If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that no one gives a flying freak what Paul Ryan thinks.

JFC...the media is already desperate to fill their bylines with anything besides reporting on the current disaster that is this administration, why are these idiotic state legislatures in Texas and PA just falling over themselves to give them fodder.

Simple advice; if your opposition wants to cull their own population-let them.

Yeah it's totally not about reducing the votes for their opponents in order to protect their shrinking base's ability to keep them in power. Definitely not.

From a purely political (not ethical) standpoint, I understand why some of these Republicans are tolerating all the crazies from the Trump side.  The Republican party is in sort of a nuclear war-type standoff, where mutually-assured destruction is the only thing keeping them together.  Both traditional conservatives and the far right crazies know that without each other they both go down to the Democrats.  Either side officially breaking off from the other would end in both being wiped off the map in most elections.

Sorry that in a two party system one party isn't just going to bend over and make it as easy as possible for the other to ballot harvest, falsely register, illegally assist, buy votes/duplicate votes or utilize an underbelly of people so disaffected they can't even verify who they are via a simple ID.

The majority of one party voted down an attempt to investigate terrorists who sought to execute their coworkers.

At what point will the Democrats stop negotiating with terrorists and those who align themselves with them?

Ahahahahahahahahahaha.

Seriously, there's nothing else to do but laugh at this hyperbolic nonsense.

The Republican party is more concerned with power than it is in preserving a democracy or even living in an objective reality.

I seriously hope this causes Manchin to rethink his stance.

It's almost admirable, if only Democrats were as interested in gaining and properly using power.
