What Repub voters want: pissing on the media and blindly defending the president.

‘That’s What Being a Republican Has Come To’


The Los Angeles Times reports there’s “no sign that the GOP-controlled Senate, where 67 votes are required to remove the president from office, is about to turn on Trump.”

Said one senior Senate GOP aide: “At this point, Trump could be caught walking out of a Federal Reserve bank with two giant sacks of money in his hands and no Republican would vote to impeach him for grand larceny.”

The aide added: “Our voters want two things from their congressmen: pissing on the media and blindly defending the president. That’s what being a Republican has come to.”

mostly football talk but we have an off topic section where all these right wingers spout their bs. I usually just don’t bother with it but lately I am just spamming the thing with all this news. Loving it!
