28. This type of RepubliCON covert EXTORTION,
Fri Oct 24, 2025, 02:00 PM
Oct 24

to get what ever they want, has worked every single time on Corporations, Wealthy Donors, Top Zillionairs, political foes, etc

The RepubliCONs just figured it work on Dems also.........

Let the RepubliCONs wear this one. Please let the Dems continue to call out the RepubliCON"s corrupt technique from the rooftops EVERY SINGLE DAY........
Along with the damage it is doing, and especially point out the damage it will do..... IF IT DOES PASS......

For starters, when ever a Dem is interviewed and asked a question, they should reply:

"The Republicans always avoid answering ever single question, when interviewed, and launch into a pre-rehearsed Republican Talking Point, regardless of how irrelevant it may be to the question asked........., soooooo I will not answer the question, but will instead, launch into Democratic Talking Points,..........And if the interviewer objects or calls them on it.....The Dem should say: THE MEDIA NEVER EVER CALLS THE REPUBLICANS FOR THEM DOING EXACTLY THAT, ON EVERY LAST QUESTION YOU ASK,....WHY ARE YOU CALLING THE DEMS ON DOING IT" ???????
