The silence and complicity of the Republican Party.

How many have spoken about the domestic terrorists coming to our Capitol again? What does their silence tell us?

How many have criticized the former disgraced president for attempting to incite more violence with his comments in the last couple of days? "That's just the way he is" is not good enough. We need these chicken shits to stand up.

Their complicity is like a huge billboard on a busy interstate.

They are a disgrace to their former Party and to their country.

They need to be booted from office and if complicit, jailed for decades.

Nixon sabotaged the Paris Peace Talks, and promoted a "secret" plan to end the Vietnam War -- by bombing Cambodia while Agnew took bribes in the VP office.

Reagan sabotaged hostage negotiations with the Iranians, then allowed secret sales of military goods to them.

Bush I's DOJ pardoned administration officials for their criminal complicity (courtesy of William Barr) in the final days of his administration.

And on and on and on...
