Sen.Hawley shows again his ambition knows no bounds. He allies with seditionists who stormed the Capitol, hunted members and wanted to hang the VP. Now he defends those who threaten the life and families of people on local school boards.

spineless Gov. Abbott of Texas - which Trump won - wants an audit of counties that he didn’t. The anti-Trumpers (Romney, Collins, etc.) are mute and refuse to help protect voting. If another attempt at an insurrection occurs, which seems likely, their silence and../2

Democrats are crowing, even laughing about the Trump-driven Ariz. report that shows Biden actually got more votes. It will be a fleeting victory. Repub states are continuing the fraud. (Pa. Repubs have taken a page out or Orwell.) Always at Trump’s beck and call, the servile../1

@swin24 Deadline USA. 1952 with Bogart as a crusading editor of a NYC paper going down the tubes. And who wouldn’t want to work for a paper owned by Ethel Barrymore?

You have got to kidding. To Republicans, this is like a high fastball over the plate to a home run hitter. Can the White House really be this clueless? https://t.co/jXreqIWXMN
