The Republicans' best and brightest --
A Nazi loving 25 year old who can’t spell his name; a woman in a domestic terrorist cult that believes Trump was anointed to take down satanic democratic pedophiles; & a gun-toting lunatic who worked with the terrorists to have @SpeakerPelosi killed are all still in Congress. pic.twitter.com/YLMGcvvIee

GOPs "frustrated", "angry" that Democrats are opting not to get strung along in a replay of 2009-2015 era. That model is clear: bargain Dems down, play out the clock and end up not supporting anything. https://t.co/gurWI6aixP

Let’s be real about what’s going on: Dems are once bitten, twice shy about getting strung along for weeks by Republicans negotiating in bad faith when a simple-majority option is available, and if these Republicans are miffed about it, it shows Dems are right to feel that way. https://t.co/6qs1HZWlRh

This is right but there is one more thing to say. Trump & his faction made systematic effort, up to fomenting violence, to delegitimize Biden's presidency. So it's crucial in early days for Biden to show he is in fact president and has control of the government. https://t.co/zknd5vLwgq

Donald Trump, September 29, 2020: Proud Boys: Stand back and stand by.
