Like these trump toadies could even have the mental capacity to rationalize why over 600 witnesses (out of 1,000 witnesses interviewed) were themselves Republicans! pffffft.
If Johnson doesn't refuse to seat these three, they'll be the most badass shredders of these fabricators of their alternative reality. If Johnson refuses, then the fakers will have to contend with Jamie Raskin, who will at every single hearing proceed to eat their lunch.

There were Republicans on the select committee, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger who both failed to be re-elected along with 8 out of 10 Republican House members who voted yes on impeachment. And the thing is most of those who testified were Republicans. The results are in, what do they hope to accomplish at this late date?? Another Republican waste of time and money.

(41,903 posts)I believe him. This isn't about distraction or wasting time. This is the Big Lie redux, only this time, a national voter suppression in advance of the election, to scare any non-white citizens from voting, and just stay home. Remember the "minders" near voting places in 2020? With ICE it will be that on steroids.
OTOH, so far, given the special election turnouts, it just might have the opposite effect.
