The Republican Party is quickly falling into a black hole from which they cannot escape.

[kentuck]

They are hoping and praying that none of the stories about Trump and the Russians are true. They are betting the farm that they are not true.

But, if they are, they have all their chips on the table. They have defended their President at every turn, regardless of the evidence presented. They have used distractions, diversions, and outright lies to keep the spotlight off the most-numbing allegations. So far, with the media proclivity to fall for every shiny diversion, they have been able to keep the hounds from the doors.

But, the truth has a way of coming into the light eventually. They will not be able to hide it. It will be in the open for all to see.

When that happens, they will be so far into the black hole, there will be no escape. It will then be too late to act. They are not simply gambling with America's survival, they are gambling with their own survival.

1. I hope they crap out.

Gamblers will get the reference.

[TheMastersNemesis]

2. Based On Previous Elections I Am Not Sure Of That.

Since 1981 and Reagan I have been watching things go down hill. I have watch the GOP trash this country fully the entire time. I have hoped that people would wake up and now we have Trump and the GOP.

[Fast Walker 52]

15. yeah, they are truly the zombie party... a bunch of evil motherfuckers who can't be killed

[Tumbulu]

18. Sadly, I am right there with you

And am looking at the clear collapse of the United part of the states.

I think that they will get what they want, and the purists are just as much to blame for it as the those on the hard right.

[erronis]

23. Agree totally. The apparatus that put the 'uglicans in power is still there

And the bleeting faithful will still follow their masters to slaughter.

If anything, the RW media and string-pullers/leash-tuggers have learned even more about how to jerk jerks.

Too bad the others (LW/liberals) haven't learned very much over the years. Or maybe these groups are just a feeble foil.

[Faux pas]

3. I'm going to love watching

them fall, crash and BURN!

[tblue37]

4. Silly rabbit, don't you know? IOKIYAR! nt

[SHRED]

5. A large chunk of our population has been convinced...

...to hate their own government.

That's not changing anytime soon I'm afraid.

[lame54]

6. What is proof to these people?

[kentuck]

7. Good question.

For many, it would probably take the Steele dossier. The one thing they tend to believe and which they refuse to tolerate is sexual perversion.

[lunatica]

8. It would have to much worse than p***y grabbing

And it would have to be worse than hearing about it from his own mouth as a bragging point.

[kentuck]

9. From all reports...

the Steele dossier is much more pissy that the "grabber" story?

[MineralMan]

10. One can only hope you're right.

[ThoughtCriminal]

11. They are not betting the farm the stories aren't true

They are betting that they can cover up and obstruct the true story.

[Fast Walker 52]

16. True... they are mother fucking traitors

[Maven]

12. Republicans have been fucking America over for literally decades

and have not been seriously punished for it. In fact, they've been repeatedly rewarded with more power.

I want to believe that what you're saying is true, but I don't have any faith in about 50% of the people of this country to discern good from bad, fact from fiction and right from wrong.

[Fast Walker 52]

17. the main problem is conservatism juust has a whole lot more money to throw at people and for funding

propaganda outfits. It's depressing as hell. It doesn't seem like any sense of decency or a conscience is going to stop them.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. I doubt that many of them will care.

Moderate ones won't like it, and hawkish neocons won't like it, but the "fake news" promoters probably won't give a damn. It's basically a religion for them and, coincidentally, some of the strongest Trump supporters are white evangelicals.

[DavidDvorkin]

14. I hope so; America has been giving them enough rope to hang themselves with for years.

[Botany]

19. Sorry but they control the vote and the media so a republican could fuck a .....

..... goat on the capital steps @ noon and it could be broadcast live on CNN/Fox/MSNBC but
by the following morning "our liberal media" will be selling the "look how much republican love
animals" meme.

The GOP is doing that right now selling the non story that President Obama might have tapped
Trump's phone story and congress really needs to look into that controversy. Then they will sell
sure the Russians hacked and rigged our elections but the dems were dirty too.

The Russians were helping the republicans across the board last year and Mitch McShitlips and
Paul "zombie eyed granny starver" Ryan knew about that and used the Russia help too.

[iluvtennis]

20. The GOPers have their Eyes Wide Shut...open them up folks, all the evidence is lurking

[TrollBuster9090]

21. Wishful thinking, I fear.

How many times did Frankenstein's monster keep coming back? (Or ANY zombie, for that matter.)



Most of us honestly thought that the GOP had disappeared down that black hole when the Party NOMINATED Trump. But then the zombie kept walking. No brains. No life. Just a hideous collection of resentments and bumper-sticker slogans in the SHAPE of a human being. And it's pretty hard to KILL something that's not really ALIVE in the first place. I'm serious about that last analogy. The GOP is no longer a party that represents a governing philosophy. It's a POLITICAL ZOMBIE. Just a collection of Pavlovian catch phrases, and resentment dog-whistle slogans, which is very difficult for Democrats to run against.

[rurallib]

22. surely it is a white hole?

[Blue_true]

24. Then, we need to drive a stake through their hearts, dump them into a grave,

pour heavy boulders on top and all around them, pour on garlic water laced with silver and put sand on top, topped off with a stinking black rose. Even then, we would not have given them what they deserve.
