MAGA Republicans want revenge for getting caught committing crimes.

[kentuck]

They are threatening to defund or to do away with the FBI and the DOJ. They want revenge for being exposed committing criminal acts.

No one is permitted to call them on their lies and crimes, otherwise, they will pay a huge political price.

They demand that the truth be punished. The people have no need to know their complicity in attempting to steal an election and over-throwing the elected government. They demand loyalty to a leader that steals national security secrets on his way out the door.

How dare anyone call them out! They call themselves the law and order Party but the law and order is for everyone else.

1. The best defense is a...

you know.

For years, the reich wing has acted like this: if they don't get everything they want, then they're oppressed.
-if they can't impose their superstition on the rest of us, they're crucified
-"law and order" only applies to the Other
-if you stand up to a bully, then YOU are the bully
etc

This isn't hypocrisy. It's how they seize power.

2. Typical bully behavior...

3. Title says it all.

But, yeah, now they're showing their methods. They are bullies. They're accustom to developing their support groups and brow beating anyone that gets in their way. In Florida, this is how they take over our HOAs.

4. They can whine and moan to their heart's content.

Blackrock, KKR and the rest of them, aren't going to just sit by and let the children blow up the whole system.

Getting drag queens murdered or women forced into childbirth is one thing. Blowing up the stability of the financial market is something else.

5. Another example of Republican projection.

Who wants to defund the police? Republicans do.

[Grins]

6. They are still mad that Nixon got caught.

And they couldn’t help Nixon get away with it.

Impeaching Bill Clinton was revenge for Nixon. And now they want revenge for Trump. And willing to propose totalitarianism to get it.

[PatSeg]

8. That's for sure

And they'll keep exacting revenge for decades to come.

[PatSeg]

7. Yep, they love law enforcement

when it is holding other people accountable. Just like they hate people who leech off of the government, except when it is them and their families. They are often the exception to every rule that they profess to believe in.

9. It's the Bizzaro World.

10. Obstructionism on obstructionism by the obstructionists.

The shit never changes.

11. Velshi on MSNBC covering TFG speech says he's running for dictator.

And the excerpts they've played it sure sounds like it.

[ancianita]

12. Amen, kentuck. You have described the pathology of a criminal syndicate.

That syndicate has oligarchs behind them. We need to name them, too.

We must not allow anti-democracy oligarchs to go scott-free at the expense of human rights and rule of law.

13. Instead, they are weak on crime.

14. GWB told us it would be the ownership society. He meant GOP owns law and order. /nt

[republianmushroom]

15. Well , Kentuck, understands republican law and order.

[vapor2]

16. Willing to bet every.single.repuglican is complicit

in Jan 6 and yes, their agenda is revenge. This is sad for our country

17. You know these little 12 X 18 inch garden flags?

You know -- the "garden flags" that hang on a metal stand and welcom spring, summer, fall, winter; celebrate holidays, and the like?

Well, there also are political garden flags.

The MAGAt across the road from me is causing some real problems in the neighborhood and our Property Owners' Association is about to sue the shit out of him. In Virginia, the HOA/POA statute gives the Associations almost as much power as local governments.

Well, any -- I digress. The MAGAt across the street has been focusing his ire on me. I purchased a few political garden signs and Saturday morning I hung out one reading: "Vote Democratic! We may not be perfect the other side is crazy!" This morning, the sign was gone. But I have a few spares, plus others that are not as polite. This is war.

Tomorrow morning I'm hanging this one.

18. That's part of why the went after Bill Clinton: "Revenge for Nixon" some even said out loud

Not to downplay the "because he's a Democrat" part, which was also a major motivator in ginning up an endless stream of bullshit "Clinton scandals" so that a day wouldn't go by without the words "Clinton" "scandal" and "investigation" being in the headlines.

[Snackshack]

19. Phuck them.

Most of those a@@hole belong in jail. The rest out of congress. Send them to 6th / San Pedro see how tough they are then.

🖕them.

[Boomerproud]

20. Wasn't that the core of Hillary-hate?

She had the gall to be one of the young lawyers investigating Watergate. They have never forgiven her.

[Snackshack]

21. I did not know this.

I thought the hatred stemmed from her audacity to think she could re-vamp our healthcare system and finally make it level for. If only she could have been successful. We would have single payer by now and the system would be orders of magnitude better then the 💩 for profit fubar system we have had forced upon us.

The days of going to doctor to get an issue addressed are over. Now it seems anything and everything is a referral with a 6 month wait time.
