Then suddenly he went all in for Trump.

There must be some skeleton in that closet. We need to start digging for dirt like ReTHUGs.

force, along with the DOJ and state jurisdictions to investigate and bring any charges from those investigations to trump, and associates for any crimes committed.

More importantly, if another month goes by, and it appears that enough republicans in the Senate have no intention of working with Democrats, the Senate must remove the filibuster.

The clock is running, and we only have 2 years to insure that the important issues the Democrats are fighting for gets implemented before the next election

Mitch's plan is to obstruct everything and then in 2022 claim "See - those nasty Dems didn't get anything done!" He wants to get the House and Senate back in Republican hands so he can screw over the American public. Good grief! How does he sleep at night??

But if McCarthy & McConnell give lip service only to cooperation then it's gloves off and our legislators need to press forward and give no quarter to obstructionism.

Too much to do. Too many lives on the line.

I'm still bowled over by the gall of McCarthy (during the gift exchange) telling the newly installed President and Vice President that he 'was proud of them.'

Really? Siding with the sedition caucus is a strange way of showing it.

These people are not reliable partners.

The conundrum is that they cannot mount a worthy opposition to the Democrats if they apologize for the damage to democracy and denounced the craziness foundation that they have built this party on.
Fox and friends crew are still trying to come to grips with their racism and are hurt that President Joe said the words “white supremacy” in his inauguration speech, as if Joe was pointing right at them.
We are a long way from unity.
