Republicans are such idiots. They’re like the perpetual Charlie Brown’s being told by Lucy that yes, this time, she REALLY will let him kick the ball...

PUKE
Anybody consorting with the marxist enemy within is going to be PRIMARIED.

Yet there still lots of serfs out there that actually believe the GOP will really attempt to change the direction of this unstoppable slide into permanent tyranny...
After they raise the debt ceiling into the stratosphere, perhaps they could all give themselves (and their relatives) a big fat raise.
Well stated and worth repeating. The Republicans are fools.
