To think that we grew up referring to the French as the classic “surrender monkeys”...

The Senate GOP put the French to shame with this groveling surrender to our communist rulers...

To make it worse, even here on FR Freepers keep referring to the “Dems/Democrats/etc”...
It was ...”Biden, communists prevailing”...
The democrat party no longer exists...
Sort of like if the Russians, in 1922, had referred to the Trotskyites & Bolsheviks as Royals...

and some of those increments have been a little bigger than others, unfortunately.

(underlines mine) The measure follows five earlier ones totaling about $4 trillion that Congress has enacted since last spring and comes amid signs of a potential turnaround

This has nothing, nada, to do with the Senate GOP, they simply don’t have the votes. Can you count?

Its the stupid Georgia voters who listened to Lin Wood and stayed home.. and Trump starting a GOP civil war in Georgia in the middle of the runoff campaign.

Nowadays, you speak up, you take a selfie as you walk through the Capitol on 06Jan, you swipe you Bank of America credit card anywhere in the vicinity of DC on 06Jan and you have the feds knocking on your door. You’re taken out. The guy that had a picture of himself sitting in Pelosi’s chair isn’t even getting bond.

When Antifa and BLM did two BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE last year and murdered dozens of people, they were bailed out of jail within hours. Our side broke ONE WINDOW and damaged ONE door. And an unarmed conservative women was killed by a capitol policeman. And which group is presented as monsters?

the punch line is that the surrender monkeys who blew the runoff are still blaming the rinos — who turned out for the election.

I’m no fan of rinos, but they didn’t lose the senate; the fire breathing, self important traitors cost us the senate. those that hung on every drunken syllable that spilled out of lin wood’s retarded twitter feed.

but they refuse to take responsibility for the results of their actions.

Yup. Absolutely amazing. And worse yet, our Republican elected representatives cow to Pelosi and the media and allow it to happen.

And what was the response of our brave GOP controlled Senate to that? They emerged from hiding under their desks for months to snivelingly offer the cancelation of Columbus day to mollify the mob of murderous Democrats. Never forget. Never forgive.
