With Republicans like this is no wonder why they deserve to get their clocks cleaned in November, which I hope does NOT happen since the alternative would be HORRIBLE, but look what we have, Thune, etc etc pure garbage

Where’s vote to fund finding and eliminating the Fraudulent US Gov’t spending?

I’m tired for sending in taxes that just go to the fraudsters.

Congress are co-conspirators.

TRUE BLUE REPUBLICANS

I have NEVER been affiliated with them.

But always had NO OTHER CHOICE than to vote for them.

Then Trump came along.

He set me free.

The RINOs must feel that there is just way too much winning to be in good taste.

These assistant democrats are complete losers. American citizens were literally tortured and broken by the weaponized DOJ under Biden. They will never be made whole, but they do need to be compensated for it.

These loser RINO’s hate America almost as much as the Democrats.

If you want taxpayers making Antifa rich, that's one way to do it.

If memory serves, this was part of a settlement agreement from a potential 10 Billion dollar lawsuit ‘they spied on my campaign, two hoax impeachments, Wuhan Coup flu stolen election and targeted lawfare’ victim Trump filed against his own Swamp govt.

Maybe the next terms of surrender President and Commander in Chief Trump will offer is Senators in office from 2016-2026 having their 3 hots and a cot down in Gitmo for being coup co-conspirators.

They just need to pass a law to allow citizens to sue individuals in the fed government as individuals. No taxpayer funds for the crimes and corruption of Deep State actors.

It is time for Trump to callfor a convention to create a new political party. For all intents, the Republicans have run out the string. Enough already!
