I'm soooo sick of the gaslighting
I’m looking forward to this not going as planned - which seems to be the norm for the GOP these days. How wild would it be for one of their witnesses to just add “…as was directed by President Trump” after something particularly heinous? Hell, this will just keep reminding Americans of how crazy the Republicans are and it’s a presidential election year, so even without a bombshell I think this is probably going to backfire.
No matter how poorly these "hearings" go, conservatives everywhere will pretend they went perfectly in their favor. They will pretend to prove whatever absolute vile bullshit they dream up. They will pretend to all believe it.
A conservative is biologically incapable of honesty. Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. Every word.
I think they went a little overboard on the "Fake it 'till you make it" concept.
I don't know how anyone who has been paying attention at all can still be this optimistic... This will work, like these stupid fucking schemes always do, because people (particularly conservatives) are fucking stupid and incapable of rational thought.
But he said, “we still have many unanswered questions.”
About Benghazi?
Don't forget those email servers
Why even bother? Trumpzombies already believe he's innocent of anything and everything bad that has ever happened and everyone else knows Congressional Republicans are corrupt and full of shit. I guess there's a few dumbass fence sitters they might sway.
They want to rewrite history.
Publish their own narrative and call it "official" even though there already is one. Then they can claim the other is misinformation.
Fash gonna fash
Distracting from the rest of their circus.
They refused to participate in the Jan. 6 investigation and hearings four years ago. There's no way this isn't a sham, and they know it.
I think for the same reason that kids bully their classmates. Some sick power trip over getting away with blatant lies and smug satisfaction from pretending to have the moral high ground. That's what the Trumpanzees like to see. I don't believe for a second they actually think he is innocent.
Who was it that shouted, "This is because of you!"? I think it might have been AOC, but I don't recall for certain. This was as they were being evacuated on the day of.
Josh Shitface Halley put his fist in the air that morning. Fucking traitors. Fucking pieces of shit. The only unanswered question is how long before we lock them up. Unfortunately, the answer is "never."
It was secretly commies!
Good ol' McCarthyism. That'll do the trick.
When the left is peaceful the right will imagine violence to attribute to us or will attribute their own violence to us
Can't wait to hear how the destruction of American democracy and our descent into fascism is the Democrats' fault.
Has anyone come up with a word for "shocked and appalled but not the least bit surprised" yet? We really need it..
SHOCKED
Trumped.
