keep harping away

Very interesting word choice along with several others in this diatribe. I can’t fathom why you would use that particular word

Sucks to be right on this one.

She’s a witch and a harpy Raf, clearly the snake in the garden of Eden that is congress - McConnell, McCarthy and even Schumer aren’t worth a mention let alone Cruz, Hawley et al.

Meanwhile the former president who falsely claimed he won reelection for two months, tried to overturn the results by pressuring state officeholders of his own party to find votes and when that didn’t work incited a mob to storm the Capitol that wanted to hang his loyal Vice President is merely a pillock that should be acquitted for the good of the nation.

This is abhorrent, if the troops are still required for security or are being transitioned to their original duties they should be provided with decent facilities

I was confused at exactly what his 2017 whataboutism was even referring to and it seems like he means that in 2017 the Democrats from MD opposed certifying the election. But this didn't actually happen at all? The GOP is exhausting. End the filibuster and just do away with them for at least two years.

the big story here for a couple of days was how they were all sleeping on the floor in the Capitol

I was like, it’s too bad that Trump doesn’t have a high profile supporter in the bedding industry to make these guys comfortable by, say, donating pillows

If they're currently serving, you'd suspect that they could face a court-martial for any military offences against the UCMJ.

On the other hand, they're just as likely to face criminal charges in a federal court and that could then lead to a court-martial and a dishonerable discharge.

For me, it's six of one and half a dozen of an another. They should be treated better and it looks like typical military mismanagement, but on the other hand...

.... as a squaddie you've got to expect some periods of hardship including lack of sleep and facilities.

I knew you’d get it eventually

I saw pictures of that earlier. Not a great look tbh. You would have thought they could throw up some accommodation...

Your last line is fine except that they are not in Afghanistan or wherever, they were in the Capitol. I’d be having words with someone over this tbh....

So the woman who took a private jet to the coup is now trying to raise money online to pay for her legal fees. We’ll see how that works out for her.

There’ll be plenty of thirsty right wing incels willing to throw a few $ at her I’m sure...
