1. Sen Ron Johnson: "What makes you think they were Trump supporters?"

[PatSeg]

10. Wow, that is whole lot of crisis actors!!!

Must have cost a fortune to hire all of them!

[Botany]

11. Trump helped to pay for the riot

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100215150469 Trump campaign paid millions to Jan. 6 Capitol riot

Trump also gave the day, the date, the time and the place for the riot.

Trump also decapitated the D.C. National Guard so they could not respond to the violence.

[PatSeg]

12. Actually, I was joking

about the fake "Trump supporters", but yes, it is evident that the Trump campaign paid millions to bring his supporters to the Capitol. Now Ron Johnson would have you believe, that many of them were impersonating MAGA people. Guess he thinks everyone is as dumb as he is.......or as compromised.

[Botany]

13. I know you were joking.

Moscow's favorite senator Ron Johnson is just gas lighting and selling lies to those
who live in a Fox News/QAnon/News Max/and so on bubble. The way I see it now
if the GOP wants to keep Trump as their leader fine they can have that millstone
around their neck. Trump's crimes will be exposed and he will be a pariah to 75%
+ of all Americas. Trump will always have his 25% base of racist dumb fucks.

[PatSeg]

14. And could Johnson be any more obvious?

I swear, they don't even try to be subtle. Might as well just wear a sign on their backs. He must be really indebted to Putin or blackmailed. Whatever it is, he can never redeem himself now. Like you say, too many of them have made choices that will be with them until the end of their pitiful lives. It's not like down the road, they can say, "I didn't know" or "I was fooled". Their character, or lack of it, has been revealed. Some bells cannot be unrung.

I guess the days of republicans playing the long game are pretty much over.

16. In 2016 Russ Feingold was @ 90 to 95% chance of winning his senate race and HRC was @ a huge ...

.... favorite to win Wisconsin too. But then Russia "jumped in" and both Trump and Johnson
"won" Wisconsin. Johnson knows that he is in the senate right now was because of Russian
rat fucking .... although Russia needed inside help (see Parscale, Manafort, Cambridge Analytica,
and so on) ..... and he is fighting to keep the truth from coming out.

Trump and the right wing are pissed off because in 2020 we got the black voted counted too.

[PatSeg]

17. I've always known

that there are people who will do anything for power or money, even accept help from our enemies, but I had no idea there would be so many and that they would be so successful. Its funny, as they are pretty much the same people who wave the flag, stand for the national anthem, and accuse Democrats of being unpatriotic.

Hard to believe this fool defeated Russ Feingold. What a loss.

[Botany]

20. Russia beat Russ Feingold not Johnson

[PatSeg]

21. Yes, true

They've done so much damage to our country and our political process.

[mitch96]

2. This guy is seriously brain damaged or just a paid political hack...nt

[2naSalit]

3. I think it's both. ...nt

[PatSeg]

9. As Brian Williams likes to say

his speech was translated from the original Russian.

[BlueStater]

4. I'm so sick of this idiot.

You can bet I’ll donating hard to whoever runs against him next year. I want his ass out.

[Blue Owl]

5. Get a brain, MoRon Johnson

[dalton99a]

6. The insurrectionists supported Biden

Clearly

[Hugin]

7. Yeah, I remember when they ran a Biden/Harris flag up on top of the Capitol.

(Note: Please, if you remember this event happening this way, push yourself away from the Qeew stream and seek professional mental health care immediately.)

[dalton99a]

8. +1. "We love you. You're very special. Thank you for supporting Joe Biden"

[lindysalsagal]

15. Rational informational exchanges are a total waste of time.

Beyond hope.

[Demsrule86]

18. Is there a point to this? Honestly, I see no reason for these hearings and I don't think it helps us

Republicans are scum and insurrectionists...but this won't change that nor will those not already convinced be convinced and the right wing jerks may gain support from some with their circus show. They don't need more publicity. We need to move forward or we will end up with the house and senate controlled by the GOP and may lose the presidency in 24.

19. I really hate to see threads about Ron Johnson

I'm so embarrassed that we are from the same state.

He used to be just a bad senator, but in the last year or so, he's become totally unhinged. And he's no longer able to engage in polite discourse. Now he just shouts at everyone.

We used to talk about Trump needing the 25th amendment because he was so unstable – I think Johnson is worse.
