Some politicians save time by being corrupt before they are elected.
So anyone that dosent do exactly what trump says is an enemy and traitor now? I don’t particularly have much for or against Mitch but he basically just had to finally admit trump lost.

Pay attention Brent. This was about McConnell killing two election integrity bills while getting money from Dominion.
I've been thinking about this, and let me tie it back to Pence.
Pence has one of the biggest decisions of the year to make. Which electors does he seat, or does he defer to the States in the House to decide?
Options:
1. Seat the democrat electors. Trump loses, he loses, America loses bigtime. Yes, it protects (sort of) 'election integrity'. But it means an end to the US.
2. Seat the republican electors. Trump/Pence/USA win. Best possible outcome for the nation. But, it opens the door where any VP can pick his party's electors, with a 'good reason' or not. Yes, there is a mountain of evidence now, and it'll be 10 times bigger by that time. But it opens a can of worms and is a dangerous precedent.
3. Let the States in the House decide. Good thing is that it keeps Pence's hands 'clean'. Good for him in 2024 (assuming he follows Trump & runs then). But here is my huge concern. Yes, republicans dominate democrats in the 1-vote-per-state policy. BUT, how many of those are RINOs and never-Trumpers? How many are sold out? How many can/will be blackmailed? It opens up lots, and lots of cans of worms.
So, what's the best choice? Pence needs to spend a bunch of time in prayer and searching for this answer. But I'll make it simple: TWO. #3 is gambling and tempting fate. Option 3 defers responsibility that he should take onto others. It's a gamble. It opens things up to more corruption, and Pence (and everyone) knows what the "right" answer is (Trump wins in a landslide). Number 1 is just wrong and everyone knows it. To keep your hands clean at the cost of our nation is plain wrong.

Its who has the most money. Flipping like a pancake.
That's ok, all will come to light in the end.

More conspiracy theories here. Let me guess, a picture showed up on the internet with the caption that said ‘dominion paid off McConnell’. As far as perpetuating the voter fraud, why would any sane person continue to try. I’m glad trump had the right and got to have multiple investigations into the alleged fraud. But after no real evidence was found repeatedly it is time to give it a rest. The country has never been more divided than by this fraud of continuing to insist it was unfair, even when all the real evidence says it was accurate.

If we said the sun rises in the morning you would call it a "conspiracy theory."
Mitch got hit hard by a Trump Twitter this AM - first he slaps Camel Toes on the azz and now he's kizzing China Biding Biden's ring >>> doesn't seem to care two bits about the country - just another sell out .....
Excerpted from a HeadlineUSA post yesterday on Censored. news portal:
"McConnell and his lieutenants, including Sens. John Thune of South Dakota and Roy Blunt of Missouri, warned the senators off any Electoral College challenge, calling it dead end since any action would need sign-off by Democrats who have the House majority under Speaker Nancy Pelosi, according to one of the people familiar with Tuesday’s call.
The GOP leaders further warned senators that forcing their colleagues into a vote on Electoral College challenges would prove difficult, especially for those facing their own reelections in 2022.
No Republican senator spoke up in contradiction."
THAT not-so-subtle threat would, were I a US Senator, have me want to challenge the EC votes all the louder!

And isn’t it a shame?! He allowed money to corrupt him. But, I want ALL corrupt politicians gone!! I don’t care if there are more Republicans than Dems, I want them all gone and locked up!
The Democrats spend 4 years pushing a conspiracy theory about Russia and election fraud but that’s not considered insane or divisive? I’m so confused. They even challenged electoral votes, didn’t they?
Hey Lexi! Good to see you! Yes, they did exactly what some of the Republicans are talking about doing. Shhhh! , it is apparently a secret.
It just keeps getting "better" about Mitch being comporomised by the Chinese: https://nationalfile.com/china-mitc...s-to-bank-of-china-top-chinese-shipping-firm/
The loyalty to king trump here truly amazes me. If anyone stands up to him you all label them as a communist traitor. Sounds a lot like McCarthysm to me. Trump lied more than any president in history and you still worship the ground he walks on and believe all the crap he says.
Not even worthy of a response.

Brent, you really need to get out of the political threads. Seems to me that the majority here are of the same mindset. If you take your statement of The loyalty to king trump here truly amazes me. I am amazed you voted for Biden and still think he has more morals than Trump. . .
Your, right, I do have a different opinion than most here. It dosent make it any better or worse than any of the other opinions, just different. As far as the king trump comment, yes it does sound a bit harsh, but can you honestly say it’s any harsher than all the calls for democrats or even republicans that oppose anything trump says to be locked up or killed?
I am just in shock at how many still believe the election was fraud when there isn’t any real evidence.

I'm in agreement that the SWAMP needs to be locked up. . . It's not just Dems verses Rep. It's on both sides unfortunately. This is not about what Trump has said, but what others have done or said. . . McConnel has been tittering for me for a while now, but like so many others during this election, his true colors are coming out.

Either you haven't been paying attention or you are just lying. With what we know now, that statement makes you look even more ridiculous than Frank Drebin in Naked Gun.
But everything I’m reading is circumstantial, second hand, unrevealed sources, conjecture, etc. Like dominion machines ’could’ be connected to the internet. No proof any were, and the recounts show the numbers match the actual ballots. All the so called proof I’m seeing here is from people trying to promote their shows to gain viewers, and nothing that ever could hold up in court. You can’t tell me that every court in the country is being ran by anti trump judges and they are all in on this conspiracy. That even sounds crazier than the fraud allegations.Either you haven't been paying attention or you are just lying.
