The silence of the Republicans

They are lambs that are walking to their own well-deserved destruction.

None of them, not one, has anything to say about Dear Leader taking a crap on stage last night. They all know who and what he is. Yet, not a single word from any of them. They live in fear of their tyrant in chief.

Not one of them should be reelected, but you know that most of their voters will vote for them again. And it's more than a matter of their voters holding their noses. Many of them really luv their house members and senators. Seems that these voters are descended from a different prehistoric species than the rest of us.

The upcoming election will be a nightmare because of the silence of Republican cowards. And all of us will be suffering through a couple of months of hell after the election because of them.

Every minute of Trumpy's ranting and threatening shows who the GOP really is. The entire party has placed their bets on Trump, they're watching HIM destroy their party, and they are doing NOTHING to stop the carnage. Indeed, they're terrified of the monster. And the fact that they're terrified shows that they are incapable of political leadership.

He is an obvious pig, but they don't mind any of it.

They defended him until the end until the 2008 stock market crash, then the GOP didn’t even invited him or Cheney to the 2008 convention or the 2012, or 2016.

He may drag some of his base along as Palin did after 2008, but they too will drop after a few fraud convictions.

And their next spiritual candidate will likely be so ignorant that It makes Trump look wise.

Their fate is tied to tRump. Their only hope is to stack the courts - including the SCOTUS - with RW judges who will happily deliver the “get out of jail free” cards to any R brought before the courts for their treasonous activities.

They are party above all.

They know that Trump is a dump.

But they are extremist who will vote for ANY Republican.

It's all about the party.

Each of them would align with any party that keeps them in office. These are people who would have happily joined Germany's Nazi Party if it meant they got to hold positions of authority, privilege and power. That's all they care about and fuck everybody else.
