    It’s so dumb that he’s not letting her do her job, and then complains that she’s not doing her job. I’ve rarely seen someone so unapologetically despicable in my life.

        No, but Mitch McConnell certainly has.

        I feel like Johnson wins by how slimy he acts. He plays in the swamp so comfortably, and isn’t doing his job on top of that.

      The GOP has been looking for a truly empty vessel without standards to run their caucuses for decades, and each time they get a little closer. They may have succeeded at the worst possible moment with Johnson.

    Gee sure seems like a “taxation without representation” situation for those constituents in Arizona. They’re under the thumb of the federal government without any sort of representation in said government. For a group that loves to preach about the founding fathers, who even created their own “Tea Party” not long ago, they sure do love to act like the red coats.

      I urge the unrepresented citizens to act in accordance with history for such an issue.
