Worse - mainstream news media will present this as if it is normal.
And how soon they've forgotten their ongoing coverage of Hunter Biden's "corruption."
In those days though, Republicans talked about Hunter Biden nonstop.

Okay I guess we may need to gear up for a long stretch of a defunded government then, because Mike Johnson won't swear in a new Democratic rep.

Johnson used the last shutdown as an excuse not to swear in a new Dem representative. We are in a shutdown now, so we will see what happens tomorrow.

Wow. The idea that immigrants are "invaders" is anti-American but very Republican.
Bet you don't have to go back too far to find the immigrants in the families of the members of the GOP student group at U of I.
Greg Bovino's granddad was an immigrant.

So many wealthy men supported the work Jeffrey Epstein did to sex-traffic young girls. And these crimes have been covered up a very long time.
GOP Rep. Thomas Massie: “How will we know if this bill has been successful? We will know when rich men are being perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. Until then, this is still a coverup.”
