And the answer is ...

[NanceGreggs]

For the past six years, decent people have asked the obvious question: How low is the GOP willing to sink in order to protect, defend, cover for, and bow down to kiss the ass of Donald Trump?

His law-breaking, his abuse of power, his pathological lying, his theft, his blatant racism, and his embarrassing stupidity weren't enough to get them off their knees.

His spewing of misinformation during COVID, which led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, didn't phase them. His incitement of violence, which culminated in his attempt to overthrow our democracy via armed insurrectionists, didn't remove a single pair of Republican lips from the Great Orange Taint.

And now we have the ultimate answer from the sycophantic ass-kissers across the aisle: Trump declaring that the US Constitution should be discarded is STILL NOT ENOUGH to move a single GOPer to stop crawling on their knees and demonstrate that they still have a somewhat functioning spine.

And so we move on to our next question: Is there anything more pathetic than a flaccid-dicked Republican who thinks that licking Trump's asshole is a path to political power?

Apparently, there are those who still believe it is. I don't hold out much hope for any of them.

1. It's not just Trump's ass that they lick it's

the dark monied right wing domestic oligarchs who have the same views as Trump and who fund the Magat party and who own and control the MSM the control the narrative. It is people like Elon Musk who have spent billions to ruin Twitter, all designed to push the anti-democratic agenda.

Everything is going according to plan for the fascists.

2. IMO, it's not as much tfg as it is The Brand that they protect at all costs...

even to the point of selling what little humanity they have left.

3. Conservatives have been fighting Democracy since The Enlightenment in the 1700's.

It's just who they are.

White Privileged idiotic stupid racist misogynistic bigoted monied aristocratic authoritarian christo-fascist corporatist greedy sociopathic people.

If I missed any shitholes, my apologies.

4. If the GOP can't grab power "legally", then they will resort to terrorism like Trump is telling them

to do. Even if the mainstream GOP denies it, they are always tacitly implying it or supporting it.

5. The Confederacy was never vanquished

Nearly two hundred years have passed and the demographics have changed, but make no mistake, failing to put down the beast when the opportunity existed has doomed us to Trump, to MAGA, and to yet another Constitutional crisis.

[Demsrule86]

10. That is nonsense. The Confederacy was vanquished. This is not the same. This is more akin to the

1930's. Listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast or read about the businessman's revolt and who participated.

[Mr. Ected]

14. You apparently don't live in the South

Though they lack the good sense to understand why, it is incontrovertible that the natives here still wish to wage war on the federal government. If you think the confederacy died in 1865 and was reborn in the 1930's, then you'd best stop tagging posts with words like "nonsense".

[llashram]

6. per last question

nope.

[vlyons]

7. If by oligarchs, you also mean Wall St and fossil fuels and the war machine, you are right

I just watched Penn and Teller's movie about Enron. Remember Enron, a corporation that was greed on steroids? Built on lies and bribes. It's bankruptcy was the largest in US history. It's corruption so massive that it also took down and destroyed Arthur Anderson, the oldest accounting firm in the US. It is the corruption of greed that is at the heart of capitalism and the Republican party. Is there a deregulation or a tax reduction that Republicans don't love? Public money spent on healthcare, education, infrastructure would be ever so much better in the pockets of the ultrarich.

How many millions, billions of $$$ does it take to be truly safe and truly happy?

12. Well said

[Mr. Steve]

8. Well stated

Well phrased and precisely accurate.

[Demsrule86]

9. He specifically targeted New York and California and sent no help because they didn't vote for him.

Trump is a monster. It will be a great day for America and the world when he is permanently gone to whatever awaits monsters like him after they die. I am not talking about violence just the natural course of life...ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

11. The only remedy is to totally disempower them with prejudice toward accountability.

There are few, if any, Republican Representatives or Senators who deserve less than criminal charges for their years of polluting the national conversation with intentional miscommunications and blatant lies. Indict and arrest them, including anyone in the federal judicial system who has abetted this pollution. Prosecute, fine into penury and imprison them all. They are friends and supporters of the world's greatest enemy, a misinformed electorate. They continue to enrich and empower themselves at the taxpayers' expense. Trump has always been but the tip of the iceberg, the barker for the show just inside their tent.

We have media owned by interests whose only purpose is profit. They have and continue to misrepresent news events as a production for the entertainment of viewers whose sole purpose is to buy products advertised by their sponsors.

[Pepsidog]

13. They are too ignorant and misinformed to know how low they have gone.

[Prairie_Seagull]

15. With long term demographics changing, i believe the only chance they are willing to see

is increased volume and lying rhetoric. My hope is this is a death knell of sorts.

Question is, how much damage do they do while patient is dying.

[Skittles]

17. repukes don't even believe in America yet declare themselves to be GREAT PATRIOTS

that is a serious WTF

[Emile]

18. The power of the magic R is extremely powerful. It's

so powerful it can get people to shoot themselves in the foot for the entertainment of tax evading billionaires!
