left out the h

Leopard Flatulence - not bad band name.

If they’re particularly loud would it become a Def Leppard?

It really does seem to be a prophesy about Donald!

Good news:

Nonsense-he’s yielded plenty of meals!
