unfounded claims, offering no evidence, wasting taxpayer's money and everyone's time.

Of course the republican lead Wisconsin legislature will take this as fact, and string this out as far as possible until someone says, "bullshit, enough" and another baseless, futile investigation will come to an end.

Republicans just love running around , chasing their tails.

When will voters say "enough" and vote these clowns out of office? There isn't one republican on this planet with a gram of honesty and integrity.

And he still owes over a million, isn't anyone keeping track of him??

But you're absolutely right, the Reoublicans bought his entire scam, is anyone surprised?? The only one who asked questions was that suspicious Democrat, but the others bought what he was selling.

Will this ridiculous rehashing ever be over?? And will any of these dupes ever learn their lesson?? Not to mention what all of this fruitless rehashing is costing the voters...

to appease that orange jackass down in Mar-ma-lardo. Why everyone is so eager to curry favor with that maniac is what I'd like to know. He certainly wouldn't reward them in any way, unless they figure a phone call from Mango Mussolini is reward enough.

I've given up trying to figure these nincompoops out. My best guess is that it truly is a cult of personality. The thing is, Trump has a personality like a rabid, crack addicted Wolverine. I guess that's what turns today's republicans on.

Have a great day, Rhiannon. I'm going to grab a few winks now. The daytime shift will be coming on soon. Take care.

This guy is not only blatantly offensive, has been since day one. But he's also frighteningly incompetent, not to mention that he disregards laws and norms with complete abandon and in 4 short years has done more damage to the rule of law, the continuity of the departments of DOJ and State, not to mention SCOTUS, alienated our traditional allies and enabled our adversaries, and tried to overthrow the government!

Back before the 2016 election, I went to a reunion with my childhood friends, the girls I went to summer camp with growing up. And though we weren't completely agreed on which candidate we'd all prefer, we have turned out to be pretty much on the same page politically. And I remember saying that I'd sooner vote for the next person who drove by than TFG - and they all agreed. And knowing what we know now, I think we'd have been better off...

Get some good rest, my friend...

... that Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger don't have a gram of honesty and integrity.

... You and Republicans agree fully that McConnell and Pence are dishonest when they say 2020 wasn't stolen and and have no integrity when they say Jan 6 was an attempted insurrection.

But it's great if you want to prejudge all members of a group.

And there are the 10 who voted to impeach tRump.

And other Republicans in and out of office who are speaking out.

So, not just "two" Republicans.

Enjoy the rest of your day, which will probably be free of any hint of criticism, so you should be very happy.

Catfishing is a deceptive activity where a person creates a fictional persona or fake identity on a social networking service, usually targeting a specific victim.[1] The practice may be used for financial gain, to compromise a victim in some way, as a way to intentionally upset a victim, or for wish fulfillment. Catfishing television shows have been produced, often featuring victims who wish to identify their catfisher. Celebrities have been targeted, which has brought press attention to catfishing practices.
