    Rep. Jamie Raskin described the incident as “the most recent in a string of increasingly flagrant abuses of power by the Trump Administration to deter congressional oversight and intimidate Members of Congress.”

    Welp, he speaks truly…

    But as with every single previous attempt at oversight by Dems I expect this one to fall as flat.

    Fucking coward knife-to-a-gunfight Dems. Sick of all of them.

    🤷‍♂️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤡 🫏 🖕 💩

        The majority of votes that were counted…

        It amazes me how people bought the story that turnout was low, when most polling locations were heaving.

            No, the conspiracy theory in 2016 and 2020 was that extra people were voting, in particular dead people and people who weren’t eligible. Specifically, Republicans were claiming that Democrats were making fraudulent votes. I’m saying that Republicans took control of vote counting and didn’t count Democrat votes.

            Furthermore there is a growing body of evidence showing that this has happened. Specifically, sworn affidavits from people claiming they voted one way, which exceed the number of votes that were recorded for that candidate. Furthermore, statistical analysis shows that it is virtually impossible for so many people to have voted for Trump at the top of the ballot but the Democrat line the rest of the way down (the US election isn’t just about the president, they lump in Congress, Senate, a bunch of judges, police, and even state law amendments into one multi-page ballot).

            So please, with all due respect, fuck off with your mindless hyperbole.
