John Boehner Still Voted for Trump

Despite former Speaker John Boehner’s scorching criticisms of Donald Trump in his new book, Boehner told Time that he voted for Trump in last year’s presidential election.

Said Boehner: “I voted for Donald Trump. I thought that his policies, by and large, mirrored the policies that I believed in. I thought the choices for the Supreme Court were top notch. At the end of the day, who gets nominated to the federal courts is really the most important thing a President does.”

the former guy? The first time I could see, for him. The second time, no excuse, and it makes him look like he's full of shit. The book is an attempt to make one last big score.

They were willing to tolerate all of Trump's dangerous incompetence, malice and depravity as long as they could get their rightwing judges and their tax cuts.

Appointment of judges, justices . . .

Eff shithole's response to COVID-19 . . . which caused and still is causing American deaths.

Eff shithole's failed economy plus his bullying and support of racism and pure hatred.

Eff shithole's corruption, lying, stealing and cheating and downright ripping off the American people.

Eff democracy.

But Boehner's only concern - the unqualified fucked up judges and justices.
