So Now We Know [View all]
In the midst of all of the ongoing investigations into Trump & Co, at least there is one issue that requires no investigation whatsoever: exactly how low the Republicans were willing to sink in order to protect the Traitor-in-Chief they nominated, supported, and ultimately elected.
They ignored his pussy-grabbing remarks while insisting he is a good, moral Christian. They ignored his inane, incoherent “tweets” while maintaining he was intellectually brilliant. His never-ending string of lies were dismissed as misspeaks or harmless exaggerations.
His bigotry, racism, misogyny, and the inciting/encouraging of violence – all of it was okay with the GOP. His appointment of totally incompetent people to Cabinet positions was cast as “his own unique style of governing”. His ignorance of the simplest operations of our government’s workings was passed-off as political naivete because he was “new to the job”.
When Trump started charging the taxpayers millions of dollars to fund his weekly golf trips, his children’s business excursions, and protecting his wife and son (who refuse to live with him), the Republicans looked the other way.
When Trump accused Barack Obama – AND our British allies – of engaging in criminal activity in order to spy on him, the GOP sat silent.
Despite the overwhelming evidence that Trump and his cohorts were colluding with the Russians during his campaign and his “presidency”, the Republicans dismissed such evidence as being of no consequence.
EVEN WHEN Trump invited the very Russians he was allegedly colluding with to a closed-door meeting in the Oval Office where he admittedly disclosed highly classified information to our sworn enemies, the Republicans defended it as well, he IS the president, so he’s allowed to do that – the consequences be damned.
And now it’s over. The mounting evidence against Trump & Co can no longer be ignored, dismissed, denied.
Where does this leave the GOP? In lifeboats – frantically rowing away from the sinking ship, hoping against hope that no one will remember how enthusiastically they supported and defended Putin’s Puppet from day one.
But we, as a nation, WILL remember. As the Traitor-in-Chief and his GOP-cohorts go down, and go down hard, we WILL remember how the Republicans made excuses for and defended his behaviour, no matter how bizarre. We WILL remember how they supported an illiterate, bloviating, mentally-unhinged liar who they knew all along was unfit for office. We WILL remember the party that was more than willing to throw their fellow citizens and their country under the bus for the sake of chalking-up a “political win”.
The fact is that no matter how fast those GOP-laden lifeboats are propelled away from the sinking ship, we all know – without any doubt or uncertainty – which party was more than anxious to tell their fellow passengers to stand their ground on deck, because the ship was unsinkable.
Now is the time to watch for Republicans boarding lifeboats – claiming they were never really on that sinking ship to begin with. They just happened to be found mid-ocean, feverishly rowing like galley slaves, because they just noticed the iceberg that they insisted was never there.
