The list of things Ive become sick of hearing from gutless Republicans is a lengthy one. But just to name a few
The pResident is unhappy with how Jeff Sessions is doing his job. No. Trump is furious with the fact that Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation when hed fully counted on him to protect him personally from any such probe. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop pretending there is anything else going on here.
The pResident nominated Kavanaugh because he believes him to be the most qualified person for a seat on the Supreme Court. No. Trump nominated Kavanaugh based on the judges position that a sitting president is above the law, and should not be subjected to any investigations, nor subject to any queries about his actions. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop trying to spin the bleedin obvious into some ridiculous notion that Trump had anything else in mind when he nominated him.
The pResident misspoke, was mistaken, got his numbers wrong, et cetera. No. Trump is a liar and has been proven to be a liar on a regular basis. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop trying to excuse the constant stream of self-serving lies that spew from Trumps mouth on a daily basis.
The fact that Mueller has brought indictments and obtained guilty pleas from people like Flynn, Manafort, Cohen, et cetera, is proof that hes found no evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. No. The fact is that Mueller has been gathering evidence for over a year, and has yet to conclude his investigation and issue a final report on his findings. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop insisting that people who have been indicted for things like tax fraud and lying to the FBI somehow exonerates Trump from any wrongdoing.
The pResident is determined to put America first, and bring overseas jobs back to the United States. No. Trump continues to have all of his branded merchandise, and all of the furnishings for his hotels and golf resorts, manufactured in low-wage countries. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop promoting the false narrative that Trump is interested in the jobs of American workers.
The pResident is not a racist. No. Trump has called white supremacists and KKK members very fine people, has described non-white nations as shithole countries, and stated that citizens of African countries live in huts. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop trying to walk-back Trumps own obviously racist statements.
The pResident is intelligent, well-informed, and understands the responsibilities of his office. No. Trump has demonstrated his ignorance more to the point, his stupidity on a daily basis. His daily briefings have had to be dumbed-down so that he can (hopefully) understand them, his actions and statements consistently display his inability to grasp the duties of a POTUS, and his tweets are frequently full of incomprehensible covfefe. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop acting as though an obvious idiot knows what hes talking about.
The pResident has accomplished more for the country in eighteen months than any other POTUS. No. What Trump has accomplished is not to the benefit of the country it is only to the benefit of the wealthiest individuals and corporations. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and cease and desist with the bullshit that Trump has done anything for the hard-working middle-class, other than throw them under the bus in order to hand tax-breaks to his wealthy donors and friends.
The pResident is making America great again! No. Trump has engaged in a trade war which he himself stated is a war easily won. His tariffs are destroying American businesses, and are raising prices on goods that American consumers have to pay. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop pushing the narrative that paying higher prices is somehow good for Americans.
The pResident is respected the world over. No. Trump has been met with protestors in every country he has visited, or has attempted to visit. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop trying to convince the citizenry that the lying asshole you elected is welcome anywhere on the planet other than among the ass-kissing sycophants he has surrounded himself with.
The pResident has chosen the best people to fill important positions. No. Many of Trumps best people have been indicted, are under investigation, or have resigned under a cloud of accusations that they abused the power of their positions and/or committed crimes. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and spare us all the utterly ridiculous rhetoric that Trump knows what the fuck he was doing when he chose the best people, other than choosing those he thought would do his bidding without question.
Everyone thinks the pResident is doing a great job. No. Polls show that the only people who believe that are his die-hard base a base that also believes in deep-state conspiracies, a base that relies on Alex Jones and Rush Limbaugh to give them the facts, a base that thinks God himself anointed a self-proclaimed pussy-grabber to govern a nation a base that is shrinking on a daily basis. Everyone knows that so just SAY it, and stop pretending that those poll numbers are somehow suspect simply because they dont reflect the bullshit youve been regurgitating like stomach-churning vomit.
JUST SAY IT! Just admit that your pResident is a Russian-colluding traitor who has never done anything that doesnt serve his own self interests, who hasnt done everything in his power to cover-up his own crimes, who hasnt appointed the most corrupt people to positions of power, who hasnt obstructed justice at every turn, who hasnt spent the majority of his pResidency defending himself against legitimate accusations of corruption, personal greed and acts of treason against the nation, and the Constitution he swore to preserve and protect.
If you did so, we could at least say that youre honest instead of pointing out how willing you are to protect the lying traitor you elected to the highest position in the land.

(27,816 posts)The fact is that if anyone ever attempted to post a complete list of Trump's crimes against the country, they'd break the Internet - which, as our learned, tech-savvy Republican friends have told us, is a series of tubes that you can't just dump something on because it's not a big truck.
Where does one begin trying to connect with - no less reason with - people who swallow this bullshit whole?
The mind boggles ...

If only one of the cable news talking heads would call out the Republicans as you have.
Another brilliant rant.

(4,033 posts)The so-called 'Republican' Congress doesn't give a damn about traditional Republican values, doesn't give a damn about the voters who put them in office, doesn't give a damn about the country, their oath of office, the Constitution, or what Trump is doing. The only thing they care about is hanging on to their power, remaking the US in their image, of making themselves 'above the law', and turning the US into their own fiefdom so that they can get richer and grab more power.
They are ALL a bunch of traitors to their oaths of office. They want to knowingly put someone into a lifetime appointment to the highest and most powerful court in the land who is known to be against Row v Wade, gay marriage, and who believes that when a Republican is President he is above the law, cannot be indicted, or even investigated for any crimes whatsoever.
And folks like Limbaugh and Jones and FOX News want to ride their coattails into their Oligarchy and screw the folks who actually have to go out and work for a living.
I've said it before and I will say it again, if the Dems don't gain control of at least one house of Congress and actually get the duly elected Congress critters seated, that's the end of the USA as anything but a 2nd or 3rd world Oligarchy. You might as well refer to Congress as the Politburo and Trump as 'President for Life'.

(1,402 posts)Nance Greggs....this is the best summary I have read for a long time. Thanks for posting this. Please keep us informed of the real honest truth, we need to hear it over and over. News media tend to gloss over the facts, everything they tell is something to try to make us believe DJT is "normal", but us thinkers know DJT is not a normal president and really not even our president at all, it all is a sham. I thank DU for giving us the facts, too.

(1,975 posts)Because you have hit every nail on the head with one shot.
I would go even further to say that if Trump was not a Russian asset, he has now become one.
Trump has always bought his friends and bought the loyalty of the people around him. There is no huge logic leap to think that he still does this, or tries to do this.
