kentuck's JournalHouse Republicans are visiting the "political prisoners" in the DC jail today...
...to commiserate with them for the awful way they have been portrayed after they attacked our Capitol. They want them to know that they are sympathetic to their cause.
After all, they were only demonstrating to show their grievances. Primarily, their major grievance was that they were butt-hurt after their Leader lost the election. In their minds, it was not possible for their Leader to lose. A tyrannical government, led by Joe Biden, put them in prison for their political beliefs.
And the Republicans that joined with them on that infamous day are accomplices to the attack upon our Capitol. They chose to participate in a "coup". They wanted to overthrow the elected government and install their Leader for life.
Now, they trek down to the DC Jail to hold hands with the criminals that did the dirty work. They wallow in their victimhood.
The Republican Party is a bunch of "quislings".
A quisling is a traitor, especially one who collaborates with an enemy occupying force for personal gain.
The term arose because in World War II, Vidkun Quisling, a Norwegian politician, volunteered to help the occupying Nazis rule Norway for Germany. Quisling was tried for treason and executed at the end of the war, and his name became synonymous with traitor and collaborator. The word quisling is not commonly used in the United States, however, probably because the American term for a traitor is "Benedict Arnold," the name of a Revolutionary War turncoat.

Is it a big deal if there is no indictment in the NY case?
In my opinion, it has served as a gateway to open the other more "serious" cases.
It did accomplish a few things with Trump announcing he was going to be arrested on Tuesday. It got people talking about the porn star and the former president and whether or not he was guilty? And how important was it in the grand scheme of things?
But, to be connected with a porn star cannot be a great "positive" for someone that leans so heavily on the evangelical vote. It is difficult to see how it helped him at all?
If it ends up that there is no indictment, the media explosion of the last few days has not helped Donald Trump.
And it might help in the other indictments of the more "serious" crimes?
The Accidental President
For 70 years, he had skirted and broke the laws. But he was never held accountable for anything.
When he decided to run for the presidency, negative stories started to break about his financial and personal affairs. A few weeks before the election, a story broke with him on tape telling his friend on a bus how women would let you grab them by the snatch if you were a star. It caused a huge uproar and many Republicans thought it might end his quixotic adventure.
Then, shortly thereafter, another bombshell story was about to break. An adult film star was ready to go public about her affair with the ambitious politician. So his lawyer, his "fixer", arranged to make an agreement with her for her silence. He agreed to pay her $130,000 dollars and get her to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Fortunately, they were able to keep the story quiet until after the election was over. Eventually, it became public. The aspiring politician denied it all.
What would have happened if the story had become public? Would the GOP have requested him to drop out of the race? And, if he stayed in, would he have eventually lost to Hillary Clinton? Would that have been the straw that broke the camel's back?
We will never know. But it does casts doubt upon the legitimacy of the 2016 election. If the whole truth had been known, we might be writing a totally different history?
Is it true?
That there were more protestors for an indictment than there were for supporting Donald Trump?
Interesting.
The Continuing Cover-Up
The Republican Party simply cannot bring themselves to facing the reality of what Donald Trump has done to their Party and to our country.
They shrink away in silence, in hopes that everything that happened with Donald Trump will magically disappear.
They seem to believe they can lock their crazy uncle in the attic and everything will return to normal?
But laws have been broken. Our democracy is under threat from the former president. Our national security is put at risk by the Republican Party.
Yet, they stand with the criminal, excusing it all as nothing more than "political".
They will do anything to keep the truth from being uncovered and to keep the guilty parties from being punished.
The Republicans continue to cover up the criminal acts of the former president.
The blame must be placed where it belongs.
Waco, TX: Connect the dots.
Trump's first rally of this season is next week in Waco, Texas. Why Waco?
On closer look, what better place than the home of David Koresh and his cult following? They died when their compound was attacked and burned to the ground by Janet Reno and the Clinton Justice Department.
It is still controversial today about how they died? And who was responsible?
No doubt, Trump will use the occasion to rile up his own cult and will preach to them about the dangers of the weaponization of the Biden Justice Department against him. He will tell them they need to stand behind him if they want to save their country. Sound familiar?
However, Trump will look at the PR value of the trip. He knows the media will talk about the "cult" and that is what he wants. He wants his "cult" to defend him from indictment and conviction.
I suppose it takes a really warped mind to get into the warped head of Donald Trump? 
Proof that Republicans are soft on crime?
Just look at how they defend Donald Trump or remain silent.
They support criminals.
Shouldn't this be a campaign issue?
"The wheels of justice turn very slowly but grind exceedingly fine".
Make no mistake, if a Democratic president had done what the former president had done, there would be an investigation and there would be a prosecution. There would be no hesitation to put him in jail where he would belong. If you do not believe that to be true, just look at what they are investigating at this moment and how they investigated former President, Bill Clinton, in the past.

"Protest! Protest! Protest!"...
Three times for emphasis.
We cannot forget that he called for a "protest" on January 6th, also. He said, "Be there. Will be wild".
Do you see a call to arms?
How many will follow him this time around?
I would hope that most of his followers have seen the light. They see their friends in jail. They see the former president as a "fraud".
I would be surprised if there is any opposition to Trump's indictment, other than his political accomplices, such as Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, and a few others.
Will any of them speak up? Doubtful.
But, justice matters. The truth matters.
