In reply to the discussion: Boehner levels stunning charge against Trump (CNN) [View all]Warpy
(111,152 posts)5. Excellent summation
Right now, they're just rounding up all the assholes they can find. I imagine there will be a lot of good cop/bad cop sessions to get the hangers on to turn against the leaders and the leaders to turn on each other.
We need every high level planner and everyone who contributed money to make it happen to face charges, and I'm looking at you, Ginni Thomas. You need to face a few consequences, yourself, for pushing the big lie and enabling the mob.
If it cleans out a few of the guys Boehner describes so beautifully in his book, that is a good thing.
None of this should be swept under the rug, not now, not ever. We saw what that got us with Reagan, Nixon, and Dubya.

Remember when Boehner was on the far right wing of the Republican party? Good timing for his book.

I guess it depends upon how closely one watches the narrative, Boehner has added weight to other

I get the part about prying the GOP away from Trump, but why subtly reinforce Dem talking points?

Seeing the world only from rich Republicans' perspective was undermining the country

Looks like that pot smoking has made Boehner a lot smarter and more honest. nt
