This will be a very simple post. And, yes, I understand that some would term it "simple- minded". [View all]
What I believe to be an obvious but often overlooked truth struck me as I listened to a succession of Republican Congressmen screw on their "earnest" faces and then proceed to lie through their damned teeth about how the White House's briefing about why Trump killed Soleimani was "complete" and "crystal clear" and proved the attack was "legally justified". And, what is the "often overlooked truth" that I rediscovered while listening to this nauseating mendacity?
There are NO good Republicans. Period. Full stop.
I confess that, over the past several years, I have often let myself slip into the "Yeah, but---" frame of mind: "Congressman/Senator Asshat campaigned with Trump!" "YEAH. BUT---Asshat is basically a decent American. He/she will never support unqualified judges; will never support racism; will never look the other way when shown clear evidence of corruption and criminality." But, I'm all better now. I once again see clearly.
Some may occasionally vote with us, but they do so only when their own personal position, profit or liberty is threatened. (Looking at you, Matt Gaetz!)
If they make a statement, it is either false or a temporarily convenient truth.
If they ask a question, they are up to something because they don't need to ask questions---they know everything.
If they shake your hand, count your fingers.
"Good Republicans", like "left-over wine", may exist in theory, but I haven't seen any lately.
