She won't. She's too old to get another trophy wife position.

Hawley is an utter embarrassment. He only thinks of his own ambition. I hope his political career is finished. Total clown and a fool.

I think the papers were drafted and signed off on four years ago. I suspect she negotiated her out right after the election and will get her golden parachute when Trump is officially out of office. So she was resigned to being FLOTUS, but had already resigned the position before she even took it, if you know what I mean.

Shockingly after seeing the leopards they created, encouraged and incited first hand a bunch of republicans no longer want to object to the electoral votes. That include Loeffler who just lost her senate race in Georgia.

Bold moves, to make this late in the game. What an amazing showing of courage.

I think it's just getting started. He's bright, politically shrewd, gives the impression at a glance of being genuine... at one point I posted about the possibility of a "smart Trump", and what such a person could have accomplished if given an opportunity like COVID in an election year, to use the fear produced by that virus to win a mandate to impose draconian measures that strengthen and centralize control in his executive - how Trump is awful, but at least he's incompetent, and it's not hard to imagine a version of him that could be far more damaging to America. Hawley could well be that guy.

Dude is basically made of slime... here he is slipping and sliming his way back the other way now that the balance of power is on the eve of shifting, with a sickly smirk on his face.

But yeah, it is pretty fun to watch.

Ted Cruz doubles-down. What a piece of garbage. Him and Hawley should be shot into the sun.

I think you're underestimating the degree to which hating Congress is a bipartisan practice.

I've heard maybe 4 or 5 ayes but it's hard to hear some of them.

Presidential candidates wanting Trump's mantle. I can't see moderate Republicans wanting to be associated with people who enabled this or participated in it. I hope they wear this for decades.

Yes I think Cruz and co will find this to be a really bad idea in the long run

He'd kind of made his bed though. I mean, Cruz was beyond rehabilitation based on the past 4 years. He's already pot committed, he might as well go all in.
