GOP is blaming Biden for the lack of leadership during this crisis.

they are... I saw their tweets.. topsy turvey time.




What on earth is wrong with
@GOP
? They’re literally blaming Joe Biden for the lack of leadership we’ve witnessed this weekend? Why isn’t anyone holding the actual President accountable for his lack of response? Am I going insane?

You mean that guy who actually went down to speak to the protesters in Wilmington Delaware? The guy who spoke to George Floyd's family with compassion? That guy? Yeah, I thought so.

Biden needs to take advantage of this I think.

Trump is leaving a void in leadership that is big enough to drive a truck through and Biden needs to step in and fill it. I think he should hold a primetime address himself. I bet right now every network would carry it. He needs to deliver the empathy that is his greatest strength. Make people forget for a minute that Trump is even president and give them a glimpse of what we could have with a Biden Administration.

This is a flashpoint, take control of it.

Did I hit my head and somehow miss something big transpiring? Has the Senate also been turned blue during my apparently extensive slumber?

Have pence resign, trump name him as VP, If the gop can get the senate on board, I'm sure Nancy can speed it through the House. We could get it done by tomorrow.

Oh, you mean they're not serious, they're just being a bunch of whiny jackasses? Yeah, that sounds about right...

I hope I didn't wake the neighbors. Truly, they are scraping the bottom of the outhouse to even think about blaming Biden for their own glaring incompetence.

If the republicans are accusing someone of anything at all, it is because they, themselves, are totally and solely guilty of whatever it is they are accusing .

"I appreciate it that Republicans finally admit that they have been exercising no leadership at the moment--indeed that they HAVE no leadership at the moment--, but I'm afraid I haven't yet taken the office of President yet, so let them save their blaming me for AFTER the inauguration!"

Three out of the last five presidential elections were "won" as "surprise Republican upsets" due to electoral fraud. There is a reason they yell so loudly that they have to act to prevent it. They know far better than we do what they are talking about. Nixon's "revenge" for his defeat in 1960 was a "dirty tricks team" in 1968 to pull anything they could get away with to win the 1968 election for him. Republicans have used increasingly bold tactics to steal elections in which the people stated that the Republicans were not wanted. Their version of legality is that winning meant it was legal. The schoolyard bully grew into adulthood.

(thanks, David Allan Coe and Johnny Paycheck)

Lying, deceiving and throwing shade is all they have left. Trump has hollowed them all out to just empty shells.
