Republicans are insane

If PBO had said or done anything like what trump has said and done republicans would be losing their minds.

If PBO had taken to Twittering policy positions or publicly airing attacks of people the republicans would burning the WH down right now.

If a senior advisor to PBO had suggested that public financial disclosures and ethics laws were to difficult and hampering their ability to hire people a republicans would have created a congressional committee to investigate them by now.

If PBO's Communications Director had said anything that "the Mooch" said yesterday, republicans would be clawing through the walls of the WH demanding he be fired.

If PBO had attacked former republican office holders in his speech to the Boy Scout Jamboree I fear what would be said or done by republicans.

This is just a sample, a snapshot, from the last week.

The current trend is incredibly disturbing and I find the cognitive dissonance very alarming.

One does not have to even wonder much at how the Republicans would've reacted.

first for being a Dem and second for being a woman. If "a lady" said those things she'd be torn to shreds by the GOP and Fux Ruse.
