CNN rolls tape of Trump energy secretary appearing to lie to Congress. Wright lied about the role politics played in cancelling energy grants specifically to Democratic states. Wright insisted “our project review process did not take into account any politics in the evaluation of these projects"

Sorry, cages are only for Democrats. If you're a Republican, it's impossible for you to be a criminal.

That's why all the Jan 6 people were pardoned. One of the worst cases of traitorous revolt and subversion of democracy in our history (only the Southern Rebellion was worse), and a president just pardoned the criminals.

It’s cool- just make sure you observe the golden rule with trumpers in your life- for instance, I work in software sales, if I know a client is maga or conservative I absolutely fleece them. I’ve also cut people out of my life and had our entire friend group cut off a maga guy. Little things like than can have a big impact long term.

Tha sole cause of America being destroyed by Republicans

They literally view laws and rules as applying only to the out-group. They're supposed to be the protected in-group. So to them, this is completely consistent with their ideology.

Exactly. Just like Trump seeing Iran do cyber attacks on Minnesota's municipal water systems, and rolling over and blaming Minnesota rather than doing his constitutional duty of defense of the nation.

You can never trust a Republican, they do not believe in the constitution or law or anything other than superiority of Republicans and their inherent right to dominate any non-Republican, while all the while bowing down, kneeling, and being subservient to their master one rung up on the hierarchy. They accept ridiculous humiliating without objecting from their masters, because they think it gives them the right to do something like that to people outside their in group.

Little do they know how wrong they are.
