39. Excuses, excuses, excuses
Tue Dec 20, 2022, 11:55 AM
Dec 2022

That's all these grown men and women have while stepping away from accountability:

It was someone else's fault. It was bad legal advice. Hillary or Hunter Biden made me do it, yada, yada.

Or, even better? It never happened.

One of the comments that has stayed with me came from Mark Meadows. The J6 Committee and the press were hot and heavy discussing Meadows' neck-deep involvement in Trump's paranoid Stop the Steal operation and plan. And Meadows' reaction?

It's so unfair.

A grown man, Chief of Staff to the President of the United States, involved in a unlawful, violent attack on the the US Government and he acts and sounds like a petulant child, a middle-school student caught cheating on a test or stealing lunch money.

It's incredible how twisted the logic, how perverted the reasoning.

And then Pence has the gall to talk about the 'taint of partisanship/bias' on MSNBC. And he says it on Fox News without a trace of irony.

None of these Republicans should ever, ever be permitted to serve in any governmental position again. And many deserve prison time!

Pence knew what was going on, yet did nothing to prevent or warn. After hemming and hawing, he did the right thing, fulfilled his legal obligation to the country by certifying a legitimate election.

How heroic!
