The party of “family values” has fallen on hard times. The Republican
Party as we know it has been transformed into the worst representation
of government in our modern history. Led by a moral abomination, Donald
Trump, the GOP has molded itself in the image of its inept leader and
become fodder for late night comedy, resignations, impeachment and
federal prison.
From the buffoonery of Donald Trump to the accusations of pedophilia
against Alabama Judge Roy Moore, conservative politics are imploding,
and everyone seems to understand that, except those in the middle of the
meltdown. Denials, delusions, and lies are the new normal for the GOP
as American citizens realize that the grand old party isn’t so grand
anymore.
Roy Moore and his Alabama contingent have proven themselves to be
tone deaf, insensitive and tragically stupid. Take the case of Alabama
GOP State Rep. Ed Henry, who dared to say that the purported victims of
Roy Moore should be prosecuted for not coming forward sooner with their
accusations. Sexual abuse is at the forefront of the American
consciousness, following the fallout from the Bill Cosby and Harvey
Weinstein revelations, among others that seem to emerge every day.
Women
are displaying immense courage and fortitude to break their silence and
should be encouraged to tell their truths not vilified.
Then there’s Republican National Committeeman, Paul Reynolds, who
incredibly opined that ‘if he had to choose who to place his welfare in,
The Washington Post – who reported the Roy Moore story – or Putin, he’d
choose Putin every time.’ Consider that for a moment. A representative
of our government, went on record saying he trusted a foreign adversary
that has been proven to interfere with our democratic elections, who has
journalists murdered, over a member of American media.
This madness was
offered as our resident Moron in Chief and his illicit underlings, are
being investigated for colluding with Russia. Is that coincidental,
ironic or full-fledged lunacy?
If that bit of brilliance doesn’t make your blood boil, contemplate
what may be the coup de grace, offered by Alabama state auditor, Jim
Ziegler, who delved into the realm of religious insanity, by first
comparing Moore’s alleged courtship of a 14 year old girl, to the
biblical relationship between Joseph and Mary. Just to make his position
clear, Ziegler doubled down on his idiocy by insisting there was
nothing immoral or illegal about a 32 year old man seducing a teenager.
Evangelicals all across the state of Alabama echo his sick sentiment.
It’s these same evangelicals who have empowered Donald Trump and
continue to support his
residency after he conned them into believing
he was a man of faith.
Led by cowardly Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell the GOP is also trying
to get a tax plan approved, that they’ve gone out their way to mislead
American citizens about. McConnell was caught lying about tax relief for
the middle class and Republicans have tried to include a repeal of the
ACA under the radar. Lying and deceit have become the most prevalent
calling card of the party.
Trump nominated Brett Talley for a federal judgeship, in spite of the
fact that Talley has never even tried a case in court as a lawyer. You
read that right. He’s never tried a case. Never filed a motion. He
passed a Senate vote 11-9. Guess who holds the majority seats in the
Senate? The GOP of course.
Sensing a pattern yet? Talley is also a
staunch supporter of the NRA, so much so that he characterized the Obama
administration’s call for background checks for prospective gun owners
and proposed limitations on rapid-fire weapons as ‘the greatest attack
on our constitutional freedoms in our lifetime.’ Federal judges are
appointed for life. How can anyone be comfortable with Donald Trump –
dumb as the day is long Donald Trump that is – populating our justice
system with his hand-picked judges? He isn’t remotely qualified to do
so, as evidenced by the numerous firings, resignations and significantly
substandard results of his cabinet and staff.
The Lying King himself, under investigation by Special Counsel Robert
Mueller – regardless of his denials and obliviousness- is poised to go
down in history not merely as the most corrupt, poisonous and boneheaded
president but also potentially as a foreign compromised treasonous
snake. He may very well be the first president fitted for a prison
jumpsuit along with his son Donald Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Donald Trump is a traitor to all things American. He has come right
out and said on Veterans Day no less, that he believes the word of
former KGB killer Vladimir Putin, over the universal findings of U.S.
intelligence. He says this with a straight face, even as indictments are
being handed down by Robert Mueller. Donald Trump is an absolute
disgrace to this country and has been long before he took office.
Resignation or impeachment will not be enough punishment for his
treason. Donald Trump belongs in a prison cell along with other members
of his dimwitted crime family.
Trump ignores Radical Christian Extremists while praising bigots as
fine people. Demands to put gun reform on the table are met with claims
of “too soon” while he waits about 15 seconds to call our Federal court
system a joke when prosecuting terrorists. He insults the families of
fallen soldiers, ignores social issues, calls for police brutality and
assails the media. Donald Trump is a cancer.
Trump and the GOP are protected by Fox News, who deemed the recent
democratic takeover election results as unworthy of report. Fox
disgustingly promotes debunked conspiracy theories, floated by Trump and
distort the facts of his presidency. We have to ask ourselves if
Republicans are beginning to believe the propaganda that Fox distributes
to the public because they seemingly have no grasp on reality and their
public perception.
As each day goes by the GOP shovels another pound of dirt into their
political grave while peeling back every layer of their deceptive
practices. They are led by and follow in the footsteps of lunatic who
has no respect or understanding of democracy.
Donald Trump is leading
the Republican Party to slaughter and as Tuesday’s elections
demonstrated, America is more than happy to aim our own weapons of mass
destruction, our votes, directly at the heart of the GOP. #RESIST
