Assholes like him only "Back the Blue" when they're teargassing peaceful BLM protestors or murdering George Floyd.

(an oxymoron these days) wouldn’t have been with him in the first place. They all started out guns a blazin’, calling him exactly what he was. Rubio, Graham, you name it. Once they realized their Republican constituents had been thoroughly tenderized by Fox News, they fell in line. That’s what they do. If they didn’t, there was hell to pay. Democrats we’re left to reluctantly realize what the hell they were dealing with. You only need to rewatch his rallies. They cheered so loudly at the mention of violence against perceived enemies. Trump thanked them for being vicious. So only when the tide has officially turned against Trump will we ever get a glimpse of this elusive creature called respectable Republican.

To this day Pence won't be a decent human being acknowledge what Trump did. Fuck Pence and his bunny too.

Trying to make her a martyr. The hysterical insurrectionist. She was practically foaming at the mouth. Then Marge 3 toes claimed she was trying to stop the madness! As if. Anyway, I digress. The orange buffoon hasn’t an ounce of decency. NONE whatsoever.
