I hate what the Republicans have done to our Constitution and the rule of law.

I despise the way they had a chance to stand up and protect the rule of law and they chose to destroy it, instead.

As if it wasn't enough when the former President attempted to extort the President of Ukraine by "asking a favor", they had to go further, to vote that he should not be convicted for his transgression. They were warned that he would do it again and that it would be worse. The rule of law was severely wounded. Then, it happened again.

It is despicable the way the Republican cult murdered the rule of law on January 6th. Our Capitol was captured by a gang of criminal, brain-washed, misfits. There was a conspiracy to take over the Capitol, stop the Electoral College vote certification, and declare that Donald Trump had won the election, after all the alternate ballots were counted. They have done nothing short of betraying our country.

It hurts to realize that they had a chance to do the right thing and chose the opposite path. There is no need to mention names. They know who they are and you know who they are. They are a disgrace to America.

They have forgotten their oath to the Constitution.

They could not get a conviction, even after our Capitol was violently attacked?? What's their excuse?

Autocratic form of government. Access to all US assets.

In return they will give their base white christian minority rule.

The GOP could care less about the US, the constitution, national security or the lives of American citizens.

The US will be like Russia, ruled by oligarchs and mobsters.
