It's always the same with these Republicans, they are horrified, ashamed , troubled and worried but in the end they stick with him, Romney is the only one

One tiny squeak of protest from Romney is nowhere close to him appearing moral. He has said nothing about children in cages, Trump's coded but obvious support of white supremacists and on and on.

    The GOP is very similar to the Police Officers involved in the George Floyd murder. Trump's the one with the knee on the neck of America and the GOP senators are the ones watching, standing around, aiding and abetting.

    The problem is, if Trump becomes a drag on them, what options do they have?  Being an anti-trump Republican is not likely to get them enough votes to beat a Dem.  It will come down to individual areas.  If a GOP person is largely popular but Trumps is a drag, then sure, they can torch Trump and try to win.  Those would be Democrat longshots either way.  But the GOP allowed this to happen.  And I think they're beginning to see the future of a party that has to either get pulled all the way to fascism or re-invent itself as the moderate conservative movement.

    Wasnt it Graham who said before the last election "If we nominate Trump, it will destroy us and we'll deserve it."  Yup.

    Yup:

    Cop Kills 22-Year-Old on His Knees After Mistaking His Hammer for a Gun: Chief

    A police officer in Vallejo, California, shot and killed 22-year-old Sean Monterrosa early Tuesday morning after mistaking a hammer in his pocket for a gun, the city’s police chief said Thursday. Monterrosa was on his knees when the unnamed officer, who told authorities he believed Monterrosa to be armed with a gun, fired at him five times through his car windshield. Monterrosa had a hammer, not a gun, in his pocket.

     Watching the Republican party ......reminds me of the 1937 conference of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, during a round of applause to honor Joseph Stalin

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described the surreal scene in The Gulag Archipelago:

    “The applause went on—six, seven, eight minutes! They were done for! Their goose was cooked! They couldn’t stop now till they collapsed with heart attacks! At the rear of the hall, which was crowded, they could of course cheat a bit, clap less frequently, less vigorously, not so eagerly…Nine minutes! Ten!…Insanity! To the last man! With make-believe enthusiasm on their faces, looking at each other with faint hope, the district leaders were just going to go on and on applauding till they fell where they stood, till they were carried out of the hall on stretchers.”

    At last, after eleven minutes of non-stop clapping, the director of a paper factory finally decided enough was enough. He stopped clapping and sat down—a miracle!
    “To a man, everyone else stopped dead and sat down.”

    That same night, the director of the paper factory was arrested and sent to prison for ten years.  Authorities came up with some official reason for his sentence, but during his interrogation, he was told: “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

    That is absolutely ridiculous. She was briefed? Briefed for what purpose? What could she possibly do with the information? What role in gov't does she play, exactly? 

     

    I'm sure Trump is looking for ways to fleece gov't in as many ways as possible but I'm not sure how this would help that? 

     

    I suppose he's probably inspecting the bunker again. Just in case.

    The most galling thing about this post (aside from all of it) is where she says Mattis' comments were "overdue". Like he should have said something long ago. And where was she to speak to these "overdue" comments all this time? Especially when she had the chance at the impeachment to send that "necessary" message herself. Do or Die's point about "never be the first to stop applauding" is bang on here.

    But on the bright side, Mattis' rebuke of the Donald may have cracked open the floodgates. It was speculated on CNN that him taking that first step (which is much easier for him since he already quit and had nothing to lose from Trump) would open the doors for other military personnel (like Esper, who already followed the lead) to defy Trump and hopefully refuse to follow any orders to "dominate" civilians. Looks like that turncoat turning of the tide will now extend to the Republican senate. Can't wait for the biggest lackeys like Gaetz, Cruz, Graham and McConnell to cut bait and get all self-righteous against Trump to try and save their own political skin. That will be rich.

    Americans, not all of them, will only have themselves to blame if Trump gets re elected, get out vote, protest, make change or you won't believe what you are in for

    I don't think I'm exaggerating or being overly dramatic when I say this is a world issue not just an United States of America issue. Americans of sound mind please take heed and vote the GOP and this deranged idiot out. Then we can all breathe, get back to our lives squabbling among each other but realizing we are all on the same team when it comes to this shite.
