    1. @Muddy Water Government Handout = $2,200,000,000,000 Tax Cut for the US’s wealthiest Americans. I wish we had that now or the government. That was the crowning GOP achievement. How embarrassing.

    2. @Bradyn Lotterman nope. We are trying to save the country, which benefits you too. What is the GOP doing?

    3. @Patrick J Mims Saving the country by shutting down everyone free speech? They are dividing the country even more. Biden is using so many executive orders, even though that makes someone a dictator according to Biden. Jobs were lost due to the keystone pipeline. Gas prices are going to go up since we get it now from Saudi Arabia. Eventually we are going to use no fossil fuels, which will cost more money than has ever been invented and will drop the global temperature by a grand total .1 degrees Celsius. Good job saving the country.

    1. Kevin McCarthy is never going to be speaker of the house, the GOP is done unless they purge the conspiracy theorists and crazies out of their party

    2. Since the election they have already filed over 100 lawsuits to try to suppress the Democratic vote. We need to nuke the filibuster and get election reform including election day as a National Holiday, and all the stuff Trump was talking about when he said “they had stuff in there that if you ever let through no republican would ever be elected again”. Redistricting has to be rewritten too, no more gerrymandering, get all dark money out, in fact, get all money except public funding out of elections. NO advertising for 10 days prior. Any lies told in the last two weeks need to be 20 year felonies. more, much more
      The majority must rule, and the GOP is NOT the majority.

  1. *It will take twenty years to fix.* Translation: We’ll have to wait twenty years until the Republican Party literally dies of old age.

    1. @Tanin Kosol Agree! Could not believe McCain picked Palin. What an incredibly dumb, ill informed and lazy person. She has achieved nothing, zero!

    2. @ralph stephan Actually, the USA needs more than two parties. Here in Europe, each country has at least 4 or 5 and they are forced to negotiate and build coalitions to govern.

    1. Straight Jacket yes, punishment beats the meds. She might then realize how evil she actually is. This Greene is filled with hatred!

    2. Yep…but dont give her homeopathic kind of meds…they are good as placebos but don’t heal a such profound psychiatry case .🤪

    3. If you favor that for her, then you must support those same things for AOC, Schumer, Pelosi, and Sanders.

    4. @Bradyn Lotterman there’s absolutely NO similarity between the people you’ve listed and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Marjorie Taylor Greene supports craziness like the accusation that a Jewish family used satellite lasers to start California’s wildfires in 2018, or that there’s an international baby eating cabal.. AOC, Schumer etc believe in universal healthcare and that the rich should pay more tax. If you’re incapable of seeing there’s a BIG difference between arguments over policy and the downright craziness of Marjorie Taylor Greene then you need the same sort of psychiatric help that she does.

    1. @Susan Teeter LOL! You’re right MTG is not dumb, she’s crazy. As someone else said, “Marjorie Taylor Greene has not met a conspiracy theory she didn’t like.” As far as it being a persona, I seriously doubt it as she was all in for the QAnon Trump cult…

    2. Greene, Boebert, Hawley, and that Hitler Youth kid all are a bunch of no-talent liars. If I were a Republican I’d be ashamed to have my brand even remotely associated with them.

    1. @peaceandllov And some people mistakenly walk around wearing tin foil hats, instead of taking their daily dose of Thorazine. I know which person I’d rather be.

    2. @Iris Hopp Thank you! If people would check the validity of their sources they wouldn’t repeat lies. If a source has to claim entertainment to avoid law suits maybe they’re spreading lies. 1st amendment cannot be used by mainstream media, otherwise they’d get a law suit for deformation of character. That’s why Fox claims entertainment or an opinion show. They shouldn’t be able to use News in their name. It’s misleading.

    1. @Bradyn Lotterman ?? Whatever you are snorting stop it for the sake of your two remaining braincells. Deflecting onto others to avoid dealing with your own problems is BS.

    2. @Seabreeze Coffee Roasters Green has said some crazy stuff. Are you happy now? Don’t pretend that AOC, Bernie, etc aren’t bad.

    3. @Bradyn Lotterman Again stop deflecting. Greene is only one crazy. When state branches are spouting the same/similar BS the Republican party has a problem.

    4. @Seabreeze Coffee Roasters I just said that Greene has her flaws, but you won’t acknowledge your own flaws.

    5. @Bradyn Lotterman Where did I state I was a Democrat? tRump will be seen in 10-20 years as an unmitigated disaster by the Republican party if it surrvives.

  2. It’s so sad how today’s republicans keep electing extreme “crazies” to office. We can focus on the crazy candidates, but they are representative of the people who vote for them.

    1. @peaceandllov Have any of them accused Republicans of being satan-worshipping pedophile cannibals? I don’t recall hearing AOC talking about any Jewish Space Lasers either… hmmmm.

    1. Not me! I like when CNN has props and slapstick humor. Cuomo and his giant q tip was the most serious I’ve ever seen CNN.They should just slap each other with cheese for the whole segment.

    1. Isn’t she great? I love her on CNN. She always has great information. I’m so glad she got her own show!!

    1. I’d gleefully watch the republican Chernobyl grade meltdown if they didn’t represent half of the legislative body trying to function while the country goes to crisis hell

  3. “There is nothing in the record of the past two years when both Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Republican Party which can lead any person to believe that those promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line – no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.”
    ― John F. Kennedy
    The GOP is indeed HitIer’s party. Trump = America’s HitIer

    1. @Rolland Russell If you mean kill as many Americans in his term, send our country back into civil war, divide the country, attack our own country, what promises has he kept?

    2. wow, what did Trump do that compares to Hitler? did he gas people? did he murder millions, did he kill all his political opponents or have propagandist media spread the lie he was the answer….a bit like Biden, he is the one leading by executive order, a dictator does that, Dems and big tech working together to cancel political opposers is exactly what Hitler did, Trump hasn’t, he just tells what he sees, like most with truth, Biden has already gone back on numerous promises and he is a pathological liar. he is a racist, a homophobe and shames fat people.
      as for calling for violence Trump not once in 4 of being president, democrats have been calling for violence and hatred towards trump for years.
      Its crazy, Americans blaming Trump for americas decades of chaos and destruction from within, yet you have the same people in government for the past 50 years

    3. @Rolland Russell Where’s the wall? Are we waiting for Mexico to pay still? 😂The Affordable Care Act is still around. Hillary is free and laughing. Did he golf less than Obama? Nope. He is a pathological liar who tried to cheat his way into another four horrific years. The only promises he kept are ones that lined his and his friends’ pockets. So, just stop. You sound sadly misinformed.

    1. @Bradyn Lotterman Why should we? Trump is an autocratic would-be dictator who uses lies and conspiracy theories to demonize minorities and his political rivals and stoke his followers to violence. Doesn’t that sound like Hitler to you?

    2. @Bradyn Lotterman If Trump’s not racist, why did he block black people from renting at his properties? Why did he call for the execution of the Central Park 5, even after they were proven innocent? Why did he say there were “very fine people on both sides” when klansmen marched in Charlottesville? If you can’t see that he’s a racist, you need new eyes.

    1. Yes you’re right, that approach may come from or be the reason he covers and analyses the electoral voting counts…
      How’s your uncle Ted doing btw.. 😂

  4. The GPO has allowed a delusional psychopath,with a “God” complex to divide friends, families, the country and even the REPUBLICAN party. How stupid are they???

  5. “Suspicion haunts a guilty mind” -William Shakespeare
    The Repugnant Party is filled with suspicion, of election fraud. Hmmmmmmmm

  6. I can’t understand why it’s still called the “Grand ” old party. They only warrant the ” Old Party “
