Politics The Elephant in the room...The GOP today

Not good what a Republican strategist thinks his own party has lost its way...

McConnell accuses Pelosi of “shameless game-playing”

The pot calling the kettle black
If we ever saw it

The pot/McConnell being the equivalent of a black hole
Or black hole of Calcutta (same diff)

The man has no shame
He will do anything to get his way

 

GOP Strategist Rick Wilson Torches Republicans With Scathing Trump Loyalty Rules

Gotta luv the sarcasm...

Between the conservative led Lincoln Project and Republicans For Rule Of Law
You'd would hope that the leadership of the GOP would figure out they're going to hell in a handbasket...and stop that slide.

But I think they're too far gone.
And my intuition says they're bought & blackmailed by Russian funds. (at least those like McConnell and Graham, if not others)

The only thing that will stop them, is pain
Pain from loss of power and position.
Perhaps even jail...if their influence source are revealed.

Let's hope for the vote...t turn against them.
You may even have some conservatives leading the charge.

“Republicans Senators have a problem besides impeachment”

Oh yeah, showing their true colors on corruption and faith to the party over the nation and its citizens will really help them.

They need to bring those polls up...

Better start our tiny symphony with the world smallest violin section

 

Going for a triple play here...
Can Anyone Save the G.O.P.?

The Real Risks of Republicans’ Burying Their Heads in the Sand

Trump’s Evil Is Contagious

Now these are all from the NYT, which is known for leaning one way a bit.
But there is a drumbeat now of how the GOP may be shooting itself in the foot.

Question is, will it matter???

I doubt it...most have sold their souls.
Made a deal with the devil.

I actually feel for the Never Trumpers or those that may want him gone.
What can you do to save your party?

It's not going to be like last time, where the impeaching party was punished.
Because that was small beans and the public knew it...slapped your hands for drama and distraction on such piddling shit.

The Dems are gunned up...because this IS significant.
And the public knows it.

 

Good point

 

Stuck in their seats, senators confront trial tedium

Aww, we can soothe them to sleep by playing the world’s smallest violin

Isn’t THIS what we pay ya for???

 

Wake up, Republicans. Your party stands for all the wrong things now.

Which is why I've said that I'm more anti-GOP than pro Dem.
The Dems aren't perfect...but this is a false equivalence.
The current GOP has taken rottenness to it's core.
The non-humorous equivalent of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Say anything, do almost anything for party against the other...whether right for the nation or not.
Petty politics.

I wish it were otherwise.

Maybe there needs to a new party of conservatives.
There seems to be quite a few now as standing for values, not just power.

 

GOP senators reportedly 'blindsided' by Bolton revelations

Oops
Sounds familiar
Y'know, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?

IDIOTS, you're supporting a gangster!!!
And not even a rational one at that.

Look in the mirror.
splash some water on the face
save your soul

 

Horowitz: Congressional Budget Office projects trillion-dollar deficits indefinitely

How’s that fiscal responsibility y’all are always clamoring about going???

Oh, it only counts when the opposition is in control.
We see what ya did there.

Is there ANY integrity in ya anymore?
A bit?

No...then GTFO

 

Carl Bernstein accuses GOP senators of cover-up: 'Shameful episode in our history'

If doesn’t know, who does???
Especially cover ups.

Hell, ya don’t even need a Deep Throat to figure this out
The criminals have been inept
The GOP has been complicit
Anyone who is not in denial can see the obvious

Down the slippery slope to Hell they go
Hopefully not bring us and the nation with them

 

The GOP doesn’t deserve to survive this debacle

I agree whole-heartedly
And this is from a previous Republican, now Independent (same as myself)

Corruption, complicity and toxicity.
KISS

This is what the GOP has come to.
We can only hope to see change, for the better.

But the party should die.
And another conservative group with integrity comes forth.
Another party like Lincoln espoused to and would belong.

This one has rotted.

 

Joe Biden Could Be Impeached by GOP Over Ukraine if He Wins, Iowa Senator Says

Just pathetic
Rotten to the core.

But thank you for showing your hand ahead of time.
It will give the Dems a chance to cover their bases if Biden should win.

...talk about invalidating elections (beforehand yet...geez)

If I were the Dems, I'd be ready for ANY election deceit and manipulation (foreign or domestic)
And BOTH have shown they're capable AND have done it before.

Sad, we've gotten to this.

But the GOP has shown itself already complicit and willing to most anything to win.
Wish it were otherwise.

Biden and the Dems have to be ready for anything.
If I were Pelosi, I'd be using every power capable as Speaker to take steps.
Not anything criminal...but to prepare for ANY criminal action. (if not prevent it, if possible)

Engage Roberts and the court system to lock it down.

This is some 3rd world country Tyranny level shit.
Very scary shit.

Some are slowly going insane, if they haven't gotten there yet.

We're not being paranoid
They've already shown it.
Let's not be in denial.

If we're going to keep the US a fair and good nation.
Sad...incredibly sad.

 

Republican Party Official Quits Saying GOP Is 'Propaganda Shill' for Trump — Newsweek

Get ready for this to go from trickle to flood
It’s been steadily increasing

And as things get worse and weirder
Many will start to want to save their integrity and souls

Besides the GOP isn’t what it used to represent

 

Romney votes to convict Trump on abuse of power, making history in the process — The Washington Post

One black (sheep) elephant in the room
The rest are strangely yellow.

Get ready for even more antics

And I make you a bet that, he’s already forgotten that he can be impeached...again.
And that Pelosi, hasn’t
(and is more likely to pull that trigger again unlike the past, given her reaction to the SOTU)

But considering Romney did so this time
It wouldn’t be unexpected that more GOP "may" next time.

And I don’t think the House leadership gives a flying crap how this affects the primaries...because it didn’t this time.

Let’s see how the GOP reacts now
Especially when more crime likely comes out.
A leopard can’t change its spots
And this one likes eating people’s faces (as the meme goes)

 

Not good news for the GOP
