“The cruelty is the point.”

Exactly.

Amazing how they can’t take a win ( strong immigration bill ) yet are happy to loose.

I suspect it’s something more than hatred. They clearly have ideas (weird ones) about what they want for the country that is spectacularly out of step with most of the country. Power can corrupt and they simply don’t care. Democracy is not in their vocabulary

More like an ultra conservative right wing Christian nationalist populist party.

It's not hatred - it's complete indifference. They simply selfishly, obviously don't *care* as long as they get their own way.

I think it’s inconceivable to MOST people who believe that lies and propaganda Are Not Acceptable Behavior. Not in a 2year old OR any person in any kind of governmental /judicial/ or presidential role.

I do not know when or WHY they’ve chosen to take this fork in the Road - I JUST Want Them All AWAY from any sort of decision making , policy making, or power structure EVER Again.

McConnell flips on support of Ukraine & this border bill…WHY? Is it because he hopes they’ve gerrymandered enough of this country that HE again will be in charge of the Senate?

Let me just Remind Hawley, Cruz, McConnell, Thune, Mikey Johnson, Stefanik, the Scott Boys, Gomert, Ronna McDaniel, Greg Abbott, Comer, Blackburn ETC of the fates of the former: Yes sir, Yes Sir sycophants!

Michael Cohen, Allen Weisselberg (both jailed “for” tRump) John Bolton, Elaine Chao, Desantis, Nikki Haley, his own Vice President Pence faired after HE Turned On Them ALL.

I kept having the sane surprised reaction to the things the Republicans kept doing until it dawned on me that it was all about them staying in power, country and people be damned. They had no interest in governing or doing good for the country. I can’t name one recent piece of legislation the Republicans have passed that’s benefited the American people. I love that Biden is starting to point these things out; he needs to hammer them on Republicans letting America down, repeatedly. He’s such a decent guy and likes to be optimistic about our future, but if he’s going to win, he needs to take the gloves off.

I feel that the maga Republicans who are listening to the orange turd and acting like he is president are traitors to the country. They should be respecting President Biden who the people elected. Their actions are treasonous imo.

Yes I believe I understand why. The Mango Mussolini told them not to support Ukraine. He’s bigley mad because Zielinski wouldn't play quid pro quo with him.
