Alabama Republican Party to gift Trump with resolution acknowledging him as one of the 'greatest' pr

Source: MSN

The Alabama Republican Party will honor former President Trump for being "one of the greatest and most effective presidents in the 245-year history of this Republic," Fox News reported.

At a Saturday evening reception held at Mar-a-Lago, the party will present Trump with a framed resolution that grants him the honor.

"The resolution, basically, it just talks about the greatness of Donald J. Trump, how he made America great again and I hope other states will follow suit," Perry Hooper Jr., a former state representative and a member of the state party's executive committee, told Fox News.

Members of the state's GOP unanimously voted on the resolution, which claims that "President Trump put the American people and the American worker first in all of his decisions."

Jesus H. Christ on a stick! Is anyone is that sorry-assed excuse for a political party capable of removing his/her head from tRump’s ass long enough to see reality? The crystal meth that those useless wastes of space (that we loosely call “people”) are smoking, must be stronger than anything that Walter White (aka “Heisenberg”) ever cooked up on Breaking Bad.

Trump NOT our greatest leader.

Official republican position - Lincoln was our nation's greatest leader

Thank God republicans won that war back in the 1860s.

This is the official position of today's republicans.
From the 2004 GOP Platform

"One hundred and fifty years ago, Americans who had gathered to protest the expansion of slavery gave birth to a political Party that would save the Union - the Republican Party.

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln of Illinois carried the Republican banner in the Presidential election and was elected the Party's first President. He became our nation's greatest leader … and one of our Party's greatest heroes. "

Putin and MBS are public knowledge? When the scope of his family and cabinet officer's corruption, and the scale of his income made from forcing government agencies to pay luxury fees to use HIS hotel rooms and resorts are fully exposed? Will he still be the "Best President Ever"?

I know Alabama politics can be as corrupt as neighboring states and the current crop of GOP legislators think they are among the "chosen" by His Serial Sadist Highness. At some point the cost of that absolutism comes due and I wonder what will happen then.

Cute way to charge outrageous amounts to attend, and launder the tons of money directly into his pocket.

Did you see where Lara Trump is funneling vast amounts from her "animal charity" into having event after event held at Trump facilities across the nation, and paying the facility an outrageous amount for hosting her charity events............Sounds a lot like the "Trump Charity" that the Feds busted up.......

Grifters gotta Grift...............He and the RepubliCONs are still acting like there are no regulations of any kinds, or any Rule of Laws to worry about...

New York banned the Trump family (blood relatives) from running any charities for some period of time.

Not sure if/how that would apply to them in any other state, so not sure this is the real reason behind Lara being in charge of this particular one.

Honestly, what is wrong with these people??

HTG, they are Nazis. They are fascists. We came *this close* to losing our country. Do they think that we will sit there when they try Jan. 6th again? They're gonna die!

I thought I'd seen it all with the Fatted Donald statue. These people have sold their souls to a demon. I swear!
