1. Who would had ever thought Kevin McCarthy as a liar?

2. Remember, Rachel's guests want to sell a book,

they just chummed the water releasing the Mccarthy tape.

3. I wish it mattered

4. I agree,

Republican caught lying is like dog bites man.

6. The one thing that I love about this story is,

how many times is Kevin not going to answer calls from Trump's burner phone?

11. Doesn't seem to matter anymore, Rhiannon.

The same story will be posted a half-dozen times a day, but everyone thinks they're the first person to post it.

No one checks anymore.

12. There's always been a lot of redundancy on DU. ❤

8. And 57% of Republicans say that Jan 6th was patriotic . . .

9. They are the Putin party,

Only 2 members of the Republican party, Cheney and Kinzinger.

10. So, Moscow Mitch Claimed...

That he had 17 Repukes who'd vote with him to convict and remove tRump from office. Alright, if that's the case, based on what he said in the tapes, what the fuck happened? Why did he change his mind and vote to acquit?

My guess is that Putin/Russia must have cashed in (literally) its chips.

14. We have our own American oligarchs,

watch what happens if Elon Musk buys Twitter.

[GB_RN]

16. That Is NOT A Situation I Wish To Contemplate...

Musk doesn't need to get his hands on that. He's done wonders for the e-vehicle industry, but he's a libertarian with some crackpot ideas. He thinks that Twitter censors "conservatives", despite the evidence, and would probably let tRump back on. Yeah. No.

17. It is our oligarchs who control our politicians and media with campaign donations and advertising

dollars. We are all being manipulated to some degree or another. To change the dynamic would require a unified, mass uprising to get rid of campaign donations, Super PACs, Dark Money and the revolving door. It would require truth in news legislation and a separation of the business side from the news side in our media networks.

Not going to happen!

13. Like a mob boss trump has a power of persuasion over the Coward McCarthy

Time for a really good Lincoln Project Ad

15. Bet some people are worried.
