I am loving how Dick Durbin is taking down the GOP outrage with cold, hard facts.

He did it with Hawley at the start, and now he’s going after Lindsey, and Lindsey is losing. his. shit. Durbin just goes on with the facts…

I chose my sigline for a reason. This is why.

If he’d had a cape he’d have swirled it. I assume you’re seeing it as a gay slur. It was a high school drama tactic slur.

Then flounced again. It has nothing to do with gays. I guess we could say Lindsey stormed off, twice!

I do not. He comes across as having a hair trigger and the odd perception that he’s tough when he seems wobbly.

what they WANT to be true... They just don't listen so I don't waste my time.. When the facts don't align with their belief they go to conspiracy theory and flat out lies.. uff..

the winds have changed direction.
The Republican Party, as well as millions of Americans are done with facts. They have taken on the Putin/ oligarch mentality.
Lies are now their truth.
Corruption is their foundation.

Because Biden did not pick his choice and they are trying to railroad,etc.

His fake tantrums make him look like a 2 year old

Durbin answer? I think Congressman Clyburn also backed Judge Childs. He is now backing you. Durbins take down of Hawley, putting him on camera was epic!

Do Rethugs have to be outraged about? That they couldn't measure up to Judge Brown if they were on stilts?

As long as Hawley and Graham get on Fox News fanning outrage, they are probably satisfied.
