They are exposing a big flaw in our system. We are not holding them accountable for their actions and their decisions. We are. Here.
But out there. They chose this.
Anti-intellectual might be the kindest and least offensive adjective to describe him.
Anti-intellectual in much the same way as anti-matter
Every time I look at this dude, he looks like five giant cockroaches scrambling around inside a human suit.
So that worm in his brain might just have Cordyceps…cool cool. Stocking up on tape, vitamins, paper, scissors, and alcohol asap.
Sugar water.
Sugar water.
Do do doo do doo doo.
Sounds like he's on death's door when he speaks too. Or he's already dead and the roaches are good ventriloquists/puppeteers.
I’d assume the latter at this point. Although it’s not cockroaches, it’s fucking worms.
I thought it sounded strange when he spoke as well. Turns out he has some condition which makes it sound like that, so maybe we shouldn't point it out.
Or maybe we should - the right has nothing against playing dirty, maybe it's time to take the gloves off. Who knows.
It’s my understanding that his voice condition may very well have been caused by his heroin use.
No sympathy for ghouls.
The moral highground is utterly useless today - something the R's have learned well.
New my ass! It started with Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich in the 90s, if not even earlier!
Yes, this. It goes back even further. It's now, they are empowered and emboldened through Bullshit Mountain + "social media" platforms.
In 2016 we managed to elect a guy who was very obviously mentally defective and a career criminal. Fuck outta here with “new”.
Americans stay being aggressively anti-intellectual. It's been that way since waaaay before Trump too. We're gassing up Trump too much with this. Americans have been like this longer than I've been alive.
new era you say? did that reset after the first time trump was elected, or immediately following the second? new era, for fucks sake
Counts the number of fast and furious, transformers, and marvel movies. definitely nothing new.
New era? Pretty sure we've been living in this isocracy full force since 2008 when the deplorable morons lost their minds and went full stupid racist with the tea party.
no, trump signaled that
Last I knew he was being questioned and this article is useless. Did he actually make it through???
Not yet. The GOP is still attempting to show the correct amount of "struggle" before they all vote yes.
Gotta pick the 3 senators who are least politically vulnerable.
It was intentional
Brain worms will do that
