Comprehensive List of Things Republicans Can No Longer Legitimately Criticize Thanks to Trump

by John Ziegler

.... ... I recently attempted to put together a comprehensive — and ever growing — list of the things that h they been been true of a Democrat, Republicans and the conservative media would have been on the warpath to destroy them. I came up with almost 100 of them. I am sure the list is incomplete, and will probably grow by the end of the day, but here it is:

.... Getting electoral help from an adversarial power and refusing to properly condemn or punish their meddling in our election.
Siding with a foreign adversary over our own intelligence agencies. ....

Being in constant and clear violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution by personally benefiting financially from foreign states because of their position. ....

Threatening to take guns away from citizens without due process. ....

Actively attacking legitimate media outlets (even those they give interviews to) as “fake” simply because they don’t like what is being reported. ....

Being consistently against the First Amendment, specifically with regard to libel laws and flag burning. ....

Trying to fire a Special Counsel who is investigating their own campaign.
Firing an FBI Director because they don’t like the way they are handling an investigation that directly involves themselves. ....

Using the House Intelligence Committee as a piece of partisan political machinery. ....

Being abjectly ignorant of the basic functions of our government. ....


Feel free to let me know what I may have missed.

Ziegler's just upset that we have good comebacks for the insults that reichwingers throw at liberals. Every so often, he does an essay about his own side, probably trying some penance for how he still sticks with it. He can go to hell.

....Rules don't apply to Republicans. As soon as they are out of power they will find offense and complain about anything and everything Dems do, even if it is exactly the stuff that they did.

And what we should do is say, "Fuck it. Let 'em complain." But unfortunately the media will suddenly find their backbone again and complain that Dems are doing this stuff, and our very sensible centrist powers that be will start taking it all to heart and decide that "We have to be better than them!!"

but for those beginning the journey, the lesson of SHITLER's era is how CRAVEN the politicians and "religious" and supposedly downtrodden followers have been, yet how they are getting *NOTHING* from him, not to mention that they will reap along with the rest of us destruction on many levels, ranging from personal integrity on up to national and world institutions. Look how SESSIONS, except for the tiny bit of integrity in recusing himself, has done EVERY OTHER thing to try to please his cartel mob boss, only to be publicly humiliated.

"Old" countries have known the CRAVENNESS, which we have called their cynicism, when they have collaborated with enemies or been apathetic when a new tinpot takes over.
