He called for Russia to hack Hillary's computer. He called for his mob to hang Mike Pence. Now he's telling Iran they can kill 15 million Americans and he'd be fine with it. Have we reached the point where the GOP will stand up to him? Nope.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

I know Tennessee Williams was from Mississippi, but if he were still alive, he'd say Senator Foghorn Leghorn & his fellow Louisiana reps Mike Johnson & Steve Scalise reek of the "powerful & obnoxious odor of mendacity". Are the people who voted for them truly hateful or just gullible? Maybe both.
