63. The choice of any Republican is one of the lesser of evils.
Thu Jul 22, 2021, 09:39 AM
Jul 2021

I don't think that there is even one Republican that is actually fair minded. It would be a gross contradiction of todays Republican. They are nothing more than brainwashed turds. I really don't give a damn if any Republican is put on the committee. Everyone of them is dedicated to obstruction of the truth concerning their party's responsibility. I say go ahead with a committee of only Democrats because the Republicans with never concede to the facts.

The best you can hope for is that the results will at best convince the Independent voters that the Republicans represent one of the greatest threats to our system of government that we has ever faced. The bold fact is they are dedicated to the establishment of a authoritarian presidency and the destruction of the balance of powers that our system was founded on. The admiration that Trump has for Russian and Chinese systems clearly reveals his ultimate objective. As many have observed, the Republican Party has become a cult as blind as those dedicated to Mao, Stalin or Hitler as supreme invincible leaders.
