An honest GOPer would say "We've got it now, it sucks to be you"

But they have to regurgitate the latest message/lie from Faux/SHS/DJT/Barr and wrap the flag around their head to stop any light/truth from entering.

They don't care about winning or losing or rules or laws or decency or Jesus or the health/well being of their families.

All they care about is that they are at the controls and will gladly drive us off the cliff while singing "Nearer My God to Thee".

I fear for our country and the larger world around us.

Open obstruction and escalating racism led us to today.

Hopefully 2020 will mark the downfall of the GOP as currently oriented. Don't expect them to be wiped out, but damaged enough to drive this current crew of dead-enders back under their rocks.

Then McConnell declaring he would make Obama a one-term president and promising to obstruct at every single turn, that was the turn of American politics from respectful to what we have now.

The majority of Trump voters are just brain dead.
