A splendid summary of GOP mendacity by Mr Takei...

Indeed.

Of course they are such moral and ethical freed zones that they actively compete to be the most mendacious person on the political field.

On planet not nazi there are times when it is healthy to move on and compromise. But when one side incites violent insurrection to try and circumvent democracy itself? And then demand compromise when they fail… brazen fascists they are. Their actions cannot be brushed aside, however much they insist they should be, because they knew exactly what they were doing when they helped incite an insurrection and then went back into the Capitol to vote to disenfranchise millions of black voters. They know they were active participants in a very real attempt to overthrow the peaceful transition of power, and thereby destroy the republic, they know, and they just don’t care. They cannot be reasoned with and they cannot be trusted, you cannot have unity with people who would watch democracy die for individual power. Unity be damned, they grew their unique brand of American fascism as part of a pact with the underbelly of society, to retain office by all means necessary, let them be forever branded with this... mendacity, fascism and bat shit cray cray in equal measure...

Mr Takei can give him a run for his money along those lines.

Sulu was the only crew member of the original series (outside of the command structure) to become commander of his own vessel! A vast intellect guided by a true human heart (meaning George Takei). Such a rare thing these days.

GOP: You're not giving into all of our demands. That's not "bipartisanship."

Charlie Brown ain't kicking their football any longer, and they don't know what to do now, other than fall back into their "If you repeat a lie enough times..." tactics. That ain't gonna work, either. Because, the whole world saw what their cult did on 1/6. The Democrats learned their lesson with these assholes, and the rest of the country is rapidly catching on, as well.

how much of "the rest of the country" is actually "catching on." We'd like to think that everybody would have seen "the crazy" long ago, but then again, they DID elect IQ45 once and 74 million wanted him again. And look at what Wyoming did to Liz Cheney - censured her for voting to impeach BunkerBoy!

We're off to a good start (Go, Joe!) but SO much more to do...

Of having control of the House the White House and the Senate, maybe Republicans will catch on that we're not who their leaders and media have told them we are, if they're far right members continue to denounce their extremely far right colleagues maybe they can give some assemblance of righting their ship, I have my doubts
