I hate those motherfrickers so much. I genuinely hope something bad happens to them.

Cornyn has openly talked about needing written confirmation of the rescission of the IRS audit deal.

Ron Wyden has an amendment going up tomorrow to even further erode the crooked deal Blanche won’t disclaim in writing.

Cornyn doesn't like the agreement trump made with the IRS/DOJ. Where they will never investigate trump or his kids on their tax returns. Cornyn wants that ended.

In what world does that exist? They investigated Trump for years for fricking fake crimes. Eric has spent more time in court than any other person you can name. Do you think they won’t investigate Trump for actual crimes if he has committed them?!

It would be a shame if Cornyn has to spend all his usaid booty defending himself for the next ten years.

When I retired, if an event was to extend beyond my retirement date, I didn't touch it. If it fell within my retirement date - open and shut - business as usual

These two have no business in this affair

Of course they did.

Because Trump won't give billions to fight HIV in Africa.

We’ve known what causes hiv for 40 years. There is no reason to spend billions of dollars on 3rd-worlders who won’t listen.

People like me voted you out Cornyn. Shut up & move on to the next phase of your life & stop attempting to go scorched earth to get revenge. This is exactly why you lost to Ken Paxton. You are a petulant child.

I cant remember if it really happened or if it was some skit for SNL or In Living Color (or the like), or if I am just making it up, but I seem to recall seeing a video of some people trying to teach Africans how to use condoms by putting them on bananas and then going back a year later and there were babies everywhere, but outside of every dwelling was a rotted banana with a condom on it.

It's more that they have family/friends running the NGOs that would actually get the $

Well Trump appointing his personal lawyer is not a good look. Appointing him to Librarian of Congress without approval is not a good look either.
All us republicans would be throwing a fit if Obama or Biden hired their personal attorney to be Attorney General of US, which is to operate independent of the Executive and not be influenced by the WH.

RINOs have most certainly earned their derisive moniker.

This is pure pettiness and as much as an “FU” to all GOP voters as it is to DJT himself.

Wronggg. Cornyn openly said why. He said he wants funding for an aids drug in Africa that was cut brought back before he approved the new AG.
Guess who is one of his top campaign contributors? Gillead, the manufacturer of the aids drug and who he will be consulting for in a few months
