The blue wave has turned into a tsunami

[lunatica]

Wednesday’s hearing was the first crash onto the GOP sand castle on the beach.

In all seriousness, take a moment, especially those of us who kept despairing that the Democrats weren’t doing anything, to imagine what state this country would be in without the blue wave election last year.

Like Speaker Pelosi said, “Elections have consequences.”

1. It's going to be so excellent when all of a sudden a ton of repukes announce they're not running

Sure, there's already been a few but I predict a deluge of quitters who abandon the gop altogether when they realize it's a lost cause.

2. 101 since rump was installed by putin, per an article i saw recently

5. I think I've seen signs of behind the scenes jockeying to

“rebuild” the Republican Party. Liz Cheney has come out with some very mild criticism of Trump policies with a dozen old time Republicans standing behind her. For anyone watching in expectation of such moves it definitely looks like a signal to old time Republicans. I’m sure there are more.

The trick is to watch press announcements that don’t quite fit the present situation or the screeching. They’re not talking to us in these announcements. They’re talking to what are now the moderate Republicans. Moderate only in comparison to the MAGAT driven ones. They’re the ones who were prominent during George Bush’s Administration.

4. Just heard that Republicans are going to drag out the trial

Into the next election.

Yeah, that will help, sure it will!

Carry on.

8. Yes, go ahead and drag them out. The repugs don't seem to realize that the hearings are making...

them look bad, look like they are aiding and abetting a crooked president, who is a, in the purest sense of the word, a scumbag.

6. I love creating mental images with words.

It’s one of my favorite pastimes.

A picture is worth a thousand words!! Especially if you use words to create the picture!

7. We dodged the bullet with last year's election.
