I wonder how much taxpayers paid for those cute little paddles. My guess: 20 million easily.

"They are not taking back the house with these visuals,”

Not only are they not "taking back the House," but those stunts might lose them another 20 or 30 seats.

SCOTUS forced President Trump to pay for those paddles. Judge Roberts thinks they are just divine!
