For the most part it was the same old same BS, and even though he did get in a few jabs at Mitch, I don't he was willing to exactly burn his bridges with him like he did with so many other GOP members!

Nikki Haley, former U.N. ambassador -- The former ambassador to the U.N. during the Trump administration was invited to CPAC but declined, citing a scheduling conflict. Haley is widely viewed as a presidential contender in 2024 and hyped up the former president at last year’s event.

After the Capitol riot, Haley said she doesn’t think Trump has a future leading in the GOP, but she walked that back a bit with a Wall Street Journal op-ed crediting Trump for other achievements and blaming the media for creating a rift in the party.

Nikki Haley Praises 'Strong' Donald Trump CPAC Speech After Doubting Role in Future of GOP

Former United Nations ambassador and possible 2024 GOP presidential contender Nikki Haley has praised former President Donald Trump's weekend speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, dismissing talk of a civil war within the party as a creation of the "liberal" media.

Haley said the GOP should unite behind Trump's "strong" speech, despite comments made less than a month ago in which she criticized his role in the January 6 attack on the Capitol and suggested the former president would not be able to successfully run for office again.

"Strong speech by President Trump about the winning policies of his administration and what the party needs to unite behind moving forward," Haley wrote on Twitter shortly after Trump's address. "The liberal media wants a GOP civil war. Not gonna happen."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The day after he single-handedly delayed the U.S. Senate's debate on President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill for 11 hours, Republican Senator Ron Johnson said on Friday that he could retire from office when his term expires.

The two-term Republican told Wisconsin media outlets that he has not decided whether to run for reelection in 2022 but added that not seeking another term is "probably my preference now."

Johnson, a Trump ally, recently drew widespread criticism by peddling a debunked conspiracy theory that leftists posing as Trump supporters played a role in the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Political analysts say his seat could be vulnerable to Democrats next year.

IF only!

After the bone-headed things this jackass has done, I would like to think he wouldn't even be able to win dog catcher position but unfortunately after past elections, where idiots like Graham, Cruz, McConnell, Collins, and others won, it'd be a toss up!

Today is a great day for the Biden Administration, Democrats, and the entire country. The American Rescue Plan passed, Merrick Garland was confirmed as Attorney General and Marcia Fudge as HUD Secretary.

This is truly landmark legislation. It's great to see government hard at work again. Repugs are just the party of no. It's pathetic.

I'm telling all the yapping Trump supporters to either give their $1400 back or stop bashing Biden and the Democrats since the Democrats are 100% responsible for them getting the money and that no Republican supported the bill. I know it does no good but they need to shut up and I'm gonna tell em, lol.

Rep. Lauren Boebertrt (R-Colo.) faced backlash this week for releasing an ad attacking Democrats and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) that ended with a gunshot sound.

In the spot, the QAnon-endorsing first-term lawmaker called on Pelosi to “tear down” the security fence that was put up around the U.S. Capitol following the Jan. 6 insurrection, when a violent mob of then-President Donald Trump’s supporters overran the Capitol building.

“It’s time to cut the crap and remember, this is the people’s house,” Boebert bombastically declared.

The video concluded with audio of a gunshot, followed by the sound of the weapon being reloaded and fired again.

According to the NY Times, influential Evangelical Beth Moore is going to quit Southern Baptists over Trump. As tweeted by Beth MooreLPM on 12/13/2020, "I do not believe these are days for mincing words. I'm 63 1/2 years old & I have never seen anything in these United States of America I found more astonishingly seductive & dangerous to the saints of God than Trumpism. This Christian nationalism is not of God. Move back from it." Now if only the rest can come to their senses.
