How does the GOP get away with it? [View all]

They get away with wrongly removing voters from voter rolls.
They get away with pathological lying.
They get away with constant hypocrisy.
They get away with lying America into a war.
They get away with working for Russia.

So How do they do it?
The M$M allows them to get away with it by playing the "What about game." (What about the Democrats, they do it too.) The Democratic party allows them to get away with it. For example, the Black Congressional caucus wanted just one U.S. Senator to support questioning the legitimacy of Bush's first election. Now we have a second illegitimate pResident and his illegitimate gerrymandered congress--not to mention the extremely illegitimate Robert's Supreme JOKE!

Finally, the always fearful American people allowed this to happen. They stood for Bush's wars and didn't insist that this traitor be prosecuted. They stood for Trumps lies and didn't laugh this clown into oblivion. They elected this world-famous liar, loser and fraud president. It's like a line out of the song Springtime for Hitler

Yet we also asked how the Soviet Union got away with its lies during the Cold War. Where are they now? Perhaps truth will win out and the GOP, it's fake religion and the whole billionaire class will be severely punished for the terrible harm they have brought to the people of the United States and the world. Perhaps. But I'd just be glad to see them gone.
