NEVER AGAIN should we allow the GOP to call itself the "law and order" party

without challenging the assertion.

A law and order party would have 1.) impeached Trump months ago for violation of the emoluments clause, failure to protect America from foreign cyber attack, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to defraud the United States government, etc, etc; 2.) prosecuted him for illegally using his office for financial gain; 3.) prosecuted numerous of Trump's aides for unlawfully transmitting classified information to persons known to lack the appropriate security clearance; 4.) prosecuted Kellyanne Conway for violating the Hatch Act in an attempt to elect credibly accused child molester Moore in Alabama Senate election. I could go on, but you get the point.

They are in favor of enforcing laws which penalize Democrats. If the offender has an R after his or her name, well---Jesus forgives them, don't ya know, so why can't you, you heathen liberal?

Classical Conservatives. The rules are only enforced against the "others" as a means to preserve their own status.

They are burning through money for all of 45's bullshit, and gave a nice fat tax handout to all the fat-cats upstream.

As for "family values," what can be said? Starting with "I'd date her, if she wasn't my daughter," or "Grab 'em by the ****y"?
