Because trump is the president and has reset the bell curve, the Republicans have lost sight on what batshit crazy is.

Senate GOP blocks three election security bills
Senate Republicans blocked an effort by Democrats to unanimously pass three election security-related bills Tuesday, marking the latest attempt to clear legislation ahead of the November elections
Democrats tried to get consent to pass two bills that require campaigns to alert the FBI and Federal Election Commission (FEC) about foreign offers of assistance, as well as legislation to provide more election funding and ban voting machines from being connected to the internet.
But Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) opposed each of the requests. Under the Senate’s rules, any one senator can ask for unanimous consent to pass a bill, but any one senator can object and block their requests.
Smart of the Republicans. They can’t keep the White House unless they get Putin’s help.

February 12, 2020 at 16:39 #31382Participant::Rep. Jim Jordan accused of participating in OSU sexual abuse cover-up by ex-wrestler
Ohio congressman and former Ohio State assistant wrestling coach Jim Jordan has been accused of participating in the cover-up of widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.
Jordan was accused by Adam DiSabato, who was the team captain in the late 1980s and early 1990s. DiSabato was appearing in front of a hearing in the Ohio legislature as a witness for House Bill 249, which would waive the statute of limitations and allow the OSU athletes who had been abused to sue the university.
DiSabato told the House Civil Justice Committee that several team officials, including Jordan, were aware that the team’s open shower facilities put them at risk of being abused and harassed by a team doctor, but did nothing about it. Then DiSabato detailed a phone conversation between him and Jordan, in which Jordan asks DiSabato to help him cover up wrongdoing.
Via Cleveland.com:
[DiSabato] also said Jordan called him repeatedly in July 2018, after media outlets quoted his brother, Michael DiSabato, saying Strauss’ abuse was common knowledge to those surrounding the wrestling program, including Jordan.
“Jim Jordan called me crying, groveling… begging me to go against my brother…That’s the kind of cover-up that’s going on there,” he said.
“Are you guys going to do what you’re voted to do?” he told lawmakers later. “That’s the only reason I’m here.”
Jordan’s name has already come up in this scandal numerous times. When the news broke in April 2018 that Dr. Richard Strauss had been accused of sexually abusing over 150 OSU wrestlers between 1978 and 1998, Jordan denied knowing anything about it, despite being an assistant wrestling coach from 1987 to 1995.
Jordan continued to deny having any knowledge of student sexual abuse even after independent investigators released a report in May 2019 that concluded that Strauss, who had been employed by OSU’s athletics department and student health center until he was suspended in 1996, abused at least 177 male student athletes and patients. Strauss died by suicide in 2005.
A spokesman for Jordan called DiSabato’s accusations “a total lie.”
Jordon is one of Trump’s staunchest supporters in the House. He is the ugly face of all that is wrong with the GOP, the party of fake family values and Christian edicts.

Fox News Host Mark Levin Says Bernie Sanders Is Racist Because He Lives In Vermont
Life at the top is making Bernie Sanders an even juicier target for conservative pundits.
Before the senator won the New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary Tuesday, Fox News host Mark Levin accused him of being a racist ― for moving to Vermont. (See the Media Matters-shared video below)
Levin, host of “Life Liberty & Levin,” reminded viewers this week on Blaze TV’s “LevinTV” that Sanders is a native New Yorker. He then steered into his eyebrow-raising declaration.
“This is a man born in Brooklyn, New York. Where does he wind up? In Vermont,” Levin said on his show Monday. “He talks about the society being racist from the top to the bottom. Racist throughout. Why did he choose Vermont? Why does he live in Vermont? Why didn’t he choose another place? Why didn’t he choose a town like Newark or Camden? Or East Palo Alto or East St. Louis? Why didn’t he pick any of these really tough majority-minority towns? Why didn’t he pick them? Because he’s racist, from top to bottom, that’s why.”
Levin is the guy who back in October said President Donald Trump hasn’t had “even been a hint of scandal” in office.
Not a hint of scandal? This shows that Levin has has all of the credibility of a trumpturd, that is to say, none.
