Hark! Look anon! There lies a steaming cow pie in the Meadows.😑

louisbridgeman.bsky.social•512 days ago

Mark Meadows is as genuine, earnest, and devoid of artifice as a used car salesman in a flood zone who moonlights as a gameshow host selling Amway as his side hustle.😑

Vindicating Jaime Herrera Beutler's account!

nycsouthpaw.bsky.social•512 days ago

Remember when the Senate voted to call witnesses about this in the impeachment trial, but then they scrubbed that plan because Chris Coons had to get home for Valentines Day?

cavskermit.bsky.social•512 days ago

That's not why they scrubbed the plan.

This is Coons so you just have to envision the most rodent-like and ineffectual way to proceed with any given thing possible and there you will find him busily scurrying around

aristofontes.bsky.social•512 days ago

rodent-like, ineffectual, and lucrative to one or more large corporations

cavskermit.bsky.social•512 days ago

This is giving Coons way, way too much credit. Republicans threatened to filibuster every bill in the first 100 days, the parties stipulated that conversation happened, and the general message sent back from Rs was they had as many guilty votes as they were getting.

cavskermit.bsky.social•512 days ago

Trump wasn't convicted because they didn't want to split the party. They still don't. It's why Emmer had to withdraw.

ginguy.bsky.social•512 days ago

Also didn't McConnell refuse to seat the new Congress without certain concessions around this time, too?

cavskermit.bsky.social•512 days ago

Yes, it was insane. They threatened to keep members off the floor so there would be no quorum.

scarfface.bsky.social•512 days ago

dude can't help it if he's a hopeless romantic.

hydrogeo.bsky.social•512 days ago

I’m don’t, but from here on the outside there seems to be a lot of hiding and obfuscating coming from one side of this whole J6 situation. Curious that.

Remember when Chuck Schumer agreed to confirm like ten McConnell judges so Claire McCaskill could have an extra weekend to campaign in Missouri

georgegeef.bsky.social•512 days ago

and she lost anyway to the most unlikable guy the state has produced since john ashcroft after trying to outflank him on immigration

georgegeef.bsky.social•512 days ago

she was the worst, dude

rincewind.run•512 days ago

of all the many infuriating details about the Jan 6 impeachment, that's the one that makes me the angriest

fuck chris coons forever

mrbowlman.bsky.social•512 days ago

My guess was they had a couple Republicans on side for impeachment, but not drawing it out with witnesses, and were caught off guard when the witness vote passed and had to walk it back.

bccoyne.bsky.social•512 days ago

How very Mob boss-like of him . . .

erikgunderson.bsky.social•512 days ago

There is no bottom with this guy.

crewless.bsky.social•512 days ago

Nice to get more confirmation of something we all know was true.
