Oh, Pelosi’s potential replacement is an “election denier (2016). Pass the popcorn Bobbie…

Sooooooo rich! Didn't know that about him.... but then again, I come from the school where expressions of opinions aren't capitol offenses.

Did the Democrats lust elect a 'threat to democracy' to lead their party in Washington? How in the hell are they going to spin this after years of pushing the narrative that the 'big lie' will bring us to the brink of collapse? Classic...

And Paul’s favorite denial of a conspiracy theory has just been overturned.
From the great journalist Bari Weiss’s (No conservative( blog:

The FBI was involved in January 6: It used to be considered a conspiracy theory to say that the FBI might have infiltrated conservative groups and joined the January 6th riot. It was considered crazy to suggest that they were hoping to catch some right-wing crimes and so potentially encouraged those protestors to go just a little bit further. Lately, that’s not looking so crazy. Two of the major Capitol storming clans—the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers—were choc-a-bloc with FBI informants, according to new court documents. As many as eight were working in the Proud Boys. And the No. 2 leader of the Oath Keepers was reporting to the FBI.

Hmmm. Ever hear of Chief instigator Ray Epps?

As with trying to foist Hunter Biden's grift with Ukraine onto a phone call that Trump had, the best defense is a good diversionary offense according to Dems.

The suckers wake up to the grifter's nonsense, albeit too late:

Paul is unable to exist without that guy.

Move on to a better life, bud.

That's your comeback?!?! This is a total joke - you've allowed yourself to be lied to more than anyone in American history, and this is your response to that?

So it doesn't even faze you in the least that nearly every single Trump transgression has proven to be false? Hell, even the story of Trump raging at Melania because of Oz losing the election was totally fabricated.

No, Paul, you're the sucker.

I'm not one of the evangelical leaders quoted in that article.

Paul, I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish with all of your Trump posts. I'm not sure there's a single person on this board who wanted Trump to run in 2024. Yet you post article after article after article..and then throw in a quick lecture on civility. So who exactly are you addressing with your Trump rhetoric?

What are your thoughts on the new leader of the Democratic party being an election denier? Seems to fly in the face of literally everything you have railed against for the last 2+ years.

Here in South Carolina, our governor and others are supporting Trump's bid for re-election.
Unfortunately I'm surrounded by the nonsense. At least the pastors woke up.
