believe it. The repugs are going to end up killing all of us before too long, by ignoring common sense things going on around them, climate change, massive corruption in the rump admin., Putin is a friend to the US (per rump), billionaires shouldn't pay any taxes, no one should have any voting rights, and those that do, must go through hoops in order to vote, and even then when the opposing side still wins, obstruct and impede any and all of what they do.

Again, these people (repugs) are going to kill us all.

as long as they keep riding the crazy train they get supporters.

the right wing and the repukes have become a giant version of the snake eating it's tail.

they have to deny reality to keep getting right wing supporters. but even many of the right wing repuke supporters are now bailing ship because of the orange assholes insanity.

at that point either the repuke politician wakes up or doubles down because they themselves are so far down the rabbit hole that even they can no long distinguish reality from fantasy. at which point they become a parody of themselves and are only followed by the extreme cases of the right wing.

What a sick mother fucker, no compassion for those who lost children, he actually treated them as enemies. To him they are enemies.

The funny part is at the very end. You can hear someone say "Jesus Christ," I'm sure they needed a break to get out of the room after that shit shower.

Really put a crimp in his presentation not being able to just lie his way through, like he's used to. Not surprising he got so touchy. Responsibility is for other people, not the Distinguished Gentleman.
