Raskin’s going to crap his pants. No impeachment, no interfering with the process.

Just remember, the Republicans do not have a very good track record of supporting Trump by voting in block.

We’ll see how long that lasts. People doubted his influence now, but if they want to win in 2026, they’d better line up behind him. I’m more worried about Romney in the Senate teaming with Cornyn to stop legislation.

Romney is retiring after this term.

Thank God.

After you win three Presidential elections in a row Congress-critters start to notice.

They also noticed what happened to Quislings like Liz Cheney.

The problem is that Mitch scheduled the leader pick for next week I believe, so Romney will get to pick a very unloyal to Trump leader.

With 53 in the senate and hopefully 54 then we don’t have to worry about Murkowsky and Collins-—Romney is done in Jan and being replaced.

That will only last until the new Senate is sworn in. There are at least 3 new Senators. They get a vote.

And thst is a problem to be sure- too many tds suffering rinos who Wil. Vote with democrats just to spite President Trump.

The democrats on the other hand only had a couple of folks who would buck liberal ideology from time to time, ie Sinema, Manchin, maye a couple more f4om time to time. But our side is ful, of traitors and betrayers.

Yeah, they’re going to laud him as the new McCain, as if that’s a good thing.

Yeah, the Senate is a lot harder to whip than the House. The House starts campaigning as soon as they’re into power.

Let’s hope that the tds rinos are at least smart enough to realize that they had better not betray the party if they want to keep their jobs

I hate what the liberals are making Americans go through by delaying and continuing counting ballots after all the rest of the states have finished. To me this is an assault on the American integrity voting system. I feel like they’re holding the American people hostage. This should not stand and we need to start Making California great again and get rid of all those nasty communist anti-American POS bastards once and for all! I hate that feeling of not knowing whether they will cheat to make Trump incapable of running the country along with probably more impeachments. I hate I despise this feeling it should never be put upon the American people to feel this way. Can we just give California back to Mexico and be done with it once and for all!
