As a veteran, it always feels weird when someone reflexively says “Thank you for your service.” Mainly that’s because I don’t feel I did a whole lot, but I understand the sentiment. To just flatly ignore someone who literally threw their body in harm’s way to save you is just reprehensible.

i’m hoping that during the elections this fall that the actions of the republicans running for office are on full display what with their treasonous behavior of January 6th and anti-abortion (as they are not pro life) stances resulting in them losing both house and senate. sadly their base doesn’t care about either.

Trump’s not competent to lead a horse to water. He can make it drink, but I don’t think the author of the adage had malt liquor in mind.

As $HERSELF puts it, “Back the Blue” is where you put the knife.

i’m angered to hear it, but honestly not surprised. it’s becoming more and more clear that MANY of the GOP lawmakers were in on the attack. it’s time to do a little House (and Senate) cleaning.

Ah yes… back the blue until they stand in the way of you trying to overthrow the government.

One might think this behaviour is a childish display of guilt. One would be wrong. These are shameless death cultists shunning a heretic.

Well, we have this article from when it happened:
House Republicans meet with Trump to discuss overturning election results

So, this isn’t news.
However, the Treason Committee did us all a favor & reminded us of it.
And, yes, the Usual Suspects are listed in the article, so, no surprise there, either.
Except for the recent news that most of the Usual Suspects listed asked for a Pardon from You Know Who, for some reason…

Both National & State level.
Not to mention a few Governors, Lt. Govs, AGs, etc.
Let’s hope the FDC hasn’t corrupted the whole system enough.
