The GOP went to bed with Sarah Palin in 2008 and woke up with Trump in 2016

Now they're dragging around Trump's carcass like a dead hooker that is beginning to smell

and he has not intention of going away ... unless going away involves ... going away to prison.


This is no time to let bygones be bygones, this is the time to expose every single bit of criminality and corruption and hammer away at the Republicans for allowing Trump and the criminals he surrounded himself with, to perpetrate it unabated.

2004. The all righteous military praises bought an attack on a veteran. A highly praised officer who volunteered from the safe blue water to deadly brown water Navy in Vietnam. They mocked him wearing band aids at the convention.

Most saw this as nasty Rove-ian tactics but it should show they would fall in line behind even the most counter-to their-dogma storyline. Even post 9/11 fever didn’t really explain it.

A black President and gay being okay sent them over the edge.

Did I get my greater than sign right? All I remember is that if it was alligator jaws, they would be open to the bigger integer.

The rightwing crazies burrowed into the party then and kept extending their influence.
