Don无毛视频檛 lock him up: Lock him down
Recently, Republicans have had cold political waters doused on their faces.
They stood by, turning their thumbs down repeatedly, while their fellow Senate Democrats unanimously passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
The only contribution Senate Republicans made to the legislation was forcing Democrats to strip a measure calling for price caps on the sale of insulin at $35, for people buying it through their non-Medicare insurance.
Good for those Republicans. They can now campaign on the fact that many Americans with diabetes won无毛视频檛 be able to get a break in their medication costs 无毛视频� thanks to them.
Besides, the new legislation doesn无毛视频檛 say a single thing about what Republicans hold dearest to their hearts.
There wasn无毛视频檛 a single sentence in it about restricting the teaching of (non-existent) Critical Race Theory to bisexual, transgender Mr. Potato Heads.
What a shame!
Republicans didn无毛视频檛 have much of a chance to run around to the Sunday morning news shows so they could cry their crocodile tears about those mean, old Democrats not letting them water down that new bill.
The following morning, all political heck broke out. (I don无毛视频檛 feel comfortable cussin无毛视频� here)
FBI agents took a tour through the bowels of Donald Trump无毛视频檚 Mar-a-Lago vaults (or something), and they walked out with 12 boxes of what might be some of聽 Trump无毛视频檚 presidential papers.
I无毛视频檓 not passing any judgment on whether there is, or whether there ain无毛视频檛 incriminating bundles of top-secret stuff.
(I don无毛视频檛 curse. But I do use poor grammar from time to time)
This is about the unnecessary Republican outrage that followed the news that Mar-a-Lago had been surrounded by G-men.
Nearly immediate outrage.
You无毛视频檇 be hard-pressed to find many Republicans who无毛视频檇 admit the events of Jan. 6, 2021, were part of an insurrection.
But remove a few boxes from under Donald Trump无毛视频檚 nose, and无毛视频�
Within hours of the word getting out (Trump put it out himself) that the FBI had arrived at Mar-a-Lago, Republicans came out of the woodwork to blame President Biden, his attorney general 无毛视频� Merrick Garland 无毛视频� and Trump无毛视频檚 FBI appointee 无毛视频� Chris Wray 无毛视频� of damaging America forever.
That couldn无毛视频檛 have been funnier.
Fox News guest Joe Concha went into a four-minute rant about the supposedly 无毛视频減artisan B.S.无毛视频� the execution of a search warrant by the FBI is 无毛视频� until he was stopped, then reminded that the director of the FBI (I said this a couple of paragraphs ago) was appointed by Donald Trump.
There was grumpy old Lou Dobbs who claimed that 无毛视频淭he FBI and the Department of Justice have ruthlessly violated the Constitution and law in America.无毛视频�
That search warrant, by all accounts, was legally obtained from a judge, and duly carried out by federal law enforcement personnel. When Dobbs made that ridiculous statement, he had no idea it could have violated the Constitution.
He was just pouting out loud.
Some folks seemed to be very serious-minded about the FBI无毛视频檚 activities that day.
That is until they opened their mouths.
Political grouch Dinesh D无毛视频橲ouza, who has a long history of throwing political hissy fits, first claimed, 无毛视频淭he Biden administration is rapidly devolving into a Third World junta. (That无毛视频檚 a rather moderate assessment for D无毛视频橲ouza). Then D无毛视频橲ouza did what D无毛视频橲ouza does 无毛视频� all the time.
无毛视频淔irst they steal the 2020 election无毛视频ξ廾悠禎
See what I mean?
He somehow found a way to stick his bogus claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election into something that had nothing to do with it.
Former Trump press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders actually sounded reasonable when she responded.
无毛视频淲hen you无毛视频檙e attacking FBI agents because you无毛视频檙e under criminal investigation, you无毛视频檙e losing,无毛视频� she said.
What may seem like she was attacking her old boss was something altogether different.
That无毛视频檚 what she said in November of 2016 about Hillary Clinton 无毛视频� just before that presidential election.
Here无毛视频檚 what she said about the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
无毛视频淚f you无毛视频檙e not yet appalled by the total abuse of power from Democrats in Washington, you无毛视频檙e not paying attention,无毛视频� she tweeted.
She无毛视频檚 as delusional as her old boss, huh?
