@MeidasTouch I’m so tired of being held hostage by the GOP temper tantrums. I honestly believe that if average GOP voters that we all visit on thanksgiving were made to feel like they didn’t get to both support the party of treason, even if they stayed home on Jan 6 or “ I don’t even like trump,” and be welcome at our homes like they are normal people, we would see the end to this. We need a SOCIAL and intrapersonal consequence for remaining silent and voting GOP.

@MeidasTouch I got a chill when I read something about politics that sent a flash into me that Magats might be planning to assassinate the Pres & Vice Pres, thus making Speaker the Pres. It would explain why electing Speaker was such an ordeal and why some floated around the idea that Trump could be elected Speaker

I have no knowledge of any real plan. The thought just popped into me and I shuddered

Did a CPAC Banner Say, 'We Are All Domestic Terrorists'?

Another banner at the same conservative conference warned, "You're Next: The Rise of the Democrat Gulag."
