By Cristina Cabrera|November 18, 2020 2:36 p.m.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) whos dutifully condoned President Donald Trumps corrupt antics like the rest of the GOP for the past four years is baffled by the chaos thats emerged for some inexplicable reason in recent weeks.
After President Donald Trump fired Chris Krebs, the top cybersecurity official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the GOP senator gently rebuked Trump on Wednesday, then puzzled over the tumultuous state of affairs.
Its the Presidents prerogative, but I think it just adds to the confusion and chaos, Cornyn told reporters, per Politico. And Im sure Im not the only one that would like some return to a little bit more of a I dont even know whats normal anymore.
Well call it the next normal, he added. Its not the new normal, its the next normal.
Like his GOP colleagues, Cornyn has allowed Trump to get away with virtually everything his entire presidency, including the Ukraine scandal that led to the Presidents impeachment and his disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you don't like that, get off your ass and do something about it.
Gather some like-minded cowards and publicly break with your party leadership. Tell Trump and Mitch to stop this nonsense. Better still, declare yourselves Independent or as members of a now "sane Republicans" party, and caucus with the Democrats.
As long as they hold a shred of power, this madness will continue. You have the power to stop it, if only you'd use it.

... however you define the word.
So let's take it from there.
