4. Guh...AYFKM?!?

It is the fucking Twilight Zone...This is not how Government is supposed to work...


so wtf do we fcking DO?

I'm practically paralyzed at the same time from the sheer audacity of it all
guess that's their plan


stun us into stasis




I seriously fear for my country right about now

5. Honest question: is she stupid or lying? And I don't intend this to be mean

I honestly don’t. She seems well intentioned.

But is she... kind of stupid? Because she doesn’t seem like the kind of Republican who would choose this hill to die (or to kill her reputation) on.

I’m 100% serious.

6. They are all lying. This was a set-up from the beginning. The repubs knew what

they were getting, which is the only reason they agreed to an FBI "investigation".

7. I would absolutely agree about that, but she's pro choice

And very open about that, so it’s not something she tries to hide from her constituents.
So why would she fall for his BS when her natural inclination would, or should, be to be very suspicious? I simply do not understand her willingness to go along with such a flawed person when there is so much evidence that he is temperamentally unqualified AND as a staunch conservative will absolutely leap at the chance to repeal Roe v Wade. Is she as horrible a person as Orin Hatch or Chuck Grassley or Mitch McConnell? I wouldn’t have thought so.
I’m not disagreeing with you, I’m just puzzled.

9. Maybe she is being threatened or blackmailed.

They may have something damaging on her or a family member.

10. Yeah... I keep forgetting that RNC emails were hacked too n/t

[BigmanPigman]

8. Yes it is thorough, a thorough and complete sham!
