18. I don't trust any Republicans.
Tue Dec 15, 2020, 07:54 AM

Why is it that, on those rare occasions that a Republican does some small thing that smacks of human decency, the media gushes over them like they are some kind of saint performing a miracle?

Democrats do good things every day, and the media ignores this, because doing good things is just what Democrats do, it's the norm, it is just what is expected of them. So it's no big deal.

Corruption, dishonesty, profound self-deception, and lack of integrity are primary characteristics of the overwhelming majority of Republicans. It's just how they roll.

If they had even a shred of integrity, Republican leaders would have acknowledged that President Elect Biden soon after the election was called for him. Republican leaders are now being excused for not acknowledging that Joe Biden won the election, under the pretense that they were simply afraid of Trump. At best, that makes them weak, cowardly punks, willing to sell America, democracy, and the People of the United States down the river at the command of a bully tyrant intent on becoming Supreme Dictator of the United States.

In reality, they were all praying daily to their misconceived idea of Jesus that Trump would succeed at stealing the election, become dictator, and that the Republican party would become the permanent ruling party in the US.

There is no way out for the Republican leaders who refused to acknowledge President Elect Biden's win. They are now eternally branded as corrupt, treasonous scumbags who can never be trusted, and they should always be dealt with as such.

They disgust me beyond my capacity to bear.
