Drain the Republican Swamp

I call ’em like I see ’em. T is for Tyrant.

How is it presidential to be found guilty for sexual assault?

How is it presidential for this NOT to be the only story of T cheating on his wife?

How is it presidential for this to pail in comparison to so many of his other indictments? January 6ths… stolen classified documents… etc. etc.

Conclusion: When we write about Mr. Trump we should simply call him what he is – Mr. Tyrant.

Who else would inspire followers like this?

P.S. Yes, we need to reclaim America, you bunch of bozos. Reclaim it from tyrants and fascists who seek to tear it apart.

If Trump creates enough hatred and spurs enough paranoia to become president again in 2024, our future is easy to predict. There won’t be another presidential election in 2028. Why would he want one? And congress will likely be disbanded. Isn’t that what happens when authoritarians, the world over, take power?

And for those who think his power will somehow help you and your family, just remember what happens to Trump’s enablers, time and time again, once they become a liability. Bye bye Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, and so many more. (Don’t forget the dead Capital police)

Bottom line, you’ll never benefit from helping someone who only care about himself. All of your sacrifice will quickly be forgotten once he no longer needs your vote. Just look at the man and tell me I’m wrong.

All the laughter and jeering last night as Trump rained a diarrhea downpour of lies really goes to show one thing: Republicans are 100% ok with lying. Remember that the next time you’re about to sign any kind of business contract or make any substantial purchase.

How is it that a Republican party that used to stand for something is kowtowing to a twice impeached, criminal defendant who only cares for himself – country and constitution be damned? Answer: No spine; being too afraid that if they don’t follow along with the right wing hysteria that they’ll be ostracized from the party.

Sadly, from this position, if Democrats propose anything sensible, like gun control to stop the NRA from turning our kids into tactical psychopaths, then they’re labeled as RINOs. And lacking spine – they toe the line.

Bottom line, women and children will continue to die and the Republican party will continue devolving into a Kool-Aid drinking cult until somebody gets some balls. Maybe look to Liz Cheney, guys.

With Trump threatening to veto the omnibus spending package, Senate Republicans just showed America that they are the party of obstruction – and right in time for Christmas. What a sharp stick in the eye!

If the Democrats were in charge, everyone would get their $600. With Republicans in control, you get nothing but a pie-in-the sky promise.

If chump voters can see that, however, is up for debate.

After all, one could easily point to hundreds, thousands of examples of incompetence and outright cruelty from the Republican party over the last 4 years, but that usually won’t sway a true devotee in the cult of “It’s all fake news.”

Luckily we still live in America. And the American people have spoken. The truth on what’s right and wrong is still important.

For a political base that seems hell bent on taking us back to the 1950’s… they’ve taken the meaning behind the American flag to places we’ve never been before; authoritarianism, dictatorship, fascism… basically giving the flag a purely political and egotistical “us vs. them.” meaning, which is, bottom line, un-American.

U.S. Code Section 700 states, “The flag of the United States shall be thirteen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white; and the union of the flag shall be fifty stars, white in a blue field.” Violation is subject to a year in jail.

i.e. Changing the colors or configuration of the flag has always been a breaking with the true meaning of Old Glory.

This Texas lawsuit confronts us with a simple, black and white question: Doesn’t signing onto an anti-democratic lawsuit also mean that every one of these banana Republicans deserves to lose their rights, privileges and prestige bestowed on them by the democratic process? (Since obviously they don’t believe in the will of the people…)

It’s simply un-American. Here it is spelled out in the Constitution:

Amendment XIV, Section 3: No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

5,000? 10,000? 100,000 more deaths because it takes another 6 months to make America safe from the virus? This is criminal negligence and it has to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law – or else the law is meaningless.
