      Putin is reported to use intelligence agencies info to "control" ppl . I've often wondered amongst files Trump stole, they may have contained compromising info on key Republicans that Trump used to control them. After J6, key Republicans criticised Trump however later when those Republicans visited Trump at Mar a Lago, they surprisingly had a change of face.

      That is true. Like a lot of protest this one turned into a riot. Mistake no. 1. Democrats and their continuous changing of what things are and the meanings of words, changed riot into insurrection. As usual their news networks and social media friends echoed this and here is where we are today. Just think how the democrats are forcing their lives and their demands, and meanings every day on the rest of the country. They need to be voted out of office and things changed back to decency and normalcy.

    Being a leader is telling ppl what they need to hear even If it's not what they want to hear they gave trump the ticket to lie and never be held accountable

      I wonder why obama never had a LIE counter? Then Trump did, which the 22k "lies" was absurd. Then when sloppy came along, it was announced, "we are stopping the LIE count, it doesn't do any good for people".

    I totally agree with Claire. Too too bad she isn’t still in the Senate. A big loss for Missouri and the people o U.S. Totally agree with her on McConnell and Portman. Never thought McConnell was politically so great.

    And, now that Trump has been indicted 4 times, just think about how that would all be going. And McConnell's legacy, he is the ultimate coward. Someone disrespects my wife the way Trump did to McConnell's wife, that person has a big, big problem.

    Trump famously said "We're gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you'll say, 'Please, please. It's too much winning.'"
    Apparently they got sick of winning before, you know, actually winning.
