Yeah, I do not get it.
Having grown up in a redneck community, I'm quite confident Trump supporters can at least make a functional pipe bomb.
Now show "Violence by Christians."
Matches their smooth brains.
Goes back before Reagan, even. Look at Nixon. His pardon from Ford started the trend that the president was above the law.
The leader of each house is Republican, and they control what comes up for a vote. He can encourage all he wants, he has no say in the matter.
I mean, what's he supposed to do right now? Republicans still control both houses of congress (or, at least, hold enough seats to render both houses impotent). The upcoming congressional elections matter as much as (or potentially more than) the presidential election.
Two things.
One: even removing those listed senators from the supermajority, that still leaves a majority.
Two: their original comment lamented that the Democrats never even held a vote when they had control with the intent of putting their votes on the record, so that voters would know who actually supports their rights.
Yeah. I'm tired of embarrassment every time I see my state mentioned in a news headline.
Well that is scary.
Yeah, that tracks.
