These guys are so "Originalist" that they don't even support the first 10 amendments

Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"

Republicans could end the shutdown right now by revising the Senate rules to a simple majority vote. The ball is actually in their court

We are either products of, or a reaction to, our parents. Maybe Mr. Van Pelt was a Great Pumpkin denier and an athiest, and Linus has oppositional defiance disorder? This would explain him quoting scripture at Christmas time as well.

6/ Sure the House isn't here so Rs don't have to explain why they want premiums to go up and why they want to fund Trump's corruption.

But also because they don't want to swear in member-elect Adelita Grijalva. Since she would be the deciding vote to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

They need to convince themselves that the No Kings protesters are paid, because to realize the truth frightens them even more.
The truth is that we protesters choose all by ourselves to peacefully stand up against authoritarianism, love the stranger, and defend the Constitution.

These people really don't grasp the connection between "gleefully forcing a bunch of highly educated and highly motivated people out of their jobs" and "those people now have a lot of free time and hate you even more than they did before," do they

Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

Funny how they'll never admit how inorganic the Tea Party was. Guys like Dick Armey and FreedomWorks were merely trying to sabotage the remedial work by the Federal Reserve so that the billionaires with cash could buy severely deflated assets. Many of the Tea partiers were merely dupes.

The Senate could simply change the 60 vote supermajority rule to a simple majority vote, and Republicans could end the shutdown today

So if someone disagrees, there must be someone pulling their strings? There is no way that they could, on their own, disagree with you? You have THE correct ideas, and they are dupes?

I do believe in the power of propaganda. But does it change people, or just awaken what is already in their heart?

Hey, what was happening in Germany in the 1930s? I forget.

James Woods
@RealJamesWoods
For those who actually respect history, the origin story of Antifa is well documented. Antifa is an organization that emerged with the “German Communist Antifaschistische Aktion” movement in the 1930’s.
German Communists smeared anyone to their right as "fascists,” a common ploy used by the ignorant hysterical activists of the Democrat Party today. Like today’s leftist loonies, the German Antifa of the Weimar years even labeled the leftwing SDP as "social fascists." Today’s Antifa are a paramilitary mob used by the usual suspects to foment fake “mass protests” and burn down cities. The same puppet masters of the Democrat activist judges ruining America today also fund these “useful idiots” of Antifa to impede the mandate given to the current President in his landslide last election victory.
