    “You want us to litigate things that happened four years ago when we’re talking about the future."

    See, this would ring a lot more true if the issue wasn’t being literally litigated right now and going forward. As in, somebody just got sent to jail. Court documents about Trump’s outstanding criminal trial just got released.

    Yeah, people want you to litigate stuff that happened four years ago. And then for those responsible, Trump included, to go to jail for… you know, all the crimes. “I want to talk about the future” doesn’t play quite as well when the judge is asking you about those.

      And it would have been litigated already, at least a year ago, except for the GOP fuckery aiding the defense in their delay tactics.

      It’s the Putin party.

      It’s a “gotcha question” because it shows exactly who is taking Rubles for payment.

      I think you mean “complicit” rather than “complacent”, though both could be true I suppose.

    We’re not gonna talk about what happened in 2020, we’re gonna talk about 2024

    When asking a Republican “Who won the 2020 election”, that is a question entirely about 2024. A Republican’s answer (or non-answer) can be used to predict how they will behave after losing the 2024 election.

    it’s only a “gotcha” question because you insist on lying. why is it so hard for you to say “trump lost”?

      He knows trump is petty, so if he would say that on Monday he would no longer be a speaker.

      Same with Vance being a VP.

      It’s mind blowing how much control that one person has over the entire party.

        Even more mind blowing is that an incoherent, rambling, oblivious fraudster has that much control over the party.

    If you say that having traitors in government is bad and one party gets infuriated by it, I think you’ve mapped your problem.

    There’s real gotchas and there’s fake gotchas. This one is real. So they want to play it off as a fake one.
