With proper framing, the Republican Party should be owning every action of Trump and they are not.

Now "Needy Amin" is making noises about the US leaving NATO. This is insanity! If the Republican Party does nothing over the US leaving NATO, THEY SHOULD OWN IT!

They should also be owning:

- Russian Interference (Putin)
- The Disastrous Covid Response
- The January 6th Insurrection
- The Stolen Documents at Mara a Lago
- Billions in Grifting
- Physically Destroying the White House
- Invading Iran (Netanyahu)
- Inflation
- Oil and Grocery Prices Skyrocketing

Many Americans don't understand that the GOP has power that Democrats don't, yet they have done absolutely NOTHING to stop any of the madness.

Democrats need to be weighting everything around the Congressional Republicans cowardice necks and they're just not effectively doing it because "Skippy the DC Pollster" is telling them they must be be "positive" for the voters.

Rant done. Thank you for listening!

If Trump's insane, corrupt actions were effectively being held around Congressional Republicans necks, they would be.

Nixon himself was toppled, but his stench around the Republican Party lasted one election cycle. After just one term of Democratic control, Republicans were able to elect the even more odious and corrupt Ronald Reagan. Reagan's success put us on the road to fascism (an omnipotent Executive branch serving the powerful) we are traveling on today.

… to weigh on the issues of the day and assign blame where it is due.

So. There we are and there they get away.

Republicans replaced Iran's elected leader with dictator in the 1950s.

Republicans supported Iraq during their war with Iran in the 1980s.

Republicans confirmed current cabinet and military officials who were loyalists instead of experts which led to current Iran disaster.

Republicans have also controlled the Supreme Court for 75+ years allowing GOP presidents to unconstitutionally declare wars, ignore original intent in the Constitution, strip Constitutional rights from women, and completely create 'presidential immunity' out of thin air.
