If they think this is buying them future capital..ask yourself, who is going to remember this a year from now, let alone 4 years from now...certainly not the trump humpers that they so desperately need to win!

They want revenge for it being pointed out that Trump's election was not legitimate.

of this ridiculous charade is because certain Republican politicians want to inherit Trump‘s base. They’ll soon learn that Trump doesn’t share power.

Since Tuberville is an ignoramus, he either grandstands or becomes part of the woodwork.

mitch is (or was) all against the $2000 stimulus payments for negatively impacted Americans. And what are these thugs doing? Still moaning, ranting, and raving about a 'done' deal, where it is clear that Mr. Biden won the election, fair and square, with no cheating or the like what-so-ever.

Perhaps he's gambling on Trumpism burning out by 2024 and he'll have the Cotton lane to himself.

it because it was something they needed to do.

But since it is all bullshit, they will do it because they want to gain something.
