Rachel Maddow June 21 2021 -- Who We're Up Against

Rachel's story is the latest reminder to

remind Sinemanchin and Ten Other Republicans That, Fan Voters or No, What Lies Ahead For Them Is Even More Taint From This Kind of Grift Stupidity. Ask If Their Donors' Money Is Worth That.

"Meadows Pressed Justice Department to Investigate Election Fraud Claims"
"that included a fantastical theory that people in Italy had used military technology and satellites to remotely tamper with voting machines in the United States."


The grift of trump remnants and their donors has always been solely performative governance of a republic that never arrives, never lands, never delivers, always takes, where no one's coming but is always on the move for freedom, and when you knock on their doors, the lights are on and no one's there.

and the most heralded political opinion makers'" job to "get" the news you want? How about complaining to the actual doers or non-doers -- Congress -- and not the messengers; and not even the makers of political opinion.

I don't get how you understand news and info. Messengers only convey content. They don't generate it. There's certainly so much to be done that you can't get all topics here all the time. You get that, right? But you know you CAN get the latest yourself.

This gives history and current context and usually keeps up with major events.

now, it is buried under piles of bs regarding voting rights, infrastructure, and the filibuster fight and most of that coverage is designed to present the Democratic as split and the Republicans as heroic in their blocking.
