Dance like no one is watching.
Text & tweet like it will be read in court one day.

They think they can just continue to deny, lie, and deflect, and everything will be just fine. They've become careless in their arrogance, as if none of this will ever catch up with them.

Why is that after all these years, educated adults still act like teenagers when they text message? Once it is out there, you can't take it back!

but they're not. I'm really surprised that more republican congress members haven't sided with Liz Cheney. Evidently, even those we once called moderates, are going to side with the nut jobs.

Bullshit and bluster has taken them far, and they’ll flog that nag until it takes them no further.

When the goal is to end democracy, apologizing is not part of the playbook. Unless we jail these individuals they will do it again. In a different time in this country, we would be discussing if these individuals should be executed for their actions. I'm fine with the super-max prison in Colorado.

Bill. You couldn't get more conservative than him but Trump has a candidate to Primary him now. I believe he even supported Trump in the impeachment. You support Trump 100% or you are out.
