Why is Cheney still a Republican? She is free to do what she wants. But she should no longer be part of the party.

He should say, “I hold them in contempt, there is no reason why they shouldn’t return the favor”

Corey Lewandowski knows how to handle these A-holes.

His testimony is the gold standard on how to manhandle these leftards.

It was really amazing to watch.

Because she thinks there still is a viable GOP that can win elections without Trump and his supporters.

Dick’s daughter will be proven to be quite mistaken. But until then...

Enough of this BS.

Trump and his White House had NOTHING to do with the so called Insurrection.

The people from Trump’s gathering were peaceful and weaponless. They were set up.

Everyone needs to refuse to cooperate. After the tenth or twelfth ‘so-and-so charged with contempt’ headline those few still interested will have tuned this charade out.
