Gee, I'm so proud of Toomey ...

... he said, out loud, and for the record, that the attempt by the GOP to over turn the PA election is 'unacceptable' ...
... golly gee wow - such strong words ...
... of course, this is only possible because he's not running for anything ...
... he's a worthless pile of protein, always was and most likely always will be ...

... I'm so tired of these spineless Republicans -- the most damning he can say is unacceptable ...

Do not stand in the way of your enemy shooting himself repeatedly in the foot.

Frankly, the Dem's condemning his actions serves no purpose here, and if anything may actually unite the GOP in opposition. At this point, the more Republicans that come out against Trump, the more you'll see something resembling a moderate wing beginning to reform among the GOP. It's needed, desperately. What remains - what Trump has weaponized - is they dying remnants of an extremist movement. Without a demagogue in power, they'll eventually fade away.

But in this case, a stopped clock is right twice a day. Gotta give some credit to a couple R’s who are no longer running, out of office, or have no more f*cks to give (Romney) for having at least some morals while the entire rest of the party has none.
The scary part is the R’s from moderate purple areas like mine that are toeing the party line. Brian Fitzpatrick who recently campaigned in being “voted the most independent in Congress!” is refusing to acknowledge Biden’s win. And I fear people will have short memories and buy his “moderate” BS again in 2 years.
