Republican Senators Are Delusional, Part Infinity

Delusional Senate Republicans still believe they can control Trump.

By Joan McCarter — April 27, 2024

Most GOP senators have fallen in line with Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign to return to the White House, starting from the top with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They’re with him despite everything, including Jan. 6 when he unleashed a mob on the Capitol that threatened their physical safety, if not their lives.

But they are hanging on to the pretense that they’ll be able to constrain him by continuing to refuse to nuke the filibuster for him, something Trump demanded when he was in the White House.

Axios reports that they “are locking arms to defend the filibuster,” pointing out that both senators vying to replace McConnell as leader when he steps down next year—John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota—continue to defend the filibuster as a Senate institution needing to be maintained.

is no better than Ted Cruz. He just puts a better face on. Let's not forget, as Attorney General of Texas, he gave a crooked cop from Tulia Texas an officer of the year award. You see, the officer, Tom Coleman was running an undercover drug operation in Tulia involving cocaine. Of the 47 arrested, 38 were African Americans. No drugs were found during the arrests. Officer Coleman never provided any evidence of any drug deal. No audio, or video. No drugs were turned in as evidence of those deals. He was eventually found out. But not before some of those people served prison time. Officer Coleman was later found guilty of perjury. He was sentenced to 10 years probation. That's John Cornyn for you.

Should be outlawed for a number of reasons. Everyone involved should be investigated at the very least.
