In the past 24 hours have talked to vets of WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan — all royally infuriated at the GOP. One said, and I quote, “I spent 20 years upholding my oath to defend the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. And Mitch McConnell washed it down the drain.”
As Walt Kelly’s Pogo, once said, We have met the enemy, and he is us. Truer words now than when he wrote that in 1970, when he was talking about our overwhelming pollution. Now it more correctly describes the overwhelming cowardice in our own congress.
It is official. There are two kinds of Law in the United States. The rich and powerful have one kind of law applicable only to themselves to protect their wealth, power and privilege. The rest of us have another kind of law to make sure we do not threaten their wealth, power and privilege. After all, the rest of us are too ignorant to understand the complexity of having any wealth, power and privilege.
A display of just how much power Moscow Mitch has.. and how spineless Republican Senators are… and afraid of a tongue lashing from trump. A pretty sad state of affairs for Americans.
Excuse me. Trump was infuriated that there is a law that prevents bribing foreign governments to advance American businesses interests. Wanted it overturned so “We” can corrupt overseas, too.CNBC › 2020/01/17 › kudlow-…Trump advisor Kudlow: White House is ‘looking at’ reforms to global anti-bribery law – CNBC.comMany other sources on this.

Which is a bad thing if you’re a partisan of the US Constitution and the rules it sets out.

You have to wonder what the next episode of lie, cheat or steal he’ll do next! After all the Republicans will do nothing to stop him, why not!

Republicans took their shots, they have no fear of greed, lies, racism or Russian money, they are immune from prosecution.

It is a good thing that Trump has such a big, fat ass. This way all the Republican Senators can line up and kiss it at the same time.
